I don't know what or how to feel right now with some news I found out about a possible third book in the "Alex Stern" series by Leigh Bardugo. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/daniellesreadingnook/support

It's a busy show this month as Star Wars Volume 2 - Operation Starlight, Star Wars: The High Republic - Light of the Jedi & Star Wars: A Test of Courage all get reviewed. Plus, a plethora of book news that's sure to keep you busy for the rest of 2021 and beyond all on the April episode of Jedi Journals!

This week's show is all about rumors and the fans who love (and hate) them. We discuss secrecy versus leaks in the Internet age, Star Wars blogging as a form of journalism, and how to manage expectations now that the next movie era is upon us. Plus, new Episode VII rumors, book news, and your Force ghost feedback.

This week we tackle the Special Edition changes, including a surprising argument over whether it's important that Han shoots first. And Erik reveals the only Star Wars scene he fast forwards through -- and it's not from the prequels! We also cover book news, debunk an Abrams rumor, talk about reveals from SDCC, and more!

We have an official casting call, but what does it mean? Does this fit the EU or does it nail that coffin shut? Will we have a female lead? And if we will, why is that so controversial? Join us this week as we discuss this, book news, CEII announcements, and more!
