a STAR WARS media hub and podcast - by fans, for fans
Yes, we know everyone is excited for the debut of the new immersive Star Wars experience that Disney and Lucasfilm have promised when Galaxy’s Edge opens later this year, that’s a no-brainer. And if you know the fine folks at Lucasfilm, then you knew there would be some great tie-in material announced to get heads Read More …
It’s been a little slow on the novel front lately, so I apologize for the lack of updates on our Canon Reading Guide. Having said that, it seemed like Timothy Zahn’s second foray into the new Star Wars canon, Thrawn: Alliances, deserves to be placed in the guide, so that’s what I’ve done. Although I went Read More …

It’s been almost six years since George Lucas sold his Lucasfilm empire to Disney for the sum of $4.05 billion dollars. At the time I – as a life-long Star Wars fan – was beyond delighted, as I knew we would be getting not only new films and content, but good films and content, driven Read More …
I’ve added the amazing Lando and Han novel, Last Shot by Daniel Jose Older, to my Reading Guide. While I didn’t feel it fell into the Essential Reading section, it lands firmly in the Expanding Your Universe category. Older does a great job of capturing young and old versions of Han and Lando on every Read More …
We’re back! After a long (too long) layoff, The Exhaust Port podcast is back with a rambling edition of Book Club!

Welcome to part two of my guide to navigating the world of Star Wars canon novels! By now you’ve (hopefully) read my previous post outlining what I consider to be essential works in the new canon, which will give you a rock-solid foundation as you begin your amazing journey deeper into all things Star Wars!

I am often asked by listeners and friends where they should start if they want to pick up reading Star Wars books. I have to admit, for the newbie, this must seem overwhelming, something I probably take for granted as a life-long Star Wars fiction fan. From the old expanded universe collection of novels and Read More …
It’s been a minute since our last edition of Canon Casting, our ongoing feature where we fan-cast various Star Wars projects. In the past we’ve covered novels like Thrawn, Bloodline, and the entire Aftermath trilogy, as well as Star Wars Rebels (through season three). I’ve got a few Canon Casting projects in the works but figured Read More …
Let us start by saying we had a blast at Greensboro Comicon a couple weekends ago, and got a ton of good audio, met lots of amazing fans, and enjoyed the vibe! Once in a while at a convention we have a guest (or guests) that merit a legit, fully numbered episode of The Exhaust Read More …
We are back at it with a brand-new addition to our awesome fan casting series, Canon Casting! So far we’ve tackled some theoretical projects, Bloodline, the Aftermath series, and Star Wars Rebels.

Alright, let me get this out of the way… When I first heard there was an entire novel coming about the tragically underused, almost throwaway character from The Force Awakens, Captain Phasma, I was bummed. I mean, there are so many awesome new characters and events to explore in this time period in the Star Read More …
