Speaker 1: The Force will be with you always. Hello and welcome
Speaker 1: back to another episode of Star Wars Alliance. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: sound horrible for this episode. I do not have my
Speaker 1: microphone or my camera, but I will say hopefully all
Speaker 1: of that.
Speaker 2: Will change by next week.
Speaker 1: But I am here of course, your host Clay and
Speaker 1: with the light always is Katie, Katie, how you doing?
Speaker 3: Everybody? From my luscious apartment? I gave a bastline apartment
Speaker 3: at my mom's.
Speaker 2: I love it. I tried.
Speaker 1: My camera is so crap that, uh, the background feature
Speaker 1: can't read that I'm like in a room, so it
Speaker 1: can't even change my background. It can't change between, it
Speaker 1: can't change between, like I can't tell that. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: so uh, I was like, oh, I guess I'm just
Speaker 1: going to be just like this is with this crappy camera.
Speaker 2: Excuse me. Uh but guys, uh, we are here today.
Speaker 1: If you see of this episode, this is the High
Speaker 1: Republic Middle Grade analysis and ranking. The idea behind all
Speaker 1: of this was it started out as, hey, let's do
Speaker 1: a ranking of the High Republic. We'll do the phase
Speaker 1: all of phase one, then we'll do phase two, and
Speaker 1: we'll do phase three. So that way because at the
Speaker 1: very end of the High Republic initiative, we did kind
Speaker 1: of talk about like our favorites, how it all ended,
Speaker 1: and everything else, but we like, throughout the course of
Speaker 1: reading the phrase, we did not talk about rankings. So
Speaker 1: this time around, Katie was like, Hey, instead of doing
Speaker 1: it phase by phase, let's do it reading grade by
Speaker 1: reading grade. And the reason why we're doing this is
Speaker 1: to now see if there is a coherent story for
Speaker 1: each reading level, because not everyone is going to be
Speaker 1: like us. Not everyone is going to say, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: going to read all of.
Speaker 2: The High Republic.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be people who are like, hey, they just
Speaker 1: see a High Republic book on the shelf, pick it
Speaker 1: up and start reading right, or somebody's like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: I started reading this through Star Wars story It starts
Speaker 1: with and then it's the Light of the Jedi, you know.
Speaker 1: So we decided to go reading level, and it was yesterday.
Speaker 1: I thought when we said reading level, I thought we
Speaker 1: were doing reading level by the phase, but you.
Speaker 3: Wanted to rank them all and so I was like,
Speaker 3: middle grade a legit ranking too.
Speaker 1: Yes, So this the way we're going to do it
Speaker 1: today is an actual legitmate for reading levels, of course,
Speaker 1: but my initial thought was, oh, we'll do it by phase.
Speaker 2: We'll do the reading levels. It'll be easy.
Speaker 1: That's three books that I have to read before recording.
Speaker 1: That's super simple. And then Katie sends me a screenshot
Speaker 1: last week and she's like.
Speaker 2: I'm falling behind.
Speaker 1: No, no, And I see a screenshot of the I'm like, wait,
Speaker 1: wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait, why
Speaker 1: are you reading that?
Speaker 2: I thought we're only gonna do this and then she
Speaker 2: explains to me, and I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, okay, well, time this speed run because at
Speaker 1: that point I was.
Speaker 2: Only uh literally the last two chapters of which is
Speaker 2: the second book.
Speaker 1: And she's like, great, sure we can pivot, we can
Speaker 1: do something else with No.
Speaker 2: No, we're good, We're good. You know, We're totally okay.
Speaker 3: I gotta do a lot of laundry.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like, I got chords to dude, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna be listening to stuff all day. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: totally funny. I got to the end of Phase two.
Speaker 1: I didn't read any of Phase three, but I did
Speaker 1: tell Katie right before we started recording that because of
Speaker 1: the fact that Phase three was so recent A La
Speaker 1: last year, I was able to retain a lot of
Speaker 1: the stuff that happened in the three books.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm poor transparencies. I also did not finish, but
Speaker 3: I got through Beware the Nameless, and I remember a
Speaker 3: good chunk of a Valiant Valiant refreshed my brain with
Speaker 3: my Manner's review of a Valiant Valve.
Speaker 2: So okay, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: Because he delves into more spoiler side of things. And
Speaker 3: Wikipedia did not have a plat summary.
