Worried about his niece and nephew, Hoole decides to take them to Hologram Fun World and leaves them there while he chases down leads elsewhere in the galaxy.
Today we discuss Retreat from Coruscant, the next short story in Tales from the Empire. Taryn Clancy delivers mail throughout the Core Systems. She’s on Coruscant making a routine delivery when the unthinkable happens. The New Republic’s capital comes under attack by Imperial forces. She, and the New Republic, quickly flee the planet. This story helps bridge the gap between the original Thrawn trilogy and Dark Empire.
Today we continue the Young Jedi Knights series with The Lost Ones. Jacen, Jaina, Tenel Ka, and Lowbacca are visiting Coruscant to see one of the twins' old childhood friends, Zekk. He’s a little older than they are and lives in the underbelly of the New Republic capital. But the Shadow Academy comes calling and their friendship will never be the same again.
Today we discuss Missed Chance, the next short story in Tales from the Empire. Corran Horn is on the run and hiding out on Garqi. He's just trying to live his life and avoid the fight between the Rebellion and Empire, but he’s quickly drawn into the conflict when a local Imperial steps over the line.
Today we continue the Young Jedi Knights series with Shadow Academy. A rival school to Luke's Jedi Academy has been founded, and they've kidnapped three of Luke's students.

Today we begin the Young Jedi Knights series. Jacen and Jaina Solo are students at the Yavin IV Academy. They've already made one close friend with Tenel Ka, and soon meet another in Lowbacca. The four friends find a crashed TIE Fighter out in the jungle, and things will never be the same again.
Today we discuss Tinian on Trial, the next short story in Tales from the Empire. Tinian I'att and her family are designing better stormtrooper armor for the Empire. With the money they make from the deal, Tinian's grandparents plan to retire, while she and her fiance Daye Azur-Jamin take over the factory. However, Moth Kerioth has other plans for the family.
Today we discuss Survivor's Quest. The Chiss have found the remains of Outbound Flight. The Skywalkers journey to the Unknown Regions to see its remains and are joined by the Chiss, a New Republic ambassador who isn’t, and a species who owe their survival to Outbound Flight. But none of them are prepared for what they find within the wreckage of the ship.
Today we discuss Fool's Bargain, a novella prequel to Survivor's Quest. The Empire of the Hand has come to Kariek to capure the Warlord, but some of the soldiers wonder why they are trying to capture him and not just destroy the fortress he's hiding in.
We jump back in time and discuss Outboud Flight. Jorus C’baoth is determined to get Outbound Flight off the ground, while Palpatine plans to destroy it and all the Jedi on board. In the Unknown Regions, Jorj Car’das comes into contact with an unknown species, the Chiss. The group he meets is led by a young commander named Thrawn. And for some reason, Obi-Wan and Anakin are in this book for the first two-thirds of it.
Today we start discussing Tales from the Empire with First Contact. Talon Karrde is investigating a safari on Varonat. The safari is run by Gamgalon, a Krish who Karrde knows is up to something. While there, he meets a young hyperdrive mechanic with red hair who instantly makes an impression on him.
Today we finish the Junior Jedi Knights series with Kenobi's Blade. Uldir just wants to be a Jedi but the Jedi Academy isn’t working for him. Getting desperate, he makes a choice that leads him down a dark path. Anakin, Tahiri, Tionne, Ikrit, and R2 go after their friend, hoping to save him before it’s too late.
We'e been doing this podcast for four years! Come celebrate with us as we look back at the good, the bad, and the in-between of the stories that we've read over the past year.
Today we discuss the entirety of Tales of the Bounty Hunters. What we liked, what we didn't like, and everything in between.
Today we discuss Vader's Fortress, the fifth book in the Junior Jedi Knights series. Tionne returns to the Academy with news that she has learned the location of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s lightsaber. It’s at Vader’s Castle, so she, Anakin, Tahiri, Uldir, Ikrit, and R2 embark on a quest to recover the lost artifact, but meet a new villain who tempts one of them.
Today we discuss The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett. This story shows us Boba Fett at several different points in his life: it sees him as a young man before his exile, chasing Han Solo during The Empire Strikes Back, his time at Jabba's Palace during Return of the Jedi, and a much older bounty hunter chasing Kardue’Sai’Malloc and then an older Han Solo.
Today we discuss Anakin's Quest, the fourth book in the Junior Jedi Knights series. Anakin is having doubts about whether or not he should be a Jedi. After talking with his Uncle Luke, he decides he wants to go to Dagobah and visit the cave. He and Tahiri have also made a new friend, Uldir, who wants to be a Jedi. There’s just one problem: he doesn’t seem to be force-sensitive.
Today we discuss Of Possible Futures: The Tale of Zuckuss and 4-LOM. Zuckuss and 4-LOM are after Han Solo. Unlike the other bounty hunters, rather than chase their query, they decide to head for the Rebellion’s rendezvous point and capture him there. In order to be accepted by the Rebellion, they rescue some Rebel survivor’s from the Battle of Hoth.
Today we discuss Promises, the third book in the Junior Jedi Knights series. The time has come for Tahiri to return to Tatooine and choose whether or not she will continue at the Jedi Academy. She will also learn what happened to her parents, and what dark secret Sliven, the Tusken who raised her, has.
