You’re going to love getting to know Freddy’s new best friend, Christian Gossett. Artist on Tales of the Jedi and creator of the double-bladed lightsaber, Christian helped shape a beloved era of Star Wars back in the 90s. We became fast friends and learned so much from his mindset, approach, work ethic, and personality. Enjoy!

James Luceno Interview (Legacy Expo)
Have you ever heard the legend of James Luceno the wise? Now you can hear from this brilliant author directly from the source because Jared and Freddy sat down with him for a phenomenal chat at Legacy Expo. He is the author of great Star Wars books like Darth Plagueis, Cloak of Deception, Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, and several books in the New Jedi Order including its epic finale, The Unifying Force. We asked him about the development of the NJO, many mind-blowing behind-the-scenes details, and also what it was like crafting such a dark and twisted tale as Darth Plagueis. You’re going to love this one.

Live from Legacy Expo - Ep 182
Recorded in front of a live, in-person audience, Jared and Freddy recorded this episode on September 14th at Legacy Expo in Burbank, California. This special episode is a philosophical exploration into what makes the dark side so seductive by analyzing the journeys of specific Legends characters including the great Sith of the EU: Darth Revan, Darth Bane, Darth Plagueis, and Darth Caedus. They recap each individual's fall to the dark side, debate their motivations and rationale, and discuss what sets these particular characters apart as Sith Lords. They then include an opportunity for Legacy Expo attendees to give their input on what makes each of these characters memorable to the EU today.
