Star Wars: Comics In Canon - Ep 0: Hello There!

Hello there and welcome to Star Wars Comics In Canon; your guide to the wider Star Wars canon through the comic-book lens! I’m your host Mike Burton - you may know me from the Genuine Chit-Chat podcast and for being the one with the abundance of Star Wars facts in the collaboration between Comics In Motion, 20th Century Geek & Genuine Chit-Chat in the journey to the Rise Of Skywalker! This release is just to outline what you can expect from these Saturday-slotted episodes on Comics In Motion’s fine feed – it’s for all Star Wars fans; younglings & veterans alike! Whether you’ve consumed all the content (I’d be impressed if you have) or are just a film newbie getting into a galaxy far far away, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this look into the wider Star Wars canon! 

Essentially, I’ll be doing an episode each week about a character, an event, a series of comics or something similar, talking about which comics are worth checking out, general plot points from them as well as some trivia and news – this show is recommended for those who have seen all 9 episodes of Star Wars as well as Solo & Rogue One. If you’ve seen Clone Wars & Rebels too, that helps but is definitely not a requirement. 

In this episode I also explain what Canon & Legends means in Star Wars, what the calendar regarding the battle of Yavin (BBY/ABY) means, a timeline of all current movies & series, a brief overview of what The High Republic era is, as well as giving a general overview on the comics/episodes to come. 

The first “proper” episode will be releasing shortly and I am more than happy to take any & all criticism or notes to ensure this is the best podcast it can be, so if you have any questions, pointers or just fancy a chat, send me an email at StarWarsComicsInCanon@outlook.com!

I am the host of a podcast called Genuine Chit-Chat where I speak with a different guest each week about a wide array of topics where no subject is off limits – GCC can be listened to in the same place you’re listening to this show, so there’s not excuse not to check it out! 

Chris & Dave were on episodes 63 & 75 of GCC and Mike was on episodes 75 & 100 of Comics In Motion! Find Mike @GenuineChitChat on Twitter, @Genuine_ChitChat on Instagram and /GenuineChitChat on Facebook!
