Hello there and welcome to Star Wars: Comics In Canon; your guide to the wider Star Wars canon through the comic-book lens! I’m your host Mike Burton – you may know me from the Genuine Chit-Chat podcast and for being the one with the abundance of Star Wars facts in the collaboration between Comics In Motion, 20th Century Geek & Genuine Chit-Chat in the journey to the Rise Of Skywalker! This release is just to outline what you can expect from these Saturday-slotted episodes on Comics In Motion’s fine feed (& on GCC’s YouTube) – it’s for all Star Wars fans; younglings & veterans alike! Whether you’ve consumed all the content (I’d be impressed if you have) or are just a film newbie getting into a galaxy far far away, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this look into the wider Star Wars canon!
Please note this episode was originally released on the feed of the Comics In Motion podcast back in March 2020 - all episodes are released on there and at YouTube.com/GenuineChitChat, I just wanted to create a new feed solely for this show. At the time of releasing this, over 114 episodes have been released, so go check those out if you can't wait for this feed to catch-up!
I’ll be doing an episode each week about a character, an event, a series of comics or something similar, talking about which comics are worth checking out, general plot points from them as well as some trivia and news – this show is recommended for those who have seen all 9 episodes of Star Wars as well as Solo & Rogue One. If you’ve seen Clone Wars & Rebels too, that helps but is definitely not a requirement.
In this episode I also explain what Canon & Legends means in Star Wars, what the calendar regarding the battle of Yavin (BBY/ABY) means, a timeline of all current movies & series, a brief overview of what The High Republic era is, as well as giving a general overview on the comics/episodes to come.
The first “proper” episode will be releasing shortly and I am more than happy to take any & all criticism or notes to ensure this is the best podcast it can be, so if you have any questions, pointers or just fancy a chat, send me an email at StarWarsComicsInCanon@outlook.com!
