| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Star Wars stuff podcast where we talk about all things Star Wars. I am James and today I'm going to be by myself. I'm doing a quick book review of Queen Shadow. It came out last week and it's written by E.K. Johnson, who's also written a few of another book of Star Wars, which was Star Wars Asoka, which is a very, very popular book. |
| 0:22.4 | And so she wrote this one called Queen Shadow. |
| 0:25.6 | And this takes place between episode one and episode two. |
| 0:30.6 | I was a little iffy of the timeline, because I remember I thought it was going to be afterward. |
| 0:36.3 | I don't know. |
| 0:37.0 | But yeah, it takes place between |
| 0:38.1 | episode one and episode two, and it begins with the beginnings of the new queen coming in |
| 0:45.6 | after Amadala. And it's very interesting to see the politics and how the politics worked |
| 0:51.5 | on Nabu, and to see how the hierarchy is there on Nabu. |
| 0:57.7 | And so that's where it starts off. And we get a good look at her handmaidens who you see in |

| 1:13.6 | and a lot of the story is you know with them and her together and it's it's a fairly interesting |
| 1:20.9 | look at it and the the politics that was going on around there and it was it was what i wasn't what I was expecting, but I still really, really enjoyed the book. |
| 1:31.1 | And like I said, it starts off with her, you know, the swearing-in of the new queen, |
| 1:36.5 | and she's then asked to stay on as senator, which is where we see her at the beginning of episode two. |
| 1:41.0 | So it, you know, kind of does a really good job of segueing into that. And we see |
| 1:46.3 | the behind the scenes of the queen's life, which was really interesting, in my opinion. I know |
| 1:53.9 | most people, whenever they saw episode one, you immediately were amazed at the costumes that she |
| 1:59.0 | wears, the Queen Amadala wears, and how many times she |
| 2:02.8 | changes them. And this book, very interestingly, goes into detail about those costumes, goes into |
| 2:09.0 | detail about, like, the functions of them, and the fact that a lot of them are bulletproof, and |
