Expounded Universe 209 – I, Oceanbound
Chapter 36 opens with our new favorite phrase: “Several months later.” The languid pace of this rescue is wild, right? Anyway, all three chapters this week concern Corran’s attempts to […]
Expounded Universe 208 – Aye, Pirate
[/audio] Okay, here we go! We’re done with the Jedi temple, we’re done with Grandpa’s house, time to finally rescue Mirax, all we gotta do is… join up with a […]
Expounded Universe 207 – I, Not A Jedi
Obviously Corran is feeling a little down on himself for spending two and a half months at the Jedi academy instead of just looking for his wife, so the most […]
Expounded Universe 206 – I, Died Offscreen
Ooh lots of ground to cover this week, as get this, Corran Horn is leaving Yavin 4! With about half of the book left, will we finally start the book? […]
Expounded Universe 205 – I, Gonna Get You Sucka
The cavalcade of guest stars visiting Fantasy Planet continues, as we are now getting a chance to meet Han (again, remember!?) and Leia, along with the Solo twins, make brief […]
Expounded Universe 204 – I Try to Say Goodbye and I Choke
I can’t help but wonder just exactly how much of this book is Jedi school. It became increasingly weird to deal with a book about a missing wife, clearly in […]
Expounded Universe 203 – I, Blueleaf Myself
I looked at how the book was and realized this first person gimmick was going to wear out its welcome sooner rather than later, even if the book makes it […]
Expounded Universe 202 – I, Sometric Exercise
Over and over I’m exposed to characters I’ve heard of, stories I faintly remember, but at each turn I’m confronted with the nagging fact that someone has been inserted into […]
Expounded Universe 201 – I, Camp Counselor
After a little too much time noodling around on Coruscant, I found myself excited to finally get to the Jedi Factory. Am I finally going to get connected to the […]
Expounded Universe 200 – I, Jedi Search
Intrigued, I perused further into the book. “Nonsense!” I exclaimed! It’s already chapter 7! How is he still doodling around on Coruscant receiving praise from all his famous friends? Surely […]
Expounded Universe 199 – I, Wife Guy
I looked to the opening lines of the novel and couldn’t believe my eyes. A Star Wars novel written in first person? Reviewing my long years of reading other EU […]
Expounded Universe 198 – Strasse der Schatten Wrap Up
Time to take the long view of this game, also answer some questions AND announce the next book. And let me tell you right here and now, it’s a doozy.
Expounded Universe 197 – Aurra Sing’s Final Clowning
The final four chapters! How does it all end, what with the murder being solved already? Well obviously by wrapping up the loose ends and setting up the next book. […]
Expounded Universe 196 – The Butler Did It
Well, this generally acceptable (and again, selected entirely off the title) book just succeeded in making us madder than every one of these Star Wars books since The Consent Gun […]
Expounded Universe 195 – A Conspicuously Convenient Cathar
Laranth vs. Aurra Sing! In hindsight this is sorta depressingly predictable. Anyway they have a noir-grade showdown in the midst of a very weird festival, then Jax heads off to […]
Expounded Universe 194 – Aw C’Mon, He’s Just a Little Guy
Whoa, two chapters in a row that are a continuous story? Don’t think we’ve seen that yet! Anyhoo, the gang is still in “sit around bickering” mode, until Den kickstarts […]
Expounded Universe 193 – A Cragmoloid Never Forgets
We’re about 2/3rds of the way through the book, and for the first time ever any path that anyone is on seems like it might actually cross one of the […]
Expounded Universe 192 – A Couple of Side Stories
Den Dhur spends a little time wandering a big space market full of Wookiee Luau and disreputable merchandise, which he hates (Dhur hates everything), Typho adds bureaucrat to his already […]
Expounded Universe 191 – The Vindalian Wife Explainer
Doing things in the wrong chapter order? Why not? It’s pandemonium gone wild as Aurra Sing continues to brag and lose, and Jax shows his… questionable side.
