Hard Merchandise Chapters 8–10: Boba Fett's Tech Riddle
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! This week's Article From the Archives: Ringers Full...
-
Hard Merchandise Chapters 5–7: Dump Truck Thorax
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...
-
Hard Merchandise Chapters 1–4: A Sad State of Affairs
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...

OSW Interlude #26: A Mercy Kill
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...
-
Imperial Commando: 501st: Chapters 15–End: Dude Altis
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…

Imperial Commando: 501st: Chapters 13–14: Schrödinger's Canonicity
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...
-
Imperial Commando: 501st: Chapters 10–12: Presumably
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...
-
Imperial Commando: 501st: Chapters 7–9
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…
more -
Imperial Commando: 501st: Chapters 4–6
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…
more -
Imperial Commando: 501st: Chapters 1-3
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! This week's Article From the Archives: H4b…

OSW Interlude #25 - Crawling Out of the Cave and Back Into the Glow of the Twin Suns
Good. Lord. Can you believe we disappeared for that long? It's honestly upsetting. But that's all behind us now. Hopefully you kept up on your Shadow Games reading? Obviously I kid! We're just happy to be back, so we jump right in and deliver our finest interlude in at least two years, and all...
-
OSW Interlude #24 - Wanna See Me Do It Again?
This might be the biggest Star Wars podcast ever recorded. That's probably hyperbole, but I don't even care because it certainly felt that way. We cover not one but TWO episodes of THE MANDALORIAN leading up to the season finale and of course everything that dropped at STAR WARS CELEBRATION....

Order 66 Chapters 15-20 - Wam Sitwer
Happy Mandalorian Season 3 day everyone!!! Two episodes inside a week? How unlike us! But unfortunately this week's reading ends on what just might be the most painful cliffhanger that this show has ever had to endure. For next week, finish the book! This week's Article From the Archives:...
-
Order 66 Chapters 10-14: Starring All Over the Place
After a brief (and unintended) break, we've returned with the next set of chapters for ORDER 66. Anakin said that "this is where the fun begins," but I'm not feeling like things are actually going to be that fun. Also, we talked about Star Trek for the first 35 minutes. Sorry. This week's Article...
-
Order 66 Chapters 7-9: Big Oof Chapters
Zey is side-eyeing Kal and the Nulls, the government is side-eyeing Besany (in a manner of speaking), and Darman gets some news and... reacts. This week's Article From the Archives: Edruu
-
Order 66 Chapters 4-6: Callista
Oof. This episode is late. Sorry about that. Just please do not blame Cole for my transgression. Anyway, I feel like I'm always writing that things are getting rough for our heroes in these books, but somehow things keep getting worse. This week's Article From the Archives: Black Level
-
Order 66 Prologue-Chapter 3: Justice for Tuvix
HELLO 2023!!! I don't know what that is as far as Stardates go, but that's only somewhat relevant on this episode. Trekkie nonsense aside, we're picking back up with the Omegas in ORDER 66 by Karen Traviss! I don't know about you, but I'm not ready. This week's Article From the Archives: Rocket...

OSW Interlude #23: 40-Year-Old Fanfic
Surprise! We're back. Before we even thought we'd be, really. And we're all over the place! Hunting down weird out of place MIDI music, looking at a Star Wars fan zine from 40 years ago, a battle that MIGHT have something to do with Geroon, and way more Mandalorian season 3 speculation than I...
-
Path of Destruction Chapters 28-End: Sithual?
The end has finally come. The bouncers have lost their mind, the Thought Bomb is ready to detonate, and Bane is SO ready to be done with all of these idiots. Also: emails, Wookieepedia updates, and Mando/Jedi Survivor news! This week's Article From the Archives: Tregan
-
Path of Destruction Chapters 23-27: Weak-Minded Fools
Ben finished Legacy of the Force: Bloodlines (spoilers end at about 46:30) and he is in PAIN. So naturally there is a lot of discussion about that since Andor talk happened on Skyhoppers this week. But then Darth Bane almost dies twice and sets his greater plans in motion (not necessarily in that...
-
Path of Destruction Chapters 18-22: Mountains Vs. Valleys
Acolyte news! Andor continues to be amazing! And Darth Bane is up to his usual Dark Side shenanigans and we love him for it for some reason. This week's Article From the Archives: West Championne
-
Path of Destruction Chapters 13-17: All of the Star, None of the War
In an effort to talk through some of our questions about Andor, we just end up with more questions. But we're only halfway through this season, so I'll allow it. We then discuss whether or not Bane is Big Stupid, how Githany is so stunningly beautiful that everyone forgets how to live, and…