Speaker 2: So that makes that makes sense.
Speaker 1: So we are going to be talking about these three
Speaker 1: or five, six, seven, eight books. There's eight books in all.
Speaker 1: Phase two is the only phase that did not have
Speaker 1: three books.
Speaker 2: It only had two.
Speaker 1: But one of the talking points was that Katie brought
Speaker 1: up in this discussion of like, well, oh yes, we're
Speaker 1: gonna one one piece of news and I'm so mad.
Speaker 1: Uh this is this is the PC Alliance effect, guys,
Speaker 1: because every single time they have like a trailer or news,
Speaker 1: it's always like, hey, it's gonna happen the day after
Speaker 1: they were It finally happened to us, and it's happened
Speaker 1: to us before in the past, but this one I'm
Speaker 1: a little disappointed about.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 1: We are getting the Ninth Jedi series trailer tomorrow, So
Speaker 1: by the time you are listening to this on your
Speaker 1: podcast of choice, I'll Catcher sorry choice, you could probably
Speaker 1: already watch it. It's gonna be debuting on Thursday, July second.
Speaker 2: I'm super excited about this.
Speaker 1: Of course, we have talked in Agnolgia about how we
Speaker 1: are so excited about the series because this is finally
Speaker 1: something that is outside of the realm of the Skywalker saga.
Speaker 1: We really enjoyed the last Ronan. Yeah, yeah, it was
Speaker 1: just Ronan, That's right. It was Ronan, which jove deeper
Speaker 1: into that story of visions and the world that it
Speaker 1: built was really really cool, really fun, very supernatural. Uh,
Speaker 1: and we really enjoyed it. Now we get to dive
Speaker 1: into another one of those, of course, being the Ninth Jedi.
Speaker 1: And I'm just I'm so excited genuinely because we have
Speaker 1: been I wouldn't say that we've been uh what's like
Speaker 1: the well is running dry, but I feel.
Speaker 2: Like I feel like we've been we've been lacking with
Speaker 2: some content reason.
Speaker 1: So so jumping into a new series is gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot of fun, and we will talk
Speaker 1: about the trailer of course next week.
Speaker 2: Wait we see it and it's all glory and.
Speaker 3: Guys, this month is going to be super funky because
Speaker 3: we are closing Matt and I, my husband and I
Speaker 3: are closing on our house next week, so we will
Speaker 3: have some pre recorded episodes for you guys in the
Speaker 3: back half of the month, and we'll probably be back
Speaker 3: the last week of July talking about the New Visions manga.
Speaker 3: But we were fortunate enough to receive advanced review copies
Speaker 3: of Star Wars Legacy from Random House Worlds, so we've
Speaker 3: got that one in our belt, and so that embargo
Speaker 3: is actually up in two weeks on July fourteenth, so
Speaker 3: we will have a pre recorded episode for you guys
Speaker 3: talking about that review. I think it's the sixteenth is
Speaker 3: when that episode would drop into podcasters, and then the
Speaker 3: following week it's actually Eyes Like Stars Releases, which is
Speaker 3: I believe it's still from Random House Worlds, but it's
Speaker 3: an imprint, so it's I think it's a Dela Corte Press,
Speaker 3: and so we did get that arc as well, so
Speaker 3: we will be able to talk to you guys about
Speaker 3: both of those legacy at the embargo date, and then
Speaker 3: we will have a review for you guys, Win Eyes
Speaker 3: like Stars releases that is going to be pre recorded.
Speaker 3: So those are the two things that you can look
Speaker 3: forward to. So the sixteenth and then the following week
Speaker 3: would be I think the twenty third, So then the
Speaker 3: thirtieth we will be back, so that would be the
Speaker 3: twenty ninth, we would be back on YouTube live that week.
Speaker 2: So yeah, really really excited.
Speaker 1: And also we did receive the audio files for Legacies,
Speaker 1: so we are going to be able to actually listen
Speaker 1: to the audio it's released as well, and we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that in our review. But yeah, guys, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be talking about the High Republic middle grade books.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: One of the topics that Katie wanted to go over
Speaker 1: was the fact that, like, hey, is there a coherent
Speaker 1: story between.
Speaker 2: Each of these books throughout Beach Face long story Shorts.
Speaker 2: I would say.
