We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar

Arts EN ↓ 31 episodes

Join two queer 30-somethings every two weeks as they read (and occasionally watch) the Star Wars Legends oeuvre in publication order! They discuss the merits of the old extended universe and enjoy (or don't enjoy!) these pulpy sci-fi novels. And, eventually, they will talk about Dash Rendar. (We Need To Talk About Dash Rendar is our mirror-universe podcast, about a different franchise. We don't know why they picked that name.)

You Need A Damn Plumber! (Han Solo's Revenge) 25.08.2025 1:49:40

Your hosts Hobart Floyt and Alacrity Fitzhugh are back with the second of Brian Daley's Han Solo novels, Han Solo's Revenge . Hey it's another pretty good one! This week we discuss clowns, Revolver Ocelot, Pluto (surprise!) and pterosaur anatomy. You'll also learn the difference between Repo Man and Repo Men . Note to astute listeners: We recorded this episode on June 8th, shortly...

A Meat-Eatin' Rocket-Ridin' Rabbit Ta You! (Star Wars Omnibus A Long Time Ago... Vol 1) 11.08.2025 1:54:27

In this episode of We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar, hosts Jazx and Bubsee read Star Wars Omnibus: A Long Time Ago… Volume 1 (not to be confused with Star Wars: A Long Time Ago… Volume 1 ), which collects the first 27 issues of the original Star Wars Marvel Comics (also referred to as Star Wars (1977)) . Not a bad collection! We go for Apostle Paul's throat for absolutely no reason (besides t...

To Destroy Is To Serve, Exalted Sir (Han Solo At Stars' End) 28.07.2025 1:52:11

This week, your hosts Feevee Bogo and Dibby Cut-Me-Throat read Han Solo At Stars' End by Brian Daley. By the Original Light, this book is really really good! It's got a mild space noir thing going on that's absolutely delightful. Problem is, this episode is not free of references to Chronicles of Riddick. Feevee Bogo (who also did our cover art) can be found online at chalkpastelmancer.tumblr.com...

I Can Feel My Creation (The Star Wars Holiday Special) 14.07.2025 1:26:34

For this episode of We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar, hosts Itchy and Cysty watched The Star Wars Holiday Special , which aired on CBS on November 17, 1978. In brief, Star Wars fans are weenies and this goofy little thing is really good! We discuss Cats (2019), Rebellion propaganda cartoons, John C Lilly, and the merits of grandpa watching VR smut in the living room. Join us again in 2 weeks when...

Steel Kitten (Splinter of the Mind's Eye) 30.06.2025 1:46:44

This week, your hosts Wan and Ker read Splinter of the Mind's Eye by Alan Dean Foster, the first Star Wars Extended Universe novel. This book was really racist! One sentence summary of this episode of We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar : Don't read this book. We promise things get better from here. Join us again in 2 weeks for our much more positive episode about The Star Wars Holiday Spec...

Pomegranate Fury (A New Hope novelization, formerly titled From The Adventures Of Luke Skywalker) 16.06.2025 1:59:57

Welcome to the first episode of We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar ! Join your hosts Myria Dene and Ennis Prydain as we review the novelization of Star Wars: A New Hope (formerly titled From The Adventures Of Luke Skywalker ) by Alan Dean Foster. Take our praise for his prose with a grain of salt – you'll find out why in 2 weeks, when we read Splinter Of The Mind's Eye. Myria Dene can be fo...
