Written by Admin | posted in Listen, Ossus Academy | 6 Comments |

If you thought Session 8 was an ear-full, you have more on the way! In Session 9, Leo and Evan put the finishing touches on the essential Star Wars reading list, take a look at the three epic storylines that have been at the forefront of the books since 1999, and they also get to answer lots of questions from the class. Do the guys like to talk? Yeah, but remember, you asked for this!

Please do take the time after you’re done listening to come visit them over at the MER forums, the home for the Mos Eisley Radio Community!

Ossus Academy Session 8 Part 1

It’s time for another long lesson, folks. After many requests, Leo and Evan have collaborated to bring you their own personal complete reading list. This is their take on what Star Wars books you should spend your time and money reading, so if you hear books you might not expect and don’t hear some you thought should be on there, it’s just two guys’ opinions. We like to think they’re pretty, good, though.

The recording came out much longer than anticipated, so you can expect part two of the lesson to arrive in just one week’s time! As always, thanks for listening!

Music for this episode comes from selections of the Star Wars: The Old Republic Original Soundtrack. These are just some of the free tracks BioWare made available on Facebook. Big thank you to them and the whole musical team over there!

After you’re done yelling at the your iPod because you disagree so whole-heartedly with our evaluations of these books, head on over to the forums and tell us what you think should have been on there!

Leo and Evan return for another infotaining session of lore talk from Star Wars: The Old Republic. This lesson features not one, not two, but three species briefings. Among the topics: Asajj Ventriss gets a free species change. Also, google-search the literary phrase “Mary Sue.” You might find it useful.

Ossus Academy Session Six

Since everyone’s looking forward to having new species/class combinations with the Legacy game update, we thought a look at the hottest Imperial species would be in order. Of course, we mean the Chiss, the mysterious species from the Outer Rim, made famous by Grand Admiral Thrawn from author Timothy Zahn’s groundbreaking trilogy. Don’t worry; we go over all that information in painful detail.

First off, we apologize for the sound quality. It was rather harrowing getting this episode accomplished at all, but it’s a double-sized episode and we thought it was worth putting out.

After we received a question from the class regarding the lore found in past Star Wars video games, we decided it needed its own episode as opposed to a short answer at the end of a show. This extra thick episode was made possible only by Leo dedicating time to intense research and making sure we hit all the important bases (like he minded all the “work.”)
