In this episode, Rachael and Kirsty cover the following news:

- J.W. Rinzler passes away

- Taika Waititi turns his attention to his Star Wars film

- New Star Wars Lego special coming - Terrifying Tales

We then cover the final three episodes of The Bad Batch, discussing our thoughts on how the season concluded and our feelings about the show as a whole.

We then dedicate the bulk of the episode to a spoiler-filled discussion of Cavan Scott’s new High Republic novel ‘The Rising Storm’ - we cover our thoughts on Jedi sexy-times, frustrated desires and proto-Force bonds; consider how Marchion Ro compares to Kylo Ren; and place our bets on the identity of ‘The Fallen Star' of the next High Republic novel. If you want to share your thoughts on ‘The Rising Storm’ or the High Republic more generally, please email us at [email protected]
