How far away is too far away for it to cease being part of the galaxy far far away?

It finally happened! An episode so chock full of Star Wars-y goodness, we split it in two! Join Alex, Davis, and Jesse as they read the comic book version of The Empire Strikes Back, and a bunch more comic book storylines that MAYYYYBE aren't quite as big-budget as the movie? And what do we think about the idea of a Pre-Legends Proto-Canon? Excitin…

Restructured, relaid, and recolored, join Alex, Davis, and Jesse as they tackle some of the wildest and most interesting Star Wars storytelling we've seen so far!

We're back with a big chunky boy filled with some of the most recognizable names in the Marvel stable, a cyborg bounty hunter with more self hate than Darth Vader, and, you know, three hours of good meaty book club discussion with Alex, Davis, and Jesse as they dig into Star Wars: The Original Marvel Years Vol. 2!…

You've read the book, now watch the film! It's the second half of a double dose of Empire-y goodness, now with Irvin Kershner in the mix, and a movie that looks like it was made by someone with some years under their belt! But is this REALLY one of the greatest films of ALL TIME? And what does it have to say about Star Wars as a whole? Join Alex, D…

Before the movie...there was the official novelization!

The second Han Solo adventure is way different from the first one! Is that good? Maybe! Is that bad? Probably not! Is Chewbacca so far gone in the head that he doesn't realize what he's done?

By now Star Wars is a bonafide hit, so what happens when corporate interests start using it for quick cash-ins rather than pulp storytelling? We'd tell you, but it's all in shyriiwook! Join Alex, Davis, and Jesse for a in-depth discussion of the Star Wars Holiday Special.Star Wars: Old Canon Book Club による

Before Star Wars was a worldwide hit, George Lucas inked a deal with his ghostwriter for a print-only back up sequel, just in case the movie was a flop! Alex, Davis, and Jesse read Splinter of the Mind's Eye, a strange book that occupies a space between canon and an alternate universe!Star Wars: Old Canon Book Club による

The movie that started it all...but for the first time in a long time, we're watching it through the lens of someone seeing it for the first time. Is it possible to capture the feeling people in 1977 felt when there had never been anything like this before? Alex, Davis, and Jesse continue their march through old Star Wars canon with an original cut…

On April 15, 2014, outside of the movies and TV show, Disney rebooted the Star Wars universe, wiping out almost 40 years of characters, continuity, and culture. Now, internet microphone talkers Jesse Cox, Michael Davis, and Alex Faciane step back across the ages to re-experience that other galaxy, frozen in time far far away, just like they did bac…

This might be the biggest Star Wars podcast ever recorded. That's probably hyperbole, but I don't even care because it certainly felt that way. We cover not one but TWO episodes of THE MANDALORIAN leading up to the season finale and of course everything that dropped at STAR WARS CELEBRATION. Excitement ensues! This week's Article From the Archives:…
  continue reading
 
Happy Mandalorian Season 3 day everyone!!! Two episodes inside a week? How unlike us! But unfortunately this week's reading ends on what just might be the most painful cliffhanger that this show has ever had to endure. For next week, finish the book! This week's Article From the Archives: Unidentified Clone Trooper (Ventress Victim)…

After a brief (and unintended) break, we've returned with the next set of chapters for ORDER 66. Anakin said that "this is where the fun begins," but I'm not feeling like things are actually going to be that fun. Also, we talked about Star Trek for the first 35 minutes. Sorry. This week's Article From the Archives: Venomator…
  continue reading
 
Oof. This episode is late. Sorry about that. Just please do not blame Cole for my transgression. Anyway, I feel like I'm always writing that things are getting rough for our heroes in these books, but somehow things keep getting worse. This week's Article From the Archives: Black LevelObroa-skai Walkers による

HELLO 2023!!! I don't know what that is as far as Stardates go, but that's only somewhat relevant on this episode. Trekkie nonsense aside, we're picking back up with the Omegas in ORDER 66 by Karen Traviss! I don't know about you, but I'm not ready. This week's Article From the Archives: Rocket grass…
  continue reading
 
Surprise! We're back. Before we even thought we'd be, really. And we're all over the place! Hunting down weird out of place MIDI music, looking at a Star Wars fan zine from 40 years ago, a battle that MIGHT have something to do with Geroon, and way more Mandalorian season 3 speculation than I signed up for, personally. This week's Article From the …

The end has finally come. The bouncers have lost their mind, the Thought Bomb is ready to detonate, and Bane is SO ready to be done with all of these idiots. Also: emails, Wookieepedia updates, and Mando/Jedi Survivor news! This week's Article From the Archives: TreganObroa-skai Walkers による

