Welcome to episode 65 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: The Novel Bracket Part II. On this episode, Dennis, Jay, and Darth Taxus conclude the quest to determine the best Star Wars novel of the new canon. As usual, there is some news to get to first.

The Future of Star Wars in the News

Current Star Wars concerns the future of Star Wars on the big screen and the organizational structure at Lucasfilm. Bob Iger commented on the frequency of the release of Star Wars films and Kathleen Kennedy signed a new deal to remain the President of Lucasfilm. Next, Jon Favreau finally released the name and a brief synopsis of his live action Star Wars television show and the Scoundrels react. Plus, there is news about Vader Immortal and a producing legend passes away.

Hyperthetical - The Novel Bracket Part II

After the news, the Scoundrels begin part II of their discussion to determine the best novel of the new Star Wars canon. If you haven't heard Part I, we recommend checking that out first. This episodes begins with round two and ends with the naming of a champion. Returning for the discussion are Jay Shepard from jedijournalsnews.asp">Jedi Journals,  Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Case Files, Green Justice, and Scarlet Velocity, and Becca Benjamin from Kanata's Castle and Tarkin's Top Shelf.

As every episode does, episode 65 ends with "Silence Fools!" In this edition, Dennis, Jay, and Taxus react to an iTunes review and then discuss the results of the last Twitter poll. Afterwards, they propose a new poll about what new Star Wars content they are most excited to see.
