Star Wars Universe Podcast episode 214

Update & Book Club • Darth Plagueis • rebroadcast

Update on when we’ll be returning with new episodes, followed by an old favorite – our episode on Darth Plagueis.

Who was Palpatine, and what led him to the Sith? What led Count Dooku to turn his back on the Jedi and the Republic? Who was Darth Plagueis and what role did he play in the Star Wars saga? Brian V. Klein, Paul Hoppe and Matthew Fox explore these questions and more as they dive into the Star Wars novel Darth Plagueis by James Luceno.

We’ve started the conversation. Now we want to hear from you!

A millennial, Gen Z'er, and Gen X'er walk into a cantina...

Each of us came into Star Wars in our own way, at our own time, and there is so much we can learn from each other when those differences fuel conversation, not conflict. Join Erin, Matthew, and Alex as we share our love for the galaxy far, far away on the Star Wars Generations Podcast!
