In light of a quiet Star Wars news week, we are taking a detour to review Kwame Mbalia’s The Last Order featuring Finn and Jannah as they hunt down a former First Order commander.
Ever wonder what drove Finn to leave the First Order? Did you ever consider what must have happened for Jannah’s division of stormtroopers to throw down their weapons and defy their First Order commanders? If so, then you will finally get some answers in The Last Order by Kwame Mbalia. After the Resistance victory on Exogol, a shuttle is recovered that contains abducted children destined for the First Order, Finn and Jannah, with some help from a volunteer of the Civilian Fleet, set out to track down an old, corrupt Major of the First Order. Along the way, the story turns to their final days with the First Order. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we are reviewing The Last Order and discussing just what it was like for Finn and Jannah before they defected.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Non-spoiler thoughts on this book as a whole,
- The setting and format of this book with a framing device featuring a new character,
- The back stories of Finn (aka FN-2187) and Jannah (TZ-1719),
- How this book connects to other Star Wars stories, and more.
