Have you ever heard the legend of James Luceno the wise? Now you can hear from this brilliant author directly from the source because Jared and Freddy sat down with him for a phenomenal chat at Legacy Expo. He is the author of great Star Wars books like Darth Plagueis, Cloak of Deception, Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, and several books in the New Jedi Order including its epic finale, The Unifying Force. We asked him about the development of the NJO, many mind-blowing behind-the-scenes details, and also what it was like crafting such a dark and twisted tale as Darth Plagueis. You’re going to love this one.

Recorded in front of a live, in-person audience, Jared and Freddy recorded this episode on September 14th at Legacy Expo in Burbank, California. This special episode is a philosophical exploration into what makes the dark side so seductive by analyzing the journeys of specific Legends characters including the great Sith of the EU: Darth Revan, Darth Bane, Darth Plagueis, and Darth Caedus. They recap each individual's fall to the dark side, debate their motivations and rationale, and discuss what sets these particular characters apart as Sith Lords. They then include an opportunity for Legacy Expo attendees to give their input on what makes each of these characters memorable to the EU today.

Freddy and Jared had the special opportunity to attend Legacy Expo in Burbank, California on September 13th & 14th in which they got to sit down with some spectacular special guests to talk all about the EU.

Buckle up, Padawans, because this isn't your average galactic sightseeing tour. We're trading in the sun-drenched surface of Tatooine and the bustling markets of Mos Eisley for a pilgrimage to the darkest, most twisted corners of a galaxy far, far away. This is the Ultimate Dark Side Road Trip, a journey through the most sinister destinations of Star Wars Legends.

Now that we’ve finished our 19-book excursion through the Yuuzhan Vong Wars, it’s time for a grand retrospective look at the New Jedi Order as a whole. We’re breaking down the highs and the lows, the tremendous amount of Vong lore, and the standout character moments.

WE DID IT! In this episode, we dive into Star Wars: The New Jedi Order – The Unifying Force, exploring how the final battle for Coruscant and the galaxy’s bold strategy bring the Yuuzhan Vong War to its dramatic close. As always, we tackle big plot questions—like the role of Zonama Sekot and the surprising choice to end the conflict with mercy—as well as character‑focused moments, from Jacen’s pivotal confrontation with Shimrra to Nom Anor’s slippery schemes. Along the way, we celebrate the heroism, sacrifices, and unexpected twists that make this finale a heartfelt and unforgettable capstone to the NJO saga.

Summer is upon us! That means many of us have extra time where we're taking road trips, sitting by the pool, or taking time off work. In between the ice cream and wrangling the kiddos who are home from school, we're trying to squeeze a few books in here and there. So we thought it would be fun to run down a few categories for our summer reading bucket lists.
