Galactic (Medical) Governance.

John and Matt discuss the challenges for any galactic government in the Star Wars Galaxy, whether Republic or Empire, to manage a truly robust healthcare system. They discuss coverage, cost and care, and the inevitable classism that would arise from the variance in medical capabilities between prosperous planetary systems and those on the fringes.

Expanded Universe Adaptations.

Matt and John discuss what additional material from the legendary Star Wars Expanded Universe they’d like to see adapted into big & small-screen material, both live action and animated, for modern audiences to experience. They challenge themselves to keep it limited to 5 sources each, but as with most things like this…they maybe went a little beyond that.

Jedi Book Club: Darth Plagueis.

It’s a special Halloween episode, with Matt and John looking back on and discussing James Luceno’s 2012 Star Wars Legends novel, Darth Plagueis. Listen in as they discuss the #Sith Lord who discovered many things that some would consider…unnatural. What did they think of how the novel ties everything together? Is it a deft reworking of the known story, or a lore bridge too far?
