Star Wars: Old Canon Book Club

Read through the pre-Disney Star Wars universe along with the Star Wars: Old Canon Book Club, and trace the history of Star Wars as a world, a brand, and a part of our cultural fabric.

You've read the book and now it's time for the movie! Return of the Jedi! What's a holiday without a tentpole? Alex, Davis, and Jesse, aka a time lapse of Scott Calving turning into Santa, are here to discuss the big trilogy ender and to look forward to the future! Happy Holidays!

23: Return of Return of the Jedi

Life, love, and a bizarrely specific adherence to 1980's libertarian idealism converge in a trilogy of episodes over the next five weeks, as Alex, Davis, and Jesse tackle the grooviest Star Wars ever written in L Neil Smith's Lando trilogy, and in the case of the Mindharp of Sharu, it is literally all about the vibes.

24: Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu

The Flamewind burns brightly through the Oseon as your SWOCBC boys, Alex, Davis, and Jesse return to that old free spirit, just 27 years young, Lando Calrissian and his enlightened droid Vuffi Raa, back for another fantastic, unlikely, and hilariously unwhelming 1980's L Neil Smith space lounge hang sesh.

28: Video Games 1982-1985

On April 15, 2014, outside of the movies and TV show, Disney rebooted the Star Wars universe, wiping out almost 40 years of characters, continuity, and culture. Now, internet microphone talkers Jesse Cox, Michael Davis, and Alex Faciane step back across the ages to re-experience that other galaxy, frozen in time far far away, just like they did back then…from the very beginning. This is the Star Wars Old Canon Book Club.

Star Wars: Old Canon Book Club Official Trailer

It's all begins here. Join, Alex, Davis, and Jesse as they dip their first baby toe into reading every piece of Star Wars Legends canon in order with the novelization of Star Wars that was released even before the original film! What strange and interesting differences they've discovered!

1: Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker

The movie that started it all...but for the first time in a long time, we're watching it through the lens of someone seeing it for the first time. Is it possible to capture the feeling people in 1977 felt when there had never been anything like this before? Alex, Davis, and Jesse continue their march through old Star Wars canon with an original cut of the first film.

2: Star Wars

Before Star Wars was a worldwide hit, George Lucas inked a deal with his ghostwriter for a print-only back up sequel, just in case the movie was a flop! Alex, Davis, and Jesse read Splinter of the Mind's Eye, a strange book that occupies a space between canon and an alternate universe!

3: Splinter of the Mind's Eye

You've read the book, now watch the film! It's the second half of a double dose of Empire-y goodness, now with Irvin Kershner in the mix, and a movie that looks like it was made by someone with some years under their belt! But is this REALLY one of the greatest films of ALL TIME? And what does it have to say about Star Wars as a whole? Join Alex, Davis, and Jesse to find out!
