Obroa-skai WalkersImperial Commando: 501st: Chapters 4–6Things keep trucking along, both on Coruscant and in Kyrimorut! That said, I’m uneasy. Everything seems to be going just a bit too smoothly. But first, we dig into Mando’a, Pammant, and… Star Wars: Club Penguin? Also, thanks to Josh for the email this week!

Obroa-skai WalkersOSW Interlude #24 - Wanna See Me Do It Again?This might be the biggest Star Wars podcast ever recorded. That's probably hyperbole, but I don't even care because it certainly felt that way. We cover not one but TWO episodes of THE MANDALORIAN leading up to the season finale and of course everything that dropped at STAR WARS CELEBRATION. Excitement ensues!

Anakin said that "this is where the fun begins," but I'm not feeling like things are actually going to be that fun. Also, we talked about Star Trek for the first 35 minutes. Sorry.

And we're all over the place! Hunting down weird out of place MIDI music, looking at a Star Wars fan zine from 40 years ago, a battle that MIGHT have something to do with Geroon, and way more Mandalorian season 3 speculation than I signed up for, personally.

But we're only halfway through this season, so I'll allow it. We then discuss whether or not Bane is Big Stupid, how Githany is so stunningly beautiful that everyone forgets how to live, and another Zabrak with a double-bladed lightsaber that gets his ass handed to him.

Obroa-skai WalkersOSW Interlude(?) #Whatever - The Ossus Project!The world has conspired against us yet again and we have been kept from releasing a new episode once more. However, we recently had a new podcast join our little podcast family, and we figured we'd give them a little love in our feed to help them get off the ground. We present to you THE OSSUS PROJECT, which is basically our podcast but for Star Wars comics! So if you love our show, you're gonna love Luke and Austin too. So give it a shot!

Obroa-skai WalkersOutbound Flight Chapters 5-8: Force RopeIn this week's supersized (even for us) episode, we tackle some speculation regarding physical releases of future D+ Star Wars material, the canonicity/Legendsicity of the Fantasy Flight RPG system, and of course, chapters 5-8 of Outbound Flight.

Obroa-skai WalkersOSW Interlude #15: Self-Aware HypocritesEverything happens so much all the time. Yessss, technically this a Legends podcast, but you can't have seriously expected us to not talk about everything that came out of the Disney investor call last week. It was just never going to happen that way. But! You know what IS Legends? TRIPLE ZERO by Karen Traviss! Read the short story in the back of the book titled "Omega Squad: Targets," and then the prologue through chapter 2.

Obroa-skai WalkersEpisode CXCVIII - War in the StarsListen up, you statistics: this episode is something entirely new. We were gonna talk about TCW and couldn't. Then we were gonna make our RPG characters, but then we couldn't.

Obroa-skai WalkersOSW Interlude #13 - No Pheremones RequiredTake two seconds to think about the title of this interlude, and you'll probably be able to divine that we're reading SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE by Steve Perry this time around! We're also talking about collecting a lot? So that's a fun direction the podcast is going. Topics include big box Star Wars PC games, the West End RPG (yes, again), and the possibility of doing comics in the future! A busy episode, but would you expect anything else from us at this point?

Obroa-skai WalkersRepublic Commando: Hard Contact - Chapters 13-16: You Give A Mando A Melee WeaponThe first half of the show is pretty one-sided, if we're being honest. Ben basically talks about topics HE wants to talk about and Cole is gracious enough to let him tire himself out. What a great guy. Please read chapters 13-16 of Hard Contact before listening to this one, and finish the book before listening to the next one.

Obroa-skai WalkersHeir to the Empire - Chapters 19-23This one is another doozy of an episode. But since Celebration happened, you KNOW we had to talk about that some. There was just no getting around it. Thankfully, however, we do discuss chapters 19-23 of Heir to the Empire as well. For next week, chapters 24-27!

Obroa-skai WalkersHeir to the Empire - Chapters 13-18Our review of Heir to the Empire chapters 13-18 might be our best balance of content and goofs yet.

Obroa-skai WalkersHeir to the Empire - Chapters 1-6This episode is uhhhhh kind of a doozy. Like REALLY a doozy. We started talking about the Article From the Archives and then fell down multiple rabbit holes and then had to talk about HEIR TO THE EMPIRE CHAPTER 1-6 and almost two hours later we finally called it. BUT. This episode is worth the running time. And who knows? Some of you probably like long episodes.
