Why I’m Fully On Board with the Star Wars Publishing Trade Paperback Revolution

I’m pretty thrilled about the fact that both Star Wars canon and now select Legends titles are being published in the trade paperback format. Here are the reasons why I think you should join me in enthusiastically embracing the Star Wars Publishing Trade Paperback Revolution!

Mass Market Paperbacks: small print, hard to read without creasing the spine, easily ripped

Hardcovers: just so big, heavy, hard to read comfortably without additional support

Trade Paperbacks: Not too big, not too small, can open wide without creasing the spine, look great on the bookshelf, easily transportable

Also, who doesn’t love seeing that sweet, sweet consistency on the bookshelf?

I rest my case.

The second wave of the Star Wars: Legends, Essential Collection titles went on sale today. This release included X-wing: Rogue Squadron, the subject of our very first season of Rogue Podron! A full production, unabridged audiobook is on sale as well. Check them out and be sure to tweet at us as you binge your way through the podcast!

(Thanks to Del Rey for sending the Essential Legends books for me to review, like, three months ago. Sorry, I just got them, I was at summer camp.)

Rogue Podron Mission 8-6: Sheev’s All That

XWIsardsRevenge

All wings report in! This episode: X-wing: Isard’s Revenge, chapters 33-the end.

This is an episode of Sheev Podron in which we just get really excited about Sheev puns. We make our final predictions for the Last Jedi and then wrap up the latest in the X-sheev books with the typical aplomb you’ve come to expect from your sheevable rogues.

Rogue Podron Mission 8-5: Mr. Tangles Will Know the Truth

XWIsardsRevenge

All wings report in! This episode: X-wing: Isard’s Revenge, chapters 25-32.

This is an episode of Rogue Podron in which there’s a lot of eggplant imagery for some reason, and yet we managed to not even reference our favorite emoji once, so I’m gonna go ahead and give us a glistening bodhi for that. The most important part of this episode is that Corran and Isard work-out at the gym together.

This week’s question: Describe a Sheev/Isard date night.

Rogue Podron Mission 8-4: Your Broak Theory Sucks

XWIsardsRevenge

All wings report in! This episode: X-wing: Isard’s Revenge, chapters 19-24.

This is an episode of Rogue Podron in which everything is extremely nice. Nicest, perhaps, is the introduction of Broak Vessery, the most important character of the series so far. Join the podron as we are in awe of the way he walks down a hallway, places his hand on Wedge’s shoulder, and…….like, stands off to the side, I guess?

This week’s question: What is your super sexy head-canon about Broak Vessery? Fanfics and/or fanart encouraged.
