Legends Lookback

Crank up your time machines as we blast back to 2005 as we revisit Revenge of the Sith for its 20th anniversary. We're joined by Youtini writer Gea Haff for a mythological breakdown of this beloved film. We talk about our experiences of first seeing the film, the joy of returning to the theater for a revisit, and of course Legends recommendations that enrich the story.

We're gearing up for a fantastic fan convention—Legends Expo! Joining us are two of the event's organizers, Katherine and Corinthia. They're here to tell us all about this event and why Legends fans should attend. We not only talk about the convention, our love for the Star Wars EU, but cosplay, our favorite authors, and of course hot tubs. Get your tickets to Legends Expo while you can still snag the earlybird discount! Visit legends-expo.com [http://legends-expo.com/] to get tickets. Legends Expo will be September 13th and 14th in Burbank, CA. We'll be there and we hope to meet many of our legendary listners!

With the recent release of her Disney Legacy saber, we're dedicating this show to none other than George Lucas's favorite female Jedi—Mara Jade. We talk about what makes such an iconic and beloved character, discuss possibilities of reintroducing her to Canon, and highlight our favorite moments and stories with the character over the years. https://youtini.com/article/mara-jade-skywalker-receives-an-official-legacy-lightsaber [https://youtini.com/article/mara-jade-skywalker-receives-an-official-legacy-lightsaber] https://youtini.com/article/mara-jade-the-complete-guide-to-star- [https://youtini.com/article/mara-jade-the-complete-guide-to-star-wars-most-iconic-legends-character] wars-most-iconic-legends-character [https://youtini.com/article/mara-jade-the-complete-guide-to-star-wars-most-iconic-legends-character] https://youtini.com/article/mara-jade-reading-guide-10-essential-books-for-star-wars-legends-fans [https://youtini.com/article/mara-jade-reading-guide-10-essential-books-for-star-wars-legends-fans]

A brand-new, highly-anticipated Star Wars comic is releasing—Jedi Knights #1 written by Marc Gugenheim with art from Madibek Musabekov. Featuring an ensemble cast of Jedi set before the Phantom Menace, it’s a love letter to lightsabers and the Prequel-era Jedi like we haven’t seen before in recent Star Wars storytelling. We’re riding that wave of excitement all the way back to a bygone era we know and love as “Star Wars Legends” for a chat about our favorite Star Wars warrior monks.

Our conquest of the New Jedi Order series marches on with another of the hardcover flagship titles, Destiny's Way. A major turning point of the series, Destiny's Way has us debating some philosophical conundrums ranging from Jedi involvement in politics, genocide, to the nature of the Force itself. This book really brought out some thought-provoking conversation and we can't wait to hear your thoughts!
