It's a little late for May the 4th... but as per usual, Brittney and Joshua do what they want! Listen to some Star Wars story recommendations, and see if Joshua knows his stuff in a quick trivia game!

Joshua's Pick:

• Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View

Brittney's Pick:

• My Mother by EsmeAmelia (Link to Chapter 1 on Fanfiction.net)

 
Things We Mentioned:

•  Brittney's Buzznana Smoothie Recipe (serves 2, or 1 really hungry person):

- 2 chopped frozen bananas
- 1 heaping Tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 pinches of salt
- 1 Tablespoon greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup of hot coffee or hot black tea.

Let the bananas thaw a bit if you have time, or just add more hot beverage if you don't. For more decadence, add chocolate chips. The above amounts are rough guesstimates, definitely do some taste testing and see what works for you :)

• From A Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back
• Star Wars Legends Wookiepedia
