VADER FIGHTS TWO HIGH LEVEL BOUNTY HUNTERS; CHANATH CHA AND BEILERT VALANCE! For ep 123, Mike continues the final chapter of the Qi’ra trilogy along with the Bounty Hunters & Aphra comic crossovers! As Chanath Cha finally confronts Vader for 2 decades of revenge, Aphra learns even more from the Spark Eternal and gets more than she bargained for! Plus Beilert Valance also takes issue with Vader & The Empire’s lies so tries to fight the Sith Lord one-on-one in an act of pure anger, but as we know Vader’s fate, what will happen to those who challenge the Sith Lord – will they live to tell the tale?

Last week’s episode was Mike’s review on The High Republic novel Convergence – written by Zoraida Córdova, it is the first “adult” novel in Phase 2 of The High Republic, where a forever war between Eiram & E’ronoh seems to come to an end… In the episode Mike provides his spoiler-free thoughts on the novel, then reads the blurb and provides more information on the book, lightly speaking about characters and themes. Mike then gives the final spoiler-warning and talks in-depth about the characters and gives an overview of the book’s plot, some connections to other content and more!
