Star Wars: Light of the Jedi. Since Lucasfilm was purchased by Disney and the literature was completely reset, the stories have stuck close to the eras we have seen on screen, but that is no longer the case with the new series, Star Wars: The High Republic. In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by Bruce Gibson and William Devereux to talk about Charles Soule's Light of the Jedi. We discuss the disaster, hyperspace, the Nihil, the Republic, the Jedi, an introduction, the epilogue and our ratings.
