Episode LXXIII - Discerning the Light in a Great Disaster (Light of the Jedi Commentary #3)
Listen now
Description
The FCSA Star Wars Podcast Day episode is here! This week I break down the High Council debate that forms a pivotal interlude in Charles Soule's Light of the Jedi. How do we discern the Will of the Force? How can the past help us decide what to do in the present? Or should we ignore precedent, or future implications, and focus on the task in front of us? All of it is right there on p 300 of this brilliant High Republic novel, so read along and listen in! On the pull list, I talk about Daniel Jose Older's High Republic Adventures #1, and also give some brief thoughts on the first half of Claudia Gray's Into the Dark. Yeah, this is a full-tilt HR podcast now, but I still stan The Last Jedi and the First Trilogy as much as ever!
