Ben and Cole move through the Star Wars Legends timeline as they see fit! There's assigned reading each week, and every episode covers that week's reading. Simple, right? There are plenty of Star Wars-related tangents along the way, so make sure to listen even if you haven't read!

Hello there! We've returned for yet another interlude, and this time around we're talking about what's going on with Star Wars movies in general, what happened to "the Edwards Cut" of Rogue One, what makes Lucasfilm get the ick from any given director, and a heretofore-unknown-to-us category of Wookieepedia article that answers SO many of our quest…

In what is likely to be the most frustrating ending ever to be covered on this podcast, we reach the finale of IMPERIAL COMMANDO: 501ST this week. Great book, great series, but tragically cut down in its prime. But we think the ride was worth the pain, and hopefully you all do as well. See you in a few weeks! This week's Article From the Archives: …

Our trip through the REPUBLIC COMMANDO series might be drawing to a close, but it ain't over yet! One of our minor characters takes a tragic left turn, another minor character makes an incredibly violent right turn, and a major character from something else makes an appearance and becomes yet another minor character in this book! Oh, and our favori…

Wouldn't you know it? Things end up just how we thought they might on Coruscant. They might be ever so slightly better, but not as good as they would be if everyone was where they were supposed to be. But life goes on! Holy Roly gets put in his place, Ny faces interrogation a la Null ARC, and Fi breaks our hearts. All of this and more in chapters 1…

In so many ways, it feels like we've truly hit the calm before the storm, dear library patrons. The extraction plan is in motion, and it's going FAR too smoothly for comfort. Also: there's a "crisis" on Gibad and a new Imperial commander that is absolutely going to be more trouble than he's worth. For next week, read chapters 10, 11, and 12. This w…

Things keep trucking along, both on Coruscant and in Kyrimorut! That said, I’m uneasy. Everything seems to be going just a bit too smoothly. But first, we dig into Mando’a, Pammant, and… Star Wars: Club Penguin? Also, thanks to Josh for the email this week! If you want to be cool like Josh and send us an email, get at us over at obroaskaiwalkers@gm…

We did it! We can read! And things aren't too terribly sad yet, but all the ingredients are there: Darman and Niner are stuck with the Empire, Kyrimorut is going just a bit too well for comfort, and Ko Sai is... in a freezer? Next week: chapters 4-7! This week's Article From the Archives: H4b Full show notes: https://notes.moseisley.xyz/iSaSTs1eSlu…

Good. Lord. Can you believe we disappeared for that long? It's honestly upsetting. But that's all behind us now. Hopefully you kept up on your Shadow Games reading? Obviously I kid! We're just happy to be back, so we jump right in and deliver our finest interlude in at least two years, and all jokes aside, potentially one of our longest ever. And f…

This might be the biggest Star Wars podcast ever recorded. That's probably hyperbole, but I don't even care because it certainly felt that way. We cover not one but TWO episodes of THE MANDALORIAN leading up to the season finale and of course everything that dropped at STAR WARS CELEBRATION. Excitement ensues! This week's Article From the Archives:…

Happy Mandalorian Season 3 day everyone!!! Two episodes inside a week? How unlike us! But unfortunately this week's reading ends on what just might be the most painful cliffhanger that this show has ever had to endure. For next week, finish the book! This week's Article From the Archives: Unidentified Clone Trooper (Ventress Victim)…

After a brief (and unintended) break, we've returned with the next set of chapters for ORDER 66. Anakin said that "this is where the fun begins," but I'm not feeling like things are actually going to be that fun. Also, we talked about Star Trek for the first 35 minutes. Sorry. This week's Article From the Archives: Venomator…

Surprise! We're back. Before we even thought we'd be, really. And we're all over the place! Hunting down weird out of place MIDI music, looking at a Star Wars fan zine from 40 years ago, a battle that MIGHT have something to do with Geroon, and way more Mandalorian season 3 speculation than I signed up for, personally. This week's Article From the …

Ben finished Legacy of the Force: Bloodlines (spoilers end at about 46:30) and he is in PAIN. So naturally there is a lot of discussion about that since Andor talk happened on Skyhoppers this week. But then Darth Bane almost dies twice and sets his greater plans in motion (not necessarily in that order). This week's Article From the Archives: Dark …
  continue reading
 
In an effort to talk through some of our questions about Andor, we just end up with more questions. But we're only halfway through this season, so I'll allow it. We then discuss whether or not Bane is Big Stupid, how Githany is so stunningly beautiful that everyone forgets how to live, and another Zabrak with a double-bladed lightsaber that gets hi…

This week "Des" finally finds his way to the Sith Academy and, well... kills somebody. I don't think anyone is shocked. BUT. It does lead to a lot of interesting characterization, which is what we're here for at the end of the day. Also ANDOR. The EYE!!! This week's Article From the Archives: Wistie language…
  continue reading
 
If you're looking to skip the Legacy of the Force: Betrayal spoilers, skip to here: 1:18:40 We've got an interlude! We've got Shadows of the Sith! We've got an email! We've got three months of tiny news blurbs in the span of 45 minutes! It's good to be back, friends <3 Read chapters 1-4 of SLAVE SHIP by K.W. Jeter for next week! This week's Article…

