Let's not sugarcoat it, this whole chapter is Luke and Leia walking through a cave tunnel. Yes they get in a shocking fight at the end, but at what cost.

Everyone runs from a pre-exogorth exogorth. It's sorta neat how often big white snakes turn up in Star Wars. Someone should do something with that.

One of the perils of recording early is I'm guaranteed to forget what the episode was. But good news, I think they met one of this book's big bad guys, a pugnacious and dangerous Imperial officers hanging around in a ziggurat.

Hey hey, it's time to meet Halla! She's a fun archetype that was made common in West End Games Star Wars RPGs, the burnout force user. We're also gonna find out about the big MacGuffin of the book this chapter, the Kaiburr Crystal.

In this episode our heroes discover a hidden city on their homeworld, and if you thought going back to 1978 would fix the Leia characterizations, you've got ... another think coming, I guess.

You can't get earlier Star Wars EU novels than this right here. Welcome to the "sequel in case the sequels didn't happen" of Star Wars, where the force was still mysterious and Luke didn't know who his sister was.

That ended abruptly! Sure enough we get a chapter containing both Vader and Xizor, but... eh you'll see. Also there's some robots and some big-ish reveals, I suppose!

Vader packs up and rides to join the party, Jax and company fight some crazy robots, and Xizor meets Nick Rostu, surely that's fantasic, right?

Honestly, I-5 isn't even super important here, we just think it's so funny how he keeps having a module for exactly what the group needs every time. Really, this is the "Xizor Makes His Move" set of chapters.

Man is I-5 ever useful. But who's also a protocol droid with a weird gun hand that everyone wants to know about? I bet you all forgot about Bug Eyes, who is theoretically the MacGuffin of this production, and who JUST TURNED UP. Yeah!

Well dang, this was episode 300? Then I guess we shall podcast in the shade. In today's episode Jax and the gang escape some droid police (DROID POLICE, BEEP BEEP BEEP) on flying Segways, while Rhinann whines and Nick Rostu... also kinda whines.

Oh hey, this book has act breaks! And we just found what might be the only one! You can tell because I-5 finally finds Jax Pavan. Who is an asshole about it.

This episode is a Jax-free space. We focus on Den, we check in with Nick Rostu, and somehow Kaird is still kicking around, but we aren't seeing what's up with Jax and Laranth. Also, Rhinan is making strong moves towards just ruining the Empire's public relations division.

Finally Laranth turns up, and she brings with her something we were missing last time we did this series, an explanation of what a Gray Paladin is exactly (besides the lamest D&D character that your lamest gaming buddy won't shut up about). Meanwhile, Dhur is a reporter and Nick is apparently a gambler, but good news! Joyous news! It's not sabacc!

No one new, and we'll still moving pieces into place, but hey Nick and Jax have met and headed off for a just-dudes sushi brunch, which if you think about it, Star Wars doesn't have nearly enough of.
