Welcome to episode 64 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: The Novel Bracket Part I. On this episode, Dennis, Jay, and Darth Taxus are out to determine the best Star Wars novel of the new canon. As usual, there is some news to get to first.
The latest Star Wars news begins with a discussion of announcements concerning the hosts of Star Wars Celebration Chicago. Next, the news turns to a groundbreaking honor for Kathleen Kennedy. This show was recorded prior to the latest information from Bob Iger on the future of Star Wars films, and that will be covered in episode 65.
After the news, the Scoundrels dive into this week's "Hyperthetical." Since Lucasfilm reset the Star Wars canon prior to the release of The Force Awakens, a couple dozen novels have graced the shelves of bookstores that enhance, define, and compliment the Star Wars universe. Some, naturally, are better than others. The Scoundrels are out to determine which one is the best. Therefore, they have created a Star Wars novel bracket and are conducting a single elimination vote to determine which book is the best. Joining them for the discussion is Jay Shepard from Jedi Journals, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Case Files, Green Justice, and Scarlet Velocity, and Becca Benjamin from Kanata's Castle and Tarkin's Top Shelf. This is the first half of the discussion, and the Scoundrels get through the first 18 match-ups.
As every episode does, episode 64 ends with "Silence Fools!" In this edition, Dennis, Jay, and Taxus read a listener email and then discuss the results of the last Twitter poll. Afterwards, they propose a new poll about what kind of Star Wars novel they would like to see next.
Thanks for tuning into episode 64 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: The Novel Bracket Part I.
