The Star Wars Stacks

We've been patient and now we've got it!

The three of us are together along with Angela of the Anomaly podcast (http://www.anomalypodcast.com/) to say everything we have to say about the newly released Force Awakens theatrical trailer!

We discuss football, ticket pre-sales and then we go through the trailer scene by scene.

Next time, we'll likely be a trailer reaction, our next book review is Lost Stars by Claudia Gray: http://www.amazon.com/Journey-Star-Wars-Force-Awakens/dp/1484724984/

This time we're taking a deep dive into the first novel on the journey to the Force Awakens, Aftermath by Chuck Wendig.

Before we get to the book, we have a bit of a chat about some additional figure acquisitions and Chris' recent re-watch of episode 3 with his son.

Then we get to the core of the matter, Aftrmath. As always, we get into a back of the book synopsis and our spoiler-free thoughts before we sound the alarm and dive into a spoileriffic review from start to finish.

Finally, we roll through some listener feedback including a great voicemail from our buddy Bryan.

If you'd like to read the book yourself, grab it from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Aftermath-Star-Journey-Force-Awakens/dp/034551162X

Next time, we'll continue on the Journey to the Force Awakens with the young adult novel Lost Stars by Claudia Gray: http://www.amazon.com/Journey-Star-Wars-Force-Awakens/dp/1484724984/
