501 - Fate of the Jedi I: Outcast

501 - Fate of the Jedi I: Outcast

The presumed dead Eric Ambler resurfaces for the Creamsicle-coded kickoff to Fate of the Jedi! Conspire with our Darkmeld as we speculate that Star Wars is entering its old-man era, wonder if we're too young to be harping about the good old days, and discover how this low-key kick-ass adventure seemingly sets the table for less doom and more mystery, leaving us cautiously optimistic for the rest of the series.

BONUS - Millennium Falcon

Punching in the coordinates for an unexpected detour, John Parton joins us aboard the Millennium Falcon in a real barrel of taurill that makes the jump through the freighter's offbeat ownership history and straight into a Black Hole of tangents. We bounce between topics faster than a bat-falcon and could have kept talking for a millennium, while asking how the frip James Luceno turned a book about a spaceship into Absolute Literature.

BONUS - The Phantom Menace: The Most Special Commentary Edition

For a Special Edition, this Episode I commentary features... shockingly few suggested upgrades. Our own circular council we will keep on what is to be changed! We mostly just sit in awe of perfection, occasionally borrowing from both junior and "senior" novelizations while pitching AI to undo that unacceptable "shot on film" look. By the end, a communications disruption leaves us speaking entirely in Ben Burtt podracer noises.

410 - Legacy of the Force Retrospective

L'Eggo my Legacy of the Force! As we finally let go of the Darth Caedus era, we find ourselves longing to flow-walk back in time, replace our younger selves, and send them forward just to avoid this whole karking series altogether. Just kidding… mostly. Hear us rank the sacrosanctity of these Jedi texts that, to their credit, somehow rekindled a tolerance for Boba Fett we haven't felt since adolescence. It's a Tax Day miracle!

BONUS - Jedi Apprentice: The Rising Force & The Dark Rival

Grok, generate the podcast equivalent of a film maudit... Jack into your datapads, listeners. Our Menace Era has begun. Instead of moving forward as promised, we pivot back to the Prequel-adjacent Jedi Apprentice series! The biggest menace we know, Eric Wheeler, enrolls with us for a peek into Obi-Wan's early school days. It's a wayside return to Young Jedi Knights vibes as this book club gets a little stranger...
