Star Wars Dark Empire was first published 35 years ago and it has influenced the Star Wars universe ever since. The Emperor returns, Luke falls to the dark side, Leia takes on the mantle of Jedi, and the future of the galaxy depends on the Return of the Jedi Knights! Our dear friend of the show Dawud joins us as we break down this strange, atmospheric tale from a galaxy far far away....

The Chosen One, The Hero with no Fear; this is what it means to be Anakin Skywalker right now. From a slave boy growing up on Tatooine, becoming a hero of the Republic, and suffering the tragic fall to the Dark Side are just some of the defining aspects of Anakin. Find out why he's relatable, aspirational and a cautionary tale in this discussion of Why We Love Anakin Skywalker. He was a good friend.

Obi-Wan Kenobi. There are so many things that come to mind when we think about Obi-Wan. He is the model Jedi Knight, a wise and understanding teacher, as well as a compassionate and reliable friend. Join us as we discuss why we love Obi-Wan and why his story is such an important part of Star Wars. Help us Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope!
