Brad and Sarah are back to discuss "The Fallen Star" by Claudia Gray, which is the final adult novel for Phase 1 of Star Wars: The High Republic. What happens when the light of the Jedi goes dark? Well... tons of tragedy, actually, and we're still very sad about it! How does this book compare with previous installments? What did each of our characters learn about themselves? Who exhibited heroism despite the chaos? Who lives, who dies? Plus, we break down the latest news around Phase 2: Quest of the Jedi. It's time to pour one out for our fallen heroes and join us for the bumpy (and emotional) ride! (Spoiler talk begins at 35:08)
