Aaron Allston Remembered; X-Wings, Wraiths, Rogues, Lord Nyax, Darth Caedus, Luke outcast, and more! All on the next Star Wars Beyond the Films. YOUR Star Wars discussion podcast! YOUR ticket to the EU!
This week true believers, Beyonders, Fanboys, Fangirls, respected aliens around the galaxy, The Defender of the EU; Mark Hurliman, and your EU Guru; Nathan P. Butler, sit down to remember the Man, the Myth, the LEGEND; Aaron Allston. Strap in and tighten your crash webbing Fandom, Star Wars Beyond the Films is setting off on another rapid-fire trip into the galaxy far, far away!
This week, your hosts take a moment to square things up after a recent iTunes review accused the show of some things that weren’t true. Where one situation, taken out of context, seemed to snowball into a misunderstanding about the show in general. Hoping to set things straight they forge on, and after a short heart to heart they move into the main topic; the remembering of Aaron Allston.
Aaron was the author of some of the best Star Wars Expanded Universe novels to ever come down the publishing line. Such great stories like X-Wing: Wraith Squadron, X-Wing: Iron Fist, X-Wing: Solo Command, Starfighters of Adumar, Enemy Lines I: Rebel Dream, Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand, The Pengalan Tradeoff, League of Spies, Legacy of the Force: Betrayal, Legacy of the Force: Exile, Legacy of the Force: Fury, Fate of the Jedi: Outcast, Fate of the Jedi: Backlash, Fate of the Jedi: Conviction, and X-Wing: Mercy Kill. So sad is our Fandom over his passing. Mr. Allston had a gentleness and a way about himself that made Fans feel welcome, and accepted. A man of rare quality who will be genuinely missed. May the Force be with you Sir. Always.
Your hosts cover all this and more this week!
Once again, your dynamic duo cover entirely too much Allston’s Epic Book(s) action in their ONE hour, but don’t worry, give it a go; you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you might even get a little education on the EU while you’re at it. But no matter how you slice it and dice it, you’ll be having another adventure Beyond the Films. So sit back, hang on, enjoy the show, and may the Force be with you!
