Today, we are joined by a special guest, Aaron Moats from the Star Wars Legends Lounge. We look back at the Bantam Spectra era of publishing and talk about the books and authors from this era. What did we love and not? What can Star Wars learn from the 90s going forward?
In this video, Liam explains the ENTIRE timeline of Star Wars: The Clone Wars in Star Wars Legends. The Clone Wars Era of the Star Wars Expanded Universe is the most complex and convoluted part of the timeline. Between 2002 and 2014, The Clone Wars Era received two TV Series (Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003-2005) and Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008-2014), a theatrically released animated film, dozens of novels, epic comic book storylines, and all-time classic Star Wars video games. However, with all that content, many of the stories tended to get contradicted or just straight-up retconned. For the first time on YouTube, this video FINALLY attempts to put the original Star Wars: Clone Wars multimedia project and the 3D Animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars in an exact timeline order. This is the definitive Star Wars Legends Clone Wars Timeline. If you're a fan of The Clone Wars or Star Wars Legends, you absolutely don't want to miss this video. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/starwarslads/support

What's up, Star Wars Fans. I apologize to anyone waiting on my works in progress. I am going through a career change, and I will not have the bandwidth to continue in the near future, so my channel might be on pause, or you might see some changes to the types of content I post. The good news is, since I started this channel, I have discovered many other channels that post similar content, and I look forward to seeing what they do next. @TheArchivistPublishing is still producing AI generated Star Wars Audiobooks, and with the best quality I have heard. Much better than mine. @joshadams8317 is pouring his heart and soul into professional grade audiobooks of Karen Traviss's Republic Commando Series. @AdmiralMakati is producing AI generated Star Wars Fan Fiction Audiobooks that are top-notch writings by Gregory O Scott. @swcomicfilms66 is producing Star Wars Audio Comics at peak quality, and covering the comics I want to see most. I recently came across @MangaComicTv, and they are currently reading Star Wars Legacy, so support them if you want to hear the rest. I am a huge fan of @DarthAngelus, who is producing an animated film of Heir to the Empire. I am sure there are more out there, so let us know in the comments if you know other channels that are killing it for Star Wars Expanded Universe content. If nowhere else, I hope to see you commenting on my favorite artist's Star Wars music videos. You know who I mean. @RoyishGoodLooks The Force will be with you. Always. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/decadebird/support

Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.In this week's episode, I will be breaking-down a very special topic that's near and dear to my heart – The Star Wars EXPANDED UNIVERSE of the 1990s freakin ruled, and I'm going to tell you why it's better than anything the Disney Star Wars has given us since they purchased it from George Lucas. I was that kid who read all the books in elementary and high school, and I'm proud as hell that I did, because it opened up my imagination more than anything that has come out since the Disney purchase. Join me on the journey from 1983 to 1999, from Return of the Jedi to The Phantom Menace, from childhood to adolescence. I am opening up my Star Wars vault of books and memorabilia to share with you all.

Star Trek's universe is bizarre and horrifying at times. Cosmic beings summon orcs to stab you in the back, alternate versions of your flagship get stuck in a wormhole, nonlinear entities get taught about time through memories of baseball, love and death. It's all a bit weird and we're going to revel in it today by talking about cosmic horror. Ships full of Vulcans get a rough time today, starting with The Immunity Syndrome where a space amoeba kills them and the rest of a solar system. Can the crew discover a solution when their energy and the ship's are rapidly dwindling? The next cosmic entity is Nagilum, who is self-aware, godlike and a real jerk! The Enterprise has to work out a solution to get this bastard off their back, but it might mean their own deaths! Wesley picks the best time to take a break from the Conn and we get some camera experiments to distract from this being a bottle episode. Finally we're back to tormenting a ship of Vulcans in Impulse, where they're driven into a mad, zombie-like rage! Not only are these T'Pol's old colleagues, but she's also infected. Can the crew survive until help comes? Also Trip & Mayweather get their fanciest gold spacesuits on to go all Minecraft on some asteroids. 00:01:33 What Non-Star Trek Thing We've Been Enjoying 00:15:02 Talking about Cosmic Horror 00:17:58 Star Trek: The Original Series “The Immunity Syndrome” 00:43:15 Star Trek: The Next Generation “Where Silence Has Lease” 01:11:03 Star Trek: Enterprise “Impulse” If anyone could do a cover of the Enterprise theme tune based on either the Donnie Darko “Mad World” or “Cotton Eye Joe” that would be amazing and we would give you a shout out for performing such madness. Talking points include: We literally only mention him once at the start, but of course Howie P Lovecraft gets a mention, Event Horizon, Space Battleship Yamato, Miles' guest appearance on Breakfast in the Ruins, The Coming of the Terraphiles, Star Wars The Acolyte, making The Force weird, the disappointment of The Book of Boba Fett, Hold the Front Page, Taskmaster, getting a bit political, Charlie tries to explain cosmic horror in 30 words and loses count, Bobby Davros, Bobby Davro, The Beatles, a redshirt who looks like a young Hugh Dennis, stuntmen called Dick, Babylon 5, Time Lord reproduction, Star Wars Expanded Universe, The Langoliers, power ballads, Rock Band (RIP), The Backrooms, Portal, Earl Boen, Terminator, anime references in Star Trek: TNG, Dirty Pair, Chris Claremont, Buffy, Ernest Kline deserves a kicking, Knightmare, Quentin Quire & Damian Wayne, a thematic trilogy, Impulse (the comic), the descent of the Black Eyed Peas, the most 2003 guest star on a track of music, Mad World, Annihilation, the Space War on Terror, Battlestar Galactica, Alias, 24, Lost, Eastenders, PUT JEFFREY COMBS IN DOCTOR WHO YOU COWARDS!, Space: 1999, Star Maidens. Oh, and occasionally Star Trek. Pedant's Corner: Miles left the country two years into the 14 years of Tory rule. Charlie's summary of cosmic horror was 22 words, so we both lost count. Miles' “reverse logic” bit was 12 seconds, the sspreadsheet has been adjusted accordingly Casual Trek is by Charlie Etheridge-Nunn and Miles Reid-Lobatto Music by Alfred Etheridge-Nunn Casual Trek is a part of the Nerd & Tie Network https://ko-fi.com/casualtrek Miles' blog: http://www.mareidlobatto.wordpress.com Charlie's blog: http://www.fakedtales.com
Liam reviews Star Wars: X-Wing: Wraith Squadron by, Aaron Allston. Wraith Squadron was the fifth book in the Star Wars: X-Wing books series from the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and the first in the Wraith Squadron Trilogy. In this book, Rebel hero, Wedge Antilles, builds a new X-Wing fighter squadron called Wraith Squadron. Wraith Squadron is made up of a ragtag group of misfits and outcasts, hand-chosen by Wedge for their superior flying skills as well as their effective ground combat skills. This leads to a story featuring a cast of unlikely heroes, searching for a way to put aside their personal grievances with the Empire and work together as a team. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/starwarslads/support
