It's finally here - part 1 of the Thrawn trilogy, Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn! There's a lot of great discussion about the book that essentially started the old Expanded Universe (now known as Legends). We also talk about our excitement for The Mandalorian (Mike admits he was maybe wrong!), preview a little of Resistance, and express our disappointment about Chuck Wendig's firing.

We also announce our interactive Discord server and Mike's crazy plan to run the Star Wars RPG with any listener who wants to play.

We'll continue the Thrawn trilogy until it's done, tune in next week for Dark Force Rising!

Join Star Wars fanatics, Mike and Jesse each episode as we breakdown the character & development of Luke Skywalker throughout both Legends and the  Disney canon. We’ll do our best to connect the dots of Luke’s adventures through the old EU to find out how he differs from the current canon hero, and debate which version would make The Last Jedi better.
