Obroa-skai Walkers

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: Solaest Fleet

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

Zey is side-eyeing Kal and the Nulls, the government is side-eyeing Besany (in a manner of speaking), and Darman gets some news and... reacts. This week's Article From the Archives: Edruu

Oof. This episode is late. Sorry about that. Just please do not blame Cole for my transgression. Anyway, I feel like I'm always writing that things are getting rough for our heroes in these books, but somehow things keep getting worse.  This week's Article From the Archives: Black Level

HELLO 2023!!! I don't know what that is as far as Stardates go, but that's only somewhat relevant on this episode. Trekkie nonsense aside, we're picking back up with the Omegas in ORDER 66 by Karen Traviss! I don't know about you, but I'm not ready. This week's Article From the Archives: Rocket grass

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 Archives: Unidentified species (Vagaari) Link to Fanlore page about The Princess Tapes

The end has finally come. The bouncers have lost their mind, the Thought Bomb is ready to detonate, and Bane is SO ready to be done with all of these idiots. Also: emails, Wookieepedia updates, and Mando/Jedi Survivor news! This week's Article From the Archives: Tregan

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 Eye (EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate)

Acolyte news! Andor continues to be amazing! And Darth Bane is up to his usual Dark Side shenanigans and we love him for it for some reason.  This week's Article From the Archives: West Championne

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 his ass handed to him. This week's Article From the Archives: Lynik

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

We pick up with Bane--ER--I mean "Des" at a pretty rough spot in his life, but he decides he's gonna make the best of it. We also meet one of two good Neimoidians in the entire galaxy and learn the intricacies of this particular variant of Sabaac.  This week's Article From the Archives: Slickplast poster

We haven't recorded since Andor has come out, so we understanadbly spend a lot of time talking about ancient Imperial advisors and AK-47s. For next week, read chapters 1-6 of DARTH BANE: PATH OF DESTRUCTION by Drew Karpyshyn! This week's Article From the Archives: Endurance-class fleet carrier

To wrap up our coverage of SLAVE SHIP by K.W. Jeter, Bossk makes the foolish mistake of thinking an author would let him be smarter than Boba Fett, some of Neelah's background gets revealed, and Kuat of Kuat cracks open a cold one.  This week's Article From the Archives: Nuna drumsticks

Rogue One IMAX re-release! Andor preview! Competent Bossk! Math spider's revenge? All this and more... on Obroa-Skai Walkers! This week's Article From the Archives: Inat Prime System

A day late, but hopefully not a dollar short! This week we've got some very... chewy(?) chapters of Slave Ship, but they give us plenty to chat about all the same. This week's Article From the Archives: Diblen Harleys's father

After some speculation about the inner workings of the Star Wars video game industrial complex, we get into some Andor #hype and then into the first four chapters of SLAVE SHIP. Jeter can do no wrong! This week's Article From the Archives: Levi Schoen

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

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

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 Article From the Archives: Adventurer slugthrower rifle

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

Ben's building a database, Bill Slavicsek is a god, and more Luke Skywalker deepfake discourse! Oh, and things for the Omega boys and their friends are getting REAL sticky. Chapters 5-7 this week! This week's Article From the Archives: Spice cigar

WOW. Two weeks without an episode? Unacceptable. Please forgive us. But we're back now, and things are getting a little weird for our little clone buddies. This week's Article From the Archives: Sarliss Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library

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

Welcome back to the Clone Wars! Things are terrible here! But thankfully TRUE COLORS is at least enjoyable to read! This week's Article From the Archives: OB-2B Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library

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: Perilix system Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library

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

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-1200 Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library

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

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 Legends Library

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's Revenge Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library

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: Lubo Link to Ben's review of the Dark Nest Trilogy

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 try to rank the rest of the books we've read, but that's a big task. This week's Article From the Archives: R-97 Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library

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

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 Library

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 Legends Library

Things are getting weird on Mindor this week, patrons (as though they weren't weird before). Chapters 9-11 this week! This week's Article From the Archive: Lannik Racto's office Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library

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

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

Everything you've come to expect from an interlude shows up this week: Revan, John Williams, shelving, and of course, the 1993 LaserDisc masters. For next week read the first four chapters of LUKE SKYWALKER AND THE SHADOWS OF MINDOR by MATTHEW STOVER!! This week's Article From the Archives: Boffa Plant

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the end of Outbound Flight by Timothy Zahn this week. And to make matters worse, our bittersweet ending is more bitter than sweet. To soften the blow, we give you a little bit of home release goodness before we get into the book.

In this penultimate episode for Outbound Flight, things get bad for... pretty much everyone. Everyone and everything. This week's Article From the Archives: Zevel Hortine

Kav is painfully stupid, C'baoth is painfully awful, and Car'das is painfully normal!! All in a day's work here in the Unknown Regions. This week's Article From the Archives: Rand (Alderaanian) Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library

The world has conspired against us yet again and we have been kept from releasing a new episode once more. However, we recently had a new podcast join our little podcast family, and we figured we'd give them a little love in our feed to help them get off the ground. We present to you THE OSSUS PROJECT, which is basically our podcast but for Star Wars comics! So if you love our show, you're gonna love Luke and Austin too. So give it a shot! The Ossus Project on Twitter  

This week: Ancient Marvel comics, C'baoth is space racist (to the surprise of no one), and Thrawn wipes the floor with a Neimoidian! Next week is chapters 17-19! This week's Article From the Archives: Arbran system Here is the link to Justin Manning's In Memoriam Page Here's the Wookieepedia discussion on the canonicity of the FFG RPG Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library

Will you people just be nice to Lorana Jinzler PLEASE??? This week: just how related are Thrawn and Thrass? Why do so many Jedi family members work at the Jedi Temple? And why is Jorus C'baoth like that? Chapters 9-12 of Outbound Flight incoming! This week's Article From the Archives: Akwin Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library

In this week's supersized (even for us) episode, we tackle some speculation regarding physical releases of future D+ Star Wars material, the canonicity/Legendsicity of the Fantasy Flight RPG system, and of course, chapters 5-8 of Outbound Flight. It's not even getting good yet and it's already great. This week's Article From the Archives: Azure Sunset Link to the Unreal Cinema's WIP KOTOR Series Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library

Finally diving into the first four chapters of OUTBOUND FLIGHT by Timothy Zahn! Long-teased and long-awaited for sure! This week's Article From the Archives: Manazar Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library
