FINALLY. We’re actually READING something again. And it’s a real doozy. Splinter of the Mind’s Eye is kind of a trip, which you already know if you’re reading along with us. Join us for chapters 1-4 this week! This week’s Article From the Archives: Moss-hopper
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. This week’s Article From the Archives: AD-1S Modular Multi-Role Starfighter
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! This week’s Article From the Archives: Scalphunter Rifle
We are alive! Ben just got very very busy and this hiatus ended up being much longer than anticipated. And truthfully? It isn’t really over. This is just an interlude to remind everyone that we still exist. Also to talk about the freakin’ MANDALORIAN. But we’ll be back for real soon! This week’s Article From the Archives: Billibango
We’re finally leaving Haruun Kal for good, folks. And it feels good, but also kinda bad. We made some real memories here. Most of them are not good, but there were some good Mace-isms along the way. This week’s Article from the Archives: Sector Governance Decree
Mace-isms. We all love them. Unfortunately we’ve not had reason to fall back on them throughout the course of this book! But we spout some off anyway. Chapters 19-21 of Shatterpoint this week! This week’s Article from the Archives is the Archives itself!!!!: Celebratus Archive
In this installment of Obroa-skai Walkers, we find out that things on Haruun Kal are still bad, and they’re about to get worse! Next week, finish chapters 19-21. This week’s Article From the Archives: Pod Seventeen
This week, we finally encounter Jedi Master Depa Billaba. Depending on your point of view, that meeting might ~subvert your expectations~ a little bit. Hard to say. Chapters 10-13 of Shatterpoint this week! This week’s Article From the Archives: Rubindum
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. This week’s Article From the Archives: Shobquix Yards
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’s Article From the Archives: Brock Starsher
We’re back! After what feels like a millennium! Standard interlude fodder this week. Is this interlude just a repeat of our last one where we talked about The Phantom Menace and home releases a lot? Maybe. It’s hard to say. This week’s Article From the Archives: Water Cyc
We’re sad this week. Survivor’s Quest has, at long last, come to an end. But thankfully, this episode has a lot of good (well, good to us) jokes and we just laugh the pain away. We’ll be back in a few weeks! This week’s Article From the Archives: Talan Joben
In this penultimate episode of our jaunt through Survivor’s Quest, some big stuff happens this week! Formbi isn’t as trustworthy as we thought, Drask is way cooler than we thought, and Fel does a fight. This week’s Article From the Archives: Mant Buume
Finally! Some of our questions are answered! But not all of them. Not even close. There are still so many questions. You cannot believe how many questions remain unanswered. Anyway. Read chapters 20-23 for next week! This week’s Article From the Archives: Grand Avenue (Graith)
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… This week’s Article From the Archives: Daimanate starfighter
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! This week’s Article From the Archives: Quadronomic Fluxer
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! This week’s Article From the Archives: Rail detonator
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 celebrate The Phantom Menace the best way we know how: by kind of talking around it. But as far as business is concerned, the book we’re tackling this time around is Survivor’s Quest by Timothy Zahn! All the Luke and Mara feels. Read chapters 1-5 for next week! This week’s Article From the Archives: Bruthus
Well, loyal listeners, it’s here. The beginning is coming to an end. This week, we tackle the last few chapters of Heir to the Empire and look to the future. Does this book live up to the hype? We certainly think so. This week’s Article from the Archives: Shanko
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 week’s Article From the Archives: Samdew
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 week’s Article from the Archives: Grand Admiral Uniform
Our review of Heir to the Empire chapters 13-18 might be our best balance of content and goofs yet. We’ve hit the golden ratio and will almost definitely never find it again. This week also features new teen star Joruus C’baoth. Everyone hates him. This week’s Article from the Archives: Geddy
Does the name of Dooku’s clone have two Us or three Os? Not important. Heir to the Empire chapters 7-12! Ben is sick and the first random article this week was just too topical to pass up. This week’s Article From the Archives: Sinuses and Geng Salaban
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. This week’s Article From the Archives: Derec
Cole read Children of the Jedi (spoilers for that book/the Callista trilogy ahead), so Ben takes that opportunity to Callista-jack the conversation. Like mommy-jacking, but with Callista. It’s on-brand. This week’s Article from the Archives: Supa Fighter
This week is the end of the MedStar duology, and we’re all very sad. Fun fact: there are five distinct Jedi trials! Even the world’s two biggest Star Wars fans can learn things from time to time.
Space peanut allergies. Also everybody is intoxicated. Big things are happening on Drongar. For next week, finish the book, nerds!
This week: droid classes, typo hunting, and and spy guessing. Also Medstar II: Jedi Healer chapters 17-24.
Ben needs a nap. Also: snow? On Drongar? It’s more likely than you think.
We back! Trucking on through the MedStar duology and starting Jedi Healer this week! Chapters 1-8 as well as the short story “MedStar: Intermezzo.” NPR voices ahead. W O T E R
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): https://epdf.tips/medstar-intermezzo.html
