Welcome to a special episode of Tarkin's Top Shelf! Mark and Becca are joined by Michael Moreci to talk parallels. Yup, that's right! Parallels and the blurred lines between The Last Jedi and the novelization of Revenge of the Sith. It is a story of love and loss. Brotherhood and betrayal. Courage and sacrifice. And the death of dreams. It is a story of the blurred line between our best and our worst. It is the story of the end of an age. And you don't want to miss it! So as always, grab a warm mug of Luke's favorite green-milk and join the conversation.

Tarkin's Top Shelf #26: 'The Last Jedi' and The Brightest Light Casts the Darkest Shadow!
Welcome to another edition of Tarkin's Top Shelf! In this episode, Becca invites Ryder Waldron from Idiot's Array Podcast to join her in a thought-provoking discussion. They focus on a specific analogy from Matthew Stover's novel adaptation of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and how it ties-in with Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
After a bit of news coverage, they get right into their main topic, connecting the literary-verse to the big screen. They dive into an in-depth conversation on Matthew Stover's analogy, "The brightest light casts the darkest shadow."
That said, will this analogy show up in The Last Jedi? Is it already a theme? A curse the Skywalker bloodline carries over and over, generation to generation? The brighter the light, the darker the shadow? After all, you can't light a candle without casting a shadow.