This will be a long remembered. It has seen the end of Kenobi, and it will soon see the end of True Colors, the latter of which will leave our heroes in the best spot we've seen them in to date... right? Also inside: Emails! Kenobi! Custom figures! This one's got it all! This week's Article From the Archives: Imperial Corps of Bioengineers…
  continue reading
 
Sorry, Kenobi isn't Legends but come on... how are we supposed to NOT talk about last week's episode at least for a bit? We're excited to see where things go from here! And for once, everything isn't totally doom and gloom in True Colors world! Just mostly doom and gloom as things tend to be for our plucky RCs and company these days. This week's Ar…

After a full 45 minutes of Kenobi discussion and speculation and then a completely logical progression of the discussion into Crimson Empire, we're covering a VERY important set of three chapters from True Colors. Don't even know what's happening here. This week's Article From the Archives: Crimson Empire III: Empire Lost 6…

At this point I'm done saying that these are getting rough for our cast of heroes (and Walon Vau). Things are ALWAYS rough for these folks. But before things get bad, we discuss Celebration, Kenobi clips, and... Barbara Hambly? This week's Article From the Archives: Ersheg Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library…
  continue reading
 
Okay everyone, we're sorry about last week. Somehow we both read the wrong book. True Colors has nothing to do with the Glove of Darth Vader after all! And I think it's made much better for it. Chapter 1 and "Odds" this week! This week's Article From the Archives: Zeller Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library…
  continue reading
 
Ben is reading The New Rebellion! Obi-Wan had a trailer! New editions of Legends books are coming! We also discuss the fact that Star Wars fans left to their own devices can get a little... antsy. And we're reading TRUE COLORS by Karen Traviss! Read the short story "Odds" and up through chapter 1 for next week! This week's Article From the Archives…
  continue reading
 
Celebration badges are going back on sale soon, we are officially going(!), and Ben is reading Midnight Horizon! But the main event is obviously the end of THE MANDALORIAN ARMOR, which certainly doesn't go out with a whimper. This week's Article From the Archives: Roson Driver Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library…
  continue reading
 
Apparently this is our second to last reading for THE MANDALORIAN ARMOR and I'm mad about it. As is typical with this book, some mysteries unravel this week while others only deepen. You'll have to listen to find out which does what! Or you could just read the book without us, but why would you do that? This week's Article From the Archives: HR-120…

This week in OSW: rumors and leaks, Ben's brief review of The Old Republic's version 7.0 expansion Legacy of the Sith, and of course, frickin DUDE WITH A FRICKIN LASER BEAM ATTACHED TO HIS FRICKIN HEAD. This week's Article From the Archives: Xephi Sep Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library…
  continue reading
 
Two weeks in a row! A new record! We touch on everything that went on in Episode 6 of The Book of Boba Fett because it'd be literally impossible to not do that, but then THE MANDALORIAN ARMOR begins in earnest! More plots than a cemetery. This week's Article From the Archives: Briefing cabin Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legen…
  continue reading
 
It's been too long since we talked about home releases, don't you think? So we get to some of that, but not before we talk about... the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles? Weird. Not sure how that got there. But then we FINALLY go off about the first six chapters of THE MANDALORIAN ARMOR by K.W. Jeter! This week's Article From the Archives: Sore Loser'…
  continue reading
 
I don't know about y'all, patrons, but I hear that Aerosmith song playing! You know the one. After a hiatus that went on much too long, we're back to shoot the breeze about Boba Fett and so many bugs! At one point Cole almost accidentally says "snooniverse" and he thought I didn't notice, but I definitely did. This week's Article From the Archives:…
  continue reading
 
As the title suggests, this isn't a new book or even a proper interlude. We were SUPPOSED to record an episode of Skyhoppers, but when Cole and I get left alone, it basically turns into this show anyway so we just went ahead and did that on purpose. We take a look back at the books we read in 2021 and try to rank them against one another. We also t…

We had some trouble getting together to get this one recorded at first, but now we're here to deliver the last two chapters of LUKE SKYWALKER AND THE SHADOWS OF MINDOR. But not before we get bogged down in talking about other Star Wars stuff for a while first 😈 This week's Article From the Archives: TK-512 Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhopper…
  continue reading
 
Force suns, flying volcanoes, and projectile black holes: Mindor has it all baby! Or what's left of it, anyway. Chapters 15-16 this week! This week's Article From the Archives: Retribution (Discril-class) Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends LibraryBy Obroa-skai Walkers
  continue reading
 
I guess it wouldn't be COMPLETELY unrealistic to say that you saw this week's cliffhanger coming, but I would definitely be giving you a side eye because it hit ME like a ton of bricks. Chapters 12-14 of Shadows of Mindor coming at you fast! This week's Article From the Archive: Metanecrons Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legend…
  continue reading
 
Don't worry, the title doesn't mean what you think it means. We talk a bit about the potential continuation of Legends, Star Wars alphabets, and of course, chapters 5-8 of Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor! This week's Article From the Archive: Psi Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library…
  continue reading
 
Back from our unexpected absence last week, we're bringing you the first four chapters of LUKE SKYWALKER AND THE SHADOWS OF MINDOR! After talking about Visions a lot, of course. It's not canon so it's good to talk about here, right? This week's Article From the Archives: R5-B8 Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library…
