Latest Episodes:

Obi Wan Kenobi, PT. 1 | EP 142 Nov 02, 2026

Show notes

This episode traces Obi-Wan Kenobi’s early Legends history: his childhood training under Master Yoda, his reluctant apprenticeship to Qui-Gon Jinn, and the formative missions and losses that shaped him, including his break from the Jedi Order on Melida/Daan and the death of his rival Bruck Chun. We follow him through the Trade Federation invasion of Naboo, his duel with Darth Maul, and Qui-Gon Jinn’s death, which earned him his knighthood and his new Padawan, Anakin Skywalker. The episode closes with Kenobi’s first years training Anakin, from the cult leader Kad Chun to the living planet Zonama Sekot and the hunt for Granta Omega.

Rebel Special Forces PT. 2 | EP 141 Oct 15, 2026

Show notes

Part 2 of our deep dive into Star Wars Legends’ Rebel Alliance SpecForce covers the five regiments that rounded out the roster: Urban Guerrillas fighting block-by-block in Imperial-occupied cities, Wilderness Fighters (the Rangers) mastering every terrain from Hoth’s ice fields to Endor’s forests, Infiltrators running sabotage and espionage deep behind enemy lines, Heavy Weapons Specialists hauling the firepower to crack fortified Imperial positions, and the Technicians, drivers, medics, and scroungers who kept every taskforce running. We trace specific units and operations across the Galactic Civil War, including the Nishr Taskforce and Taskforce Shen, and close out with a discussion on real-world special-ops and intelligence parallels, plus a look at how Legends canon handles the Rebellion’s covert war.

Rebel Special Forces PT 1. | EP 140 Sep 09, 2026

Show notes

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.

Sanyassans | EP 139 Aug 26, 2026

Show notes

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.

Endor | EP 138 Aug 05, 2026

Show notes

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.

Show notes

Star Wars Legends deep dive continues! In Part 2 of our Cuy'val Dar episode, we put names and faces to "those who no longer exist" — the individual instructors Jango Fett hand-picked to train the Republic's clone commandos on Kamino. We profile Mandalorian legends like Kal Skirata , Walon Vau, Mij Gilamar, Rav Bralor, Vhonte Tervho, plus non-Mandalorian trainers Cort Davin and Kligson and the Death Watch-aligned extremists Dred Priest and Isabet Reau. From paternal mentors and battlefield medics to brutal survivalists and ideological zealots, discover how these Expanded Universe figures shaped clone identity, Mandalorian culture, and the elite soldiers of the Clone Wars.

Those Who No Longer Exist | EP 135 Jun 10, 2026

Show notes

The Cuy'val Dar were the one hundred trainers — seventy-five of them Mandalorians — handpicked by Jango Fett to forge the Republic's clone commandos in secret on Kamino. In this Star Wars Legends deep dive, Star Lores explores "those who no longer exist": Kal Skirata, Walon Vau, Mij Gilamar, Rav Bralor, and the mercenaries, bounty hunters, and assassins who shaped clone individuality, Mandalorian culture, and the elite soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic. From the Republic Commando saga and the Clone Wars to Kyrimorut, Death Watch, and the legacy that echoed into the Yuuzhan Vong War, we break down the men and women who built an army and vanished.

Dark Acolytes | EP 134 May 27, 2026

Show notes

During the Clone Wars, Darth Sidious and Count Dooku assembled the Dark Acolytes — a network of Dark Jedi and fallen Force-users who served the Confederacy as assassins, spies, and commanders, yet were forever barred from true Sith status by the Rule of Two. In this episode of Star Lores, we explore the most feared dark side adepts of the CIS, from Asajj Ventress and Savage Opress to Sev'rance Tann, Quinlan Vos, and Sora Bulq, and how Darth Sidious used them to corrode galactic faith in the Jedi Order.
