We conclude our discussion of Alexander Freed’s Reign of Empire: Mask of Fear with a look at Bail Organa’s attempt to clear the name of the Jedi, Soujen’s quest for revenge, and more.
A couple of episodes ago, we began our discussion of Alexander Freed’s Reign of Empire: Mask of Fear. That episode primarily focused on Mon Mothma and her attempt to get the Imperial Rebirth Act passed as a check on Emperor Palpatine’s power. In this episode, we turn our attention to Bail Organa. The Senator from Alderaan is one of the few people that knows the truth behind the fall of the Jedi. Bail is driven to find the proof that will vindicate the truth and bring about the downfall of the Emperor. However, his goal and Mon’s aren’t necessarily compatible. We are wrapping up our discussion of this wonderful novel in this episode of Podcast Stardust, and we have a lot to get through.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Bail Organa’s attempt to bring down the Emperor by exposing the truth of the Jedi,
- How Bail’s mission differs from Mon Mothma’s goals,
- The Separtist contingency plan embodied by Soujen Vak Nhalis,
- Saw Gerrera’s presence in the novel,
- The absence of Darth Vader and other Force users, and
- The Century Plan and Center One.
