It's time for part 2 of the Thrawn trilogy, Dark Force Rising by Timothy Zahn! We've tweaked the show format a little to keep things streamlined and focused on Luke, and it pays off with some great character exploration in this middle chapter of a larger story. We have a special holiday segment dedicated to spooky Star Wars in honor of Halloween, and we answer a listener question. Oh, and Jesse almost makes Mike's brain shut down at the end by making him choose The Old Republic or the New Jedi Order... tune in to see how Mike escapes!

If you'd like to submit questions or topics to the show in addition to chatting with us, join the Discord server at https://discord.gg/wuCCuv. That's also where Mike hopes to run a casual session of the Star Wars Role Playing Game! Everyone is welcome, from experienced tabletop RPGers to interested newbies. Lastly, if you want some free stuff, join the Discord server and we'll mail you a Canon Cantina sticker!

We'll continue the Thrawn trilogy until it's done, tune in next week for The Last Command!

Join Star Wars fanatics, Mike and Jesse each episode as we breakdown the character & development of Luke Skywalker throughout both Legends and the  Disney canon. We’ll do our best to connect the dots of Luke’s adventures through the old EU to find out how he differs from the current canon hero, and debate which version would make The Last Jedi better.
