the thing is... if you love star wars? listen to campaign star wars. if you hate star wars? listen to campaign star wars. if you're indifferent or ambivalent towards star wars? listen to campaign star wars. it's more star wars than star wars. it's got nothing at all to do with star wars. it's the mythical 'star wars would be so good if it was good' content your soul has been yearning for all this time, not knowing it already exists. it has created a pocket dimension in fiction all to itself of being so entirely its own thing. it's one of the silliest and one of the most profound works of fiction I've ever experienced (and these two aspects are frequently not unrelated in a way I find paralleled only in like. pratchett). it's some of the cleverest transformative work you'll ever find and it uses that to do what you'd swear up and down is impossible at this point: provide a genuinely novel perspective on star wars. I know for a fucking fact that there are legions of you out there who would have space shrimp gender emotions over leenik geelo (leenik geelo from the mynock). listen to campaign star wars
(no need to listen to the prologue you can come back for context later if you'd like but it isn't essential! if you look for it on your podcast app of choice it'll probably be under 'campaign skyjacks', just scroll down to the oldest episodes and you'll find the star wars part of the podcast. also listen to campaign skyjacks it is very good and has giant birds in it.)
