Happy Halloween! We are celebrating the spooky season with a discussion of Cavan Scott’s Tales from the Rancor Pit.
We have had great fun over the years celebrating Halloween here on Podcast Stardust. This year, to get the festivities started we are discussing Cavan Scott’s Tales from the Rancor Pit. Scott has created quite a collection of spooky Star Wars stories over the years, and this edition, which came out in 2023, is another good one. In this episode, you’ll find us talking about droids coming back from the dead, werewolf like monsters, and an adventure featuring some of our heroes from the original trilogy. It is never too early to get Halloween started, so join us for this episode of Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall, non-spoiler thoughts on Tales from the Rancor Pit,
- The framing story featuring Captain Vaclav trying to placate Jabba the Hutt,
- “Undead” droids rising from the dead to get their revenge on General Kazameer during the Clone Wars,
- A High Republic adventure featuring Ty Yorrick hunting some monsters,
- A story set on Hoth featuring Han, Leia, and Chewbacca dealing with scared Wampas, and
- The resolution to Captain Vaclav’s plight.
Thanks for joining us for another episode. Please subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts and spread the word to all of your Star Wars friends. May the Force be with you!
