Star Wars Lads

Liam and Sanak review the newest Star Wars Book, The Living Force by, John Jackson Miller, the acclaimed author of other Star Wars novels such as Kenobi, Knight Errant, and A New Dawn as well as the Knights of the Old Republic comic book series. The Living Force follows all 12 members of the Jedi Council from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace: Yoda, Mace Windu, Ki-Adi Mundi, Plo Koon, Saesee Tiin, Yaddle, Oppo Rancisis, Yarael Poof, Eeth Koth, Even Piell, Adi Gallia, and Depa Billaba. After an encounter with pirates in the Slice, the Jedi Council is challenged by Qui-Gon Jinn to reconnect with the people of the Republic by helping just one person. This challenge takes them to the planet Kwenn, the site of a High Republic event called The Grand Renewal, where they plan to stage a celebration to honor Kwenn's history. This book shows the Jedi Council at their very best and eerily hints at their coming downfall in the Star Wars prequels.
