University of Coruscant 4:6 Mara Jade
March 22, 2023 13:47 - 33 minutes - 31 MBWell, this is it. The end of an era for me. The last episode of the University of Coruscant. It's been joyful and difficult and exciting and challenging and basically all the emotions in the middle. This last season has been a two year project and so I thought I'd end it with a big bang. You get a super long episode today featuring my two podcast partners JB and Kash, as well as the excellent work by special guest Noah Benjamin. And a special special guest appearance by one of the biggest fa...
University of Coruscant 4:5 Corran Horn
March 08, 2023 16:04 - 16 minutes - 15 MBPart cop, part jedi, all badass. Corran Horn is one of my favorite characters because he is the embodiment of a very simple, yet hard to achieve lesson in life. Be yourself. Not just the parts of yourself that you like, or the parts you wish you were, but truly yourself. Don't swim upstream against your natural tendencies. Harness them and point them in the direction you want to go. Corran Horn was an amazing jedi and an even better life lesson. All that and Katelyn Mathis from Future of t...
University of Coruscant 4:4 Jocasta Nu
March 01, 2023 21:18 - 12 minutes - 11.4 MBEver wonder if the baddest librarian in history could take down the most feared villain in the galaxy? Well, that question might not be as ridiculous as one might think. It nearly happened. But it takes a pretty special librarian. Jocasta Nu is probably the single most interesting librarian in history, historical or fiction. Prove me wrong. Special thanks to the raddest archivist around, Rob from Jedi Temple Archives Podcast @JTAPodcast for his hilarious voice acting. Hang loose, bro.
University of Coruscant 4:3 Shaak Ti
February 22, 2023 13:54 - 20 minutes - 19 MBThe Mother of Clones, Shaak Ti. And yet, not a great mother of jedi. You'd think after going 0-2 in the padawan surviving category, maybe you're not life-coach material. But that didn't stop Shaak Ti from being assigned the wellbeing of millions of clones. And that's not even the best part. She had 5 deaths. Not all at once... well, you'll just have to listen for the explanation. All that, and the fantastic voiceacting of Noah Benjamin as Ferris. You're going to love it.
University of Coruscant 4:2 Yaddle
February 13, 2023 11:00 - 19 minutes - 17.8 MBYaddle. The other green one. Ok. The other OTHER green one. Still, Yaddle is the quintessential forgotten jedi. Forever in the shadow of master Yoda, Yaddle was quite the jedi in her own right. And by the stars we're going to tell her story. Special thanks to Around The Galaxy host Pete Fletzer for his fantastic radio DJ voiceacting.
University of Coruscant 4:1 Sifo-Dyas
February 08, 2023 12:00 - 21 minutes - 20.3 MBWelcome back to the University of Coruscant. It's been a minute since the last semester, but we're going to say that's because we've got a force-load of goodness waiting for you in Season 4. Starting with the guy who arguably ruined the galaxy, Sifo-Dyas, we're going to talking "Lesser Known Jedi" all semester. And boy, do we have some surprises in store for Dr. Ravencourt, Todd and a band of surprise characters and voice actors. You're gonna love it. Check out all our work at universityo...
University of Coruscant: Semester 3 Syllabus
December 17, 2021 22:02 - 2 hours - 209 MBYou still think all-nighters are a good idea? Well, good luck. The entirety of semester 3 of Galactic History, Ancient Sith, all in one holo.
University of Coruscant 3:9 Revan and Malak
January 04, 2021 10:00 - 24 minutes - 58.3 MBAll things must end, and so must another semester at the University of Coruscant. But not before we go out with a banger. Revan and Malak. A buddy movie for the ages, if buddy movies also included a lot of death and some disfigurement. Still, a tremendous story with cool helmets.
University of Coruscant 3:8 Naga Sadow
November 23, 2020 11:00 - 17 minutes - 41.4 MBBack on Coruscant. In a steamtub. What better place to wallow in your misery after the disaster of a holodrama; Tauntaunado..... or was it? Join Dr. Ravencourt and, of course, Todd in the penultimate episode of the season and listen to the tale of Naga Sadow, the Sith Lord who took the first bold step.
University of Coruscant 3:7 Darth Malgus
November 09, 2020 09:00 - 18 minutes - 42.8 MBThere's plenty of reasons to be scared of a Sith Lord. They're manipulative, they're diabolical, they are the power behind the power. But then there's the kind of Sith Lords that would rather just mow down a battlefield of soldiers like blades of grass. You should probably be really scared of those ones. Join Dr. Ravencourt as he talks about Darth Malgus, completes his work on the holodrama Tauntaunado and gets his paycheck... kinda.
