  1. 401 - Legacy of the Force I: Betrayal

    EPISODE 1

    401 - Legacy of the Force I: Betrayal

    A presumed-dead Marvel Star Wars villainess looms large over this next nine-book series, so it would be a karking shame not to consult luminary Marvel Star Wars Explorer Brian Rudloff to determine what the fierfek is going on! Like dark side mynock apparitions, we denude every nugget of Betrayal, from the ill-fated droid who's two Vaders tall to the hasty heel turn by a fan-favorite Young Jedi Knight...

  2. 402 - Legacy of the Force II: Bloodlines

    EPISODE 2

    402 - Legacy of the Force II: Bloodlines

    We keep things in the family with returning guest Ryan Davis for Bloodlines, a certified Book of Boba Fett plus his bounty hunter brood! Hear us praise author Karen Traviss' character development, theorize how Legacy of the Force tries to out-Prequel the Prequels, and feel disquieted by the novel's eerie real-world parallels in a time of militarized police and civil unrest...

  3. 403 - Legacy of the Force III: Tempest

    EPISODE 3

    403 - Legacy of the Force III: Tempest

    Advancing past the Preliminary Judging of Muscles, crazy bugslut Barm strong-arms his way into this tempestuous episode to check in on what's happenin' with the Hapans. Is the third entry in the Renny-Harlinesque Legacy of the Force series a real flooger-bed of intrigue, or does it burst our dreambubble by juggling too many narrative wobble balls? Well, let's find out!

  4. 404 - Legacy of the Force IV: Exile

    EPISODE 4

    404 - Legacy of the Force IV: Exile

    Dusting off the ol' Canadian phone book, we drag Geoff Clarke out of exile for a Quick Bite™ of the latest wheel-spinning Legacy of the Force entry. Is it duracrud, or are we simply taking the piss, in the proud tradition of Uran Lavint and Blatta the Hutt? Either way, it all circles the drain from there, as we look up our own names on Wookieepedia and realize that Star Wars is ultimately just a world of competing magicians.

  5. 405 - Legacy of the Force V: Sacrifice

    EPISODE 5

    405 - Legacy of the Force V: Sacrifice

    Interrupting his Toydarian-takeout-in-the-bathtub ritual, we lure Alien Nation aficionado Jack Stovold to soak in the fifth Legacy of the Force book, courtesy of our favorite Karen. In Traviss' momentous middle chapter, a subtle feminist undercurrent bubbles to the surface amidst a galvanizing alloy of political intrigue and personal loss. As the stakes rise, some EU fan favorites take a heartbreaking fall...

  6. 406 - Legacy of the Force VI: Inferno

    EPISODE 6

    406 - Legacy of the Force VI: Inferno

    We toss the tyrossum jawbone around with Nate Tapp, fanning the flames of discourse over this searing installment where Jacen's bridge-burning hits new highs and a mere Lowbacca cameo reminds us how much more fuel he could've added to the firestorm on Kashyyyk. We also drop scorching Stranger Things news and spark a smoldering sidebar about why "music songs" can't be explained by theory: they just ignite the soul!

    2h 56m
  7. 407 - Legacy of the Force VII: Fury

    EPISODE 7

    407 - Legacy of the Force VII: Fury

    Caedus is the reason for the season in Fury, ringing in our holidays with a wholesome family abduction! Like newly unwrapped crushgaunts, Eric Ambler helps tighten our grip on the story and even squeeze in memories of "crappy apartments cluttered with plastic instruments" circa X-mas 2007. This Allstonian spin on seasonal silliness will stick with us from now until Jesus's next birthday. Fury Twistmas to all, and a Celchu New Year!

    4h 8m
  8. 408 - Legacy of the Force VIII: Revelation

    EPISODE 8

    408 - Legacy of the Force VIII: Revelation

    Flying by the seat of our Force-sensitive pants, we revel in one last Traviss title, kicking the conversational bolo-ball around with bounty-hunter-lovin' barve Ryan Davis.  Hear us bounce between topics like harebrained holotoons, from Darth Caedus' imperial ineptitude to such deep-cut detours as The Bella Movie, as Cam prattles on about his semester in Prague until Mustafar freezes over. (Episode translated from Mando'a.)

    3h 10m
  9. 409 - Legacy of the Force IX: Invincible

    EPISODE 9

    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!
