We're finally back after an impromptu break to talk about HARD MERCHANDISE. Why does Palpatine look like that? Who's reading "Heirs of the Force?" Is everything dead destined to forever stay that way? All of these questions and more this week! This week's Article From the Archives: Ringers Full show notes: https://notes.moseisley.xyz/s/q8ypPH9CH#

In a bit of a shorter episode this week, we open with some discussion of the upcoming 2027 release of A New Hope back into theaters and the relevant news from NYCC, including the new Kyle Katarn Black Series figure. But then it's finally time to catch up with our favorite bounty hunters and say good by to the thiccest spider the galaxy has ever known. This week's Article From the Archives: Narp Pi...

The hotly-anticipated return to THE BOUNTY HUNTER WARS by K.W. Jeter begins with the first four chapters of HARD MERCHANDISE. I was hotly anticipating it, anyway. And we've got a lot of catching up to do: Zuckuss and 4-LOM, Bossk, Neelah, Dengar, and of course, Boba Fett. But first: The Mask of Fear , sandtroopers, and albino hyenas.

Hello there! We've returned for yet another interlude, and this time around we're talking about what's going on with Star Wars movies in general, what happened to "the Edwards Cut" of Rogue One, what makes Lucasfilm get the ick from any given director, and a heretofore-unknown-to-us category of Wookieepedia article that answers SO many of our questions. This week's Article From the Archives: Cruth...

In what is likely to be the most frustrating ending ever to be covered on this podcast, we reach the finale of IMPERIAL COMMANDO: 501ST this week. Great book, great series, but tragically cut down in its prime. But we think the ride was worth the pain, and hopefully you all do as well. See you in a few weeks! This week's Article From the Archives: Kail Ranges Full show notes:  https://notes.moseis...

Our trip through the REPUBLIC COMMANDO series might be drawing to a close, but it ain't over yet! One of our minor characters takes a tragic left turn, another minor character makes an incredibly violent right turn, and a major character from something else makes an appearance and becomes yet another minor character in this book! Oh, and our favorite Clones and Mandos get up to their usual shenani...

Wouldn't you know it? Things end up just how we thought they might on Coruscant. They might be ever so slightly better, but not as good as they would be if everyone was where they were supposed to be. But life goes on! Holy Roly gets put in his place, Ny faces interrogation a la Null ARC, and Fi breaks our hearts. All of this and more in chapters 10–12 of 501ST: IMPERIAL COMMANDO. For next w...

In so many ways, it feels like we've truly hit the calm before the storm, dear library patrons. The extraction plan is in motion, and it's going FAR too smoothly for comfort. Also: there's a "crisis" on Gibad and a new Imperial commander that is absolutely going to be more trouble than he's worth. For next week, read chapters 10, 11, and 12. This week's Article From the Archives: Bakura Task Force...

Things keep trucking along, both on Coruscant and in Kyrimorut! That said, I'm uneasy. Everything seems to be going just a bit too smoothly. But first, we dig into Mando'a, Pammant, and… Star Wars: Club Penguin? Also, thanks to Josh for the email this week! If you want to be cool like Josh and send us an email, get at us over at obroaskaiwalkers@gmail.com . This week's Article From the Archives: D...

We did it! We can read! And things aren't too terribly sad yet, but all the ingredients are there: Darman and Niner are stuck with the Empire, Kyrimorut is going just a bit too well for comfort, and Ko Sai is... in a freezer? Next week: chapters 4-7! This week's Article From the Archives: H4b Full show notes: https://notes.moseisley.xyz/iSaSTs1eSlubHC26qjhpOw?view

Good. Lord.  Can you believe we disappeared for that long? It's honestly upsetting. But that's all behind us now. Hopefully you kept up on your Shadow Games reading? Obviously I kid! We're just happy to be back, so we jump right in and deliver our finest interlude in at least two years, and all jokes aside, potentially one of our longest ever. And for next week, read the first four chapters of IMP...

This might be the biggest Star Wars podcast ever recorded. That's probably hyperbole, but I don't even care because it certainly felt that way. We cover not one but TWO episodes of THE MANDALORIAN leading up to the season finale and of course everything that dropped at STAR WARS CELEBRATION. Excitement ensues! This week's Article From the Archives: Solaest Fleet

Happy Mandalorian Season 3 day everyone!!! Two episodes inside a week? How unlike us! But unfortunately this week's reading ends on what just might be the most painful cliffhanger that this show has ever had to endure. For next week, finish the book! This week's Article From the Archives: Unidentified Clone Trooper (Ventress Victim)

After a brief (and unintended) break, we've returned with the next set of chapters for ORDER 66. Anakin said that "this is where the fun begins," but I'm not feeling like things are actually going to be that fun. Also, we talked about Star Trek for the first 35 minutes. Sorry. This week's Article From the Archives: Venomator

Zey is side-eyeing Kal and the Nulls, the government is side-eyeing Besany (in a manner of speaking), and Darman gets some news and... reacts. This week's Article From the Archives: Edruu

Oof. This episode is late. Sorry about that. Just please do not blame Cole for my transgression. Anyway, I feel like I'm always writing that things are getting rough for our heroes in these books, but somehow things keep getting worse.  This week's Article From the Archives: Black Level

HELLO 2023!!! I don't know what that is as far as Stardates go, but that's only somewhat relevant on this episode. Trekkie nonsense aside, we're picking back up with the Omegas in ORDER 66 by Karen Traviss! I don't know about you, but I'm not ready. This week's Article From the Archives: Rocket grass

Surprise! We're back. Before we even thought we'd be, really. And we're all over the place! Hunting down weird out of place MIDI music, looking at a Star Wars fan zine from 40 years ago, a battle that MIGHT have something to do with Geroon, and way more Mandalorian season 3 speculation than I signed up for, personally. This week's Article From the Archives: Unidentified species (Vagaari) Link to F...

The end has finally come. The bouncers have lost their mind, the Thought Bomb is ready to detonate, and Bane is SO ready to be done with all of these idiots. Also: emails, Wookieepedia updates, and Mando/Jedi Survivor news! This week's Article From the Archives: Tregan

Ben finished Legacy of the Force: Bloodlines (spoilers end at about 46:30) and he is in PAIN. So naturally there is a lot of discussion about that since Andor talk happened on Skyhoppers this week. But then Darth Bane almost dies twice and sets his greater plans in motion (not necessarily in that order). This week's Article From the Archives: Dark Eye (EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate)

Acolyte news! Andor continues to be amazing! And Darth Bane is up to his usual Dark Side shenanigans and we love him for it for some reason.  This week's Article From the Archives: West Championne

In an effort to talk through some of our questions about Andor, we just end up with more questions. But we're only halfway through this season, so I'll allow it. We then discuss whether or not Bane is Big Stupid, how Githany is so stunningly beautiful that everyone forgets how to live, and another Zabrak with a double-bladed lightsaber that gets his ass handed to him. This week's Article From the...

This week "Des" finally finds his way to the Sith Academy and, well... kills somebody. I don't think anyone is shocked. BUT. It does lead to a lot of interesting characterization, which is what we're here for at the end of the day. Also ANDOR. The EYE!!! This week's Article From the Archives: Wistie language

We pick up with Bane--ER--I mean "Des" at a pretty rough spot in his life, but he decides he's gonna make the best of it. We also meet one of two good Neimoidians in the entire galaxy and learn the intricacies of this particular variant of Sabaac.  This week's Article From the Archives: Slickplast poster
