Today is a special day. There is officially a third prawn, the mantis prawn. Sterling has decided to take over editing duties. That meant Dave, knowing someone else had to cut irrelevant audio, decided to go a little nuts. Kris behaved normally. There will be a lot of off topic conversation, as usual. You can find a more detailed summary of the book here.  Talking Points: Star Wars, Star Wars Books, Star Wars Legends, Star Wars Canon, Revan, The Old Republic, Knights of the Old Republic, KOTOR, Bastilla, Drew Karpyshyn, The Princess Diarist, The original script for Star Wars, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Han Solo is bad at sex, New Media

This week, the Prawns discuss Han Solo issue 3 and Poe Dameron issue 3. They also discuss some interesting questions they have about the Star Wars universe. There's a lot of talk about kaiju and the one Star Wars porn parody one of the Prawns has seen (guess which one!). Keep in mind, this episode was recorded in advance of the previous one...they were more innocent then. This episode was edited by a new friend--more on that NEXT TIME!   Talking Points: Star Wars, Star Wars Canon, Star Wars Legends, Star Wars Comics, Star Wars Books, Poe Dameron, Han Solo, Metal Camels, Metal Cows, Job Interviews, Totally Legitimate Questions About the Star Wars Universe, Star Wars fetishes, Steve Blum

THERE ARE DR. STRANGE SPOILERS IN THIS EPISODE.  Well it's a very special occasion. The Prawns are finally starting their second book--also some other thing happened that they'll address a little at the beginning and end. They're trying out a new format, so don't hesitate to give them some feedback. They also discuss the many unreleased KOTOR sequels.

Because they need a break, Kris and David recorded another episode about the Han Solo and Poe Dameron comics. As always, they, get very off topic, and they talk about the DC movies for some reason. Eventually they come out with something resembling a proper commentary on these two comic books arcs. Check out our new Tumblr. The survey for the next canon book will be up there soon!    Talking Points: Star Wars, Star Wars Canon, Star Wars Fiction, Star Wars Comics, Star Wars Legends, Star War Aftermath, Poe Dameron, Han Solo, Terex, Empire, Millennium Falcon Sex Life, Marvel's Call Outs, Agent T, the Resistance, Bloodline, Aftermath Life Debt

The guys get together for their final discussion of Star Wars: Aftermath, by Chuck Wendig, and boy does it get silly. After realizing they don’t have anything left to say about the end of this book, they decide to revisit the interludes featured in this book. They basically spend an hour and a half pitching Star Wars mash-ups. Everyone on staff begged them not to do it. They said they’d quit if we made them redo it. Anyways, this one is very silly.   Listener survey:  http://survey.podtrac.com/start-survey.aspx?pubid=qGKeeKg2qauo&ver=standard     Talking points: Star Wars, Star Wars: Aftermath, Chuck Wendig, Star Wars books, Star Wars canon, Luke Skywalker, Chuck Wendig, Columbo, Alf, Third Rock from the Sun, Robin Williams, THIS IS THE END MY ONLY FRIEND THE END

They're back! After a short break (that lasted longer than expected) the boys are back to talk about a whole lot of Aftermath. Fair warning, they get a little silly and talk mostly about the interludes, rather than the chapters themselves. Davey also talks about the movie Angus for some reason, so it's safe to say this is an unorthodox episode. THERE IS STRONG LANGUAGE AND DISCUSSION OF CHILD ABUSE. This time the Prawns draw fewer conclusions and end up pitching a whole slew of spin-off books.

In which Kris and Davey discuss this section of Star Wars: Aftermath for the third time, realize they might be losing their energy, and try augmenting the format yet  again. They'll talk about the way iconic characters are used and the lingering effect Legends has on this new canon. There are crickets in the background since they recorded on Dagobah. Davey also brings up Spider-man--again. We apologize for the delay on this episode! Next week is comics!

Welcome to the second episode! Davey and Kris get silly and serious once more, as they discuss the way identity is handled in genre fiction. Davey admits (and demonstrates) he's a bad person, but still feels confident enough to judge other people's parenting, specifically Norra Wexley's. Kris vents about the abundance of Easter eggs, and in the end he puts out a call to action to our listeners.   Please consider subscribing and filling out the listener survey below:   http://survey.podtrac.com/start-survey.aspx?pubid=qGKeeKg2qauo&ver=standard   Talking points: inclusivity, sexuality, science fiction, Chuck Wendig's writing style, A New Hope, Star Wars: Aftermath, Disney's spaghetti habits, the new canon, job interviews, Jas Emari's paranoia, Norra Wexley's trauma, drugging your temperamental son, the IFC's eating habits, eating like the steward of Gondor, Mon Mothma

This is the first episode of Holoprawns! Kris and Davey (Dave? David?) talk all about the first six chapters of Chuck Wendig's book Star Wars: Aftermath. It's mostly heavy stuff, but they get a little bit silly down the line. SPOILERS ABOUND!
