Chill your coaxium and holster your blasters, the team is BACK!! That’s right, Shaun, Alex, and Kate have returned after a too long absence to tackle their first book in the NEW Canon, Bloodline by Claudia Gray. If you haven’t read the book yet, no worries, because the team will give you a giant spoiler wall just in case you think a book that whatever happens before Force Awakens and after Return of the Jedi could actually spoil anything for you. The team discusses how this is primarily a Leia book, what gave rise to the First Order, how and why this is not your mom’s hopeful Star Wars, and so, so much more.
We hope you enjoy the episode!

This book reminded me of something that I don’t think has been addressed in any of the novels or anywhere else. Do the people of the Republic in general know that Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader are the same person? In the novelization of Revenge of the Sith it says that Skywalker and Kenobi were considered heroes of the Clone Wars and idolized by billions. After Anakin fell to the Dark Side I don’t think Obi-Wan and Yoda would have wanted it spread around that he had turned. Anakin also killed everyone on Mustafar who could have made the connection between the two. He was in the armor after that.
