Heir to the Empire Review -- Episode 53

It’s Force of Others Friday y’all!

Today we’re yapping all about the most influential Star Wars novel of all time, the one that kickstarted the Star Wars Expanded Universe in 1991, Timothy Zahn’s HEIR TO THE EMPIRE. Responsible for Star Wars Legends staples like Mara Jade, Talon Karrde, force blocking Ysalamiri, and ideas that have been Canonized like Coruscant, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Interdictor Star Destroyers, and of course Hot Chocolate.

But is it any good? Yes, yes it is. We break it all down, give our honest review, and even what we think Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau will take from it and use for the ongoing Mandoverse.

Also on the show this week we remember Star Wars actor Terence Stamp,, breakdown the announced cast list of LEGO Star Wars Pieces of the Past, how Matt Smith has been cast in Starfighter, Ron Howard’s new quotes on Solo, and Hayden Christensen singing at a Chicago Cubs game.

All of that and more on this week’s episode of The Force of Others!
