Gary’s been listening to The Revenge of the Sith Novelization, while Tim just finished Claudia Gray’s High Republic novel Fallen Star. We’re also both playing Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, though neither host is particularly far into the game at this point. There’s also not a lot of news (this is a lie, see links below to everything we talked about), so we hope you’ll all join us in taking a couple of “Which Character Are You?” Star Wars quizzes!

In this episode:
Dexter Jettster in Star Wars: Brotherhood by Mike Chen
The Star Wars: High Republic Show
Star Wars: Which Jedi Are You?
Star Wars: Which Dark Side User Are You?
