Podcasts about xizor

That ended abruptly! Sure enough we get a chapter containing both Vader and Xizor, but... eh you'll see. Also there's some robots and some big-ish reveals, I suppose! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Vader packs up and rides to join the party, Jax and company fight some crazy robots, and Xizor meets Nick Rostu, surely that's fantasic, right? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We've met almost everyone we know we need to now! Just Laranth to go! But hark, we're meeting a subvillain for the book this time, and he hates Xizor, and now we're hearing that old classic Xizor bragging. Feels good to be home. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today we discuss the Shadows of the Empire comic. In public, Prince Xizor is the head of a powerful shipping company, but in private he is in charge of Black Sun, a vast criminal empire. He is the third most powerful being in the known galaxy, behind only Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. Xizor hates Vader and looks for ways to undermine him. When he learns of Vader's interest in Luke Skywalker, he decides to kill the Rebel to make his rival look bad. Luke, Leia, Lando, and Chewbacca are trying to rescue Han after the events at Cloud City. Boba Fett still hasn't made his way to Jabba's Palace and they are trying to intercept Slave I before he gets there. To help them, they've hired a hotshot pilot named Dash Rendar.

It's a trip to one of our favorite places as this week we're heading back to the magical land of the STAR WARS QVC SPECIALS! Listen as we watch a full episode from August 1997, an age when the Special Edition VHS tapes were the hottest things in the world and Shadows of the Empire still cast a Xizor sized shadow over fandom. Along the way we're talking Master Replica sabers, life size Vader and the Lucasfilms. So call before supplies run out, send a fax, listen today and celebrate the love!

Bring us your angry apostrophe comments, they’re delicious!  Anyway, today’s episode is the crazy finale!  Explosions!  Torture!  Presumably buses full of chafed and weary orgy participants!  All that and way […]

Oh wow, the shit all hits the fan here!  Action!  Intrigue!  Extended lawn orgy!  Thrill as we finally meet the legendary richest man in the galaxy Bohhuah Muttdah and his […]

Cue the Strawberry Alarm Clock, because it’s time for a trippy flight through a rainbow space montage!  Also there’s sabotage afoot, and fighters attacking!  Exciting times indeed.

Well, it may have been a bit, but dang it we aren’t continuing the intriguing tale of Lando in jail, Rokur Gepta in monologue, and Klyn Shanga and his motley […]

Another ep featuring an N64 game!  This time we're ripping through the Star Wars universe, in a game that really does it all.  One could argue that it doesn't do it all very well, but it still has a little bit of everything.  Whether you're flying across the snowy fields of Hoth, venturing on foot, swimming, jumping from train to train, or cruising through space, you get to assume the role of Dash Rendar as he makes an effort to stop the dastardly Xizor from crushing the Rebel Alliance and strengthening the Empire.  From the various styles of play to the soundtrack, we try to touch on it all here.  Please join us as we explore all aspects of this popular franchise entry!

Finally some quality time with Rokur Gepta, who is rapidly shaping up into one of those villains who already knew you were going to do that, which might suck, but […]

Next book!  And whoa, this one starts out with the libertarian coming on strong.  Man, how did I not notice this when I read these at 14?

The poll isn’t over yet, but it’s looking very likely that we’ll just stay right here in the Centrality with young Lando and his cool droid companion for at least […]

Time to bring it home!  We finally discover not only the titular Mindharp of Sharu, but also what it does!  And we confront this book’s big villain… well sort of.  […]

Is this episode big?  Little?  Both!  We’re not sure exactly who’s doing the size changing around here, but everyone is brand new sizes (except Mohs, who instead has liberate’d tutemi […]

We’re stepping up the pace to three chapters.  Today we check in with Lando (tied to a tree, dying) and Vuffi Raa (full of arrows, dying), and then amazingly more […]

First, a brief discussion that has a surprising lack of detail available without going to a website: Does the Falcon have a bedroom?  Feels like it should, right?  But here’s […]

A man with a gun bursts through the door!  And then things get slapstick, confusing, slapstick again, a little weird, maudlin for a second, really really confusing, and finally Jon […]

Well heck, the last episode was certainly a bottle episode, never leaving Duttes Mer’s office, but this one is almost a bottle episode too, insofar as it’s set exclusively in […]

Bottle episode time!  These two entire chapters never leave the office of one of our two villains.  This time around, we’re going to meet Duttes Mer, the regional governer of […]

Oh my goodness it is a new book, and instead of dealing with Corran Horn for even one more goddamn second, we can finally hang with the cool man with […]

Time for the moment where we ask ourselves what the hell did we just read?  A little bit of final thoughts and a lot of listener questions, plus the big […]

And the rocket ride comes to a sudden stop.  And was Jef right last week? No!  Jef was only about 1/5th right!  Oh well, I guess those aren’t just the […]

