Episode 17

Lost Stars

Is Lost Stars just Romeo and Juliet set in the Star Wars universe? Yes and no. There are certainly star-crossed lovers, but those lovers also end up at every big thing that happens from Alderaan to Jakuu. Claudia Gray is one of the best Star Wars writers around right now so even her YA stuff doesn't feel as YA as something like Poe Dameron: Free Fall. If you were waiting for us to talk about a better book for the young 'uns (or the old 'uns like us) then this is definitely it.

The Skywalker saga may be over, but there are enough books to keep Star Wars fans satisfied for years to come. Chad, Ryan, and Beth have started a series to keep you up to date on all the action. Join our book club as we run down the best that canon, legends, and comics have to offer.
