Well, the first time Ryan and Jackson recorded they didn't really have it all figured out. They totally do now by the way... No issues ever again going forward.

But we thought it would be appropriate to re-upload our first episode to match the standard of sound quality in future episodes.

Thanks friends!

Jackson and Ryan take a deep dive into the pre-prequel multimedia project. The different aspects of the project have differing levels of success! Who could have guessed. There is also a lot of discussion on I Saw the TV Glow so I hope that's ok with everyone!

Another mostly comics episode today. This is our first (and hopefully last) virtual recording so apologies for a little bit of echo here and there when we talk over each other. But anyway. These Tales of the Jedi comics are really special. If there's anything to take away here, go read all of these mini series they rock so so much. I need more Nomi Sunrider in my life.

It's allllll comics today. Hopefully we don't get burnt out. I'm also realizing my opinions of comics change so much as I talk about them. I feel like compared to movies, video games, novels, music, anything else, I can get a solid opinion on my own, but comics are so nebulous in my mind and require a second like critical pass before I can make up my mind. Anyone else? Anyway... Enjoy the episode.

Jackson gives Ryan his first glimpse of what is known colloquially as "The Old Republic". These are the origins created by Tom Veitch that will go on to inspire many more stories. Here we analyze the questionably morality of Jedi Master Thon and the teaching methods Jedi Masters seem to enjoy using. Also, will Jackson be able to stop thinking about Nomi Sunrider's outfit enough to focus on the episode?

Ryan and Jackson finally reach the end of the pretty much entirely skippable Star Wars video games, and the beginning of non-skippable comic books. Dark Horse takes the reigns with Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy's Dark Empire story. Is this a better vision for the post Return of the Jedi Star Wars world than what Zhan had invented? Spoilers... We don't think so...
