EP 19 JAMES LUCENO: ARCHITECT OF THE DARK SIDE
He shaped the lore of Palpatine, Plagueis, and the rise of the Empire. In this episode of Star Wars Jedi Chat, we sit down with James Luceno—author of Darth Plagueis, Tarkin, Cloak of Deception, and more. We dig into how he built the Dark Side from the ground up, what Lucasfilm told him he could—and couldn’t—write, and what it really takes to craft Star Wars canon. If you love deep lore and behind-the-scenes insight, this one’s for you.
