Welcome to episode 33 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels. On this episode, Dennis and Darth Taxus discuss Darth Bane: Rule of Two as they kick off their summer book club. However, there are other things to get to first. So, get ready for episode 33: Discussion of Destruction.
As always, the guys discuss recent Star Wars news. As with past few weeks, Star Wars is a popular topic. That trend continues this week. Therefore, Dennis and Taxus dive in with a discussion of the announcement that Ron Howard is the new director of the untitled Han Solo movie. In addition, they briefly discuss some of the announcements concerning the Star Wars presence at Disney parks and The Last Jedi Behind the Scenes feature from D23.
With July coming to an end, it is time for another edition of Skystalking. Taxus combed the internet and discovered where all the Star Wars celebrity convention appearances for August. He shares all the news in this episode's edition of Skystalking.
The first installment of the Scoundrels Summer Book Club was a huge success when the guys discussed Darth Bane: Path of Destruction in episode 30. It is time for the sequel. Therefore, Jay Krebs joins the guys as they discuss the second book in the trilogy: Rule of Two. This discussion includes all the major plot points, so listeners are hereby warned.
The discussion begins with the aftermath of the Thoughtbomb on Russan. In the wake of his victory, Bane reformed the Sith Order and has a new apprentice. Then he discovers an unexpected treasure in the Sith camp. Thereafter, he tasks his apprentice with proving herself worthy as he explores an ancient Sith tomb. Once the prize is his, Bane must impress upon his apprentice the necessity of the Rule of Two and the ways of the Sith.
Finally, it wouldn't be an episode of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels without some listener feedback in "Silence Fools!" The discussion of the best comedic moments from Star Wars with Joey Letson in episode 31 proved popular. A few listeners shared their favorite comedic moments and the guys responded.

Happy Fourth of July, Scoundrels! Dennis and Taxus hope your summer is going well. Their summer is going very well, and thanks for asking. In fact, they just got back from their summer vacations. What does this have to do with episode 32 you ask? Good question. Episode 32: Scoundrels on Vacation, was recorded right before the guys went on vacation. Therefore, this is an abbreviated episode missing many of the regular features.
Recent News
The first segment is an abbreviated look at the news. If you thought we would skip over Lord and Miller leaving the Han Solo movie this late in the game, then you guessed wrong. Dennis and Taxus share their thoughts on what this means for the movie going forward.
Darth Vader #1
After the news, the guys briefly discuss Darth Vader #1. More specifically, they discuss the practice of bleeding Kyber Crystals. This concept originated in the Ahsoka novel. What does it mean for Count Dooku and Darth Maul? Dennis and Taxus share their thoughts.
And that is it for this shorter than usual episode of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels. The guys are back from vacation now, and they'll have a longer episode for show 33 featuring their review of Rule of Two, the next novel in the Darth Bane trilogy.
