• Pray I Don't Alter It Any Further (The Empire Strikes Back)
    Sep 8 2025

    This week join Rogue 4 Miff and Rogue 13 Nak as they discuss The Empire Strikes Back, both the novelization by Donald Glut and the film. The book was…. not great. It wasn't bad, it was no Splinter of the Mind's Eye! But it wasn't good. We discuss Land of the Lost and learn some very personal details about Miff, as well as the fact that neither Miff nor Nak can do a Harrison Ford impression. Also expect speculation on Space Shakespeare's The Taming of the Tauntaun. Join us in 2 weeks when we cover Brian Daley's final Han Solo novel, Han Solo and the Lost Legacy.


    Sorry for the long episode despite our claims that it would be a 2-parter; it ended up being just too short to reasonably split!

  • You Need A Damn Plumber! (Han Solo's Revenge)
    Aug 25 2025

    Your hosts Hobart Floyt and Alacrity Fitzhugh are back with the second of Brian Daley's Han Solo novels, Han Solo's Revenge. Hey it's another pretty good one! This week we discuss clowns, Revolver Ocelot, Pluto (surprise!) and pterosaur anatomy. You'll also learn the difference between Repo Man and Repo Men. Note to astute listeners: We recorded this episode on June 8th, shortly after Deltarune Chapters 3+4 came out, and before Alacrity Fitzhugh had the chance to play them.


    Episode 3 of SURVEY_PROGRAM: A podcast about DELTARUNE, which Alacrity Fitzhugh was the guest on last week, can be found at https://gruppeshrike.net/surveyprogram/3; or on your podcast app of choice.

  • A Meat-Eatin' Rocket-Ridin' Rabbit Ta You! (Star Wars Omnibus A Long Time Ago... Vol 1)
    Aug 11 2025


    In this episode of We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar, hosts Jazx and Bubsee read Star Wars Omnibus: A Long Time Ago… Volume 1 (not to be confused with Star Wars: A Long Time Ago… Volume 1), which collects the first 27 issues of the original Star Wars Marvel Comics (also referred to as Star Wars (1977)). Not a bad collection! We go for Apostle Paul's throat for absolutely no reason (besides the fact that he's the worst) this week. Literally no reason. Jazx doesn't know the bible very well.

  • To Destroy Is To Serve, Exalted Sir (Han Solo At Stars' End)
    Jul 28 2025

    This week, your hosts Feevee Bogo and Dibby Cut-Me-Throat read Han Solo At Stars' End by Brian Daley. By the Original Light, this book is really really good! It's got a mild space noir thing going on that's absolutely delightful. Problem is, this episode is not free of references to Chronicles of Riddick.

  • I Can Feel My Creation (The Star Wars Holiday Special)
    Jul 14 2025

    For this episode of We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar, hosts Itchy and Cysty watched The Star Wars Holiday Special, which aired on CBS on November 17, 1978. In brief, Star Wars fans are weenies and this goofy little thing is really good! We discuss Cats (2019), Rebellion propaganda cartoons, John C Lilly, and the merits of grandpa watching VR smut in the living room.

    Join us again in 2 weeks when we'll discuss the excellent Han Solo At Stars' End by Brian Daley.

  • Steel Kitten (Splinter of the Mind's Eye)
    Jun 30 2025

    This week, your hosts Wan and Ker read Splinter of the Mind's Eye by Alan Dean Foster, the first Star Wars Extended Universe novel. This book was really racist! One sentence summary of this episode of We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar: Don't read this book. We promise things get better from here.

    Join us again in 2 weeks for our much more positive episode about The Star Wars Holiday Special.