University of Coruscant 3:6 Darth Treya
October 21, 2020 11:33 - 15 minutes - 37.8 MBTauntauns are special creatures. Unless they're digitally created monsters that make no sense in the context of the movie plot, whatever that is. Gerry the Canon Junkie of The Bombadcast guest voices a spectacular character in this excellent episode about perhaps the deepest character story of any Sith in Star Wars history, Darth Treya.
University of Coruscant 3:5 Exar Kun
October 07, 2020 06:02 - 16 minutes - 38.2 MBLife on the set of a holodrama can be great. And sometimes it's not. Particularly the food. Join Dr. Ravencourt and Todd as they trudge through another questionable day of holodrama making and enjoy a great lecture on maybe the most arrogant Sith Lord of all time, Exar Kun.
University of Coruscant 3:4 Darth Vitiate
September 24, 2020 01:07 - 15 minutes - 36.3 MBTodd and Dr. Ravencourt continue to muddle through the recording of Tauntaunado when they meet a slightly overzealous security guard (Tony of Guard Frequency). Things predictably go awry, but hey, you get a lecture on perhaps the most ambitious Sith lord of all time while we're at it.
University of Coruscant 3:3 Darth Zannah
September 09, 2020 10:00 - 18 minutes - 42.6 MBEpisode 3 of Season 3 finds Dr. Ravencourt and Todd waking up far too early to a very excited director and the famous leading lady of Holodramas, Lusa Thienno (voiced by the spectacular Luthien of Girls With Sabers). All that and the conclusion of the Darth Bane story with his new apprentice, the sith sorcerer Darth Zannah. Class is in session.
University of Coruscant 3:2 Darth Bane
September 02, 2020 07:29 - 15 minutes - 35.9 MBIn Episode 2 of Season 3, Dr. Ravencourt and Todd travel to the set of the holodrama "Tauntaunado". Dr. Ravencourt manages to find time to give a lecture on one of the greatest Sith stories ever told; Darth Bane. I mean, this guy invented the Rule of Two. Can we show a little respect here?
University of Coruscant 3:1 Marka Ragnos
August 26, 2020 11:00 - 17 minutes - 42.1 MBSeason 3 of the UofC starts off in the heart of Coruscant with a triumphant return to the Grand Lecture Hall!

University of Coruscant Office Hours 5: Yoda's Species
July 26, 2020 20:00 - 3 minutes - 6.7 MBHey UofC Students, Season 3 is wrapping up and it's my birthday, so I thought I'd give a present to you. Isn't that how birthday's work? No? Maybe on the outer rim it works like this. Who knows. Anyways, Season 3 will be out shortly. In the meantime, let me talk about how little we know about Yoda's species. It's something I do very well.
University of Coruscant Office Hours 4: Twin Ion Engine
June 22, 2020 14:40 - 3 minutes - 5.37 MBA mini lecture provided by Dr. Ravencourt. A cheap way to buy time while he works on Season 3. The twin ion engine. Raith Sienar designs an engine which revolutionizes the Empire's ability to create kill marks on rebel helmets everywhere.
University of Coruscant Office Hours 3: Cienna Ree
June 04, 2020 16:38 - 6 minutes - 9.62 MBA mini lecture provided by Dr. Ravencourt with special guest, Blur Lightfire. Cienna Ree. One of the fastest rising stars of the Imperial Navy, a woman of color, and captain of a Star Destroyer by age 25. And you've probably never heard of her. Time to fix that.
University of Coruscant: Semester 2 Syllabus
May 23, 2020 20:08 - 2 hours - 177 MBFor those of you who decided that it was better to just wait until right before the final and then cram it all in and roll the dice, here you go. Good luck. The entirety of semester 2 of Galactic History, Bounty Hunters, all in one holo.
University of Coruscant 2:9 Boba Fett
May 11, 2020 14:00 - 17 minutes - 25.7 MBIn the finale of Season 2, Dr. Ravencourt and Todd return to the Grand Lecture Hall on campus at the University of Coruscant to teach a class on the greatest bounty hunter of all time, Boba Fett. Join the UofC to experience all the in-universe star wars sound as you take a seat in the heart of the galaxy. Class is in session!
