    Wedge's Gamble Ch. 10 - 14
    2026/09/02
    Ok y'all it's starting to get fun! Michael A Stackpole hears our prayers and does a smash cut from PowerPoint presentation to post-battle tent set up (?). Corran and Wedge take their Good and Naughty Lists to Kessel, where Corran explains a bunch of fake drug slang to a disbelieving Nawara Ven. Everything goes so smoothly, Corran and Mirax even have time get a little flirtin' in -- before they are politely interrupted by Ooryl, who has come to show off his new arm! And our heroes break off into pairs to complete their group assignment (secretly invading Coruscant in the best costumes the New Republic theater department can find via futures trading).

    Wedge's Gamble Ch. 5 - 9
    2026/08/27
    These chapters start with a bang...or at least, a big bang theory, as Leia and Wedge catch up between council sessions -- as Kelly points out, with the sort of gratuitous hand holding, forehead kisses, and commiseration about their current romantic prospects that seems a lot like the way you'd chat with a friendly ex. But not everyone on the council has a playful and not purely platonic energy together -- Fey'la and Akbar are fighting in a superficially polite but deeply passive-aggressive manner about what's to be done with Coruscant. Tragically, all these tete-a-tete's and council meetings are interrupted by one space battle, in which Rogue Squadron juped and swooped successfully to victory with no causalities beyond Corran's peace of mind. Thank the Force Michael A Stackpole knows what his readers is really here for : the slowly ratcheting tension that can only come with watching your boss give a corporate PowerPoint presentation so wild, a narcotics cop and a public defender both think it's a terrible idea.

    Our beloved patrons have spoken, and we're headed back to Michael A. Stackpole’s X-Wing series in search of something a little goofier...perhaps even, a little hornier? Speaking of Corran: M. Horn, Wedge and the rest of the Rogues are hanging out on a little planet called Borelias waiting on the rest of the Rebel Fleet to catch up. The ultimate plan (if you've forgotten in the last two years) is to invade Coruscant. But first, we've got to figure out what's going on with Emtrey...and maybe Tycho, if there's time. And we see indisputable proof that Wedge is a better boss than Luke as he gets hyped for the Provisional Council meeting of his dreams.Plus, stick around for a post-credit scene of two (2) American hosts with graduate degrees trying (and failing) to pronounce one (1) English word.

    Friends and patrons, we are gathered here today to talk about this four-part comic, released by Dark Horse, in which Luke Skywalker takes Mara Jade to be his wife. The plot really is that simple, and yet, this comic will have you repeatedly asking why or even WHY GOD?? on most every page. From the many baffling and varied head-shapes of well known characters, to the absolutely deluge of extremely jarring boomer jokes about the manifold miseries of heterosexual marriage coming out of the mouths of the galaxy's most notorious wife guys, to the Imperial plot to kidnap Mara's wedding dress in order to blow up Moon Emperor Al Gore' s own Holonet (??), things sure do happen for reasons we don't really understand. So now we're just two hosts, standing in front of their book club, asking: why did you want us to read this one again?

    This will be our final episode of the 4th season! We will return shortly with our next selection, chosen by loyal patrons: X-Wing: Wedge's Gamble. Stay tuned!

  • Somehow, Chris Kempshall has returned

    Somehow, Chris Kempshall has returned
    2026/08/12
    We are delighted to announce Chris Kempshall, author of The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, has made the tactical error of returning to this podcast. We discuss the real earth history that likely influenced Thrawn as a character and the Caamas Document Crisis, the in-universe public memory of Thrawn vs. what he actually accomplished in the first series, and the strange blurriness of galactic politics . Plus, we hear a bit about his new book Star Wars Star Pilots, which will be coming out this fall and heavily features pod favorite Wedge Antilles. And for those that haven't subscribed yet but are hungry for more Star Wars geopolitical realness (and Earth WWI history), check out Chris's newsletter, The Historian's Holonet. It really is a great read and changed how we thought about both Thrawn and Pellaeon.

    Citizens of the New Republic, we have finally made it to the end of this (New York Times Bestselling???) masterpiece. And what did we learn, Palmer? That the Caamas document is real. That Mara Jade is good at sabotage. That Leia's half-decent at piracy. That Pellaeon has an intense admiration for Talon Karrde's...ethics. That both our hosts love these books. What remains a mystery? What is a Jedi? What is the New Republic, and what does the New Republic think the Empire is? Also, where is Ghent?

    Star Wars really just teaches you so much about adulthood. Lessons include:

    *the bats are usually right about the lake...

    *maybe don't take your frustrations out on backseat philosophers or ex-Imperial clones, they're only trying to help...

    *if it's gotta be Thrawn, it's gotta be booby traps...

    *and if you're about to drown, don't be surprised by the sudden urge to also MARRY, I guess?

    Mara Jade, welcome to the war on cars.

    Mara stops the Hand of Thrawn from making a huge mistake (and maybe becomes a Jedi?) while Luke takes a nap. Bel Iblis puts the finishing touches on his suicide plan. On Bothawui, Moranda puts a clever plan into motion but forgets her Imperial counterparts might have a death wish of their own. Pellaeon takes a call from an unknown number (possibly the bravest thing anyone has done in this book??) and we hear a familiar voice just out of sight on stage left. And Leia benches Han for the rest of the diplomatic fight.
