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

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

By now Star Wars is a bonafide hit, so what happens when corporate interests start using it for quick cash-ins rather than pulp storytelling? We'd tell you, but it's all in shyriiwook! Join Alex, Davis, and Jesse for a in-depth discussion of the Star Wars Holiday Special.

4: The Star Wars Holiday Special

As the Star Wars Universe congeals further and further, new energy gets breathed into the material when the Marvel Comics writers and artists take a stab at the world's greatest space opera! Join Alex, Davis, and Jesse as they discuss this modern collection of absolutely ancient Star Wars comics!

5: The Original Marvel Years, Vol. 1

We're back with a book that may be much more important to the overall tone and shape of the old legends universe than we realized! For the first true big step away from the Skywalker-centric corner of Star Wars, look no further than Star's End!

6: Han Solo at Star's End

The second Han Solo adventure is way different from the first one! Is that good? Maybe! Is that bad? Probably not! Is Chewbacca so far gone in the head that he doesn't realize what he's done? Join Alex, Davis, and Jesse as they find out together on the SWOCBC!

7: Han Solo's Revenge

Before the movie...there was the official novelization! Come read a Star Wars book by someone who only did it once, and find out along with the SWOCBC whether there's anything new for Alex, Davis, and Jesse to mine from the story of one of the most discussed films of all time!

8: The Empire Strikes Back

Another episode already? Is it your birthday? Yes, it is, because today, on Gasgano's Pod-Chat (a chill podcast about podracing), Alex, Davis, and Jesse answer and respond to all your burning thoughts, which you delivered to us so kindly at Patreon.com/SWOCBC!
