The Star Wars: New Canon Book Club podcast is a must-listen for any Star Wars fan who wants to delve deeper into the lore and explore the expanded universe. This podcast has captured the hearts of many listeners, including those who were solely movie fans before discovering it. The hosts, Jesse, Alex, and Davis, bring their unique perspectives and insights to each episode, making it an engaging and enjoyable experience.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the deep dive into the lore and history of Star Wars. The hosts discuss various books, comics, and TV shows from the new canon with great enthusiasm and knowledge. Listeners get to hear about different storylines, characters, and plot developments that they may have missed or not had a chance to explore themselves. This allows for a greater appreciation of the world-building within the Star Wars universe.
Additionally, the banter between Jesse, Alex, and Davis adds a fun dynamic to the podcast. Their camaraderie is evident as they joke around and share their thoughts on different aspects of Star Wars. The humor keeps the episodes entertaining while still providing valuable insights into the content being discussed. The hosts also have a good balance when it comes to positivity and criticism, allowing for well-rounded discussions.
However, there are a few aspects that some listeners may find less appealing. One potential downside is that sometimes Davis's negativity towards certain aspects of Star Wars can overshadow other perspectives. While his logical arguments make sense to many listeners, others may feel like his views dominate discussions on occasion. Additionally, some listeners have expressed confusion over Alex's opinions due to his positive outlook on Star Wars despite acknowledging its flaws. It would be helpful if he provided more in-depth explanations to back up his positive stance.
Overall, The Star Wars: New Canon Book Club is a fantastic podcast for anyone looking to explore the expanded universe of Star Wars in an entertaining and informative way. While there are some minor drawbacks, the deep discussions, camaraderie between the hosts, and balanced perspectives make it a worthwhile listen. Whether you're a long-time Star Wars fan or just getting into the franchise, this podcast offers valuable insights and engaging content that will enhance your appreciation for the galaxy far, far away.
Bill Burr returns to a galaxy far far away, and Jesse is blown away that this man can act! Like, really act. But the real question you're all asking: What did Davis and Alex think!? Will this be the episode that tears the podcast apart?! Or the one that brings balance to the force?
A lot of you wanted to hear the unedited version of the podcast and deep dive into the discussion had on the previous episode. So here it is! In all it's unedited glory.
This time we cover the shocking Mandalorian Season 2 episodes 5 and 6. But the most shocking thing might be the response to them. In this extra long episode, Alex, Davis, and Jesse have EXTREMELY differing opinions on the return of Ashoka, Fennec, and Boba Fett.
A file got mixed into the last episode by mistake, so oops :P After someone (no names Davis) took a long weekend away, we're back with more Star Wars action! It's time to talk chapter 12 of Mandalorian! What is with these stormtroopers?!
After someone (no names Davis) took a long weekend away, we're back with more Star Wars action! It's time to talk chapter 12 of Mandalorian! What is with these stormtroopers?!
Episode 3 of the Mandalorian features the all important love story between a frog and... another frog. Also Baby Yoda shows some growth and I think that's all that happens. Yep, nothing else important I can remember...
Mandalorian season 2 episode 2 is filled with all sorts of small easter eggs and call backs to past shows and old art work. And all of that is great, but can we talk about that frog for a minute! What a great addition to the Star wars universe! Oh and bugs, lots of bugs...
Season 2 of the Mandalorian is here, and the boys just wanted to chat about it. Did we need another reason? Also COBB VANTH!? The video version of this episode is up on youtube.com/jessecox
This time the boys travel to a part of that galaxy far far away that no one has ever seen before - The High Republic. A period of the Star Wars saga so important no one has ever mentioned it before! What is in store for us as we venture into this new period of the Star Wars saga?! Let's find out!
The boys return to discuss Season 7 of the Clone Wars. What they liked, what they loved, and what the hated. From Bad Batch, to the Martel Sisters, to the show down on Mandalore! You can best believe there will be some heated contention over all of it!
Ventress! Dooku! Yoda! Qui-Gon! But what happens when you take several compelling characters, have a story told from the point of view of someone watching holovids of someone recording themselves telling ANOTHER person watching the story what happened? Well it certainly isn't a happy Davis. Stap in for hyperspeed as Jesse, Alex, and Davis return to a galaxy far far away to discuss the audio drama Dooku: Jedi Lost.
