Star Lores - A Star Wars Legends Podcast

This episode traces Obi-Wan Kenobi’s early Legends history: his childhood training under Master Yoda, his reluctant apprenticeship to Qui-Gon Jinn, and the formative missions and losses that shaped him, including his break from the Jedi Order on Melida/Daan and the death of his rival Bruck Chun. We follow him through the Trade Federation invasion of Naboo, his duel with Darth Maul, and Qui-Gon Jinn’s death, which earned him his knighthood and his new Padawan, Anakin Skywalker. The episode closes with Kenobi’s first years training Anakin, from the cult leader Kad Chun to the living planet Zonama Sekot and the hunt for Granta Omega.

Part 2 of our deep dive into Star Wars Legends’ Rebel Alliance SpecForce covers the five regiments that rounded out the roster: Urban Guerrillas fighting block-by-block in Imperial-occupied cities, Wilderness Fighters (the Rangers) mastering every terrain from Hoth’s ice fields to Endor’s forests, Infiltrators running sabotage and espionage deep behind enemy lines, Heavy Weapons Specialists hauling the firepower to crack fortified Imperial positions, and the Technicians, drivers, medics, and scroungers who kept every taskforce running. We trace specific units and operations across the Galactic Civil War, including the Nishr Taskforce and Taskforce Shen, and close out with a discussion on real-world special-ops and intelligence parallels, plus a look at how Legends canon handles the Rebellion’s covert war.

Every fleet has an edge: special forces sent in when regular soldiers can't get the job done. This episode we break down the Alliance's SpecForce: brutal selection, grueling training, rigid division structure, and the petty rivalry with their SpecOps cousins. Then regiment by regiment, starting with the Marines who boarded enemy ships in zero-g and the Pathfinders who slipped in ahead of everyone else. Real mission case studies included, Operation Cobolt, the Nishr campaign, and the strike team at Endor.

Stranded on Endor, we uncover the Sanyassans, the reptilian "Marauders" behind King Terak's fortress in the Dragon's Pelt savanna. We trace their fall from an advanced civilization shattered by the Din supernova to a might-makes-right raider culture, their brutal reign over the Forest Moon under Terak, Charal, and General Yavid, and their sudden vanishing after Terak's death. Along the way: cargo-cult technology, exonyms and outsider naming, and what a fictional species' Legends history reveals about how real history gets written by outsiders.

Our ship went down on Endor, the forest moon that would one day decide the fate of the galaxy. In this episode of Star Lores, we explore the world beneath the canopy: the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village, the sinister Sanyassan Marauders and their Force-witch Charal, the spirits bound to Soul Trees, and the strange menagerie of boar-wolves, condor dragons, and Gorax that stalk its forests. It's a surprisingly deep corner of Star Wars Legends, shaped by decades of films, comics, and cartoons. And we're just getting started exploring it.
