Join Wing Commanders Hotlegs and Garth Mater as they finish off the Thrawn Trilogy with The Last Command by Timothy Zahn. you will not be surprised to learn that we hated this one! Has the Star Wars fandom been gaslighting everyone about these books? If only Zahn cared about art at all, maybe Thrawn would work! But alas, it was not done artfully. We had so much to complain about that we had to circle back to finish complaining after our segments.

While editing, Wing Commander Hotlegs forgot to make a list of topics of discussion. She made a Hook reference, though. And Wing Commander Garth Mater sang a little bit of a song from Persona. There's also a reference to A Little Night Music. IDK I forgot to do this bit for the first hour of the edit, it'll be back for the next episode, which will be about The Truce At Bakura by Kathy Tyers. Get excited for that!

Join Fubar and Faendal as they discuss Star Wars: Book Two, which collects Mission From Mount Yoda, Queen of the Empire, and Prophets of the Dark Side, by Paul & Hollace Davids. They're just as bad and not as good as the ones from Star Wars: Book One. The prose is garbage and the absolute bonkers quality has been ratcheted down. This shit is so ass. (Don't worry listeners, Fubar did not have a stroke.)

Topics of Discussion include: Everything happening so much; Tokyo Ghoul papercraft; Glenn Fabry; ABS (Always Be Scamming); the pulp mines; disability as punishment; speak friend and enter; A Series Of Unfortunate Events; the Emperor's grandchild; Dagobah Tech; lactils and global warming; the milk pervert; The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai; Paul Blart; quatrains; The Polar Bear King; Hologram Fun World; Girl Comics #3; Cheap Trick's blood

Bad morning to you, our evil listeners! In this episode of We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar, hosts Cammy and Baja Blast read Star Wars: Book One, which collects The Glove Of Darth Vader, The Lost City of the Jedi, and Zorba The Hutt's Revenge. They're even dumber than those titles suggest. There's a whale vacuum! We had a lot of fun. These books sucked very bad. A real "sure whatever who gives a shit, let Peggle 2 make calls" of a series.

Topics of discussion include: Batman Black, The Social Network, names for babies with three eyes, Tom Bombadil singing Oompa Loompa songs, Archie Goodwin's naming conventions, Corky Baxter, Porgie Tirebiter, laser pistol earrings, Grand Admiral Grunger, Monzaemon, Doonium the baby Phobium, Snoke Loroan, Timothy Leary, A Canticle for Leibowitz

Well gang, this may be the last episode of We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar you ever listen to. Not because we're ending, we're not gonna stop for at least 11 years. No, it's because Vhrischtka and Jakhe Ph’eyke kind of hated Dark Force Rising by Timothy Zahn. We'll respect you if you don't want to follow us any longer. But the characters are uncompelling and don't believe in anything, the story is grounded in racism and sexism, and Timothy Zahn is no Steven Erikson.

Topics of discussion include WOE.BEGONE, Malazan Book of the Fallen, Radiata Stories, taxation on exotic biomolecules, Joruus Peterson, Kerobos Lord Satan, Skyewalkers: A Clone Wars Story, Dengar (again), hardcore crinbid fanatics, cool birds, novels about the military draft.

Editors note in case it's unclear: The reason that the treatment of aliens by a text can be racist is because aliens are a racialized Other and it reflects the author and society's consideration of racialized Others, not because it's specifically racist against, say, the Noghri.

Season Two of We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar is here, as Ecumenical Datte and Liturgical Moruss begin our campaign to make enemies of the entire Star Wars fandom by not liking Heir To The Empire by Timothy Zahn very much! Reading an actual novel was truly a balm after the absolute slog that was the Ewoks, but, well, unfortunately it's racist and the character writing is mostly flat. We do absolutely love Mara Jade though! Where'd this noir femme fatale come from anyway?! Return in two weeks to be even further alienated by our thoughts on the second entry in the trilogy, Dark Force Rising.

Sweet release has come for us. Season One is over, and we're done with the Ewoks era of Star Wars – or at least, we will be after this episode. Hosts Nerdley and Fungo discuss the Ewoks Comics, including the three short stories published in the UK exclusive Ewoks Annual. Well, technically. We spend more time discussing the overall problem with the Ewoks era than we spend discussing the specific problems with this comic. Which are plentiful, by the way. To sum it up, we're angry about children's media being so disrespectful of children. You need to write to the top of the audience's intelligence!

Topics of the day include: Complementarianism, Georgism, Franchisification, Dooni the Baby Foonar, Animism, Bifrost, Amphibia, Half-Life Full-Life Consequences, Ace of the Royal Flush Gang, The Lack Of Clowns

Welcome back to the penultimate episode of the Ewoks era of We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar! Afit & Tifa are here for the Droids comic (1986) and it's. well. Better than the tv show. There's some mild fun to be had here. The low point is a retelling of A New Hope starring the droids that completely sidesteps the obvious premise of Artoo and Threepio Are Dead to instead feature moles. Then, Afit & Tifa completely sidestep talking about it to discuss how cute Dodogama is. We have to get our yaoi somewhere! That's. Not related to Dodogama. sorry.
