Expounded Universe

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 stuff happens!  What a concept!

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 Lando sleeping on the floor under the Dejarik table.  Then other stuff happens!  Mohs breaks bad!

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 and Jef fight for like 10 minutes!  What an episode!

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 a series of bars.  Oh wait, that’s a pun too!  Hooray!  Lando gets started on his surprisingly vague assignment and we learn a little about the locals.

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 the Rafa star system, and his boss, A motherfucking lunatic SORCERER.  That’s right, it’s time to bring in Rokur Gepta, Sorcerer of Tund, from back in the days when everything didn’t have to be force powers.

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 the capes, the Tuxedo Mask of Star Wars, it’s Lando Calrissian!  This book series is very old (1983!) so get ready for a world free of the EU baggage, and a Lando free of owning a mining facility!

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 announcement of what we’re gonna do next!

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 Yavin students, but what are they then?  Surely no one would wait til the last 8 pages of a novel to introduce a HUGE new element of the Star Wars world, would they?

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.  For reasons.  I’m sure they make sense.  I assume it somehow has to do with rescuing Mirax in the next… four chapters?  What!?  But for now we’re really focused on using psychic powers to scare pirates.  Here we go.

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 coincidenc-I mean character, Elegos the Camaasi.
