For The Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation

Welcome back to our Acolyte recaps, here on For The Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation! This week, Andrew (@StarlightAndrew), Conor (@DepaBanana) & Donovan (@DonovanMeade) are joined by Noor-Hal (@noorhal) to talk "Teach/Corrupt" this weeks tense, seductive (in more ways than one) episode of The Acolyte! We talk on what the episode began to build towards, including The Stranger's manipulation of Osha to the Dark side, Shirtless Qimir, what the mystery planet Osha found herself on may be, Mae's masquerade as her sister, and whether or not Sol was aware the whole time, Shirtless Qimir, Vernestra being shadier by the minute, more of The Stranger's backstory, more hints towards #WhatHappenedOnBrendok, Shirtless Qimir, the Cortosis helmet of The Stranger, and more. Did we mention Shirtless Qimir? My goodness...

Welcome back to our Clone Wars rewatch, here on For the Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation! On this episode, Andrew (@StarlightAndrew), Don (@DonovanMeade), Jake (@JediJake__), & Conor (@DepaBanana) discuss the Blue Shadow Virus arc! We look back at one of our most nostalgic arcs of the early portions of the series, including the campy wonderful villain that is Dr. Nuvo Vindi, all-timer Glup Shitto Peppy Bow, the unexpected origins of Anakin's flirting line in The Phantom Menace, the horrors of Jar Jar in a hazmat suit, and the threat of the titular virus itself throughout the episodes! We also talk about how our views of the episode have changed in a post-pandemic world, and give birth to a few new memes to add to the podcast lore.

Episodes Discussed: "Blue Shadow Virus" (S1E17), "Mystery of a Thousand Moons" (S1E18)
