Episode 330 – The Legend of Alien Exodus

Posted on by

That’s right, this week we are finally talking about ALIEN EXODUS.   In the wild times of 1995, there almost was a trilogy of books by Hugo and Nebula award winning author Robert J. Sawyer that not only explained how humans came to the galaxy far, far away but boldly connected the Star Wars universe to THX-1138 and American Graffiti.  YES!  Join us as we explore how this came about, what the story would have been and how Earth really is just connected to Star Wars anyways!  AND – we hear from Robert J. Sawyer himself on how it all went down!

PLUS – SNOKETOBERFEST RETURNS!!  It’s 2022 and Snoketoberfest is running wild with the Snokey sounds between Snoke’s golden voice!  

So, phone home, listen today and celebrate the love!
