A Galaxy Far Far Away: A Star Wars history podcast

Happy 40th Anniversary of the release of The Empire Strikes Back! In this episode we finally hear about the war between the Empires of Xim and the Hutts! We hear about numerous mercenary alien species that we have seen on screen already without even knowing it. Also I have launched the podcast Patreon, please consider checking it out. www.patreon.com/agalaxyfarfaraway

Xim the Despot conquers the Tion Cluster and expands his Tionese empire until he runs smack into the Hutt Empire; war is inevitable. Learn about human colonization of the Star Wars Galaxy starting from their original home on Coruscant. Han Solo figures surprisingly frequently into a story that happens 12,000 years before he is born. All of this sets the ground work for the next major galactic war.

Special Episode: The origin of the Star Wars Day celebration; how do I and some of my listeners celebrate Star Wars Day; and I have some friends on as special guests to talk about which Star Wars film is each of our favorite. Keep up to date and interact to be featured in future episodes at swgalaxypodcast.com

Jabba the Hutt is a very recognizable character in the Star Wars universe. Learn about the origins of his species, the Hutts, along with some culture, physiology, and movie trivia. This starts to establish the context for later galactic conflicts that are just around the bend. Also, visit the "Audience Interaction" page on the website swgalaxypodcast.com and tell me how you celebrate Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you) and your comments might be featured on the next episode!

In this episode learn all about the most famous weapon in Star Wars, the lightsaber! How were they developed? How do they work? How do Jedi keep from cutting themselves in half all the time??? Also we learn a little about the guns and armor in Star Wars as well as a funny secret about Lando Calrissian's gas mining operation on Cloud city.

Learn about the first civil war within the Jedi ranks occurring 25,000 years before the Original Trilogy films. Some members of the Jedi order aren't happy with all the rules. Who will prevail?

In this episode I discuss various holidays and celebrations that exist within the Star Wars galaxy.

We begin our story about the origins of the Jedi order on the planet Tython from the perspective of three young Je'daii who are guided by the Force to a stranger of almost total Darkness.

The start of my first podcast. I will discuss introductory information so that everyone knows what to expect. I give a very brief summary of the first six movies so that everyone's memory is refreshed as to characters and concepts we will be talking about and then I discuss the very earliest days of the Star Wars Galaxy.
