Legends Lookback

We’re wrapping up the year, looking back at the good times, and dreaming of what’s ahead. So before you put away your stockings, put on your red Wookiee Life Day robes one last time for the season, and mix some egg nog into your blue bilk as we celebrate the holiday with Star Wars Legends and ring in the new year with the old Legends we’ve known and loved for decades.

Our KOTOR coverage continues! Hop on board the Ebon Hawk with us as we do a character deep-dive on the illustrious crew of diverse companions that accompany you throughout the game. We’re talking Juhani, Jolee, Bastila, and more. Who’s your favorite? Did you kill Juhani? Let us know in the Discord.

One of the best things about the Star Wars Legends community is the wonderful network of like-minded fans who all share our love of these fantastic stories and characters. We connected with one such new friend of ours is Kyle (Xezene), the creator of a tremendous undertaking—detailed, a multi-part, behind the scenes account of the making of the New Jedi Order. He went back in the archives and conducted brand new interviews to find all of the personal accounts of what went down all those years ago to form this unbelievably ambitious storytelling initiative. We ask Kyle all about what it took to tackle such a big project, as well as just general nerding out about the NJO. Thanks to the folks at Legacy Expo for bringing us together. Recorded on September 13th in Burbank, CA.

In this episode we explore the lore of Revan and Malak, their triumphs, their falls to the dark side, and their brutal breakup with galaxy-spanning consequences. We'll explore the brilliant tactical minds of Revan and Malak and their sudden, shocking fall to the dark side. We cover their motivations and the philosophical seeds that led them to forge a new Sith Empire

At Legacy Expo we had the unbelievable opportunity to talk with one of the early architects of the Expanded Universe—Barbara Hambly! We reflected on her experiences writing Children of the Jedi, Planet of Twilight, as well as short stories in Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina and Tales from Jabba’s Palace. She took us on a thrilling adventure down memory lane, recounting some of the behind-the-scenes action that resulted in the creation of these epic tales we all know and love.
