July 17, 2025 306 - Mimban Number Five
You can't get earlier Star Wars EU novels than this right here. Welcome to the "sequel in case the sequels didn't happen" of Star Wars, where the force was still mysterious and Luke didn't know who his sister was.

Why, it's the twilight of Jedi Twilight! And frankly? Good.

June 03, 2025 304 - Don't Call it a Comeback
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!

May 07, 2025 303 - All I Need Is A Miracle
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?

April 24, 2025 302 - Here Comes a Special Droid
Honestly, I-5 isn't even super important here, we just think it's so funny how he keeps having a module for exactly what the group needs every time. Really, this is the "Xizor Makes His Move" set of chapters.

April 10, 2025 301 - A Special Pinch
Man is I-5 ever useful. But who's also a protocol droid with a weird gun hand that everyone wants to know about? I bet you all forgot about Bug Eyes, who is theoretically the MacGuffin of this production, and who JUST TURNED UP. Yeah!

March 26, 2025 300 - Slut Plate Summer
Well dang, this was episode 300? Then I guess we shall podcast in the shade. In today's episode Jax and the gang escape some droid police (DROID POLICE, BEEP BEEP BEEP) on flying Segways, while Rhinann whines and Nick Rostu... also kinda whines.

March 12, 2025 299 - Pardon My French, But Jax Pavan is an Asshole
Oh hey, this book has act breaks! And we just found what might be the only one! You can tell because I-5 finally finds Jax Pavan. Who is an asshole about it.

February 26, 2025 298 - Rostu on the Smuggle Bus
This episode is a Jax-free space. We focus on Den, we check in with Nick Rostu, and somehow Kaird is still kicking around, but we aren't seeing what's up with Jax and Laranth. Also, Rhinan is making strong moves towards just ruining the Empire's public relations division.

February 12, 2025 297 - Rokko's Modern Light
Finally Laranth turns up, and she brings with her something we were missing last time we did this series, an explanation of what a Gray Paladin is exactly (besides the lamest D&D character that your lamest gaming buddy won't shut up about). Meanwhile, Dhur is a reporter and Nick is apparently a gambler, but good news! Joyous news! It's not sabacc!