University of Coruscant 2:8 Cad Bane
April 27, 2020 17:00 - 16 minutes - 24.3 MBCad Bane took the mantle of "Best Bounty Hunter" when Jango Fett died. Their similarities are striking. Maybe not as similar as Jango to Boba, but c'mon, let's be fair. Cad Bane had one up on Jango Fett though, and that was a flair for the dramatic. Bane pulled off some of the greatest jobs in history and was absolutely not scared of the limelight. He relished it. And, if I might add, he looked good doing it too.
University of Coruscant 2:7 Jango Fett
April 20, 2020 20:00 - 16 minutes - 23.5 MBWhat do the Clone Wars and Boba Fett have in common? The answer is the greatest bounty hunter of his era, a mandalorian named Jango Fett. And no, I don't want to debate mandalorians, but I probably will a bit. Either way, Jango Fett was so well regarded, that Darth Tyranus decided to recruit him for a little cloning operation which resulted in a galaxy-wide political upheaval and the eradication of a thousand years of jedi tradition. Pretty impressive, if that's your sort of thing.
University of Coruscant 2:6 Bossk
April 14, 2020 00:00 - 15 minutes - 22.1 MBIf you're a Trandoshan, born as the son of the leader of the bounty hunters guild, and your father names you "Devours His Prey" after you eat all your brothers and sisters, well you have a lot to live up to. Bossk did exactly that. Daddy was proud.
University of Coruscant 2:5 Aurra Sing
April 06, 2020 23:30 - 15 minutes - 22.6 MBThere are some bounty hunters in the galaxy with a moral code. They do things for a reason and they don't bend. They won't take certain jobs, or eliminate certain targets. They are rational and thoughtful and maybe even a little bit caring. They are not Aurra Sing.
University of Coruscant 2:4 Greedo
March 30, 2020 23:30 - 14 minutes - 21.4 MBGreedo is a great example of why not all jobs are for all people. Sometimes it takes talent. Sometimes it takes a certain temperament. When you cram a square peg in a round hole, you may not like the result. And it may get you blasted. Greedo was a bounty hunter who never stood a chance, from his rough start to his end at a table with Han Solo.
University of Coruscant 2:3 4-LOM and Zuckuss
March 23, 2020 23:00 - 15 minutes - 23.1 MBIn the Star Wars Universe, there are few things better than a good story at a warm cantina at the end of a long walk. And if that walk is on Hoth, then the cantina is extra good. The tale of 4-LOM and Zuckuss is the tale of 2 deadly strangers who become best friends, and what's better to drink to than that.
University of Coruscant 2:2 IG-88
March 16, 2020 09:00 - 15 minutes - 21.2 MBIt turns out that caves on Hoth are still dangerous, no matter how cozy they appear to be.

University of Coruscant 2:1 Dengar
March 09, 2020 09:00 - 16 minutes - 22.9 MBSemester begins and Dr. Ravencourt is on the run from his Bothan associate. This lecture begins a new semester entirely focused on Bounty Hunters and we start with "Payback" himself: Dengar.
University of Coruscant Office Hours 2: Bounty Hunters
February 27, 2020 06:58 - 2 minutes - 3.66 MBA mini lecture provided by Dr. Ravencourt and his teaching assistant Todd. Bounty Hunters and their code. It's not like a luggage code. More of a moral code. Like don't steal someone's luggage.
University of Coruscant Office Hours 1: Trandoshans
February 13, 2020 17:44 - 2 minutes - 3.69 MBA mini lecture provided by Dr. Ravencourt and his teaching assistant Todd. Trandoshans. They’re scaly, they’re strong and they will kill you for points in the afterlife. What’s not to love?

University of Coruscant 1:8 Exotics
December 23, 2019 10:00 - 15 minutes - 22.1 MBThis could be our favorite lecture by Dr. Ravencourt. All the weapons you love that rarely get their due, including... the Lightwhip. It's a lightsaber. It's a whip. It's quite possibly the most dangerous weapon to all parties anywhere near it in the Galaxy. We don't recommend it, but it sure is cool.
University of Coruscant 1:7 Mounted Weapons
December 16, 2019 10:00 - 13 minutes - 18.9 MBHave you ever wanted to know what E-web stands for. Get ready to be confused. In this lecture, Dr. Ravencourt breaks down the big bads of guns. The heaviest of the heavy's. Guns so big, you have to hire your own bothan associates to set them up.
