260: Obi-Wan Kenobi: One Year Later

A Star Wars literary podcast that strives to deliver an educational and yet, entertaining analysis and outlook, pertaining to the new canonical novels/YA books from the galaxy far, far away.  In other words, Becca and Mark are your guardians to the Whills and your librarians to the long-lost Jedi Archives.

I normally refrain from reviewing my own work, but today I&#39;m making an exception as I&#39;m not really reviewing myself as I am my co-host, Mark Sutter. That said, I&#39;d like to thank him for sticking with me through these past 4-5 years, and for the whole duration of the Sequel Trilogy. It&#39;s been quite the journey and we, as a team, have come a long way since The Force Awakens. So, without further ado, thanks, Mark for making the time to talk Star Wars with me and for editing every single show to make it what it is today. Hopefully, James Arnold Taylor is right in that, Tarkin&#39;s Top Shelf is a Top Shelf Show.

Tarkin's Top Shelf is a top shelf show. Indeed.

Good sound quality, insightful reviews. Good stuff.

Fun stuff

Episode 47 In Review: Solo: A Star Wars Story Expanded Edition 

In this episode of "Tarkin's Top Shelf," Mark, and Becca break-in the binding of those so-called,  Sacred Jedi Texts. Well, figuratively speaking, of course. Star Wars is full of many mythical themes and story tropes, and also religion and spirituality too. A lot of these aspects are repetitive, sprinkled throughout the generations of the Star Wars saga. And mostly showcased in the  Skywalker line or legacy, starting with Anakin Skywalker. So, without further ado, hit that play button and kick back with some Sacred Jedi Texts exploration, from a Biblical lens.

Episode 87: “Secrets and Visuals” of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

 The hosts of "Tarkin's Top Shelf" sit-down to talk about worldbuilding in Star Wars. Mark and Becca discuss the growing galaxy of Star Wars between the books and on screen. In other words, the future of Star Wars is bright! In fact, so bright that the galaxy far, far away is extending well beyond the unknown regions. Well, from a certain point of view, of course.  Star Wars is worldbuilding with additions like  The Mandalorian and the  Cassian Andor series and the animation shows of  Star Wars Resistance, and the return of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. No to mention, more books like  The Queen's Shadow and Master and Apprentice, and The Alphabet Squadron. Oh, and let's not forget the new Vader's Castle comics series. Yes, it would appear that there is no end in sight for Star Wars and that's a good thing, right? After all, these new extensions will only enhance the stories from a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. That said, don't miss out on this thought-provoking episode on Star Wars Worldbuilding: Between Books and On Screen.
