03/14/25 • 74 min

We dive into Clone Wars Season 4 episodes featuring Gungans and droids while exploring deeper themes about citizenship and sentience in the Star Wars universe.
• The Gungan-focused "Shadow Warrior" episode portrays them as a capable military force rather than comic relief
• General Grievous is captured by just ten Gungans, showcasing their effectiveness against droids
• Jar Jar Binks impersonates the Gungan leader and shows surprising competence
• R2-D2 and C-3PO's standalone adventures in "Mercy Mission" and "Nomad Droids" were the least-watched episodes in the series
• These episodes raise interesting questions about droid sentience and whether artificial intelligence deserves rights
• The conversation explores how beings hierarchically classify others as "second-class citizens" even within oppressed groups
• Next week's live episode will cover the emotionally powerful Umbara arc
Join us next week for our live discussion of the Umbara arc! Watch episodes 7-10 of Season 4 and bring your tissues – it's going to be an emotional ride.

This week we wonder why nobody checked up on Yaddle after being sauced by Dukoo, question the "love story" between Anakin and Padme, aka Aname or maybe Padakin? Let us know what you think. We also unpack lots of emotional baggage left behind by the prequals.
Later we dip our toes into the Acolyte. While everyone else is crying "WOKE NONSENSE!" we're just looking at it from a storytelling perspective. Although that may not be much better. You've been warned.
Also, Palpatine is a dick.
All that and more this week!
Before we forget..homework for next week is to watch parts 1 & 2 of the Clone Wars Micro Series Fan Edit.

This week, we’re going back in time to the High Republic Era and looking at Young Jedi Adventures. Is it just a kid's show, or does it have actual value to Star Wars fans of all ages?
We discuss poor Jedi parenting skills, the show's educational value within the Star Wars universe, and the potentially dangerous message it sends: Kids flying across the system without adult supervision? Really, Master Yoda?
Tony creates a drinking game based on a kid's show, and we wrap things up by getting completely derailed by pondering how the use of the Force may impact a Jedi's lifespan.

12/07/24 • 65 min

Join us for our limited-series Skelton Crew Review podcast as Tommy D and our adventurous guest, Crash, geek out over the nostalgic echoes of ET and The Goonies and question how these iconic references resonate with new generations in the era of Skeleton Crew. Our conversation is a delightful fusion of culture, travel, and a sprinkle of Star Wars magic, perfect for anyone looking to relive those Amblin vibes.
The plot thickens as we dive into the enigma of a mysterious planet within The Mandalorian’s timeline. Imagine a world untouched by time, where the whispers of the Old Republic linger, and society thrives on remnants of a forgotten era. We dissect the concept of the "Great Work," drawing connections to classic sci-fi themes and pondering if this civilization is a secluded relic of the past. With comparisons to hidden societies and buried treasures, our speculative journey touches on the fascinating dynamics of treasure-laden children and their interactions with pirates, all the while questioning the Star Wars universe's evolutionary twists.
The spirit of nostalgia takes center stage as we explore the beautiful intersection of 80s pop culture and contemporary Star Wars storytelling. From iconic archetypes to the charming quirks of minor characters, we celebrate the creative fusion that invites both seasoned fans and newcomers. Tune in as we share our hopes for potential cameos, connections within the Mandoverse, and the ultimate joy of seeing a new generation fall in love with the timeless galaxy far, far away.
