Welcome to a new episode of Legends and Lore, your one-stop podcast for discussions of Star Wars canon and the Legends that inspire it. In our latest episode, we discuss the luminous Star Wars adult novel Master and Apprentice by Claudia Gray (Lost Stars, Bloodline).

Or will we come to the conclusion that the title of the book is Master and Apprentice - two equally important halves of a […]

All wings report in! This episode: X-wing: Isard's Revenge, chapters 19-24. This is an episode of Rogue Podron in which everything is extremely nice.
