Friends of the Force: A Star Wars Podcast

If you continue to fight, what will you become? This week, we're taking a deep-dive into STAR WARS: EGDE OF THE ABYSS by Rebecca Roanhorse, which is the second book in the Reign of the Empire trilogy. Can Saw Gerrera outrun the grief and ghosts of his past? What does the fight for Inusagi sovereignty represent in the larger Imperial apparatus? How do the Palmo University protests pave the way for the Ghorman Front. What propoganda can the Empire push with the help of pop stars? All of this and more in today's discussion! Book spoilers begin around 25:00.