Path of Destruction Chapters 7-12: Flashbung
This week "Des" finally finds his way to the Sith Academy and, well... kills somebody. I don't think anyone is shocked. BUT. It does lead to a lot of interesting characterization, which is what we're here for at the end of the day. Also ANDOR. The EYE!!! This week's Article From the Archives:...
-
Path of Destruction Chapters 1-6: Bad Vibes
We pick up with Bane--ER--I mean "Des" at a pretty rough spot in his life, but he decides he's gonna make the best of it. We also meet one of two good Neimoidians in the entire galaxy and learn the intricacies of this particular variant of Sabaac. This week's Article From the Archives: Slickplast...
-
OSW Interlude #22: Telbun Rael
We haven't recorded since Andor has come out, so we understanadbly spend a lot of time talking about ancient Imperial advisors and AK-47s. For next week, read chapters 1-6 of DARTH BANE: PATH OF DESTRUCTION by Drew Karpyshyn! This week's Article From the Archives: Endurance-class fleet carrier
-
Slave Ship Chapters 13-End: Chekov's Zuckuss
To wrap up our coverage of SLAVE SHIP by K.W. Jeter, Bossk makes the foolish mistake of thinking an author would let him be smarter than Boba Fett, some of Neelah's background gets revealed, and Kuat of Kuat cracks open a cold one. This week's Article From the Archives: Nuna drumsticks
-
Slave Ship Chapters 9-12: Receipts
Rogue One IMAX re-release! Andor preview! Competent Bossk! Math spider's revenge? All this and more... on Obroa-Skai Walkers! This week's Article From the Archives: Inat Prime System
-
Slave Ship Chapters 5-8: Fett Meat
A day late, but hopefully not a dollar short! This week we've got some very... chewy(?) chapters of Slave Ship, but they give us plenty to chat about all the same. This week's Article From the Archives: Diblen Harleys's father
-
Slave Ship Chapters 1-4: Simping for Jeter
After some speculation about the inner workings of the Star Wars video game industrial complex, we get into some Andor #hype and then into the first four chapters of SLAVE SHIP. Jeter can do no wrong! This week's Article From the Archives: Levi Schoen
-
OSW Interlude #21: Embrace the Pain
If you're looking to skip the Legacy of the Force: Betrayal spoilers, skip to here: 1:18:40 We've got an interlude! We've got Shadows of the Sith! We've got an email! We've got three months of tiny news blurbs in the span of 45 minutes! It's good to be back, friends Belvaria System
-
True Colors Chapters 16-End: We'll See
This will be a long remembered. It has seen the end of Kenobi, and it will soon see the end of True Colors, the latter of which will leave our heroes in the best spot we've seen them in to date... right? Also inside: Emails! Kenobi! Custom figures! This one's got it all! This week's Article From...
-
True Colors Chapters 14-15: Chronologically Challenged
Sorry, Kenobi isn't Legends but come on... how are we supposed to NOT talk about last week's episode at least for a bit? We're excited to see where things go from here! And for once, everything isn't totally doom and gloom in True Colors world! Just mostly doom and gloom as things tend to be for...
-
True Colors Chapters 11-13: He'll Be FINE
After a full 45 minutes of Kenobi discussion and speculation and then a completely logical progression of the discussion into Crimson Empire, we're covering a VERY important set of three chapters from True Colors. Don't even know what's happening here. This week's Article From the Archives…

