The Original Star Wars Expanded Universe

Jared and Freddy walk us back into a time where anything goes within the Star Wars expanded universe. The “EU” as it has come to be called is a larger galaxy of books, stories, and collections that enhance the cinematic Star Wars movies and build on main and lesser known characters alike. These guys are well versed in the novels before Disney purchased the Star Wars franchise in 2012 dating back to 1978 with Splinter of the Mind’s Eye by Alan Dean Foster. If you need any type of boost to step foot into a wider world of Star Wars characters and novels or just want to take a journey back down memory lane, Jared and Freddy are your expanded universe liaisons for an hour a week. No need to think, subscribe as soon as your done reading this review!
