Welcome to Sky Talkers. Here are your hosts, Charlotte and Caitlin. Hello and welcome to Sky Talkers. I'm your host Charlotte. Hey everyone. I'm your other host, Caitlin. And welcome to this week's episode where we are finally getting to talk all about Tales of the Underworld, which was the latest in the anthology series, these little vignette stories. We had tales of

0:40.6

the Jedi, tales of the empire, and now we have tales of the underworld. And it's been out for a while,

0:46.4

but we've been a little busy. But we're here to talk about it now. It is funny because this

clear-cut genre exploration. I don't think that Tails is a clear-cut genre exploration,

1:50.5

but it is an exploration into a corner of Star Wars that I just don't think would have

stories whether you like them or you don't like they exist and it's so cool it's just and the way