The boys return from a galaxy far far away to discuss the Claudia Gray novel Master & Apprentice, about Obi-wan, Qui-Gon, and a jedi that fuuuuuuuuuuu- well we'll get to that. Any time there's a grey jedi you know we'll love it, but what else did we think about this book? Follow us on twitter: @JesseCox @FacianeA @TeamDavis
The boys are finally doing it! Star Wars Rebels, season 4! Will Davis lose his mind about the crazy force stuff in the last few episodes? Will Alex have way too many crazy theories?! Will Jesse flame the flames and watch them lose their minds!? Only time (and this episode) will tell! We're back baby!
Due to some audio issues, a LOT of reconstruction work went into this episode, but FINALLY it sees the light of day! Allegiance is the pre-Rise of Skywalker comic series detailing the events of the moments before the film - however, none of it seems to connect. AT ALL. What is happening with this? Thankfully this will be the last in our "boy this movie crushed us" series of episodes. Rebels season 4 is this weekend! Stay Tuned!
We're all stuck at home. And turns out when there's been audio issues with your podcast you figure it out real quick when you've got nothing else to do! So expect many episodes VERY quickly - we're back, cause we've got no where else to :P It's the book club baby!
Jesse and Alex continue their two man operation while Davis is out of town, but that's ok - cause this episode was AMAZING!!! More of a recap then a review, we're holding off for Davey's return
Star Wars Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker is out! And while Davis is out of town, Jesse and Alex have seen the movie twice. And since they can't wait for him to get back to talk, they decided that they'll do one review now and one review with Davis when he returns. Thankfully Jesse and Alex are the positive ones, we a good outlook on all Star Wars... well to quote Luke Skywalker, "this is not going to go the way you think"...
The Mandalorian Episode 7 proves once again that the boys and I see through the matrix code of Star Wars. But DAYUM what a great episode! Mando has one last chance to get back in with the guild, and has to take it - but he's not going to do it alone. This is the way.
If you've ever played a D&D game or the Star Wars RPG, you know exactly what this episode is. All the tropes are here. The tank, the sassy droid, the boston guy, the blue person. All the tropes! The boys have a lot of thoughts on this cameo filled prison break episode! Also - MANDOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Sorry for the delay with this one! Episode 5 takes the Mandalorian to Tatooine in search for some work and repairs - what he finds is a babysitter and trouble. This is a divisive episode, there's lots to love and lots that make me wonder what they are thinking. Find out what WE'RE thinking, on this all new episode of the Star Wars New Canon Book Club.
Episode 4 of The Mandalorian features some great character growth, some tender moments, more baby Yoda and for the first time in Star Wars history - a threatening AT-ST!! Oh ya baby! It's gonna be a good one!
Jesse, Alex, and Davis are back to talk more about The Mandalorian! How is it possible the show just keeps getting better and better?! We've jetpack fights, a cryptic discussion of a new villain, and more of that sweet baby! Also, MANDOOOO!
Episode 2 is out and the boys are obsessed with a new character! What does this new addition to the Star Wars family mean?1 I don't know, but it most likely will be super cute!
The boys return for a short weekly reaction and review of The Mandalorian. From cool armor to Alex's obsession with fish, we've got a lot to say about this one and we're excited about the future of Star Wars! Also if you want check out this episode on youtube.com/jessecox with pictures and stuff!
The boys return from their adventures at Galaxy's Edge and completely forget to make an episode about it - so instead we're doing Rebels Season 3! Don't worry, we'll circle back around - but first let's talk about my dude THRAWN! Does Alex actually like a season of a Star Wars TV show?! Does Davis get upset about droids?! All this and more on this excited episode of the Star Wars New Canon Book Club!
It was the book that killed the podcast. In our first attempt at reading our reaction was so negative that we literally took a year off from reading Star Wars books. But the book is for charity and we know there have to be some good bits within. We fall into the force and let it guide us back into the darkness that is From a Certain Point of View.
The book club is back and as usual, not actually talking about a book. It's time to delve deep into season 2 of Star Wars Rebels! Is Ezra still using his awful lightsaber? Is Chopper still the worst? Can anything make this show bett....wait is that Darth Vader?! WAIT...IS THAT DARTH MAUL?! ... oh my god.
