In today’s episode, Wayne and I have a great time making fun of each other as I poke fun at Canada’s Junior Hockey team, and Wayne makes fun of my knowledge of Hockey and at how only six inches of snow can paralyze our community…Oh yeah, and we also discuss a novel, Rogue Planet by Greg Bear, and how this novel bridges the gap between The Phantom Menace and The Attack of the Clones.

We discuss at length the fascinating character development of Anakin Skywalker from boy to teenager, and how Mr. Bear has Anakin dealing with his tremendous power in the force and his responsibility of being the chosen one.  We discuss Tarkin and his slimy plans to farther his own ends.  We share our thoughts on the depth of Obi-Wan Kenobi and his issues at being the one who is training the chosen one.  We open up the question of when do the ends justify the means.  On top of all this, there is an assassin, a living planet, the biggest engine ever, tying in a future series, some football talk and so much more, so join us as we explore the galaxy one page at a time.

Thank you for listening, Jesse