True Colors Chapters 8-10: I've Never Wanted an Audit So Bad
At this point I'm done saying that these are getting rough for our cast of heroes (and Walon Vau). Things are ALWAYS rough for these folks. But before things get bad, we discuss Celebration, Kenobi clips, and... Barbara Hambly? This week's Article From the Archives: Ersheg Ben's Twitter Cole's...
-
True Colors Chapters 5-7: It's Complicated
Ben's building a database, Bill Slavicsek is a god, and more Luke Skywalker deepfake discourse! Oh, and things for the Omega boys and their friends are getting REAL sticky. Chapters 5-7 this week! This week's Article From the Archives: Spice cigar
-
True Colors Chapters 2-4: Big Dad Energy
WOW. Two weeks without an episode? Unacceptable. Please forgive us. But we're back now, and things are getting a little weird for our little clone buddies. This week's Article From the Archives: Sarliss Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library
-
"Odds" and True Colors Chapter 1: For Real This Time
Okay everyone, we're sorry about last week. Somehow we both read the wrong book. True Colors has nothing to do with the Glove of Darth Vader after all! And I think it's made much better for it. Chapter 1 and "Odds" this week! This week's Article From the Archives: Zeller Ben's Twitter Cole's...
-
Odds and True Colors Chapter 1 - Dadgumit
Welcome back to the Clone Wars! Things are terrible here! But thankfully TRUE COLORS is at least enjoyable to read! This week's Article From the Archives: OB-2B Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library
-
OSW Interlude #20: Fandom Fermentation
Ben is reading The New Rebellion! Obi-Wan had a trailer! New editions of Legends books are coming! We also discuss the fact that Star Wars fans left to their own devices can get a little... antsy. And we're reading TRUE COLORS by Karen Traviss! Read the short story "Odds" and up through chapter 1...
-
The Mandalorian Armor Chapters 18-End: Splat
Celebration badges are going back on sale soon, we are officially going(!), and Ben is reading Midnight Horizon! But the main event is obviously the end of THE MANDALORIAN ARMOR, which certainly doesn't go out with a whimper. This week's Article From the Archives: Roson Driver Ben's Twitter…
more -
The Mandalorian Armor Chapters 16-17: The Bone Chamber
Apparently this is our second to last reading for THE MANDALORIAN ARMOR and I'm mad about it. As is typical with this book, some mysteries unravel this week while others only deepen. You'll have to listen to find out which does what! Or you could just read the book without us, but why would you…

The Mandalorian Armor Chapters 12-15: Space Reno
This week in OSW: rumors and leaks, Ben's brief review of The Old Republic's version 7.0 expansion Legacy of the Sith, and of course, frickin DUDE WITH A FRICKIN LASER BEAM ATTACHED TO HIS FRICKIN HEAD. This week's Article From the Archives: Xephi Sep Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers...
-
The Mandalorian Armor Chapters 7-11: We Are Not the Same
Two weeks in a row! A new record! We touch on everything that went on in Episode 6 of The Book of Boba Fett because it'd be literally impossible to not do that, but then THE MANDALORIAN ARMOR begins in earnest! More plots than a cemetery. This week's Article From the Archives: Briefing cabin…
more -
The Mandalorian Armor: Chapters 1-6
It's been too long since we talked about home releases, don't you think? So we get to some of that, but not before we talk about... the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles? Weird. Not sure how that got there. But then we FINALLY go off about the first six chapters of THE MANDALORIAN ARMOR by K.W.…

OSW Interlude #19: Caveats on Caveats
I don't know about y'all, patrons, but I hear that Aerosmith song playing! You know the one. After a hiatus that went on much too long, we're back to shoot the breeze about Boba Fett and so many bugs! At one point Cole almost accidentally says "snooniverse" and he thought I didn't notice, but I...
-
2021: A Year In Review
As the title suggests, this isn't a new book or even a proper interlude. We were SUPPOSED to record an episode of Skyhoppers, but when Cole and I get left alone, it basically turns into this show anyway so we just went ahead and did that on purpose. We take a look back at the books we read in…

Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor Chapters 17-End: In the Mouth of Kar Vastor
We had some trouble getting together to get this one recorded at first, but now we're here to deliver the last two chapters of LUKE SKYWALKER AND THE SHADOWS OF MINDOR. But not before we get bogged down in talking about other Star Wars stuff for a while first 😈 This week's Article From the...
-
Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor Chapters 15-16: Emperor Luke the First
Force suns, flying volcanoes, and projectile black holes: Mindor has it all baby! Or what's left of it, anyway. Chapters 15-16 this week! This week's Article From the Archives: Retribution (Discril-class) Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library
-
Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor Chapters 12-14: "Slightly More Cronal" Luke
I guess it wouldn't be COMPLETELY unrealistic to say that you saw this week's cliffhanger coming, but I would definitely be giving you a side eye because it hit ME like a ton of bricks. Chapters 12-14 of Shadows of Mindor coming at you fast! This week's Article From the Archive: Metanecrons Ben's...
