Ep. 171: More of an Active Slurping

Posted on by

This week, we’re wrapping up our discussion of The Rising Storm by Cavan Scott. How dangerous is the Nihil’s new weapon? What might the future hold for the pirates and the Republic? How do genre-bending and new literary techniques fit into Star Wars storytelling? Also, we accidentally talk about feet. There are some audio issues because Ashton messed up but he’s trying his best so please be nice to him.
