281 - Rancor Ridin' Dirty
Okay, this one I remember. Our characters one by one begin to converge on Nal Hutta, the current homeworld of everyone's favorite big slug gansgters. No one meets anyone else yet though. We're saving that for sweeps.

280 = The Toxic Moxla Avenger
Okay, apparently I forgot to post this very important episode for a while and a half, between work trips and some ongoing medical drama, it just slipped my attention. I officially apologize. Also, I have no idea what happened in it. I don't even know what a moxla is anymore. Some sort of venomous thing, I trust. Please enjoy!

Jon sent me
Such a good podcast. Thanks Jef and Jon for giving me the funnies and the chuckles.
Exactly what I need in a book review
I only read a few of the expanded universe books as a kid, and this is definitely a good source to decide if I want to read any of them now. (While mostly the answer is “no”, they did make me interested in some of the stories in Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina) It’s a great overview of the plots of the books along with the classic Jeff and John roasting of the material.
Hork up them dangle hams, kids!
It's a rare treat when a poorly written novel can become the highlight of my day. System Mastery skillfully retells the story of rather unfortunate Star Wars EU books and, God, they're really, really funny. Just like, "I-hate-myself-for-listening-to-this-while-I'm-driving-because-I'm-choking-on-my-spit-oh-god-send-help" funny. Their nerdy storm trooper voice should be recorded and placed in a museum for future generations to hear. If you're not sure about listening, DO IT. The fact that you're a nerd interested enough in Star Wars expanded universe lore means you will appreciate this podcast.
