Wookieepedia Wednesday returns with an episode that's about as all over the place as a 5 minute podcast could be.  Today, I talk about pick-axes, the Brolfs, the Karths, and Jorus C'baoth's Outbound Flight.

JJ Abrams and Chris Terrio claimed that they scrapped everything that Colin Treverrow worked on for Episode 9 and started from scratch when they came on board to write and direct The Rise of Skywalker.  But does their story check out?  I look at the Rey and Kylo Ren storyline from the Treverrow script to compare it with their story arcs in The Rise of Skywalker.

All of my social timelines exploded over the past few days with hot takes and screen caps of Colin Treverrow's draft script for Episode 9, which was titled "Duel of the Fates."  But the question was, should I read it?  Or should I just leave it alone?  I talk about that today on the podcast.

We made it to the end of another week here on Jump to Lightspeed!  Today I'm looking at in-universe books, of which there aren't too many.  And the ones that do exist are impossible to pronounce correctly the first time through.

I love Star Wars books, and so do my kids!  So today on the podcast I'm doing a run-down of all of the great books for young readers that have already been announced for 2020.  Will anything from Project Luminous be included?  Probably not.  So I didn't talk about that at all.

I love Star Wars books, and so today on the podcast I'm doing a run-down of all of the great adult and young-adult books already announced as coming out in 2020.  I also notice a gaping hole in the lineup and try to figure out what could yet be announced, perhaps a lot sooner than we were expecting.

The story of the life of Darth Plagueis has been relegated to Legends, but did the fine folks at Lucasfilm mine that continuity for inclusion in The Rise of Skywalker or any of the other sequal trilogy films?  Like much of what I've talked about this week, the answer is a resounding... maybe?

Earlier this week I covered the Rise of Darth Plagueis the Wise, so today I'm going to cover his time as Sidious' immediate supervisor, and get into the unexpected details of his fall.

It's a landmark day for Wookieepedia Wednesday episodes as I was randomly assigned an actual real life performer today!  This episode is all about American actor Larry Brandenburg and his single contribution to the lore of Star Wars.

Plagueis week rolls on with an overview of his origin story (as told in the Legends continuity), as well as the tale of how Sidious came to be his apprentice.

Getting used to my new hosting platform, so please excuse the lack of frills on these show notes.  

Today begins Darth Plagueis week on Jump To Lightspeed, and I'm checking in with what the canon actually says about this particular Dark Lord of the Sith.  There's not a lot, but its deceptively dense bundle of information!