Speaker 3: No, I think you have a decent cohesive story in
Speaker 3: Phase two and Phase three, Like singular stories Phase one,
Speaker 3: I don't think you have a cohesive story. And as
Speaker 3: much as I love Ram, it's the race to Crash
Speaker 3: Point Tower, even though you have Vernestra, that is detracted
Speaker 3: because Vernestra's story in that in that wave takes place
Speaker 3: in the young adult story. And so in the the
Speaker 3: Wave three book of Phase one, which is Mission to Disaster,
Speaker 3: you've got like Imrine goes, oh, but I thought your
Speaker 3: hyper space vision or your visions only happened in hyperspace,
Speaker 3: and I had to go like, wait, when did that
Speaker 3: come up? Like, and it's because it happens in just
Speaker 3: in the Ireland's young adult book.
Speaker 1: Yes, And I think that in this way of storytelling
Speaker 1: at best, the middle grade like the way you can
Speaker 1: look at it is in overall story of the High Republic,
Speaker 1: with that an anthology of stories. That's what this feels like.
Speaker 1: If you were to just read the middle grade books
Speaker 1: back to back to back, it would genuinely feel like
Speaker 1: an anthology with some characters able to be still involved.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And with the Phase two I feel like that one.
Speaker 1: I do agree with you. There is a singular like story.
Speaker 3: Because you've got Dash and you've got Ruper in both stories.
Speaker 3: And yes, do you have side characters come in like
Speaker 3: different side characters in each one. Yes, but that those
Speaker 3: two middle grade books are telling Ruper story with some
Speaker 3: sprinkle of Dash as the other main character in this.
Speaker 3: I think for Phase three as much as I wanted
Speaker 3: it to be, Emory's story takes place and defy the
Speaker 3: storm and a valiant vowel, and so for Phase three,
Speaker 3: the story is actually about Teptep as the main character,
Speaker 3: because she's the character that transcends all three stories, and
Speaker 3: it really develops her growth across the whole thing, from
Speaker 3: a youngling who was trying to find her place as
Speaker 3: a trans female in the Jedi Order and coming into
Speaker 3: the end of a valiant vow where she gets to
Speaker 3: be a pad one of someone who she really values
Speaker 3: their opinion and wants to be like them and has
Speaker 3: got a great mentor in that regard. So Phase three
Speaker 3: is definitely a Tep Tep story. Again, I wanted Emory
Speaker 3: because I feel like we left Emory in such a
Speaker 3: fragile state at the end, and I know that he
Speaker 3: also has some bits and pieces a little bit in
Speaker 3: the comics, but really I felt like at the end
Speaker 3: of a Mission to Disaster, I was like, dude, I'm
Speaker 3: scared for Emory. I remember feeling that in the beginning.
Speaker 3: I was scared for Vernestra too, but I knew Vernestra
Speaker 3: was too popular to really kill off at that point,
Speaker 3: and so coming into phase three, I was like, Okay,
Speaker 3: we're getting Emory and these and I get you had
Speaker 3: more authors come in for phase two who wanted to
Speaker 3: do new things in phase three, but I was like,
Speaker 3: I just wish that we had finished the story that
Speaker 3: we would have gotten with the characters that we started with.
Speaker 3: And I think that's the down side of saying, Okay,
Speaker 3: we're gonna take a break and go back in time
Speaker 3: and then come back to these stories.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that looking at it retrospectively, I think I would
Speaker 1: have appreciated the mystery a little bit more if we
Speaker 1: go like if you rearranged it, I would have gone
Speaker 1: a phase one, phase three, phase two. And the reason
Speaker 1: why that is is this is coming from the guy
Speaker 1: that that hates.
Speaker 2: When stories.
Speaker 1: Yes, when when stories are told in not the correct timeline,
Speaker 1: and when I say in the correct timeline, I mean
Speaker 1: more in the correct like numbering. But I think it
Speaker 1: would have been a little bit more fun because looking
Speaker 1: back at these books in phase one, I forgot how
Speaker 1: many teases there were two face too, with the path.
Speaker 2: With the blight and everything else.
Speaker 1: I thought, okay, cool, this like now I see it,
Speaker 1: like there's there's actual like cause Again, when we were
Speaker 1: reading this, we had no idea what was happening in.
Speaker 2: We didn't even have like teasons, what does that happen?
