Star Lores - A Star Wars Legends Podcast

Every fleet has an edge: special forces sent in when regular soldiers can't get the job done. This episode we break down the Alliance's SpecForce: brutal selection, grueling training, rigid division structure, and the petty rivalry with their SpecOps cousins. Then regiment by regiment, starting with the Marines who boarded enemy ships in zero-g and the Pathfinders who slipped in ahead of everyone else. Real mission case studies included, Operation Cobolt, the Nishr campaign, and the strike team at Endor.

Stranded on Endor, we uncover the Sanyassans, the reptilian "Marauders" behind King Terak's fortress in the Dragon's Pelt savanna. We trace their fall from an advanced civilization shattered by the Din supernova to a might-makes-right raider culture, their brutal reign over the Forest Moon under Terak, Charal, and General Yavid, and their sudden vanishing after Terak's death. Along the way: cargo-cult technology, exonyms and outsider naming, and what a fictional species' Legends history reveals about how real history gets written by outsiders.

The Millennial Falcon is parked in the hangar bay for some routine maintenance, and the crew is pulling up a seat for dejarik, sabacc, and a deep dive into the week's biggest Star Wars headlines. On deck: Star Wars Theory's self-funded Vader Episode 2 – Echoes of the Jedi (a six-figure labor of love Disney wouldn't touch), the underwhelming box office of The Mandalorian and Grogu, Ewan McGregor's renewed pitch to keep telling Obi-Wan stories, the surprisingly strong critical reception of Maul: Shadow Lord, first reactions to the Ahsoka Season 2 trailer, and a look ahead to Star Wars Zero Company. Plus, a spicy hot take on the Ewoks, a fan theory from Reddit put to the test, and first impressions on whatever else is floating through the galaxy this week. Grab a drink, settle in, and join the crew for a laid-back hang in the hangar bay.

Our ship went down on Endor, the forest moon that would one day decide the fate of the galaxy. In this episode of Star Lores, we explore the world beneath the canopy: the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village, the sinister Sanyassan Marauders and their Force-witch Charal, the spirits bound to Soul Trees, and the strange menagerie of boar-wolves, condor dragons, and Gorax that stalk its forests. It's a surprisingly deep corner of Star Wars Legends, shaped by decades of films, comics, and cartoons. And we're just getting started exploring it.

In this bonus episode, we cover one of the long forgotten films in the Star Wars Canon. It is equal parts bizarre, wild, and hilarious.
