Star Lores - A Star Wars Legends Podcast

Every fleet has an edge: special forces sent in when regular soldiers can't get the job done. This episode we break down the Alliance's SpecForce: brutal selection, grueling training, rigid division structure, and the petty rivalry with their SpecOps cousins. Then regiment by regiment, starting with the Marines who boarded enemy ships in zero-g and the Pathfinders who slipped in ahead of everyone else. Real mission case studies included, Operation Cobolt, the Nishr campaign, and the strike team at Endor.

Stranded on Endor, we uncover the Sanyassans, the reptilian "Marauders" behind King Terak's fortress in the Dragon's Pelt savanna. We trace their fall from an advanced civilization shattered by the Din supernova to a might-makes-right raider culture, their brutal reign over the Forest Moon under Terak, Charal, and General Yavid, and their sudden vanishing after Terak's death. Along the way: cargo-cult technology, exonyms and outsider naming, and what a fictional species' Legends history reveals about how real history gets written by outsiders.

The Millennial Falcon is parked in the hangar bay for some routine maintenance, and the crew is pulling up a seat for dejarik, sabacc, and a deep dive into the week's biggest Star Wars headlines. On deck: Star Wars Theory's self-funded Vader Episode 2 – Echoes of the Jedi (a six-figure labor of love Disney wouldn't touch), the underwhelming box office of The Mandalorian and Grogu, Ewan McGregor's renewed pitch to keep telling Obi-Wan stories, the surprisingly strong critical reception of Maul: Shadow Lord, first reactions to the Ahsoka Season 2 trailer, and a look ahead to Star Wars Zero Company. Plus, a spicy hot take on the Ewoks, a fan theory from Reddit put to the test, and first impressions on whatever else is floating through the galaxy this week. Grab a drink, settle in, and join the crew for a laid-back hang in the hangar bay.

Our ship went down on Endor, the forest moon that would one day decide the fate of the galaxy. In this episode of Star Lores, we explore the world beneath the canopy: the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village, the sinister Sanyassan Marauders and their Force-witch Charal, the spirits bound to Soul Trees, and the strange menagerie of boar-wolves, condor dragons, and Gorax that stalk its forests. It's a surprisingly deep corner of Star Wars Legends, shaped by decades of films, comics, and cartoons. And we're just getting started exploring it.

THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS

Star Wars is back in theaters for the first time in seven years — but did it need to be? In this episode, we break down The Mandalorian and Grogu, Jon Favreau's big-screen continuation of the Clan of Two. Din Djarin is working for the New Republic now, hunting Imperial warlords across the Outer Rim — until a job for the Hutts pulls him and Grogu into the galactic underworld.

We talk about what works, what feels like an extended TV episode, and whether the jump to theaters actually earns the ticket price. Plus: Rotta the Hutt's live-action debut, the Zeb Orrelios crossover, Embo's return from The Clone Wars, and yes, that Martin Scorsese casting.

Star Wars Legends deep dive continues! In Part 2 of our Cuy'val Dar episode, we put names and faces to "those who no longer exist" — the individual instructors Jango Fett hand-picked to train the Republic's clone commandos on Kamino. We profile Mandalorian legends like Kal Skirata , Walon Vau, Mij Gilamar, Rav Bralor, Vhonte Tervho, plus non-Mandalorian trainers Cort Davin and Kligson and the Death Watch-aligned extremists Dred Priest and Isabet Reau. From paternal mentors and battlefield medics to brutal survivalists and ideological zealots, discover how these Expanded Universe figures shaped clone identity, Mandalorian culture, and the elite soldiers of the Clone Wars.

The Cuy'val Dar were the one hundred trainers — seventy-five of them Mandalorians — handpicked by Jango Fett to forge the Republic's clone commandos in secret on Kamino. In this Star Wars Legends deep dive, Star Lores explores "those who no longer exist": Kal Skirata, Walon Vau, Mij Gilamar, Rav Bralor, and the mercenaries, bounty hunters, and assassins who shaped clone individuality, Mandalorian culture, and the elite soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic. From the Republic Commando saga and the Clone Wars to Kyrimorut, Death Watch, and the legacy that echoed into the Yuuzhan Vong War, we break down the men and women who built an army and vanished.

During the Clone Wars, Darth Sidious and Count Dooku assembled the Dark Acolytes — a network of Dark Jedi and fallen Force-users who served the Confederacy as assassins, spies, and commanders, yet were forever barred from true Sith status by the Rule of Two. In this episode of Star Lores, we explore the most feared dark side adepts of the CIS, from Asajj Ventress and Savage Opress to Sev'rance Tann, Quinlan Vos, and Sora Bulq, and how Darth Sidious used them to corrode galactic faith in the Jedi Order.
