Ben and Cole move through the Star Wars Legends timeline as they see fit! There's assigned reading each week, and every episode covers that week's reading. Simple, right? There are plenty of Star Wars-related tangents along the way, so make sure to listen even if you haven't read!
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.

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 …
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 c…
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!

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 gu…
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 t…
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!

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 w…
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…
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!

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 we…
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 co…
DELTA 👏🏻 SOURCE 👏🏻 We can FINALLY stop biting our tongues on that. Also... asteroids. They can be a real problem.

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, wh…
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?

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!

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 calle…
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!
