Just Two -Not- Brothers Kenneth McNulty

On this episode, the boys cover Kristine Kathryn Rusch's 1996 epic: The New Rebellion. The story follows a devious plot devised by one Luke's former students, political turmoil on Coruscant and a smuggler epic that reads like a separate novel. "Any lesser man" would be lost in the plot threads but that's why we're here to talk you through it.

The featured drink this episode as part of our "spirits of the force" segment is the "Qui-Gon Gin-Singer" with the ingredients and beverage credits lying just beyond this link: https://www.liquor.com/recipes/qui-gon-gin-singer/.