Ben finished Legacy of the Force: Bloodlines (spoilers end at about 46:30) and he is in PAIN. So naturally there is a lot of discussion about that since Andor talk happened on Skyhoppers this week. But then Darth Bane almost dies twice and sets his greater plans in motion (not necessarily in that order). This week's Article From the Archives: Dark …
  continue reading
 
In an effort to talk through some of our questions about Andor, we just end up with more questions. But we're only halfway through this season, so I'll allow it. We then discuss whether or not Bane is Big Stupid, how Githany is so stunningly beautiful that everyone forgets how to live, and another Zabrak with a double-bladed lightsaber that gets hi…

This week "Des" finally finds his way to the Sith Academy and, well... kills somebody. I don't think anyone is shocked. BUT. It does lead to a lot of interesting characterization, which is what we're here for at the end of the day. Also ANDOR. The EYE!!! This week's Article From the Archives: Wistie language…
  continue reading
 
We pick up with Bane--ER--I mean "Des" at a pretty rough spot in his life, but he decides he's gonna make the best of it. We also meet one of two good Neimoidians in the entire galaxy and learn the intricacies of this particular variant of Sabaac. This week's Article From the Archives: Slickplast poster…
  continue reading
 
We haven't recorded since Andor has come out, so we understanadbly spend a lot of time talking about ancient Imperial advisors and AK-47s. For next week, read chapters 1-6 of DARTH BANE: PATH OF DESTRUCTION by Drew Karpyshyn! This week's Article From the Archives: Endurance-class fleet carrierObroa-skai Walkers による
  continue reading
 
To wrap up our coverage of SLAVE SHIP by K.W. Jeter, Bossk makes the foolish mistake of thinking an author would let him be smarter than Boba Fett, some of Neelah's background gets revealed, and Kuat of Kuat cracks open a cold one. This week's Article From the Archives: Nuna drumsticksObroa-skai Walkers による
  continue reading
 
After some speculation about the inner workings of the Star Wars video game industrial complex, we get into some Andor #hype and then into the first four chapters of SLAVE SHIP. Jeter can do no wrong! This week's Article From the Archives: Levi SchoenObroa-skai Walkers による

If you're looking to skip the Legacy of the Force: Betrayal spoilers, skip to here: 1:18:40 We've got an interlude! We've got Shadows of the Sith! We've got an email! We've got three months of tiny news blurbs in the span of 45 minutes! It's good to be back, friends <3 Read chapters 1-4 of SLAVE SHIP by K.W. Jeter for next week! This week's Article…

This will be a long remembered. It has seen the end of Kenobi, and it will soon see the end of True Colors, the latter of which will leave our heroes in the best spot we've seen them in to date... right? Also inside: Emails! Kenobi! Custom figures! This one's got it all! This week's Article From the Archives: Imperial Corps of Bioengineers…
  continue reading
 
Sorry, Kenobi isn't Legends but come on... how are we supposed to NOT talk about last week's episode at least for a bit? We're excited to see where things go from here! And for once, everything isn't totally doom and gloom in True Colors world! Just mostly doom and gloom as things tend to be for our plucky RCs and company these days. This week's Ar…
  continue reading
 
After a full 45 minutes of Kenobi discussion and speculation and then a completely logical progression of the discussion into Crimson Empire, we're covering a VERY important set of three chapters from True Colors. Don't even know what's happening here. This week's Article From the Archives: Crimson Empire III: Empire Lost 6…
  continue reading
 
At this point I'm done saying that these are getting rough for our cast of heroes (and Walon Vau). Things are ALWAYS rough for these folks. But before things get bad, we discuss Celebration, Kenobi clips, and... Barbara Hambly? This week's Article From the Archives: Ersheg Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library…

WOW. Two weeks without an episode? Unacceptable. Please forgive us. But we're back now, and things are getting a little weird for our little clone buddies. This week's Article From the Archives: Sarliss Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends LibraryObroa-skai Walkers による
  continue reading
 
Okay everyone, we're sorry about last week. Somehow we both read the wrong book. True Colors has nothing to do with the Glove of Darth Vader after all! And I think it's made much better for it. Chapter 1 and "Odds" this week! This week's Article From the Archives: Zeller Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library…
  continue reading
 
Ben is reading The New Rebellion! Obi-Wan had a trailer! New editions of Legends books are coming! We also discuss the fact that Star Wars fans left to their own devices can get a little... antsy. And we're reading TRUE COLORS by Karen Traviss! Read the short story "Odds" and up through chapter 1 for next week! This week's Article From the Archives…
