    Episode I - Introductions! And A Brief and Spotty Overview of the SWEU

    Yeah, we know this our first episode and that we've already screwed up. We forgot to mention which book we're reading!!! What fools. We promise this episode is better than this major goof makes it out to be. The book we've chosen is the first book in the Han Solo Trilogy: The Paradise Snare by A.C. Crispin! Make sure you read through chapter four before the next episode comes out!

    The Paradise Snare - Chapters 1-4

    The Paradise Snare - Chapters 1-4

    This week, we begin our jaunt through The Paradise Snare! We already have all the episodes for this book recorded, so I can assure you that in the next episode (or the one after?) we actually write up a plot summary so there's less "uhhhh what happened next?" Don't worry. It gets better. (Still no intro or logo. Sorry about that.)

    Episode III - The Paradise Snare Chapters 5-8

    This week, chapters five through eight of The Paradise Snare! Turns out it's actually the week after THIS one when we finally start writing plot summaries, sadly. But we get there, and the show is all the better for it.

    The Paradise Snare Chapters 9-12

    It's gonna be nice when we're recording on a weekly basis and we don't have to worry about forgetting to cut out technical difficulties! Hopefully there are none of those this week. But no matter what, we're discussing chapters 9-12 of The Paradise Snare!

Love this podcast !

Recently getting into the greater Star Wars literary universe and these two are great hosts! Like two guys at a bar talking about Star Wars! What’s not to love?!

One of my favorite podcasts.

Ben and Cole,
A few weeks ago I think I may have been the one who gave you a five star review without a written review. Just wanted to tell you guys that I have enjoyed your podcast immensely over the last few years. I don’t have anyone to talk to about the Star Wars novels, so listening to you two is a real pleasure. Currently, I’m reading Jedi Twilight and enjoying being back with I-5 from Medstar. This past December, I finished Crucible sadly, but not before enjoying the New Jedi Order and Legacy of the Force. Now I’m backtracking to finish up all of Legends before A New Hope while impatiently waiting for the second Thrawn Ascendancy novel.
Thank you both for the interesting and fun conversations every week. I don’t mind going down the great Pit of Carcoon at all!

Take care,
Aaron from Flagstaff, AZ

NJO is an abomination, but this podcast is excellent

As someone who has already read all the novels in the EU (pre Disney reset) this podcast is the best EU podcast. That said NJO was the most overlong nonsense I’ve ever read. At least Splinter of the Mind’s Eye was short.

Please, oh please, cover our lord and savior Darth Bane and his Path of Destruction
