407 - Legacy of the Force VII: Fury

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2025/12/10

Caedus is the reason for the season in Fury, ringing in our holidays with a wholesome family abduction! Like newly unwrapped crushgaunts, Eric Ambler helps tighten our grip on the story and even squeeze in memories of "crappy apartments cluttered with plastic instruments" circa X-mas 2007. This Allstonian spin on seasonal silliness will stick with us from now until Jesus's next birthday. Fury Twistmas to all, and a Celchu New Year!

406 - Legacy of the Force VI: Inferno

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2025/11/05

We toss the tyrossum jawbone around with Nate Tapp, fanning the flames of discourse over this searing installment where Jacen's bridge-burning hits new highs and a mere Lowbacca cameo reminds us how much more fuel he could've added to the firestorm on Kashyyyk. We also drop scorching Stranger Things news and spark a smoldering sidebar about why "music songs" can't be explained by theory: they just ignite the soul!

405 - Legacy of the Force V: Sacrifice

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2025/10/01

Interrupting his Toydarian-takeout-in-the-bathtub ritual, we lure Alien Nation aficionado Jack Stovold to soak in the fifth Legacy of the Force book, courtesy of our favorite Karen. In Traviss' momentous middle chapter, a subtle feminist undercurrent bubbles to the surface amidst a galvanizing alloy of political intrigue and personal loss. As the stakes rise, some EU fan favorites take a heartbreaking fall...

404 - Legacy of the Force IV: Exile

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2025/09/03

Dusting off the ol’ Canadian phone book, we drag Geoff Clarke out of exile for a Quick Bite™ of the latest wheel-spinning Legacy of the Force entry. Is it duracrud, or are we simply taking the piss, in the proud tradition of Uran Lavint and Blatta the Hutt? Either way, it all circles the drain from there, as we look up our own names on Wookieepedia and realize that Star Wars is ultimately just a world of competing magicians.

403 - Legacy of the Force III: Tempest

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2025/08/06

Advancing past the Preliminary Judging of Muscles, crazy bugslut Barm strong-arms his way into this tempestuous episode to check in on what's happenin' with the Hapans. Is the third entry in the Renny-Harlinesque Legacy of the Force series a real flooger-bed of intrigue, or does it burst our dreambubble by juggling too many narrative wobble balls? Well, let's find out!

402 - Legacy of the Force II: Bloodlines

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2025/07/02

We keep things in the family with returning guest Ryan Davis for Bloodlines, a certified Book of Boba Fett plus his bounty hunter brood! Hear us praise author Karen Traviss' character development, theorize how Legacy of the Force tries to out-Prequel the Prequels, and feel disquieted by the novel's eerie real-world parallels in a time of militarized police and civil unrest...

401 - Legacy of the Force I: Betrayal

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2025/06/04

A presumed-dead Marvel Star Wars villainess looms large over this next nine-book series, so it would be a karking shame not to consult luminary Marvel Star Wars Explorer Brian Rudloff to determine what the fierfek is going on! Like dark side mynock apparitions, we denude every nugget of Betrayal, from the ill-fated droid who's two Vaders tall to the hasty heel turn by a fan-favorite Young Jedi Knight...

303 - Dark Nest III: The Swarm War

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2025/04/02

As the Dark Nest draws to a close and Luke Skywalker finishes watching Revenge of the Sith, the cry-curious Nate Tapp rounds out his trio of guest spots by tripling down on trilogy talk with us. Does The Swarm War warrant three hearty throat-clicks, or do we discard it like Huttwash (and if we discard, do we add two Swarm cards that cost 0 to our hand)?

302 - Dark Nest II: The Unseen Queen

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2025/03/12

Tibanna tapper Nate Tapp taps back in for a bantha-sized, hubba-shaped debate over whether the second Dark Nest novel satisfies like a delicious slice of live action pizza or gets more muddled than nebular miasma. The real plot twist, however, is that we stop kriffing around and finally reveal that this whole Young Jedi Knights Club thing has just been a backdoor Lost podcast the whole time...

BONUS - The 4th Annual Lowie Awards

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2025/02/26

Clad in our classiest Killik silks, we walk the wax carpet for the gala that's even goofier than the Golden Globes... the 4th Annual Lowie Awards!

220 - New Jedi Order Retrospective

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2025/01/15

After nineteen novels, we wistfully turn the page on the New Jedi Order with an all-encompassing retrospective! It might as well be the Day of Comprehending the Will of the Gods... or at least of the Master Shapers behind this ambitious series, who we applaud for challenging our emotions, expanding our perception of the Force, and burning into our brains an entire lexicon of unforgettable Vong-cabulary words.

219 - The Unifying Force

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2024/12/11

Prime guest Jake Beal reveals himself as the true Supreme Overlord of the podcast, reunifying with us for the New Jedi Order’s colossal conclusion. It's the end of an era, and things get downright mythic as we wreath through weighty topics like Yuuzhan Vong theology, traumatic time jumps in the TV show ReBoot, and the (best ever?) Christmas of 2003. There might even be a few surprise gifts from Shimrra Claus himself...

218 - The Final Prophecy

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2024/11/06

The podcast interdicts huttoad Eric Ambler for the not-quite-final Final Prophecy, which sets the table for the endgame of the New Jedi Order. This snackquarium of an episode is swimming with delicacies, as we follow Nen Yim on a trip to Qahsa Bonita, drop an unusual amount of Search for Spock references, and decide which is better: Seal IV or SEAL Team Six?

217 - Force Heretic III: Reunion

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2024/10/02

Reunited once again with Jack Stovold of "Jack's Silly Little JackCast," we transmit our final Zonama Sethoughts via telemetry on the Force Heretic trilogy as a whole... or die trying. Added ingredients in this Esfandia-like atmospheric soup of an episode include the punting of pirates, an amalgamation of Anakins, and a Who's Who of heretics with the hots for Nom Anor!

216 - Force Heretic II: Refugee

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2024/09/11

Future host of "The LizardCast" Jack Stovold (what an Earth ass name...) helps us decide if this middle chapter of the Heretic trilogy is a first-rate tour de Force or merely an inconsequential side mission. Similar to Tahiri's recurring reptilian nightmares, we also receive disturbing visions of Borgs Bunny, living turntable creatures, and thought experiments involving Haley Joel Osment...

215 - Force Heretic I: Remnant

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2024/08/07

Jack Stovold of "The HapeCast" rejoins us to kick off the New Jedi Order's first and only trilogy, in which the prominence of our old pal Pellaeon has got us all pumped! We also ponder how healthy it is to identify with the self-loathing Nom Anor, confuse Shanghai Noon with Shanghai Knights, and show some love for the Arnold Schwarzenegger of Hip Hop.

214 - Destiny's Way

The Young Jedi Knights Club ·

2024/07/03

Ryan Davis crabs his jouncing fighter into the money lane with us to discuss one of the best Star Wars ensemble books yet in an episode that's sure to do sellout business in jig time! Along the Way, we stop off on Planet Greg, try our best to think of some small-beaked birds, and commiserate over the sad life of a Kingdom Hearts fan.
