Explicit content warning

06/08/24 • 67 min

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.

What drives a Jedi to abandon the light and embrace the darkness? This week on Star Wars Sucks, we aim to answer this pivotal questions we continue our chronological Star Wars journey with Tales of the Jedi, Season 1, Episode 4: "The Sith Lord." We dissect Count Dooku's tragic descent into darkness.
We look at Count Dooku's motivations, his disillusionment with the Jedi, and try to understand what ultimately pushed him to join the Sith?
The dark machinations of the Sith take center stage as we explore the intricate relationships and strategic moves orchestrated by Darth Sidious. From the Rule of Two to the tragic fate of Qui-Gon Jinn, we unravel the emotional and manipulative threads that bind Darth Maul, Count Dooku, and Sidious himself.
This one is a ride on the Dark Side!
