Continuing on through Triple Zero, all I have to say is that Walon Vau had better check himself. Chapters 3-6 this week. This week’s Article From the Archives: Vlassy Nature Preserve
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! This week’s Article From the Archives: Mon Casima
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. This week’s Article From the Archives: Tutti Snibit
You might’ve thought that you were free of both Shadows of the Empire AND us, but you’d be wrong on both counts. As we’ve promised for the last few weeks, we’re finally getting around to finishing up Shadows of the Empire! We read the comic and then played the game to make sure that we got the full experience. This week’s Article From the Archives: Wetyin
Guri is freed, Xizor makes an exit that is not nearly as dramatic as one would expect, and diamond-boron missiles! What more could you ask for from the conclusion of Shadows of the Empire? Well, aside from an episode of this podcast that doesn’t get interrupted by internet troubles. But we even have that this week! This week’s Article From the Archives: Dar’Or
Sigh. Texas strikes back. We were only able to get through our intro section and the first part of the reading this week. But we’ll be back to finish out Shadows of the Empire next week! This week’s Article From the Archives: Samar
I hear the Emperor has an eight-pack. I hear the Emperor is shredded. Honestly, as I type that the day after we recorded, I can’t remember why we said it. That must mean it’s a good episode, right? Topics also include: jade ops, moonglow, and Dash Ex Machina. For next week, finish the gosh-dang book! This week’s Article From the Archives: Undervector
Well. He’s done it. Xizor has finally turned into his most terrible final form. But we try to make it brief because it’s gross and uncomfortable to read for countless reasons. But thankfully chapters 22-28 aren’t TOTAL trash. This week’s Article From the Archives: Hayde Gofai
Xizor brings his awfulness to new heights, Dash does a booboo, and the first canonical appearance of Manny Bothans. Chapters 14-21 this week! This week’s Article From the Archives: F-24-AMTx
Shadows of the Empire keeps trucking along at its blazing-fast pace! And Xizor keeps being the worst interspersed with a few moments of him actually being kinda cool. This week’s Article From the Archives: Confederate First Fleet
What is there to say? We finally got this episode recorded. So have at it! This week’s Article From the Archives: S-DST
The internet is a rough place. Sometimes so rough Cole can’t even access it. What happened is that we got halfway through recording this ep and then Cole’s internet died. So have this half interlude kinda thing that we ended up with? Thank you for your time. This week’s Article From the Archives: Pouchfish
Take two seconds to think about the title of this interlude, and you’ll probably be able to 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? Also…………………… our final Narsh Watch segment. This week’s Article From the Archives: Bilios system
All good things must come to an end, and Hard Contact is no exception. We certainly enjoyed it, so hopefully you did too! See you in a few weeks with an interlude! This week’s Article From the Archives: Gengh-Noghri
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. This week’s Article From the Archives: Marmor
Okay, Cole just wants to talk about Hard Contact and Ben is INSISTENT on making side trips. Wookieepedia is both a blessing and a curse. But in his defense, someone was breaking into Ben’s house to take photos of his Ree-Yees figure. Cut him some slack and enjoy The Three Stooges: Clone Edition. This week’s Article From the Archives: Smilers
Hard Contact is getting pretty good, huh? We certainly think so. Chapters 5-8 this week! Also a LOT of talk of Z-95 Headhunters! This week’s Article From the Archives: Headhunter Two
Finally back at it! This week, we cover the Light of the Jedi excerpt (very good), Star Wars Squadrons (very good), and… Boshek, I guess. We also do our first on-air Wookieepedia audit, if that’s what it can be called. And eventually we get around to chapters 1-4 of Hard Contact. This week’s Article From the Archives: Voss Parck’s Cousin
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! This week’s Article From the Archives: Gordoon
OH MY GOD THE LAST COMMAND IS OVER AND I’M DYING. But it was really good, huh? We’re sad to see it go, but it just means we’re on to our next adventure! This week’s Article From the Archives: Massacre at Sooncanoo Beacon
ANNNYYWWAAAYYY. The penultimate episode of The Last Command is here! And with it comes maybe the weakest element of this whole trilogy? Make up your own mind for that one. Finish the book for next week! This week’s Article From the Archives: Wall of Remembrance
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. This week’s Article From the Archives: Deme Tryshyn
DELTA 👏🏻 SOURCE 👏🏻 We can FINALLY stop biting our tongues on that. Also… asteroids. They can be a real problem. This week’s Article From the Archives: Emperor’s Shield
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!!! This week’s Article From the Archives: Klar
As the title suggests, we’re still trucking through The Last Command this week. It’s been a minute since we’ve had a good cliffhanger, no? This week’s Article From the Archives: Task Force Quickfire
Okay, we caved. Due to popular listener demand and our own love for the Evil Blue Man, we’re reading chapters 1-4 of The Last Command this week! This week’s Article From the Archives: Bright Jewel Oversector
As interludes tend to be, this is one all over the place. Dawn of the Jedi? Too much Ahsoka? Too many Mandalores? The Black Fleet Crisis? All of this AND MORE. Also, we’re reading a little book called The Last Command by Timothy Zahn this time around. Read chapters 1-4. This week’s Article From the Archives: Mandalore the Conqueror
Whew. What a ride! Dark Force Rising finally comes to a head this week! This week’s Article From the Archives: Unidentified Coruscani Ogre
The penultimate chapter of our trek through Dark Force Rising! A lot of action this week, but not in the boring yada yada way. Fun times ahead! For next week, finish the book! This week’s Article From the Archives: Stennes
Technical issues abound! It’s just one of those weeks, I suppose. Our comeuppance for missing last week, maybe? I don’t know. Anyway. Chapters 14-17 of Dark Force Rising this week! This week’s Article From the Archives: Narol
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! This week’s Article From the Archives: Obroa-skai System
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! This week’s Article From the Archives: Laird Gustavu
This week, we read chapters 5-8 of Dark Force Rising, spend entirely too much time talking about The Old Republic, and lament the sheer time investment that reading the New Jedi Order will be for this podcast. This week’s Article(s) From the Archives: Deeb and 3959 BBY
Dark forces are rising!! We’re finally jumping back into the Thrawn trilogy with gusto! And of course we have to talk about Supernatural Encounters again. Can’t escape it. This week’s Article From the Archives: Eelen Li
Our adventure across Mimban comes to an exciting conclusion! Muppets! Tunnels! Crystals! Vader! Kamehameha!!!! For next week, read… some number of chapters from DARK FORCE RISING by Timothy Zahn! Look on Twitter (@ObroaSkaiPod) for d33ts. This week’s Article From the Archives: Godo
We’re just reading the B plot to a Han Solo adventure that is much better than this book. Okay, not really. This book is still good. It’s just fun to poke at. Chapters 5-8 of Splinter of the Mind’s Eye this week! This week’s Article From the Archives: Golandras
