As a special feature of The Fanbase Weekly podcast, the Fanbase Feature focuses on and celebrates a specific element of geek culture.

In this Fanbase Feature, The Fanbase Weekly co-host Bryant Dillon is joined by special guest Livio Ramondelli (artist, IDW’s Transformers / writer and artist – The Kill Lock) to participate in a thorough discussion regarding the Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005) official novelization by author Matthew Stover, with topics including how the novel enhances the plot of the film, how hearing the characters’ inner thoughts benefits characters like Anakin Skywalker, the author’s assertion that unrestrained capitalism led to the fall of the Republic, and more. (Beware: SPOILERS for Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith official novelization abound in this panel discussion!)

Cast members: Livio Ramondelli (artist, IDW’s Transformers / writer and artist – The Kill Lock) and Bryant Dillon (Fanbase Press President, writer – Something Animal, Identity Thief)
