We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar
Podcast Description
Join two queer 30-somethings every two weeks as they read (and occasionally watch) the Star Wars Legends oeuvre in publication order! They discuss the merits of the old extended universe and enjoy (or don't enjoy!) the writing of these pulpy sci-fi novels. And, eventually, they will talk about Dash Rendar.

Content Themes
The podcast focuses on the Star Wars expanded universe literature, with episodes analyzing both beloved and less appreciated works. Discussions include critiques on storytelling quality, character development, and notable writing flaws, highlighted in episodes like the examination of Splinter of the Mind's Eye for its problematic elements and the upcoming more favorable review of The Star Wars Holiday Special.

This week join Rogue 4 Miff and Rogue 13 Nak as they discuss The Empire Strikes Back, both the novelization by Donald Glut and the film. The book was…. not great. It wasn't bad, it was no Splinter of the Mind's Eye! But it wasn't good. We discuss Land of the Lost and learn some very personal details about Miff, as well as the fact that neither Miff nor Nak can do a Harrison Ford impression. Also expect speculation on Space Shakespeare's The Taming of the Tauntaun. Join us in 2 weeks when we cover Brian Daley's final Han Solo novel, Han Solo and the Lost Legacy.
Sorry for the long episode despite our claims that it would be a 2-parter; it ended up being just too short to reasonably split!
