Heir to the Empire - Timothy Zahn - Episode 59

Buddy Book Club

The Buddies nerd out and finally discuss one of their favorite genres: Star Wars (yes, it is its own genre). This time covering Timothy Zahn’s, Heir to the Empire. The book takes place five years after Episode 6 and features all of our favorite characters: Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie (or as Leia would call him, some random alien). The Buddies discuss important Star Wars topics such as: rooting for the underdogs (in this case the Empire), if it’s normal to be attracted to Star Wars drawings, and whether or not the Skywalker family are all bigots. So bring your lightsabers, force powers (although you won’t need them much in this book), and X-wing owner’s manual, and join us in a galaxy far, far away…
