Luke Did Another Backflip (The Last Command) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Join Wing Commanders Hotlegs and Garth Mater as they finish off the Thrawn Trilogy with The Last Command by Timothy Zahn. you will not be surprised to learn that we hated this one! Has the Star Wars fandom been gaslighting everyone about these books? If only Zahn cared about art at all, maybe Thrawn would work! But alas, it was not done artfully. We had so much to complain about that we had to circle back to finish complaining after our segments. While editing, Wing Commander Hotlegs forgot to m

Join Fubar and Faendal as they discuss Star Wars: Book Two , which collects Mission From Mount Yoda , Queen of the Empire , and Prophets of the Dark Side , by Paul & Hollace Davids. They're just as bad and not as good as the ones from Star Wars: Book One . The prose is garbage and the absolute bonkers quality has been ratcheted down. This shit is so ass. (Don't worry listeners, Fubar did not have a stroke.) Topics of Discussion include: Everything happening so much; Tokyo Ghoul papercraft; Glenn

Bad morning to you, our evil listeners! In this episode of We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar , hosts Cammy and Baja Blast read Star Wars: Book One , which collects The Glove Of Darth Vader , The Lost City of the Jedi , and Zorba The Hutt's Revenge . They're even dumber than those titles suggest. There's a whale vacuum! We had a lot of fun. These books sucked very bad. A real "sure whatever who gives a shit, let Peggle 2 make calls" of a series. Topics of discussion include: Batman Black , The So
You Were Brief And Rather Incoherent (Dark Force Rising) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Well gang, this may be the last episode of We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar you ever listen to. Not because we're ending, we're not gonna stop for at least 11 years. No, it's because Vhrischtka and Jakhe Ph’eyke kind of hated Dark Force Rising by Timothy Zahn. We'll respect you if you don't want to follow us any longer. But the characters are uncompelling and don't believe in anything, the story is grounded in racism and sexism, and Timothy Zahn is no Steven Erikson. Topics of discussion includ
