From the Butlerniverse

Never let it be said that The EU Review does not listen to its fans. Fellow host Andrew Lupi and I have been collaborating recently on new ideas for the show.

The one request we seem to hear most often is that we review Star Wars material that is not “brand new.” We have touched upon that from time to time with some of our reviews, but fans seem to want more “old stuff” being reviewed.

Meanwhile, I am still producing segments for the Star Wars collecting podcast Star Wars Action News, which puts me in a collecting mindset from time to time. Much of my collecting lately, though, has been in hunting down older, more obscure Star Wars Expanded Universe materials, such as the Ewoks comic book series.

Together, the idea of reviewing older materials and my hunt for oddball items has led us to the conclusion that we will be launching a new side series of episodes for The EU Review, entitled The Obscure Side. In these new, much shorter episodes, Andrew and I will take turns hosting an episode solo (rather than together) for short reviews of oddball items like, for example, Blackthorne Publishing’s Star Wars 3-D comic book series from 1987.

You should expect the first of these episodes sometime in the next month or so, but there will not be a set schedule for The Obscure Side. They will appear as time permits, making them a bit elusive, much like the items they cover.
