Adolescence After Alderaan

In this episode Meg and Caroline examine the paradox of Shards of Alderaan - almost nothing happens, and yet so much makes them angry. They dive in to the baffling ways the Star Wars Universe deals with things like head trauma, criminal justice, and predictable natural disasters, as the Young Jedi Knights set out to wish Leia (ONLY LEIA) a happy birthday.

It all comes down to . . . this?? Meg and Caroline take on the Jedi vs. Dark Jedi confrontation as school with the dumbest leader attacks the school with the laziest leader in a contest to see who can manage to lose an easy win. Plus, a journey through dudes of late 90s pop culture as they ponder listener questions!

Meg and Caroline travel with the Young Jedi Knights to the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyk in Darkest Knight! They find plenty to remind them of 1970s sitcoms and Barbra Streisand songs, and also quickly find the limits of their knowledge of video games. Plus, Brakiss is revealed to be the stupidest person in the galaxy!

Ever wished you could build a lightsaber? Good news, apparently you totally can! But you probably shouldn't. Meg and Caroline are back with the Young Jedi Knights in (you guessed it!) Lightsabers, and they have a lot of issues to raise with a certain Jedi Master.

Caroline and Meg back with part 2 of discussion of The Courtship of Princess Leia! They round out their examination of the EU's romance novel with an examination of what happens on Dathomir, raise concerns about everyone's disrespect for Isolder's boundaries, and enjoy the ride careening from violent battle to sitcom humor.

In this episode, the first of two, Meg and Caroline try to figure out The Courtship of Princess Leia. They start with the big questions, like "What?" and "Seriously, what?" and of course "Why?" and "What is this?" Tune in, because they do have some answers.

Ever worry about the massive homelessness problem on Coruscant? No? Unfortunately for the people there, neither have our heroes. The Young Jedi Knights head home for a visit, and Caroline and Meg dive in to the workings of the New Republic's capital city/planet in The Lost Ones.

Caroline and Meg are back for the second book in the Young Jedi Knights series - Shadow Academy. They're covering everything from the nature of the dark side of the Force to undercover rancor riding, so buckle up and dive in!

What is the curriculum at Luke's Jedi Academy? Who is charge of making sure these kids are safe? What are the rules for capturing and storing dangerous creatures? We ask all the questions that Luke apparently never bothered to come up with answers to as we meet the Young Jedi Knights.

We're a podcast dedicated to retracing our adolescent journey through the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and taking deep dives into where ever those paths lead. In this episode, we'll introduce ourselves, and explore our connections to Star Wars as well as lay out our goals for the podcast going forward.
