Wraith Squadron Roundtable

The Wraiths have arrived! In this episode we discuss Aaron Allston’s Wraith Squadron, the story of Wedge Antilles assembling a squadron of damaged, dangerous, and deeply weird misfits for the New Republic’s most unconventional missions. We talk characters, covert operations, Allston’s unique blend of humor and heartbreak, and why Wraith Squadron works so well as a team. And, naturally, we ask some questions that the New Republic probably wishes we hadn’t.

We're back from our summer break and ready to usher in a new season of Star Wars Legends content! This week we catch up on the news, acquisitions, life changes, and put our EU knowledge to the test—but the results were NOT what we expected. . .

The Youtini team gathered for a company retreat in Charolette, North Carolina where we had the awesome opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been, plan for the future, and celebrate the galaxy we all know and love. In this special episode, Jared is joined by a menagerie of characters from the Youtini Expanded Universe for a couple of unhinged segments—Stump the Legends Newbie and Hot Takes (Legends Edition).

A desperate smuggler. A Jedi on the edge.

May the Fourth be with you! In this special Star Wars Day episode, the Legends Lookback crew kicks off our Legends Hall of Fame: Mount Rushmore Edition, where we celebrate the very best (and most chaotic) characters from across the Expanded Universe. From legendary Jedi and Sith to underrated favorites and wildly divisive figures, we nominate, debate, and occasionally spiral into complete nonsense. It’s a mix of nostalgia, humor, and passionate fandom as we honor the characters who defined Star Wars Legends.

This week, we’re taking a break from book roundtables for a chaotic deep dive into the emotional baggage of a galaxy far, far away. In “Therapy Time with Rick,” we put iconic Legends characters like Mara Jade, Jacen Solo, and Darth Revan on the couch to unpack their trauma, questionable coping mechanisms, and wildly unorthodox paths to healing. Along the way, we debate the best (and worst) interventions and attempt to answer the ultimate question: could a little therapy have saved the galaxy? It’s insightful, ridiculous, and just unstable enough to require professional supervision.JOIN OUR COMMUNITY▶ Website https://www.youtini.com▶ Discord https://www.youtini.com/discord▶ X https://x.com/LegendsLookback▶ We’re on Instagram▶ Legends Lookback Email | [email protected]▶Newsletter — https://youtini-dispatch.beehiiv.com/subscribeFIND MORE EPISODES▶Find our back catalog of episode at the Youtini Vault▶Find us on Spotify▶We’re back on YouTube!

This week we’re diving into Maul: Lockdown—a brutal, high-octane story that drops Darth Maul into a gladiator prison where survival is optional and chaos is guaranteed. As Maul goes undercover to track down a deadly superweapon for Darth Sidious, he battles through inmates, crime lords like Jabba the Hutt, and some truly nightmare-fuel creatures—all while barely breaking a sweat. We break down the story, explore what it adds to Maul’s character, and ask the important question: what happens when you throw the galaxy’s most dangerous Sith into the worst prison imaginable? Spoiler: it goes very badly for everyone else.Check us out on X @legendslookbackInstagramWe’re back on YouTube!

This week on Legends Lookback, we dive into one of the most mysterious and terrifying Sith Lords in Star Wars Legends: Darth Nihilus. Introduced in Knights of the Old Republic II, Nihilus isn’t just another dark side villain—he’s a wound in the Force itself, driven by an endless hunger that can drain the life from entire worlds. We explore the origins of this haunting character, the eerie lore behind his mask and silent presence, and what his existence reveals about the nature of the Force. Along the way, we debate whether Nihilus is truly one of the most powerful Sith in history or simply the most dangerous anomaly the galaxy has ever seen.JOIN OUR COMMUNITY▶ Website https://www.youtini.com▶ Discord https://www.youtini.com/discord▶ X https://x.com/LegendsLookback▶ We’re on Instagram▶ Legends Lookback Email | [email protected]▶Newsletter — https://youtini-dispatch.beehiiv.com/subscribeFIND MORE EPISODES▶Find our back catalog of episode at the Youtini Vault▶Find us on Spotify▶We’re back on YouTube!

In this episode, we dive into Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader by James Luceno and explore the brutal, emotional aftermath of Order 66. We follow Vader’s first uneasy steps as the Emperor’s enforcer — wrestling with his new armor, his shattered identity, and a galaxy that still remembers Anakin Skywalker — while a handful of surviving Jedi struggle to accept that their war, and their Order, is truly over. From Kashyyyk’s tragedy to Vader’s early lightsaber clashes, we break down the character depth, the creeping weight of Imperial rule, and whether this novel is more a story about the rise of a Sith… or the extinction of hope.Description goes hereCheck us out on X @legendslookbackInstagramWe’re back on YouTube!

It’s getting dark in here, so tune into this episode of Legends Lookback! We’re introducing a new season of Sith-related content. In this episode we’ll be discussing and debating why books about Sith Lords are so great and selecting books to cover on upcoming roundtable episodes.
