    Jon sent me
    Such a good podcast. Thanks Jef and Jon for giving me the funnies and the chuckles.

    Exactly what I need in a book review
    I only read a few of the expanded universe books as a kid, and this is definitely a good source to decide if I want to read any of them now. (While mostly the answer is “no”, they did make me interested in some of the stories in Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina) It’s a great overview of the plots of the books along with the classic Jeff and John roasting of the material.

    Hork up them dangle hams, kids!
    It's a rare treat when a poorly written novel can become the highlight of my day. System Mastery skillfully retells the story of rather unfortunate Star Wars EU books and, God, they're really, really funny. Just like, "I-hate-myself-for-listening-to-this-while-I'm-driving-because-I'm-choking-on-my-spit-oh-god-send-help" funny. Their nerdy storm trooper voice should be recorded and placed in a museum for future generations to hear. If you're not sure about listening, DO IT. The fact that you're a nerd interested enough in Star Wars expanded universe lore means you will appreciate this podcast.

    More fun than a pack of deathsticks.
    Thanks to Jef and Jon, I can laugh my way through the expanded universe ex-cannon without having to pick up a book!

    Cannot. Stop. Laughing.
    Jon and Jef are masters of comedy. That it's nerd comedy only makes it even more Perfect. MAKE EXPOUNDED UNIVERSE SHIRTS

    Lovely information and hosts
    I read a lot of EU books as a kid. Listening to this podcast not only reminds me of all the ridiculous things I was reading as a 9 year old, but keeps me entertained the entire time. Informational and funny? Nothing better. Thanks for providing this service to us, ya'll! I appreciate you!!

    Five severed hands up
    I have always wanted to listen to funny folk tear into the disaster that is the Star Wars EU. Definitely worth a listen to anyone that can laugh at goofy old genre fiction.

    System Masters FTW
    The System Masters Jef and Jon seem to enjoy making this content, a refreshing break from reviewing role playing game systems I suppose. They are just having fun and it makes it fun to listen to. Thank you System Masters for uncovering the deepest darkest secrets of a universe expounded in ways that it never should of been. Xizor compels you to give it a listen.

    For fans and non-fans alike!
    A hilarious deep dive into parts of the Star Wars saga that some fans would prefer to forget. If you are one of those fans, you will love listening to these guys share your pain. If, like me, you've never heard the names Dash Rendar or Prince Xisor in your life, you'll love how deep and how crazy this rabbit hole goes.

    For the love of the force.
    This podcast has bothered to enhance my knowledge of the expanded universe of Star Wars in a fun and entertaining way. I like it enough to spend time out of my day to write a review. What more do you want?! Blood? Well you'll have to earn it! Come at me you fiend! Just listen to an episode and enjoy.

    Who gave the dog a crossbow and two bachelor's degrees?
    Have you ever wondered just how terrible the Star Wars EU is, but were too afraid to ask? Now, you don't have to!

    After going home and rethinking my life I have decided that this podcast is better than death sticks.

    Laugh Your Karking Butt Off
    This is my favorite book review podcast. Period. The guys lovingly tear old, terrible Star Wars novels to shreds, piece by piece in hilarious detail. Star Wars is a ridiculous beast of a universe that I love, and these guys celebrate it in all its nonsensical glory. This consistently jumps to the top of my listening queue whenever I see a new episode come up.
