Welcome to Star Wars Beyond the Films!

Your Hosts: Mark Hurliman, and Jim Lehane have been members of the Fandom for multiple decades. Mark joined the podcasting world when he joined EUCast in the summer of 2007. Jim's first podcast was actually Beyond the Films, he was a guest host for episode 170: Heir to the Jedi back in 2015.

This episode your hosts explore the era set after Return of the Jedi, where the New Republic is struggling to build itself up in a Galaxy that doesn’t know who to believe anymore. And leading the New Republic Forces are none other than the pilots of Rogue Squadron. While the roster of the squadron is ever changing, what do we know about our current pilots? Wedge was surprised to learn one of his pilots is literal Royaltee! But then again, so was the Princess! All this, and more, on the next Star Wars Beyond the Films.
