Albert and Lauren welcome best selling author, Adam Christopher, back to the show to talk about his most recent novel, Master of Evil. Would Goth have joined the rebels had he lived? Was the shaman following the dark, the light, or neither? Was it “Anakin” who helped Appo and why? Did Vader consider taking on a new apprentice with Enoosha or was he simply having a “I can feel your anger” moment? We get answers from Adam on all of this and more!