Speaker 1: I think it was in Mission to Disaster. When we
Speaker 1: start to hear of like, oh, there was like some
Speaker 1: bad things that happened a long time ago and it
Speaker 1: had to deal with you.
Speaker 2: Know, Dolma and all of this other stuff, it's like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again it's like, oh, we can get access
Speaker 1: to this information, but we have to request it from the.
Speaker 2: JIT order and all these other things.
Speaker 1: Like you start to see now, you know, post post mortem,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, okay, yeah, they were a.
Speaker 3: Lot of things, but like at the same time, they
Speaker 3: plugged all those things in a Mission to Disaster and
Speaker 3: didn't really follow up on anything. Because the way you
Speaker 3: think about it, right when Michael said, Glaine was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: we're gonna do middle grade, we're gonna do young adult,
Speaker 3: we're gonna do adult. We're gonna have all age comics.
Speaker 3: We're gonna have adult comics, and you're gonna be able
Speaker 3: to read one thing and follow a singular story throughout.
Speaker 3: And this is the whole point of why I wanted
Speaker 3: to switch it up and do the different reading reading things.
Speaker 3: I don't know what you call these re reading levels.
Speaker 3: That's right. I wanted to do the reading levels because
Speaker 3: I remember him saying that and going, Okay, if I
Speaker 3: read these on their own, with no other context, how
Speaker 3: would I feel about how the story carried out? If
Speaker 3: I was just like, oh, my fifth grader wants to
Speaker 3: read these and I'm gonna pick up every single one
Speaker 3: and see how it goes. Yeah, they would be really
Speaker 3: confused in the middle.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't think like, even when you get
Speaker 1: to Mission to Disaster, you have names like Lorna D
Speaker 1: being thrown about like crazy, and it's just like it
Speaker 1: was Lorna D. But they keep telling you, oh, it's
Speaker 1: the Eye, the Eye, the Eye, the Eye. And then
Speaker 1: when you go to escape from Escape from Bellow, where
Speaker 1: the Nameless and a valiant Bow, at this point they're
Speaker 1: already talking about marketing, and it's like you never get
Speaker 1: to learn about d.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because the the if you were reading everything in
Speaker 3: or to your only reference to a Row at that
Speaker 3: point is marta Row at the end of a Quest
Speaker 3: for Planet x SO, and I get the point of Okay,
Speaker 3: let's throw in easter eggs to see if they'll read
Speaker 3: something else, see if we can get them to buy
Speaker 3: something else. Not to this extent, though, this is hey,
Speaker 3: there's something else going on and that you don't know about,
Speaker 3: kind of thing like.
Speaker 1: Ha ha, I have not yet gotten my moving pod yet.
Speaker 1: It has my desk and it has on my books.
Speaker 1: I need to go back to the middle grade specifically
Speaker 1: and see if the inside of the sleeves have any
Speaker 1: type of next reading.
Speaker 2: Recommendations, Yeah, like at the back. Yeah, because I think
Speaker 2: that in some cases.
Speaker 1: What you're saying should happen should be like, oh, you
Speaker 1: know you finished with this, now you should read this.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: We see it a lot in the Marvel comics. At
Speaker 1: the very end of the comics they have like two
Speaker 1: whole pages that are like, oh, this is what's also
Speaker 1: on sale in the Star Wars line of things.
Speaker 2: And so I'm curious. I know they wouldn't.
Speaker 1: Really do it in the young adult and the adult
Speaker 1: novels because.
Speaker 2: That's just not something you do. But unfortunately, just the.
Speaker 1: Way that younger audiences are marketed to is and we
Speaker 1: have to tell them to go buy something else, you know.
Speaker 1: So I'm interested to see if they have anything like that.
Speaker 1: Don't remember if they do or not. But Katie, looking
Speaker 1: at these eight books, you got through six of them.
Speaker 1: I got through five of them, seven, seven of them
Speaker 1: seven and I got through five. I remember the last
Speaker 1: three pretty well. I want to know, because there's eight,
Speaker 1: what are your top not top four?
Speaker 2: Your what is your bottom four? You had to choose
Speaker 2: between these?
Speaker 3: I feel like that's really rude with these big middle grade.
Speaker 1: I understand, like we are in our thirties, like this
Speaker 1: is our audiences that are that are twelve or or younger.
Speaker 2: But still thinking.
