Description

Joined by Jeremy, we discuss the first in Brian Daley's Han Solo Adventures, Han Solo At Stars' End (1979). Topics include Daley's possible socialist sympathies, droid personhood and how Star Wars can't acknowledge it, and the nature of Han and Chewbacca's intense relationship. We were much higher on this one than the last book!

Content warnings include misogyny, racism, colonialism, US crimes in Southeast Asia, fatphobia, general physical violence.
