As the book progresses, it begins to dawn on us… oh no, this is self-insert fanfic!  Help!  It’s official but that’s what it is!  We watch as Dusque is pulled from room to room through a casino by a variety of thirsty, thirsty dudes.

A book set in the world created by an MMO licensed from movies, huh?  Sure, why not?  It’s Ruins of Dantooine, and while I’m sure ruins will turn up at some point, right now it’s time for some framing elements and our first new character, Dusque Mistflier.  Don’t judge, people in Star Wars have to have Fetlife handles too.

As is our custom, we wrap up with a brief discussion about what we’ve learned here from this book, then dive into some good old fashioned listener Q&A before announcing the next book (It looks like a good one to me!)  See you in two weeks!

Time to wrap this baby up!  And how?  Why obviously with a bunch more descriptions of Admiral Daala’s famous hair!  Also the Sun Crusher, while not yet crushing suns, is finally unleashed to just fly… through stuff.

Just when Han is about to get out the Maw, Luke and Lando are dragging us back in!  Meanwhile, how come Leia doesn’t have a staff?  She apparently has an aide, but not a very good one.  Shouldn’t she have a staff?  Like, a whole office building worth of staff?

Two stereotypes for the price of one!  It’s time to meet Qwi Xux, a sexy anime scientist who… doesn’t see the moral concerns in building devastating superweapons yet.  Luke and Lando continue to futz around, and I guess some other stuff happens?  Sort of?

Fully half the book before we met Daala, but boy oh boy does she ever make an impression (on herself).  We’ll have a lot to say about her and her fascinating hair, along with just ripping into Luke and Lando for half-assing everything (that’s Chewie’s job!) and continuing our imploring of Leia to take up any other career.

Okay first of all this is chapters 15-17.  Jef is easily confused.  Han, Chewie and Kyp mount a daring escape while Leia keeps track of Luke’s new Jedi candidates, and her own kids too.  Plus an Imperial surprise!

The time has come to meet Jedi candidate number two!  Streen is a classic “psychic trying to find quiet in a world full of noisy thinkers” archetype, and to get him, we have to go to Bespin.  Why?  Because it was in a movie once, duh.  Meanwhile, Han just keeps riding around in mining carts, and Leia… Leias.

Lando is off on a quest to investigate a gambler.  He will have to go to a gambling place where there is gambling.  Hey, what do we know about this guy again?  Also Leia gets worse and then gets an awakening, and Han starts a little riot.
