AndresHOST
So the book feels like Wedge is giving you pieces of a Lego, right? And then Chapter 15 is like, now we're going to put it all together and guide you through this operation.
AndresHOST
And that operation was not previously known in the Galactic Civil War, but it also provides a storyline that highlights how the Resistance rebuilt after the Battle of Crait.
AndresHOST
So how did you balance the historical nature of the book and Wedge just wanting to take you through a campaign with the opportunity to really expand and flesh out the canon in two completely different eras?
Chris KempshallGUEST
So the underlying aspect of this, and it was also like an underlying aspect of wanting to do the book in the first place, is that myself and my editor at DK, David Fentiman, have a tremendous love for the old X-Wing and TIE Fighter computer games.
Dominic JonesHOST
Tatooine, Tatooine Hoth, Endor, Jakku, because it's easy.
Dominic JonesHOST
Whatever the one from the beginning of Rise of Skywalker is in Crait.
Dominic JonesHOST
Then maybe Scarif for Rogue One.
Dominic JonesHOST
Uh, maybe something from Ahsoka season two, just to like appeal to Dave Filoni.

Halls BurkhartHOST
helps.
Halls BurkhartHOST
It helps a lot because even on planets that you are familiar with, like they start mixing in Crait in the second act, but you go back to the other planets too, but you'll be doing like, reverse course so like one of the races you did before but backwards basically you're not driving backwards but just you know the reverse of the track and stuff so even on a map you would normally be kind of familiar with it's it's different you got to kind of learn it it's pretty interesting um also the random element of like what kind of races and events you're gonna get each new tour um plays a big one for me um and then you know just sort of building out your Your racer.
Halls BurkhartHOST
Getting your build set up.
Halls BurkhartHOST
It's got a bit of a Slay the Spire vibe like that, right? Slay the Spire is not a racing game, but it's a roguelike.
AnnaHOST
And it is bad news all around because then DJ cuts the deal with the First Order and gives them the intel on what happened.
AnnaHOST
the Resistance is doing, which is that Holdo is going to keep flying the cruiser to distract the First Order while all of these cloaked transports land on the mineral planet of Crait, which used to have a rebel base.
AnnaHOST
So all hope seems lost, especially in the throne room, because Snoke uses the Force to drop Rey to her knees and hold her there so that Kylo can kill her and complete his training and fall to the dark.
AnnaHOST
And Snoke is like luxuriating in this moment.
AnnaHOST
And then they skid out of there to land on Crate and join the six remaining resistance pods that survived being picked off like flies.
AnnaHOST
It was really hard to watch.
AnnaHOST
So Crait is this little salt planet that has a long abandoned rebel base in a deep, deep mine.
AnnaHOST
It's also home of the salt foxes, which are my OTP, my one great love.
Ken NapzokHOST
That's just, yeah, that's some good old tension.
Ken NapzokHOST
Luke's arrival in the battle on Crait.
Ken NapzokHOST
Yeah, I was just reviewing that one today based on a conversation we had that's coming out Wednesday.
Ken NapzokHOST
And yeah, just the Crait is a sequence.
Ken NapzokHOST
And I feel that Ryan...
Ken NapzokHOST
Because he was our age playing with toys and going to the movies.
SilverPANELIST
Um, so yeah, I have a lot of very positive things and impression.
SilverPANELIST
And the, the racetracks are beautiful, um, like racing on Crait with the red dust, um, on, on Jakku with the Star Destroyer wrecks and, and all of that.
SilverPANELIST
It, it all looks gorgeous.
SilverPANELIST
Um-
ChadGUEST
Then you can...
ChadGUEST
Like right now, right now, uh, Crait's on the, on the screen.
ChadGUEST
Crait is fun.
Chris AbbottGUEST
Oh, this looked, this blew my mind.
Chris AbbottGUEST
I didn't even know this was-
ChadGUEST
Crait-
Chris AbbottGUEST
...
Chris AbbottGUEST
in the game until I played it on big screen
Taylor FieldGUEST
...
Taylor FieldGUEST
in Last Jedi, those speeders they had on that red, white sand planet Crait? It was like-
Dylan MussHOST
Oh, yes, I can picture that.
Dylan MussHOST
Yeah.
17 MINS LATER
Taylor FieldGUEST
Um, and then yeah, there's corrosion from acid.
Taylor FieldGUEST
There's lava which will just charge up and overheat your engines really, really fast, so you gotta pay attention to that.
Taylor FieldGUEST
Um, and then when you're on Crait, that's actually a cool dynamic because the red dust that flares up from behind ships gliding over the ground, if you're directly behind that, it'll fuck your engine up and slow you down.
Dylan MussHOST
[laughs]
Brendan FoleyHOST
Mm-hmm
Brendan AgnewHOST
... and it's just a huge salt flat, and it's, it's literally like going down to Crait from The Last Jedi, you know? I even did the thing where I, like, touched the ground.
Brendan AgnewHOST
I was like, "Yeah, it's salt." And, like, the, the reason we there, we were there is, like, there was just a bunch of, like, crystals that Marion was interested in digging up, and, you know, she went crystal digging.
Brendan AgnewHOST
But then we were staying at a hotel just trying to, you know, pass some time, and we were channel surfing 'cause they didn't have any streaming stuff.
