One of the best things about the Star Wars Legends community is the wonderful network of like-minded fans who all share our love of these fantastic stories and characters. We connected with one such new friend of ours is Kyle (Xezene), the creator of a tremendous undertaking—detailed, a multi-part, behind the scenes account of the making of the New Jedi Order. He went back in the archives and conducted brand new interviews to find all of the personal accounts of what went down all those years ago to form this unbelievably ambitious storytelling initiative. We ask Kyle all about what it took to tackle such a big project, as well as just general nerding out about the NJO. Thanks to the folks at Legacy Expo for bringing us together. Recorded on September 13th in Burbank, CA.

In this episode we explore the lore of Revan and Malak, their triumphs, their falls to the dark side, and their brutal breakup with galaxy-spanning consequences. We'll explore the brilliant tactical minds of Revan and Malak and their sudden, shocking fall to the dark side. We cover their motivations and the philosophical seeds that led them to forge a new Sith Empire

At Legacy Expo we had the unbelievable opportunity to talk with one of the early architects of the Expanded Universe—Barbara Hambly! We reflected on her experiences writing Children of the Jedi, Planet of Twilight, as well as short stories in Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina and Tales from Jabba’s Palace. She took us on a thrilling adventure down memory lane, recounting some of the behind-the-scenes action that resulted in the creation of these epic tales we all know and love.

You’re going to love getting to know Freddy’s new best friend, Christian Gossett. Artist on Tales of the Jedi and creator of the double-bladed lightsaber, Christian helped shape a beloved era of Star Wars back in the 90s. We became fast friends and learned so much from his mindset, approach, work ethic, and personality. Enjoy!

Another great interview with an absolute legend of a Star Wars Legends author is headed your way! In this interview we talk with Matthew Stover about the making of the Revenge of the Sith novelization, the behind-the-scenes of the new Deluxe Edition, what goes into writing psychological mind-bending books, morally grey characters, and so much more. He’s such a great person to talk to and we can’t wait for you to hear it.

Our suitcases are unpacked, swag is everywhere, and so are the memories. In this episode we will continue our Knights of the Old Republic deep dive with the planet we all love to hate—Taris. We’ll talk about the gangs, the dueling ring, the Rancor, and of course the Rakghouls. But first, a briefish update on Legacy Expo.

Have you ever heard the legend of James Luceno the wise? Now you can hear from this brilliant author directly from the source because Jared and Freddy sat down with him for a phenomenal chat at Legacy Expo. He is the author of great Star Wars books like Darth Plagueis, Cloak of Deception, Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, and several books in the New Jedi Order including its epic finale, The Unifying Force. We asked him about the development of the NJO, many mind-blowing behind-the-scenes details, and also what it was like crafting such a dark and twisted tale as Darth Plagueis. You’re going to love this one.

Recorded in front of a live, in-person audience, Jared and Freddy recorded this episode on September 14th at Legacy Expo in Burbank, California. This special episode is a philosophical exploration into what makes the dark side so seductive by analyzing the journeys of specific Legends characters including the great Sith of the EU: Darth Revan, Darth Bane, Darth Plagueis, and Darth Caedus. They recap each individual's fall to the dark side, debate their motivations and rationale, and discuss what sets these particular characters apart as Sith Lords. They then include an opportunity for Legacy Expo attendees to give their input on what makes each of these characters memorable to the EU today.

Freddy and Jared had the special opportunity to attend Legacy Expo in Burbank, California on September 13th & 14th in which they got to sit down with some spectacular special guests to talk all about the EU. Sean Stewart, author of the fan-favorite book, Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, gave us some mind-blowing insights into how he thinks and what went into this amazing novel. Join us as we celebrate the book’s special edition release as collector’s edition hardcover version from our friends at Inkstone Books—signed by Stewart himself!
