I didnt care much for the dirsr 2 acts of the book but the 3rd act was awesome

I love Star Wars Insider! I started collecting and reading it with issue #43 in 1999, just before The Phantom Menace came out, though my purchasing of the magazine was sporadic until it started showing up at my local grocery store in about 2006 or 2007, and, with the exception of one here and there, I picked the magazine up every month. I finally stopped buying it in 2019 because, by that point the updates and information were several weeks out of date and I already knew what was in the latest issue because I'd read the news online. So, Star Wars Insider actually began as the Lucasfilm Fan Club Magazine in 1987, when Star Tours was just about to open at Disneyland, and movies like Willow and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade were going into production. The magazine still reported on Star Wars news, but given that all we had coming out were the books, comics, and video games, there wasn't a whole lot to report. It wasn't until after George Lucas announced he was working on the Prequel Trilogy, as well as the Special Edition of the Original Trilogy in 1993, that the magazine made the change over to Star Wars Insider with issue #23 in 1994. Though more Star Wars content had been added in 1992 and 1993.

Yes I absolutely love this novelisation! Its writing style is so well done that it could honestly be studied in a creative writing class. I love how Stover focuses on the personalities and thoughts of our characters and I love the foreshadowing and metaphors!

I wonder if she could get into the stories in the tales of the stories

She is such a fun test case to see what she thinks ! Great job!!

This was fantastic to listen to. I remember when I first read Revenge of the Sith, I was pretty late to the game. I couldn't believe that it would live up to the hype. But it exceeded the hype. It's a case study in expanding on and improving the source material. Glad you both made this! Great insights. I always love hearing people's first perspectives on books that I love. You totally hit the nail on the head in terms of how reasonable Palpatine comes off in this book.

Sorry I’m a little late on watching this video. Sending lots of prayers and positive thoughts your way! Sorry for all the struggles and for all the frustrations. I’m glad to hear there’s been some progress and glad you guys are doing ok my friend.

Yes I just finished Darksaber not that long ago! I skipped children of the Jedi as I was bored. I love this it’s fantastic!

Oh man, I missed the notification on this video, so I'm seeing it a bit later. I'm so so sorry to hear about your struggles with getting things back together. The way you stay strong and positive about everything is honestly incredibly inspirational. The way the community rallied was really heart warming to see. So glad to hear things have rebuilt so well. Stay strong brother! Much love!

I bet things are incredibly hard in California with all the regulations but I’m sure you will figure it out

Hope to see you do a full interview on Quinlon vos channel

Sad to hear the process has been so imperfect but very glad to hear you’ve had support! It all sounds like ALOT! Thanks for the update bro❤

I remember the excitement of seeing these characters in a comic after reading the Jedi academy books. It was so nice to see Luke play a background character in this story, it really let the new Jedi characters take over.

I have fond memories of these magazines as a kid still have some of them in my collection, my favourite where the clone wars issues the short stories were amazing

Man, your videos are so cozy, and I love what you do. :]

Somehow I just saw this! Thank you for the tag man! I feel so unqualified to be listed with all these awesome channels. Appreciate you brother 🙏

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

This is true canon. Unlike the Disney heresy

Great post my friend! Let's celebrate it and continue enjoying it!

I always wanted to collect these as a kid (and I should have), but funds were tight and i had to prioritize books and comics. They have so many gems in the form of articles and short stories in them!

Very well-said, as always. I have only made it through a bit of Brennan's video, but it has definitely made me emotional to hear all the testimonials. While I don't hold out much hope for continuation under the current LFL administration, I'm generally optimistic that we'll see something someday. Until then, let's continue to create and put love back into the world!

So glad the video was able to be as emotionally impactful for you as it was for me. And yeah hopefully LucasFilm will one day hear our pleas. I remain optimistic, and will continue to reach for that glimmer of hope for years. I don’t think in my heart I’ll ever give up. And we’ll take every win when we get em. With reprints, with any Star Wars The Old Republic online short story that gets released, with any lost unpublished story that sees the light! We will take our wins! And I hope for many more! Thanks for your perspectives and thoughts in this video! And I really appreciate the project shout out brother! Much love my friend! ❤

All we can do is continue to share our passion and keep asking. We have to maintain hope that someone will answer us eventually. It may not be an answer we want to hear, but any definitive response would be better than this limbo. Yesterday's project was a big collective shout into the void. Hopefully it echoes into the ears of someone working for the mouse!

