What are some other Star Wars: Books you'd like us to cover? Also, WHOS EXCITED FOR CELEBRATON?! If you are attending and see us around, come say hi! We will be there all four days.

You guys really need to do the aftermath trilogy it’s so awesome, the characters are great, the era is awesome. It’s hard for some people to get into because the first book was kinda rushed I think and it’s in present tense. But I tell everyone I know to do the aftermath books. I’ve done that trilogy like six times

[@thegoat2959]

You guys need to read the thrawn trilogy (The legends trilogy)

[@matepolcz]

Adam Christopher: Shadows of the Sith or Kiersten White: Padawan. And don't forget to read The High Republic (2021) #1-5, because it's an amazing story that focuses on the Drengir.

[@joec2104]

What!? You guys are going celebration!!

[@iluvyummywaffles]

With Asoka series coming you should do the Thrawn books. They are so awesome on audible too. Marc Thompson nails his voice.

[@JaxKangaroo]

I love listening to Eric talk about star wars, i feel like his love for and knowledge of the story enhances my own

[@PacificEgg]

I guess that business on Cato Neimodia did count

[@DaleESkywalker]

I needed it!

Making things up as we go along... The Armorer is a Dathomirian Sourceress acting as the Royal Advisor playing both sides -- Din with the Dark Saber and Bo with the Mythosaur -- against one another. She guided Satine to take Mandalore into a subservient, pacifist state to bring Maul in and draw Darth Sidious to Mandalore. She would use their clans to take over the Galaxy, removing Palpatine from power. Rather than looking to Royal Advisors as an example, look a little closer to home - the Sith lords Darth Sidious and Darth Tyrannus. This sort of power play, guiding a powerful victim against their will, is out of Palpatine's playbook. Palpatine cast Maul aside as his apprentice after failing and being cut in half by Obi Wan Kenobi. Her task would've been simple if it were Dooku, who killed her clan, but she sensed Palpatine was over him. Having Maul removed messed up her plans, so she was on the moon of Concordia sulking when Maul finally did show up again to draw in Kenobi and make him pay by watching his one true love die. She's one up on the Emperor. She is a smaller scale of the Senate, but only of a small faction. It is a formidable one, though. Palpatine could've more easily been overtaken at the time. He arrived with a small entourage. He shows up, punishes Maul and his brother, and leaves without incident. The Empire attacks a few of the Mandalorian-protected worlds, and Din is rescued by DeathWatch. Later, Maul returns again. She advises the DeathWatch Clans to follow Maul thinking the Sith will lead the Jedi and more with Darth Sidious to Mandalore. Ahsoka captures Maul, messing up her plans again. The clan splits up, and she creates The Children of the Watch, where she bides her time again. The Armorer forces Bo-Katan to betray the rules, demonstrating that there is only one rule - absolute subservient obedience to the cult leader. But this level of transgression makes the victim even more dependent upon the leader. The setting is similar to where Dooku offered Obi-Wan an alliance when we all know evil leaders don't share power. But the power dynamics are different here, so Bo-Katan accepts it even without any reasoning beyond subservience to the cult leader's authority. Removing a helmet can't be compared to slaughtering a temple full of younglings, and the fate of Mandalore is small-scale compared to the entire universe. But it's the same sort of idea.

The last 30 pages or so just BROKE me

[@khanburger3610]

What’s so cool about this book is, Mike Chen said he made it that this actually isn’t anakins first time meeting ventres and that his real first time was in the 2003 cartoon, and he framed this book around that show. There’s actually a bunch of Easter eggs of the 2003 cartoons in the book- and a great doctor who reference haha!

[@luskita1197]

That's definetly one of my favorite canon books

[@theunknownuser9609]

It's coming May 31 st in my country. Can't wait to read it. Been waiting since it was released in the US

[@sanderhoefsloot6852]

Starting Rising storm this week and I have just ordered catalyst and bloodline. The Aftermath series are my favorite so far!

[@matepolcz]

My favourite is Lost Stars, but the best is The Rising Storm in my view.

[@sanderhoefsloot6852]

@@matepolcz I also really liked Lost Stars! Rising Storm is incredible

[@jimideth]

I LOVE THE AFTERMATH TRILOGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rising storm is hella good. Catalyst is amazing (if you do TARKIN/CATALYST/ROGUE ONE it’s a cool Death Star trilogy). Bloodline is some wonderful leia writing with awesome characters and some great “state of the galaxy” content before force awakens. “Beware the HuttSlayer!!”

[@Verownicarg]

Ooooh you're in for a treat with The Rising Storm!

[@TobiasKober-kb7xw]

More stuff like this really fun to listen to an interesting

[@matepolcz]

I am currently watching all of Badonkagonk, except the parts where you talk about novels I have not read (Brotherhood, which I'll probably read this summer and Rebel Rising, which I'll maybe read next year before Andor S2).

[@jimideth]

Rebel Rising is soooo good! That’ll be a perfect time for that story. Some great Saw content too

[@sineaterdred1]

Oo, oo... Are you guys committing to a Star Wars book club? Cause I'm in 🖖👍😎

[@emilylewis5373]

[@darklorddysart]

Hey guys, relatively new to blindwave. Is this Bandonkagonk? I can’t seem to find that podcast anywhere 😢

[@LotRFanFilm]

Starting this book with essentially Anakin, Padmé, Obi-Wan, and Dex eating cake and ice cream was the best thing ever 😂

[@multicreativeartist6579]

How can I send you guys memes to review in your videos?

[@aerolitos0]

No mention to Kenobi's haircut?

[@tortugaleon]

I never realised how much I would enjoy something like this. Definitely inspires me to pick up reading again.
