We're unfortunately back to Kevin J. Anderson's tedious Jedi Academy trilogy with the second installment, 1994's Dark Apprentice. The gang is unifed in our hatred of Kevin's writing and we're just really tired of his shit. Topics include Luke Skywalker's substitute teacher-ass Jedi instruction, Admiral Ackbar flying a plane into a skyscraper (really), and how politically cooked the New Republic is because they want to negotiate and co-exist with what's left of the Empire.

Content warnings include misogyny, racism, intimate partner violence, slavery, sexual assault, and references to genocide.

We talk about 1994's The Courtship of Princess Leia by Dave Wolverton. Dave cooked with this one, honestly. There's some outrageous stuff in here but it's combined with genuinely some of the best writing we've encountered on this podcast so far. Topics include if Han is a Space Led Zeppelin guy while he's working in the garage, the psychosexual stuff going on with Dave regarding matriarchial societies where men are only kept around for breeding and to look pretty, and the sentience of rancors.

Content warnings include fatphobia, misogyny, enslavement, suicide. Also this story is about kidnapping your partner because you're afraid they're going to leave you for someone else.

We conclude Big Tim's iconic trilogy with 1993's The Last Command. Topics include how you could escape an asteroid blockade of your planet, what exactly Mara Jade's duties were as the Emperor's Hand, and what Leia and Han's other picks for baby names were.

Content warnings include racism, colonialism, and general physical violence.
