This week on The Penny Men, Ben, Tom, and Gregory pry open the carbonite-sealed vault of Star Wars Legends—because somebody had to suffer so you don’t have to!

We start by debating the lost art of fight pacing, from kung fu cinema’s lightning kicks to wrestling’s slow-burn feuds, and how those ideas crash-land into the galaxy far, far away! Then we hit hyperspace into the weirdest corners of the Expanded Universe, where the rules of canon are made up and the names are blue!

Topics:

• Grand Admiral Thrawn makes his big brain debut
• Mara Jade shows up to make everyone nervous
• Han Solo accidentally wins an entire planet in a card game
• Luke falls in love with a computer (sure)
• Emperor Palpatine refuses to stay dead—coming back not once, not twice, but so many times you start rooting for the guy!

We talk about:

• The Sun Crusher (a ship that’s somehow stronger than the Death Star)
• The Force witches of Dathomir
• And the questionable fashion choices of 1990s sci-fi art!

Expect tangents about

• Remington Steele
• Zorro
• John Bravo
• The Courtship of Luke’s Sister (oops)
• And why every clone has to spell their name with an extra “u!”

It’s lore overload, but we’re doing it for you!

Buckle up as the Penny Men wrestle with the wildest Expanded Universe stories ever printed—because once you’ve stared into the abyss of Legends, the abyss starts quoting Timothy Zahn back at you!
