HAN & CHEWIE FIND A MYSTERIOUS DROID NEURAL CORE, BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN? For ep 125, Mike delves into the second & final volume of the Han Solo & Chewbacca series, where Chewie finds himself in a prison with Maz Kanata and the young Phaedra, while Han recovers from being shot by Greedo. The duo must perform a heist all while avoiding a marshall, bounty hunters, the empire and more – plus Mike gives information on Korin Pers, the Gran & Chagrian species and gives an insight in what’s to come for the upcoming Dark Droids crossover event!

Last episode brought another High Republic review, this time for the audiodrama in phase 2: The Battle Of Jedha by George Mann! As per Mike’s other reviews, he begins by giving an overview of the era and provides information on the book itself, before he gives his spoiler-free thoughts. He then gives a mild spoiler warning and speaks more about the characters in the book, the themes and the plot information given in the first part of the book. Mike then reads the blurb/publisher’s summary and gives a major spoiler warning, before giving his thoughts on the whole book and finishes the episode with giving an overview of the book’s plot!
