The Young Jedi Knights Club

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...

BONUS - The 5th Annual Lowie Awards

Roll out the red qashmel carpet—an upgrade from past questionable floor coverings—for the 5th Annual Lowie Awards, our gala named for a tall, kind-hearted beast not unlike Harry (of the Hendersons). We mark this quinquennial with a brand-new category alongside our usual slate of Star 'Wards, even eking out some worthy winners from the mid-aughties, a dry spell for the galaxy far, far away. Another Hapan landing!

409 - Legacy of the Force IX: Invincible

Like a Nightsister blood trail, we finally trace the Legacy of the Force to its grisly end, a brutal beatdown full of... corny, Young Jedi Knights-era wisecracks?? Raspy Jokester Barm lends a hand in landing the Shatterpoint technique on the novel's fault lines, from Denning's unnecessary horniness to the dialogue-deficient duel to the death. Stains and all, it was a blast to close the book on another BattleSun Odyssey... er... Star Wars saga!
