The Star Wars Stacks

Jen · March 23, 2014, 08:53:51 PM

Hi everyone! Chris, Joe and I were inspired to start a Star Wars EU podcast after guest hosting episode 474 on Treks In Sci-Fi, where we reviewed the novel: Kenobi. We have released two episodes now. The first was an intro to the show and we just released our second episode tonight in which we review "Millennium Falcon" by James Luceno. This is a monthly podcast, to allow listeners a chance to read the books in time for our next episode.

Next month we'll be covering "Heir to the Empire" by Timothy Zahn.

We're working on a web site, but for now you can follow us on

Awesome! Keep that EU flag flying!

I had so much fun! Huge shout outs to Rick Moyer for the music, it's so much better then I imagined it could be. Equal shout outs to Chris for the heroic editing efforts to make us sound like we know what we're talking about.

Coincidentally I got a Lego Millennium Falcon which I built. I will say I did it in honour of the book :)

Nice! Is that Han in the cockpit? Where's Chewy? You should have him on top working on the deflector dish. That's what it's called in Star Wars, right?

Chewie is playing Dejarik in the lounge with Leia. If I had a Lando minifig I could always just take the dish off and make a "post Battle of Endor" Falcon :)

Yup, site in progress! For now we've got a Facebook page which is much more active then I thought it'd be.

As for the Falcon, I had a lot of fun building it. Biggest Lego set I've put together in probably 20 years.

We have put out our next episode, covering Heir to the Empire. We will also be having a short discussion on the nuclear fallout of the EU destruction coming very soon!

I think your timing is great, you guys will be at the forefront of the new in universe books we are about to get flooded with! And you can use the EU as filler, it would have been tedious reading all those books again, admit it. ;)

Yes, it's going to great with the new books being canonical. And yeah, I do shudder a bit thinking of all of the books in the myriad series I have no desire to re-read. But there's enough great books to keep us going for some time.

I missed this thread - I'll be listening.