Speaker 3: That in mind, I really feel like, as much as
Speaker 3: I love to write a Cordova is writing, I feel like,
Speaker 3: be where the name And I'm not saying this is
Speaker 3: like in order as my bottom I would say this
Speaker 3: is probably just at the bottom. I would probably have
Speaker 3: to say, but where the Nameless sits there? I think
Speaker 3: originally when I read these, both of the Phase two
Speaker 3: books were down there. However, looking at it from a
Speaker 3: reread perspective, I think the only one I'm going to
Speaker 3: put down there is Quest for the Hid in the City,
Speaker 3: which is the first one.
Speaker 2: Now is that because it's a horror book?
Speaker 3: Yes? I still could not stand Gloam Gloom I strongly
Speaker 3: just liked it, but I loved a question for Planet
Speaker 3: that and I remember like thinking like, Okay, this one's
Speaker 3: pretty good and then oh gosh, I think Mission to Disaster.
Speaker 3: And that's mainly because of the House Yon plug in there.
Speaker 3: I feel like Justina Ireland wanted to write a different
Speaker 3: book and they said, yeah, but we need start like
Speaker 3: Beacon to move.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, yeah, I'm going to unfortunately.
Speaker 2: Have Planet X is going to get a stray bullet
Speaker 2: from me.
Speaker 1: That one out of the two Face two books, I
Speaker 1: like Hidden City more. I really like George Man's uh
Speaker 1: adventure through the horror genre and there I thought it
Speaker 1: was really really fun. I will also say in Phase three,
Speaker 1: out of all three books, I would say this is
Speaker 1: the weakest.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say it's bad, it's just the weakest.
Speaker 3: Of the Yeah, and I love so Nuge.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was his introduction, like I really enjoyed him
Speaker 1: as a character. And then I don't know if you
Speaker 1: remember this, but as my very first time reading this book,
Speaker 1: crash Point.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I ever read Crash Point.
Speaker 2: Crash Point was.
Speaker 1: I was not on the podcast until after Crash Point.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: I joined in during phase one, but it was after
Speaker 1: the first pay books, and I.
Speaker 3: Had you go back and read a Test of Courage.
Speaker 3: Because Mission to Disaster was refocusing on Burgnastra, I didn't
Speaker 3: have you go read Race to Crash Point Tower.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So my three from each phase is crash Point, uh,
Speaker 1: planet X and be where the names was. And then
Speaker 1: my fourth just because I do think it was I
Speaker 1: feel like the second time reading it was a little
Speaker 1: bit of a drag, and that is Mission to Disaster.
Speaker 1: I think that there was just too much to focus
Speaker 1: on for especially for a middle grade book.
Speaker 2: We had when we talked about the High Republic.
Speaker 1: A very popular conversation that we have between the two
Speaker 1: of us is perspectives. And I do think that a
Speaker 1: middle grading book can have more than one perspective, but
Speaker 1: it shouldn't go crazy. Mission to this asked here. I
Speaker 1: do feel like went a little crazy with the perspectives
Speaker 1: because we get Renis show, we get uh, memory, we
Speaker 1: get uh, and then we get.
Speaker 2: There was one more? Was there? One?
Speaker 1: One?
Speaker 2: It was just those three, and it just felt like
Speaker 2: it might have just.
Speaker 3: Been a longer Yeah, it is a longer book.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, those would be my bottom four. And
Speaker 1: again guys. It's it's not us just being like, hey,
Speaker 1: let's tear these kids books apart. You know, yeah, we
Speaker 1: we enjoyed reading these, and we do want to give
Speaker 1: them a proper like like is this something like.
Speaker 2: Because eventually.
Speaker 1: Amberlin is not necessarily ready for chapter books right now,
Speaker 1: she's of coourse still three going on to four years old,
Speaker 1: but she will start to get interested in it, and
Speaker 1: of course I'm going to introduce her to stuff that
Speaker 1: we already owned and so like.
Speaker 2: Saying like, hey, you can read these, She's gonna have
Speaker 2: a lot.
Speaker 1: I feel like she's gonna have a lot of questions
Speaker 1: if she just reads the first three books and then
Speaker 1: jumps into.
Speaker 2: Phase two and like hey, what's going on here? You know?
Speaker 2: So that's I think one of.
