Welcome to this special episode of Legends and Lore. This is a special audio drama I created a few years back. I touched it up and made it presentable for release on this feed. Some of you may remember the official audio dramas that were released for Dark Forces and Jedi Knight.

Look for part 2, and a new episode of Legends and Lore next week.
