Hosted by JC, Rob, and Landon, Star Wars: TIES is a conversation for fans who find the galaxy's edges more compelling than its center. While the films provide a starting point, the real journey happens in the vast narrative territories beyond the screen. Each episode digs into the expanded universe, treating both the classic Legends timeline and the current canon with equal parts curiosity and critical analysis. You'll hear discussions that might compare a beloved novel from the 90s with a new comic series, or trace how a minor character from a film blossoms into a central figure across different media. The hosts bring their distinct perspectives to these deep dives, often debating interpretations and sharing the kind of detailed insights that come from genuine enthusiasm. This isn't about recap or review; it's about connection, exploring how these countless stories weave together to form a richer tapestry. Tune in for thoughtful, meandering conversations that celebrate the sheer scale of Star Wars storytelling, finding new threads to pull in every corner of the saga. Whether you're a lifelong scholar of the old canon or just discovering the new expanded universe, this podcast offers a welcoming space to geek out over the details that make this fictional world feel endlessly alive.