Star Wars celebration has come and gone and the boys have SO many thoughts on the newly released trailer for Star Wars Episode IX. Join Alex, Jesse, and Davis as we delve deep into our most analytical brain parts and theorycraft our way through 2 minutes of footage. What does it all mean?! And what does Jesse know exactly how the movie ends?! Find out all this and more on this exciting new episode of the Star Wars New Canon Book Club! We're back baby!
Jesse, Alex, and Davis are back! Well sort of - this episode once thought lost to time has been found!!! Oh and we're also meeting next week to record more episodes! Soooooooooo get your lightsabers out of the closet and be prepared to get excited for Star Wars again! More to come! But first, let's talk about some Star Wars comics!
The boys finally return after gallivanting around the globe, and sit down to talk the newest Star Wars film, Solo. What did they like. What didn't they like? Are they as divided as they were with Last Jedi?! Tune in to find out as we take our steps into Disney's first major expanded universe building cinematic endeavor.
The boys sit down to talk the Solo trailer. Despite Alex's terrible... genuinely terrible Harrison Ford accent, they somehow manage to talk about their hopes and fears for the movie, and what they think of the director swap issues. Will Solo be amazing, or will it break nerdy hearts. Should it have been a Lando movie instead? Is it a bridge to a Lando movie? Do we just love Lando too much? Diving deep into the trailer, they try to figure out what the plot of the movie will be and how it will all unfold. Then at the end, we talk about a VR experience we had at Disney where we entered Star Wars and lived a real rebel mission! All this and a special guest appearance by Hi-Bot in this all new SWNCBC episode! SWNCBC is Jesse Cox @JesseCox Alex Faciane @FacianeA Michael Davis @TeamDavis
Jesse, Alex, and Davis return to talk about Star Wars Rebels Season 1. As the journey of Ezra Bridger beings, how will the boys feel about the follow up series to Clone Wars? Is it better than the last animated Star Wars outing? Or have they returned to the dark side? Also - is Chopper just an asshole!? All this and more, in this new Star Wars New Canon Book Club.
After a contentious review of The Last Jedi, the boys return to discuss the book Phasma. A simple tale about a post apocalyptic hellscape, religious droid miners, lizard surfers, a thunderdome that makes cloth, a beetle bearded sand guardian, and a thousand other totally insane things. Or maybe it didn't happen at all!? Who knows!? Prepare for one of the most inventive additions to the Star Wars saga, and something that literally broke their minds. Jesse, Alex, and Davis all attempt to tackle this one, and ask some hard questions... but mostly "WTF?!"
After seeing Star Wars: The Last Jedi numerous times, the boys have gathered together to discuss the latest installment of the new trilogy. What does The Last Jedi mean for the franchise? Has it changed everything forever!? As the internet responds to the film, where will they stand? Will this film divide them? There is so much to discuss - everything the podcast has focused on for the last 2 years has led to this! Curious about their let's play of Star Wars Battlefront II? Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX2ahftuKw0 Tweet the boys! https://twitter.com/JesseCox https://twitter.com/FacianeA https://twitter.com/TeamDavis
The boys are back to talk about the latest offering to the Star Wars expanded universe, Battlefront II: Inferno Squad. The biggest event in the run up to the movie so far - featuring a game and book tie-in. What possible implications could it have for the franchise? Could there be any tie-ins with other books? Will any of it matter at all!? All this and more, on this episode of the Star Wars New Canon Book Club!
The Star Wars book club returns, this time with one of the very first canonical books of the refreshed franchise - Dark Disciple, by Christie Golden. Taking place after the events of Clone Wars, the story deals with the relationship between fan favorites Quinlan Vos and Asajj Ventress. it also gets into some really dark subjects, when a Jedi is asked to assassinate someone. We have MANY thoughts on this one, so sit back, relax, and let's rap about the wars!
The following was filmed shortly after the final trailers release, but due to traveling, it wasn't uploaded til now. My apologies - Jesse The Star Wars New Canon Book Club us back! Having gathered together to talk about the final trailer for Last Jedi and all the wacky crazy theories they can come up with.

