Last month saw the release of the first novel in Phase III of The High Republic multimedia project. Set 200 years before the events of the Star Wars films, The High Republic tells the story of the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic at the height of their power and influence facing a chaotic enemy bent on destruction. Join me as I share my thoughts on George Mann's The Eye of Darkness, the first novel of Phase III.

This week on Random Trek, the intrepid Captain Ingle and I set a course for the 24th century and the far reaches of the Delta Quadrant! In this bold adventure, the USS Voyager encounters a photonic alien race who mistake Tom Paris' Captain Proton holodeck program for reality. In order to set things right, the crew must help complete the story of the particular episode of The Adventures of Captain Proton, and our brave Captain Janeway must fill the role of a lifetime! Join us as we go boldly!

On this week's episode of Random Trek, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the 24th century and the far reaches of the Federation at the station Deep Space 9. On this particular mission, Rom fights back against his brother Quark's diabolical Ferengi business practices by forming a union and demanding better pay and treatment. As you can imagine, things go haywire. Join us as we go boldly!

The creators of Star Wars have made it very clear that the Force exists in all living beings, and anyone can learn to use it with the proper discipline and training. One question that has yet to be officially answered is how the midi-chlorians fit in to this concept. Join me as I share some thoughts on how I think these microscopic lifeforms affect the ability to train in the Force.

The concept of media literacy has been a major talking point in many fandoms recently. Star Wars is no exception; some fans have been challenged by story decisions that they feel make no sense. Luke in The Last Jedi, Rey's abilities in the Force, Ahsoka's personality in her series are all examples of things some fans feel do not track. Join me as I share some thoughts about connecting the dots of the story as I give you a brief discussion of media literacy.

On this episode of our show, Captain Ingle and I finally set a course for the besieged Klatuu Nebula and the adventures of the NSEA Protector. That's right; it's time for the best non-Star Trek Star Trek film: the 2000 cult classic Galaxy Quest. In this story, the cast of a canceled science fiction series are abducted by a race of alien who has mistaken the broadcasts of the show for reality, and what follows is both hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt. But of course, we could not explore this film alone; joining us to share their thoughts are our good friends VideoDrew and NerdChronic. Join us as we go boldly!

25 years ago yesterday, the trailer to Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace was released. Allow me to share with you my memories of watching it for the first time all those years ago. Plus, because this is Thanksgiving week, allow me to share why I'm grateful for what is perhaps the greatest piece of marketing in the history of cinema.

On this week's episode of Random Trek, Captain Ingle and I set a course for the 24th century and the continuing voyages of the USS Enterprise-D. In this adventure, Captain Picard receives a message from an old friend warning him of a possible coup at the highest levels of Starfleet. Do his suspicions prove correct? Join us as we go boldly!

Even though I have covered each episode of Ahsoka in turn on my podcast, I have yet to discuss the series with guests on the show. Today, I am joined by good friends Alden Diaz and Nicky Kumar to explore the wonderful characters and deep lessons of the latest Star Wars series. We would be honored if you would join us!

It's been more than a year since Star Wars fans were completely blown away by a rather unexpected entry to the franchise: the political thriller Andor! I remember when the series was announced, I thought it was an interesting idea but I didn't pay much mind. Imagine my surprise when the show came out and rocked the fandom to it's core. Join as I discuss my thoughts on the show one year later. There's one way out!
