Buckle up, Padawans, because this isn't your average galactic sightseeing tour. We're trading in the sun-drenched surface of Tatooine and the bustling markets of Mos Eisley for a pilgrimage to the darkest, most twisted corners of a galaxy far, far away. This is the Ultimate Dark Side Road Trip, a journey through the most sinister destinations of Star Wars Legends.

Now that we’ve finished our 19-book excursion through the Yuuzhan Vong Wars, it’s time for a grand retrospective look at the New Jedi Order as a whole. We’re breaking down the highs and the lows, the tremendous amount of Vong lore, and the standout character moments.

WE DID IT! In this episode, we dive into Star Wars: The New Jedi Order – The Unifying Force, exploring how the final battle for Coruscant and the galaxy’s bold strategy bring the Yuuzhan Vong War to its dramatic close. As always, we tackle big plot questions—like the role of Zonama Sekot and the surprising choice to end the conflict with mercy—as well as character‑focused moments, from Jacen’s pivotal confrontation with Shimrra to Nom Anor’s slippery schemes. Along the way, we celebrate the heroism, sacrifices, and unexpected twists that make this finale a heartfelt and unforgettable capstone to the NJO saga.

Summer is upon us! That means many of us have extra time where we're taking road trips, sitting by the pool, or taking time off work. In between the ice cream and wrangling the kiddos who are home from school, we're trying to squeeze a few books in here and there. So we thought it would be fun to run down a few categories for our summer reading bucket lists. 

In this episode, we dive deep into The Final Prophecy, the penultimate novel in the New Jedi Order series. From living planets and false prophecies to space cults and surprise character arcs, we unpack the wild plot twists, the deeper themes of identity and belief, and the slow redemption—or total unraveling—of Nom Anor. Whether you’re here for the sci-fi intrigue, Jedi heroics, or to hear us try to explain the Yuuzhan Vong’s theology, this one’s a prophecy worth fulfilling.

With the recent release of Season 2 of the acclaimed live action Star Wars series, Andor, on Disney + has come a spotlight on one of the architects of the Rebellion, Mon Mothma. Portrayed in the series by Genevieve O’Reilly, reprising the role after her appearance in Rogue One after being CUT from Revenge of the Sith, she has brought the beloved character back into the limelight. Despite her originally only receiving a whopping 26 seconds of screentime in Return of the Jedi, played by the actor Caroline Blakiston, we’re here to set the record straight from a Legends perspective because we’ve known she’s one of the GOATs for decades.

In this episode, we dive into the heart of Force Heretic, exploring the galaxy-spanning quest to find Zonama Sekot and the character-driven moments that make the journey unforgettable. We unpack the emotional growth of characters like Tahiri, Jacen, and Saba, while also laughing at Nom Anor's cockroach-like survivability and lovesick pilots in the middle of a war. Along the way, we discuss themes of healing, identity, and what happens when the Force itself sends you a message—via Anakin Skywalker, no less. Whether you’re here for deep Jedi philosophy or want to hear more about the mystery of the planet Zonoma Sekot, this episode has something for every Star Wars fan.

Although the jetlag has left him scarred and deformed, Freddy C is BACK from Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo, Japan. He’s here to tell us all about his experience and be our tour guide to all the Legends-related info that came out of the convention. We’ll speculate about Starfighter, the Legends references in Andor Season 2, and of course Maul: Shadow Lord and the mysterious red-skinned Twi’lek—could it be Darth Talon? Listen to find out what we think.

Crank up your time machines as we blast back to 2005 as we revisit Revenge of the Sith for its 20th anniversary. We're joined by Youtini writer Gea Haff for a mythological breakdown of this beloved film. We talk about our experiences of first seeing the film, the joy of returning to the theater for a revisit, and of course Legends recommendations that enrich the story.

We're gearing up for a fantastic fan convention—Legends Expo! Joining us are two of the event's organizers, Katherine and Corinthia. They're here to tell us all about this event and why Legends fans should attend. We not only talk about the convention, our love for the Star Wars EU, but cosplay, our favorite authors, and of course hot tubs. Get your tickets to Legends Expo while you can still snag the earlybird discount! Visit legends-expo.com to get tickets. Legends Expo will be September 13th and 14th in Burbank, CA.
