Expounded Universe

Such a good podcast. Thanks Jef and Jon for giving me the funnies and the chuckles.

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.

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.

Thanks to Jef and Jon, I can laugh my way through the expanded universe ex-cannon without having to pick up a book!