As the title may suggest, this is a bit of a Batman set of chapters, as our hero sets about scaring all the pirates off the planet they live on.  […]

[/audio] Another episode, another few weeks spent in pirate town.  We have the big showdown with Remart, a whole chapter in Horn’s head (shudder) and we meet an exciting new […]

Chapter 36 opens with our new favorite phrase: “Several months later.”  The languid pace of this rescue is wild, right?  Anyway, all three chapters this week concern Corran’s attempts to […]

[/audio] Okay, here we go!  We’re done with the Jedi temple, we’re done with Grandpa’s house, time to finally rescue Mirax, all we gotta do is… join up with a […]

Obviously Corran is feeling a little down on himself for spending two and a half months at the Jedi academy instead of just looking for his wife, so the most […]

Ooh lots of ground to cover this week, as get this, Corran Horn is leaving Yavin 4!  With about half of the book left, will we finally start the book?  […]

The cavalcade of guest stars visiting Fantasy Planet continues, as we are now getting a chance to meet Han (again, remember!?) and Leia, along with the Solo twins, make brief […]

I can’t help but wonder just exactly how much of this book is Jedi school.  It became increasingly weird to deal with a book about a missing wife, clearly in […]

I looked at how the book was and realized this first person gimmick was going to wear out its welcome sooner rather than later, even if the book makes it […]

Well, this is it. Jas Hank, Wilwad Dia, and Rakker Jela are all brought by Xizor to Lothal, where the Space Boys (patent pending) are faced with their most difficult decision yet... THANK YOU everyone for hanging out during this fun experiment. We just may have to do another season like this as it was a ton of fun, plus who wouldn't want more Space Boys now that they're called The Space Boys! Our old school format of news, reviews and interviews will carry on over the next little while as we decide whats next for Wookiee of the Week, but thank you again everyone for tuning in and following along with the adventure.

Over and over I’m exposed to characters I’ve heard of, stories I faintly remember, but at each turn I’m confronted with the nagging fact that someone has been inserted into […]

After a little too much time noodling around on Coruscant, I found myself excited to finally get to the Jedi Factory.  Am I finally going to get connected to the […]

Intrigued, I perused further into the book.  “Nonsense!” I exclaimed!  It’s already chapter 7!  How is he still doodling around on Coruscant receiving praise from all his famous friends?  Surely […]

I looked to the opening lines of the novel and couldn’t believe my eyes.  A Star Wars novel written in first person?  Reviewing my long years of reading other EU […]

Time to take the long view of this game, also answer some questions AND announce the next book.  And let me tell you right here and now, it’s a doozy.

The final four chapters!  How does it all end, what with the murder being solved already?   Well obviously by wrapping up the loose ends and setting up the next book.  […]

We're baaaack! Sorry for the long holiday break, but we're back onto some Star Wars action going forward! This week, Wilwad gets reunited with his ol' pop Xizor, Rakker earns a visit from the tooth fairy, and Jas gets his socks rocked with an unexpected revelation about his past.

Well, this generally acceptable (and again, selected entirely off the title) book just succeeded in making us madder than every one of these Star Wars books since The Consent Gun […]

Laranth vs. Aurra Sing!  In hindsight this is sorta depressingly predictable.  Anyway they have a noir-grade showdown in the midst of a very weird festival, then Jax heads off to […]

This week in #StarWars #news and #rumors finds a new video game from the controversial studio Quantic Dream, a Nintendo Switch exclusive, casting of Amandla Stenberg in the Acolyte, #Haslab rancor update and #HighRepublic publishing updates.Game: StarWarsEclipse.comAcolyte: https://www.theilluminerdi.com/2021/12/08/the-acolyte-amandla-stenberg/ATGcast.comPatreon.com/ATGcastTwitter.com/ATGcastTikTok.com/ATGcastFacebook.com/ATGcastInstagram.com/ATGcast

Whoa, two chapters in a row that are a continuous story?  Don’t think we’ve seen that yet!  Anyhoo, the gang is still in “sit around bickering” mode, until Den kickstarts […]

We’re about 2/3rds of the way through the book, and for the first time ever any path that anyone is on seems like it might actually cross one of the […]

Den Dhur spends a little time wandering a big space market full of Wookiee Luau and disreputable merchandise, which he hates (Dhur hates everything), Typho adds bureaucrat to his already […]

Doing things in the wrong chapter order?  Why not?  It’s pandemonium gone wild as Aurra Sing continues to brag and lose, and Jax shows his… questionable side.

Back in action, just in time for the classic noir event of nursing a crappy drink in a low gin joint.  Den and Laranth finally meet the Cephalon, and everyone’s […]

Oh no, where once there was only intrigue, now there is… MURDER!  Who killed Ves Volette?  Who else is working an angle?  Rhaninn?  Laranth?  Certainly not our dear and trustworthy […]
