But despite those accolades Veers has had precious little story time after The Empire Strikes Back. This week Adam and James aim to change all that by delving into what little we do have on the general's life, before speculating wildly on where the story of General Veers might have gone after the Battle of Hoth...

It's hard to imagine a time when Obi-Wan Kenobi was ever at risk of turning to the dark side. But in his teenage years Obi-Wan's recklessness and short temper nearly cost him his dream of becoming a Jedi Knight – and almost saw him condemned to a life as a farmer. This week Adam and James dig into the Jedi Apprentice books by Dave Wulverton and Jude Watson, discovering how a fallen Jedi out for revenge brought Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn together, and how Obi-Wan overcame his inner struggles to become the bedrock of goodness we all know and love.
