Rip: Eu

A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far from Canon . . . If you grew up reading, eating, breathing and sleeping Star Wars then there's a good chance that the release of Episode VII has effectively wiped out the only Star Wars Universe you've ever known. But fear not, here at RIP: EU those stories are all getting a second chance. We're here to help you relive all of the awkward, nonsensical, strange and downright baffling events of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Follow along each episode as we read, discuss and ultimately decide on the fate of each story in the EU. After an extended hiatus we're back with a review and extended discussion of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. If you listened to our trailer review, you'll know that we kept our expectations...low. Tune in this week to find out what each of us has to think. We play a fun game of "Rank the Movies" and come out with totally opposite lists that leave each of us scratching our heads. Next week we're back with the third installment of Rogue Squadron! Fin

This week things begin to look up and we -- get this -- actually kind of like this book, or at least James does. Ben has his reservations but egregious descriptions (and our ensuing dialogue) aside...it's all pretty much uphill.

Follow along each episode as we read, discuss and ultimately decide on the fate of each story in the EU. We're back with another Solos episode. This week we're digging into our favorite (first?) Star Wars memory. Ben has very few since most of his mental circuitry is taken up by useless Star Wars trivia. James traces the origins of his cinephilia and accidentally triggers a Proustian moment of recollection in Ben. Hit us up on Twitter or Facebook and let us know about your own Star Wars memories and we'll talk about them next episode. Find us on Fa
