18 - The Crystal Star
After some recording hiccups, we return to discuss 1994's The Crystal Star by Vonda N. McIntyre. Some have called this the "worst Star Wars novel" ever published, which you should know off the bat is…
17 - Champions of the Force
We're back finally after reading the third piece of shit "written" by Kevin J. Anderson for his Jedi Academy trilogy, 1994's Champions of the Force. The previous two were bad and this one is also…
16 - Dark Apprentice
We're unfortunately back to Kevin J. Anderson's tedious Jedi Academy trilogy with the second installment, 1994's Dark Apprentice. The gang is unifed in our hatred of Kevin's writing and we're just…
15 - The Courtship of Princess Leia
We talk about 1994's The Courtship of Princess Leia by Dave Wolverton. Dave cooked with this one, honestly. There's some outrageous stuff in here but it's combined with genuinely some of the best…
14 - Jedi Search
It stinks! We cover 1994's Jedi Search, the first of Kevin J. Anderson's Jedi Academy trilogy, and based on this one, we're in for a rough ride! Luke wants to restart the Jedi Order so he finds a…
13 - The Truce at Bakura
We discuss Kathy Tyers' very interesting 1993 novel The Truce at Bakura, our first standalone novel since Splinter of the Mind's Eye. Tyers is a fascinating figure, and she wrote a fascinating book…
12 - The Last Command
We conclude Big Tim's iconic trilogy with 1993's The Last Command. Topics include how you could escape an asteroid blockade of your planet, what exactly Mara Jade's duties were as the Emperor's Hand,…
11 - Mission From Mount Yoda, Queen of the Empire, & Prophets of the Dark Side
The regret continues as we conclude Paul and Hollace Davids' horrible 1993 children's series. Somehow these books are even more insane than the first three. Topics include whether archaeologists can…
10 - The Glove of Darth Vader, The Lost City of the Jedi, & Zorba the Hutt's Revenge
(There are some issues with specifically Ethan's audio in this one. We regret the error.) Regrettably, we cover a trilogy of children's Star Wars books published in 1992 by married writing team Paul…
9 - Dark Force Rising
We continue Big Tim's iconic trilogy with 1992's Dark Force Rising! Topics include US/Imperial debt trap neocolonialism, the white Saw Gerrera, and C'baoth wanting to preserve the purity of the Jedi…
8 - Heir to the Empire
We finally make it to (pretty) Good Star Wars with Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire (1991). This is the one that started it all! Topics include Grand Admiral Thrawn as an example of the "Clean…
7 - Lando Calrissian and the Starcave of ThonBoka
We finally finish L. Neil Smith's interminable trilogy with Lando Calrissian and the Starcave of ThonBoka (1983). Topics include libertarianism's reliance on junk science, the inability to create new…
6 - Lando Calrissian and the Flamewind of Oseon
We continue L. Neil Smith's trilogy with Lando Calrissian and the Flamewind of Oseon (1983). Neil isn't playing around and includes every one of his political beliefs in this one. Topics include how…
5 - Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu
We eventually talk about 1983's Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu by L. Neil Smith (after talking about Smith's batshit libertarian politics and other writings for 45 minutes). Topics…
4 - Han Solo and the Lost Legacy
We wrap up Brian Daley's 1980 conclusion to the Han Solo Adventures with what might have been the best of the trilogy, then finish up with a long discussion about Hutts and the books in the near…
3 - Han Solo's Revenge
We continue with Han Solo's adventures in Han Solo's Revenge (1979) by Brian Daley. Was Daley able to keep up the momentum? Topics include Star Wars' obsession with slavery, changing the Corporate…
2 - Han Solo At Stars' End
Joined by Jeremy, we discuss the first in Brian Daley's Han Solo Adventures, Han Solo At Stars' End (1979). Topics include Daley's possible socialist sympathies, droid personhood and how Star Wars…

We discuss Splinter of the Mind's Eye (1978) by Alan Dean Foster. This being the first episode, we spend a while discussing our general opinions and history with Star Wars as a whole, but then we get…
