Star Wars Book Report

Nothing says Memorial Day like kicking back by some some body of water whether it be lake, ocean, pool, or pond, with a grill going, holding a cold drink in one hand and an iPod in the other listening to Star Wars Book Report: The Podcast.  Have a great and safe holiday, and thank you to all the soldiers that are and have served our great country. In episode 3, we first do a spoiler free book review of Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire.  We follow that up with a little more in depth  review that has spoilage.  We examine where Grand Admiral Thrawn should rank amongst Star War villains, and I share with you my favorite scenes from Heir to the Empire. We also read your e-mails answering the question, what genre you would like to see Star Wars novels enter into next, since Death Troopers has opened the door to other genres. Lastly, I give you my recomended reading if you are looking for a non-typical Star Wars novel. Thanks for listening. As always send us your thoughts and comments to jesse@starwarsbookreport.com or leave us a voice message for our podcast at 706-760-5782.  Have a great day, and thanks for reading. Exploring the galaxy one page at a time, Jesse

In this episode, we have the priviledge of talking with Mrs. Karen Miller the auther of Clone Wars: Wild Space and the Clone Wars: Gambit Duology.  She was a blast to talk to.  Mrs. Miller was opiniated and difinitive.  She gives us her thoughts on the ethics of the Jedi of the Old Republic, who was right on attachment Yoda or Luke, which character she would love to write, and so much more. Also we ask for your e-mails to answer this question, "Which genre or story style would you like to see Star Wars venture into next?"  With Joe Schreiber's Death Troopers, Star Wars has finally ventured out of the action genre into the horror genre.  I want to know what other genres you would like to see Star Wars enter next.  Send those e-mails to jesse@starwarsbookreport.com and I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for listening.