They should do expanded universe but need to sell the rights of it to a separate company because Disney as a publicly traded corporation they follow strict dei rules so the main point of everything they do is equity inclusion diversity- etc

Well said 👍🏼 hopefully someone important will see the demand and see the opportunity to continue our timeline. I don't see any real reason why our stories couldn't continue

Long live the Star Wars expanded universe true Star Wars shall live forever

You should do a return to the comic book shop video ! Take us back to the good old days

Did that magazine talk about the Darth plaguies book when it was coming out ?

Good old days when you went to the book store to see the magazines for the new information

Man if only I’d mixed some insider in with all my game informer and Nintendo Power back in the day, I may have decked into the EU sooner.

I love Insider so much! I only have like 8 of them in my collection so far! But I’ve read almost all of the short story content digitally and it’s solid content! Love hearing you talk about your experiences with the magazine here! That prequel update page you showed was dope! These magazines were treasures to be sure!

In 2022, I finally bought this game and played it on my old PS2. It's a bit rough around the edges, but I really enjoyed it and how it links up with TotJ. It's amazing!

Game looks pretty fun. I’ve never actually played it. I remember playing Battlefront 2 on PS2.

I loved this game. I only played it recently though. Fun gameplay and great lore connections.

I love this video game so much! Very underrated!

Fun comic series! Glad to see you talking about some comics!

Glad to see you again love your videos ! Happy Easter 🐇🐣🐰

I LOVE Darksaber also ! From the cover and the first part going back to jabbas palace with the tuskens and all the rest !

Yeah, I totally agree with this review! When I reread Darksaber last July, I finished it in 3 days. It was such a nice change of pace from CotJ. I personally think it's the best KJA book in Star Wars. I liked the fact that we got to see Luke's early NJO in action.

Awesome review! Glad you love it! It’s not my favorite EU book admittedly, but you make an awesome case for it here!

This was great guys. I am so happy I got to meet both of you in person last year. Great memories. TPM holds a special place in my heart. My father took me to see it when I was 12. Sadly, he's no longer around, but I plan to rewatch it with some friends in theatres this coming May. These same friends and I watched RotJ in theaters last May so it's kind of becoming a tradition now. I've always loved Jar-Jar Binks, can't explain it. No clue why people hated him so much. I agree with Eddie that the lightsaber duels in this movie are a total step-up. And totally agree with OGG about the Force Speed problem AND Padme's age. 😅 Plagueis is currently my favorite EU novel. I'm shocked at how well it works with, sets up and enhances TPM. Another book I wanted to re-read this year is Cloak of Deception. And yeah, of course, Darth Maul rocks 🤘

Sadly, this is the book that caused my wife to stop reading Star Wars books. She can't bring herself to finish it 😅 I enjoyed my re-read of it, but I did have some issues with how swiftly Exar Kun was defeated. Loved hearing your thoughts about this book and the super-detailed breakdown, great stuff! And I totally agree with Stevie, your shirts are always amazing lol. If my wife ever finishes the book, I'll tell her to watch this video.

I can't believe I missed this video months ago when you first uploaded it. I loved hearing your thoughts on the EU. Particularly the treatment of legacy characters, which is my primary reason (among several) for not being able to get behind the new continuity. I also really love the adherence to continuity amongst the book and comic authors. Some like Luceno, Stover and Stackpole went out of their way. But even those that didn't go out of their way still made sure to honor it (for the most part). Truly a magical time to be a fan. It made it feel like all these stories mattered. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, man! You should totally do a podcast.

Was waiting to finish my reread of I, Jedi before I watched/ commented on this video. I really love I, Jedi too. I had a great time reading it and flew through the first half. The second half was good, but maybe a bit too short. This should have been a duology. Great review! I agree with your criticism of the Jedi Academy books. I felt like this book enhanced the JAT. The audiobook came out today, too btw.

I personally think Shadow Games might be a good choice - maybe not as a first. But a bit down the line. I think it's such a great book and Han shows up! As a first, I will buck the trend and suggest Honor Among Thieves. It has familiar characters, familiar characterizations and great new characters like Scarlet Hark. I think James S.A. Corey did a great job in writing it. They also wrote the Expanse books.

I haven't read this story in years. You make me pumped to reread it, but I probably won't get to it this year. 😅

Loving these shorts, man! They are great. Looks like you got some great stuff here. I have the two fiction collections from Insider. It doesn't really bother me that there's canon content in them, but weird to use the legends banner in that case.

Hah! Yes, it's a bit of a slog. It does feel like work sometimes. Hope you've finished by now, lol.

Yes! I love the Star Wars short stories in these anthologies. What do you think of Tales from Jabba's Palace? I want to reread it this year.

Oh really great man! I got KOTOR 2 from limited run. Did you get these on the secondary market or did you get them when they were taking orders???
