The History of Star Wars Publishing Part One: 1976 to 2014

EP.   199The Star Wars Expanded Universe — now known as Legends — was perhaps as sprawling, epic and varied as the galaxy itself. The real-world publishing saga may well be as interesting as the in-universe dramas told within those many, many pages. This week we chart this publishing timeline, from its humble origins, to its decisive turn into a staple of the fandom after the Original Trilogy, to its gripping interpretations of the Prequel Era and beyond on the eve of the Disney takeover.You can watch our episodes live every Monday at 5:30 PM PT, 8:30 PM ET at https://www.youtube.com/@Starwarsunderworld/streams Hosted by Matthew Neugebauer https://instagram.com/mneug1138 Joel Davis https://jid20234.bsky.socialBluesky: https://eyeoncanon.bsky.socialStar Wars Underworld Podcast Networkhttps://www.instagram.com/theswu/ Join us on Discord!  https://discord.gg/xhbXgRuuGxAudible 30-Day Free Trial  https://amzn.to/3cfeebq
