This is a very special sit-down interview with best-selling Star Wars author Charles Soule, going in-depth into the end of The High Republic and his latest novel, Trials of the Jedi ... all recorded live from his hotel lobby during Fan Expo Dallas last month.

Charles and I first spoke back in 2023 at Star Wars Celebration London and a LOT has happened in the past two years. We try to cover as much as possible, but just a note: this episode WILL contain major spoilers about Trials, but I will have a moment in the episode where I call out the spoiler section, right before the 34 minute mark.

I always walk away incredibly inspired by one of our chats. He was very generous with his time during a very busy weekend, and I am incredibly grateful for that.

Trials of the Jedi, the grand finale of the fantastic High Republic Initiative is out now, and I cannot recommend highly enough. It is antastic Star Wars storytelling by Charles, and the rest of Project Luminous.

To see what else Charles is working on, head to his website where there is SO much information and great stuff, including some killer store exclusives.

Star Wars Encyclopedia from DK Books is out and can be ordered now. My next book, The Star Wars Encyclopedia of Starfighters and Other Vehicles can be pre-ordered now, coming out this fall!

Next week is my sit-down interview with Charles Soule (returning!), as we dive into the end of The High Republic.
