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. Become a patron to get access to the bonus episodes or support the show through Paypal and bitcoin!

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.

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.

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.
