A podcast telling the stories of the entire history of the Star Wars galaxy from the discovery of the Force and the founding of the first Republic over a millenia before the Battle of Yavin up to where the story is now. Hopefully this podcast will be perfect for people like me who are passionate about Star Wars and always curious to dig deeper into background information and context. What happened at the Battle of Tanaab that Lando casually mentions in Return of the Jedi? Why does Yoda say there are always only two Sith, no more no less? Who are the Guardians of the Whills that are talked about in Rogue One? You will discover the answers to these questions and infinitely more if you take this journey with me.
