August 26, 2020 Execute Chapter 66 - Alphabet Squadron
The Skywalker saga may be over, but there are enough books to keep Star Wars fans satisfied for years to come. Chad, Ryan, and Beth have started a series to keep you up to date on all the action. Join our book club as we run down the best that canon, legends, and comics have to offer.

A ragtag group of heroes going up against a seemingly unstoppable force may sound like a trope. It is, but it's a trope that works well in the Star Wars universe. The problem with the first book of a series is that you can sometimes spend a little too much time in set up. Whether that's true or not for Alphabet Squadron is a matter of personal opinion, but there are some good things going on here. Plus, if you're like Beth and haven't gotten through the Aftermath series yet this is a time period you won't have seen in the new canon before.

August 05, 2020 Execute Chapter 66 - Shadows of the Empire
The Skywalker saga may be over, but there are enough books to keep Star Wars fans satisfied for years to come. Chad, Ryan, and Beth have started a series to keep you up to date on all the action. Join our book club as we run down the best that canon, legends, and comics have to offer.

In the late 90's Shadows of the Empire was a pretty big deal. There was a book, a video game, toys, and various other things revolving around this ambitious project. For better or worse it's been moved back into the realm of legends, but we still wanted to talk about it. Some things in the old expanded universe have aged better than others, and this book was very different than we remembered. Join us for a strange trip down memory lane as we look back at Shadows of the Empire.
