The  answers are all here, plus there’s a blow-by-blow recap of our Eulogising Legends knockout competition, exploring which Legends  characters you think are worth bringing back into future Star Wars movies, TV shows, books and comics.

From the general story arc  and key characters, to the cover designs and the initial reaction of  fans and detractors – it’s a series of books that divided opinion at the  time, but how do they stand up six years and three sequel films later?

Extra special guest, Stephen J Sansweet, joins Stuart and Dan to delve into the many books he has written.


Head  of Fan Relations at Lucasfilm for 15 years, Stephen was author or  co-author of 18 books, 16 of which were Star Wars books.  

From  Concept To Screen To Collectible was the catalyst book for the Star  Wars collecting hobby and impacted everyone who purchased it back in  1992. Since then, he has released action figure guides, poster books,  encyclopedias, vaults, price guides, scrapbooks and quote books.  And  take it from us, every one of them is a must in any Star Wars library.


We  discuss the impact of both From Concept To Screen To Collectible and  The Tomart's Guide in depth, as well as looking at Steve's other  literary works. This is a fascinating insight into a much loved pioneer  of our hobby and an essential listen for any collector.

It's  five years after Return of the Jedi: the Rebel Alliance has destroyed  the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and driven the   remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet to a distant corner of the  galaxy. Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting Jedi twins.   And Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of Jedi   Knights.
 

In 1991, Star Wars burst back into  fans' lives with the release of the Timothy Zahn novel, Heir To The  Empire, which began the start of a trilogy of books, affectionately  known as 'The Thrawn Trilogy'.  


Stuart  and Craig are joined by Mark Mulcaster and Mark Newbold to discuss this  books and the impact they had on the Star Wars Universe.  Join us as we  reminisce about characters old  and new, a plot which perhaps should  have been the sequel trilogy on screen and just how much these books  changed the Star Wars landscape.
