We're finally back after an impromptu break to talk about HARD MERCHANDISE. Why does Palpatine look like that? Who's reading "Heirs of the Force?" Is everything dead destined to forever stay that way? All of these questions and more this week!

In a bit of a shorter episode this week, we open with some discussion of the upcoming 2027 release of A New Hope back into theaters and the relevant news from NYCC, including the new Kyle Katarn Black Series figure. But then it's finally time to catch up with our favorite bounty hunters and say good by to the thiccest spider the galaxy has ever known.

The hotly-anticipated return to THE BOUNTY HUNTER WARS by K.W. Jeter begins with the first four chapters of HARD MERCHANDISE. I was hotly anticipating it, anyway. And we've got a lot of catching up to do: Zuckuss and 4-LOM, Bossk, Neelah, Dengar, and of course, Boba Fett. But first: The Mask of Fear, sandtroopers, and albino hyenas.

Hello there! We've returned for yet another interlude, and this time around we're talking about what's going on with Star Wars movies in general, what happened to "the Edwards Cut" of Rogue One, what makes Lucasfilm get the ick from any given director, and a heretofore-unknown-to-us category of Wookieepedia article that answers SO many of our questions.

In what is likely to be the most frustrating ending ever to be covered on this podcast, we reach the finale of IMPERIAL COMMANDO: 501ST this week. Great book, great series, but tragically cut down in its prime. But we think the ride was worth the pain, and hopefully you all do as well. See you in a few weeks!

Our trip through the REPUBLIC COMMANDO series might be drawing to a close, but it ain't over yet! One of our minor characters takes a tragic left turn, another minor character makes an incredibly violent right turn, and a major character from something else makes an appearance and becomes yet another minor character in this book! Oh, and our favorite Clones and Mandos get up to their usual shenanigans. For next week, finish the book!

Wouldn't you know it? Things end up just how we thought they might on Coruscant. They might be ever so slightly better, but not as good as they would be if everyone was where they were supposed to be. But life goes on! Holy Roly gets put in his place, Ny faces interrogation a la Null ARC, and Fi breaks our hearts. All of this and more in chapters 10–12 of 501ST: IMPERIAL COMMANDO. For next week, read chapters 13 and 14.

In so many ways, it feels like we've truly hit the calm before the storm, dear library patrons. The extraction plan is in motion, and it's going FAR too smoothly for comfort. Also: there's a "crisis" on Gibad and a new Imperial commander that is absolutely going to be more trouble than he's worth. For next week, read chapters 10, 11, and 12.

Things keep trucking along, both on Coruscant and in Kyrimorut! That said, I'm uneasy. Everything seems to be going just a bit too smoothly. But first, we dig into Mando'a, Pammant, and… Star Wars: Club Penguin?

Also, thanks to Josh for the email this week! If you want to be cool like Josh and send us an email, get at us over at [email protected].

We did it! We can read! And things aren't too terribly sad yet, but all the ingredients are there: Darman and Niner are stuck with the Empire, Kyrimorut is going just a bit too well for comfort, and Ko Sai is... in a freezer? Next week: chapters 4-7!
