We kick off 2021 with a spoiler discussion on the long-awaited "Star Wars: Light of the Jedi" by Charles Soule. This is one of the first books to kick off the High Republic era, and we're *so* excited to finally chat about why we love it! We start with our spoiler-free review of Del Rey's latest novel before taking an in-depth look at all aspects of this book, including the Republic's vision of unity, our new favorite romance, the threat of the Nihil, and why Ember is the cutest charhound the galaxy has ever seen (GOOD GIRL, EMBER!!).

Non-spoiler section (5:14). Spoiler Section: High Republic Overview (22:17); The Jedi (56:22); The Nihil (2:07:37); What's Next? (2:26:37)