In this episode, the boys discuss the final season of Star Wars: Clone Wars. Did it finally pay off for Alex? Was the Yoda episodes as hype as Jesse said? And has Davis discovered a secret Sith in the Jedi order?! All this talk and more, about the clone episodes, the Jar Jar episodes, and the way too much time spent on banking clans episodes... Let's get back into it! NEXT TIME: Dark Disciple Please leave a comment or review on our itunes page, it would mean the world!
Darth Vader has been shot down and marooned on a planet surrounded by the rebel alliance. Of course he's going to kick their ass - but apparently that's not all the story Vader Down tells. In this special comic cross over, we learn more about Dr. Aphra, Luke's flirtation with the force, and Han and Leia's ever expanding relationship. It's pretty great - for something called Vader Down that doesn't feature much of Vader. They boys discuss all this and more in the newest SWNCBC! Please leave a comment or review on our itunes page, it would mean the world!
The boys return to finally tackle Timothy Zahn's newest addition to Star Wars and his first crack the new expanded universe - Thrawn. Will the story behind Grand Admiral Thrawn's rise up the imperial ranks thrill the boys or will they find the new take on his character distracting? Tune in, back, and fall into the force. The Star Wars New Canon Book Club is a fan podcast dedicated to three guys love of Star Wars, the new books, and their desire to get maximum enjoyment out of the new trilogy.

The boys return to discuss the Last Jedi Trailer, their thoughts, theories, and things they suspect might be coming down the pipeline - as well as how it all fits into the books and shows they've watched so far! Come, theorycraft with us! ALSO if you are listening on itunes, please leave a review of the show! We would love to hear your thoughts :)
We've finally come to it! Clone Wars Season 5! Will Alex like it?! Will Jesse and Davis be vindicated?! Will they completely ignore the droid episodes?! All this, and too much talk about rolling grenades under droids in this episode of Star Wars New Canon Book Club!
Note: Early into this episode for roughly 10 minutes, Alex's audio cuts out. We tried to make some fixes, but it's still not the best. Just know it doesn't last long. The finale of Aftermath is here! What revelations will we be uncovered that lead into the new movies? What will we learn about the foundations of the First Order? About Ben? About the Republic? But more importantly, do the boys finally like our main characters?! Find out all this and more in the newest SWNCBC episode!
This time we talk season 4 of the Clone Wars. After careful reflection, Jesse realizes maybe he was mistaken about the series when they start to get into why Quarren are wearing shoes. WHY DO THEY WEAR SHOES?! Meanwhile Alex and Davis continue their war on Jogan Fruit.
The boys are back to talk about one of the first books to be created in Star Wars canon AND one of the few first person books written in the Star Wars universe, Heir to the Jedi. Will they enjoy the different take on Luke Skywalker or will they obsess over Jogan Fruit once again. I think we all know the answer to that...
Rogue One is finally here! Not only did we manage to watch it more than once, but watched it again right before recording. It was after midnight, but we needed to talk The Wars, so we decided to record at Alex's house into the wee hours of the morning. We have so many thoughts and opinions on this film and more importantly some interesting new feelings about Catalyst.
Rogue One is just a a day or so away, so it's the perfect time to discuss the book that takes place just before it: Catalyst. What were Jyn's parents like? Who is Orson Krennic and how does he know Galen, Jyn's father? Who else is connected to their origin story?! All this and our thoughts on what this will add to the movie, if anything, in a new Star Wars Book Club!
After much praise from Davis, the boys finally get to reading Star Wars: Tarkin. Is it as good as he says? This book looks deep into the back story of one of the Star Wars most interesting villains, Tarkin, and also offers a insights on several other characters they've become fascinated with over the past few episodes.
Season 3 of Clone Wars continues with a little less conversation and a little more action. The story really picks up and we finally get a deeper look into the mysteries of the force. Note: This is part 2 of the 2 part Clone Wars episodes.
The book club gathers together to talk about Season 3 of the Clone Wars, and in a shocking twist Davis and Alex almost switch opinions entirely on the series over the course of the discussion. But can Jesse lead them through the wild first 12 episodes of Season 3, without Davis bringing up Jogan fruit? Note: Season 3 discussion has been split into 2 episodes.
