This week, we begin our jaunt through The Paradise Snare! We already have all the episodes for this book recorded, so I can assure you that in the next episode (or the one after?) we actually write up a plot summary so there's less "uhhhh what happened next?" Don't worry. It gets better. (Still no intro or logo. Sorry about that.)

Yeah, we know this our first episode and that we've already screwed up. We forgot to mention which book we're reading!!! What fools. We promise this episode is better than this major goof makes it out to be. The book we've chosen is the first book in the Han Solo Trilogy: The Paradise Snare by A.C. Crispin! Make sure you read through chapter four before the next episode comes out!

This one's a doozy, folks! I'm not even quite sure how it got so long. We must've spent a little too long giving our "brief" Mando finale impressions. But when we finally do get to the book discussion for this week, we're discussing the short story "Omega Squad: Targets", and then the prologue through chapter 2 of Republic Commando: Triple Zero!

Everything happens so much all the time. Yessss, technically this a Legends podcast, but you can't have seriously expected us to not talk about everything that came out of the Disney investor call last week. It was just never going to happen that way. But! You know what IS Legends? TRIPLE ZERO by Karen Traviss! Read the short story in the back of the book titled "Omega Squad: Targets," and then the prologue through chapter 2.

OSW Interlude 15: Self-Aware Hypocrites
Obroa-skai Walkers
You can probably divine that we're reading SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE by Steve Perry this time around! We're also talking about collecting a lot? So that's a fun direction the podcast is going. Topics include big box Star Wars PC games, the West End RPG (yes, again), and the possibility of doing comics in the future! A busy episode, but would you expect anything else from us at this point?

OSW Interlude 13: No Pheremones Required
Obroa-skai Walkers
The first half of the show is pretty one-sided, if we're being honest. Ben basically talks about topics HE wants to talk about and Cole is gracious enough to let him tire himself out. What a great guy. Please read chapters 13-16 of Hard Contact before listening to this one, and finish the book before listening to the next one.

We're back! It's been too long. Lots of nonsense on this one. Some Mandalorian, some Boba Fett, some FACPOV TESB edition, some Star Wars Squadrons, and of COURSE some New Jedi Order. Our next book is Republic Commando: Hard Contact by Karen Traviss, and we're reading chapters 1-4!

I know I keep saying that this is when it's starting to get real, but library patrons... its really starting to get real now. All of the chess pieces are moving independently and reaching the same conclusions and honestly it's a little creepy in that Tim Zahn kinda way, but that's why we love it. Also... RIP Ferrier. Also. Are you digging the new episode title format? We're too funny to not do it this way now, I think.

Coming to you LIVE from SmugglerCon 2020 with your regularly-scheduled dose of Star Wars home release discussion! But not too much this week. Instead, we talk about what you ACTUALLY came to hear, which is chapters 10 through 13 of The Last Command! It's getting REAL now!!!

The summary of this week's non-book summary discussion could basically be summed up as "we talked about Dave Filoni way more than we should've." Also: Project Luminous... what is it? We certainly don't know. But you do by the time you're hearing this! Funny how that works. Chapters 18-22 of Dark Force Rising this week!

At a base level, we talk about chapters 9-13 of Dark Force Rising. On either side of that discussion, however, it's kinda all over the place. But would you expect anything else from us at this point? Touching on the Sequel Trilogy, reboots, rumors, and then the New Jedi Order after the book discussion. Wild stuff. Chapters 14-17 for next week!

In our final interlude before we do another interlude in a few weeks, we're joined by loyal listener and friend of the show Dakota to unpack The Rise of Skywalker! There's a lot to talk about, obviously, so I won't get into it too much in this description. Yes, we know it isn't Legends. Just listen.

Wow. Our second interlude in a row? (Spoiler alert: the next episode is gonna be an interlude too because I hear a Skywalker is gonna rise.) But we're actually ready to come back for real this time: our next book is Splinter of the Mind's Eye by Alan Dean Foster! Read the first four chapters sometime before New Year's Eve!

Stover really keeps the hits coming this week, not that anyone really expected him to stop. This book just keeps getting better despite all of the bad stuff though!! Or maybe because of it?? Either way, it leaves us well and truly forked.

Fresh off of our accidental hiatus from last week, we're finally ready to jump into chapters 1-5 of Shatterpoint by Matthew Stover! This book is... a lot, to say the least. "Graphic" only gets part of the way there, at least by Star Wars standards. But it's good all the same, and we hope you'll follow along on our journey across Haruun Kal!

This week is OSW... After Dark. Meaning we're recording MUCH later than normal. I didn't get to go to sleep til like 1:30am. But anyway, we talked about the next segment of Survivor's Quest! Strange things are afoot on the ruins of Outbound Flight...

Continuing our journey through Survivor's Quest by Timothy Zahn, we open the episode dicussing some of the pros and cons of both Legends and Canon. It might come across as ragging on Canon a little hard, but we both love it. Really. We promise. We also touch on the first new Legends content we've gotten in years!!! Make sure to read chapters 11-15 for next week!

Yes, I know we just finished a Timothy Zahn book. But we're jumping forward about 20 years in the timeline, so this should be sufficiently different. How are Luke and Mara so perfect for each other? Also why are we talking about Master and Apprentice? Chapters 1-5 of Survivor's Quest this week!

WE BACK. It feels like it's been forever, but it's only been like three weeks. Get off of our backs. We take an oddly deep dive on different edits/versions of A New Hope and the OT in general, Cole is sweating, drop some challenging opinions regarding Revenge of the Sith, and celebration The Phantom Menace the best way we know how: by kind of talking around it.

OSW Interlude 6: ...The Phantom Menace?
Obroa-skai Walkers
Well. This episode isn't two hours long, but it isn't too far off. Why are we so insistent on playing pretend in this wide and wonderful Star Wars universe? It makes these episodes go much longer than they need too. Anyway, this week, Karrde is still in trouble, and Mara wakes up for once. Chapters 24-27 of Heir to the Empire! For next week, finish the book!

This one is another doozy of an episode. But since Celebration happened, you KNOW we had to talk about that some. There was just no getting around it. Thankfully, however, we do discuss chapters 19-23 of Heir to the Empire as well. For next week, chapters 24-27!

This episode is uhhhhh kind of a doozy. Like REALLY a doozy. We started talking about the Article From the Archives and then fell down multiple rabbit holes and then had to talk about HEIR TO THE EMPIRE CHAPTER 1-6 and almost two hours later we finally called it. BUT. This episode is worth the running time. And who knows? Some of you probably like long episodes.

The Prequels had some rough dialogue, huh? Thankfully we don't actually talk about that very long. For next week, read chapters 1-8 of MedStar II: Jedi Healer by Michael Reaves and Steve Perry! But not before you read the short story "MedStar Intermezzo," which takes place between the two books. You can find it here (legally and safely): epdf.tips/medstar-intermezzo.h…

This week on Obroa-Skai Walkers, we say goodbye to the podcast. This is the last one.

Not really. That's just a dumb joke from the end. This is more than just a simple interlude! This week's episode exists to tell you that our next book (starting next week) is KENOBI by John Jackson Miller! Make sure to read up through chapter seven before then!