Speaker 1: The biggest things going into this that Michael and I think,
Speaker 1: just like the entire team with this initiative may probably
Speaker 1: want to hold back on it, even like in their
Speaker 1: next big thing. We have no idea what they're gonna
Speaker 1: if they're ever gonna do something like this again, which
Speaker 1: never say never, right, I would definitely just hold back
Speaker 1: on the like, hey, you could read all of just
Speaker 1: the adult novels and get the entire story.
Speaker 2: So that's just that's my two cents.
Speaker 3: And I think I think they did. I think the
Speaker 3: conversation will be slightly different when it comes to the
Speaker 3: young adult and the adult almost because some of the
Speaker 3: stuff that is in the young adult and adult books
Speaker 3: is a little too violent for what takes place or
Speaker 3: what I would want a middle grader to be able
Speaker 3: to read, and like it borders on it a little bit,
Speaker 3: and where the nameless and a valiant vow, but it
Speaker 3: draws the line, I feel like, pretty perfectly at making
Speaker 3: sure some of those things stick out or stay out
Speaker 3: of a middle grade book to keep it age appropriate.
Speaker 3: So I do think these are great books, but they're
Speaker 3: just not meant to be approached in one singular storyline.
Speaker 3: It's Phase one is its own story, followed by Phase three,
Speaker 3: and then if you want additional material, it's phase two.
Speaker 3: And I do think the phase the phase two books
Speaker 3: track in a little bit better in the young adult
Speaker 3: and adult books because again, it gets into that more
Speaker 3: adult content that you don't want in a middle grade book,
Speaker 3: and so they just tried to add those contextual elements
Speaker 3: in the middle grade books so you still got something.
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day. It was not
Speaker 3: it didn't track successfully.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, very very true.
Speaker 1: Well, this may be one of the shortest episodes we've
Speaker 1: had in a very long time, Katie, I don't know
Speaker 1: if we have anything else we want to add on.
Speaker 3: I don't think so either. But guys, it obviously we
Speaker 3: didn't dive into specifics on these stories. This episode wasn't
Speaker 3: meant to dive into necessarily those specifics, more towards tracking
Speaker 3: things throughout. And again, Clay and I are in the
Speaker 3: middle of life changes, so we kind of struggled a
Speaker 3: little bit with this one. It'll be it'll be different
Speaker 3: with the young adult and adult ones because we'll have
Speaker 3: a little bit more time and not having to pack
Speaker 3: our families up and move exactly.
Speaker 1: Yes, and again, guys, we do have like other thought
Speaker 1: piece episodes that are coming up in the calendar that
Speaker 1: we have had kind of just kind of juggling stuff
Speaker 1: every so often. We've had some stuff in the past
Speaker 1: that we wanted to do and then like books were
Speaker 1: announced and like release states were change, stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and so there's some really fun stuff that we do
Speaker 1: plan on having that will be a little bit more uh,
Speaker 1: thought provoking.
Speaker 2: I guess you could say.
Speaker 1: So, I'm sorry if you're a little disappointed by this
Speaker 1: short episode, but I promise.
Speaker 2: It will get a little needier and a little too here.
Speaker 3: Yep. So next week, God, we will be talking about
Speaker 3: the Doctor Afra mini series that takes place with the
Speaker 3: Star Wars run uh that we just kind of talked about,
Speaker 3: that is called Doctor Afra Chaos Agents, uh, and so
Speaker 3: that will be next week's talk. We'll talk more on
Speaker 3: the box office numbers for Mando as that kind of
Speaker 3: like cycles down the theatrical run, the Ninth Jedi trailer,
Speaker 3: and then the comic review, and then, like we said
Speaker 3: on the sixteenth, on the fifteenth of July, there will
Speaker 3: be no live episode of Star Wars Science. You will
Speaker 3: get a pre recorded episode, uh talking about about our
Speaker 3: review of Star Wars Legacy, which, again, guys, if you
Speaker 3: don't know what that book is, that is basically how
Speaker 3: Leah and Rey form their Jedi training partnership kind of
Speaker 3: trans us from the Last Jedi to where we're at
Speaker 3: and rise of Skywalker. And then we'll follow that up
Speaker 3: the following week with another prerecorded episode talking about Islac
Speaker 3: Stars the first and hopefully a uh continuing genre with
Speaker 3: Star Wars Romance from Dela Coorte Press. That book is
