All's Well That Ends...Not As Bad As It Could Have

Can you believe this episode is a wrap on "Heirs of the Force", the first book of the Young Jedi Knights Series by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta?! I sure can't, but we have great discussion on why Han Solo is the most difficult EU character to write, how Tenel-Ka is the ideal modern romantasy heroine, and this isn't the last we'll see of Qorl. Our listener question isn't a question, it's a call for your best Star Wars joke! If you don't have an original one that's homemade, store bought is fine too (or semi-homemade)!
