Star Wars Political Talk.

Matt & John discuss how free the political speech of that Galaxy Far, Far Away was (or wasn’t), and how it would have been disbursed. Did the Empire tolerate political dissent for its own nefarious goals? Did people get arrested for sharing controversial content? They explore these issues as well as the fun possibilities there were for how the Holonet must have looked, and what VPN solutions there could have been.

Greetings from Coruscant Park.

John & Matt discuss whether there were Theme Parks in the Star Wars galaxy far, far away! They agree there must have been, but what did they look like? How can you bring a thrill to beings who travel through hyperspace? What kind of waivers did you need to sign to ride the Podrace Express Coaster?

Let’s discover what thrills, chills and roller coaster hills there were!

Why Did Vader Fly Away?

John & Matt discuss the possible reasons Darth Vader kept flying away from Yavin 4 after gaining control of his ship at the end of the original Star Wars. In light of the might displayed at the end of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, why didn’t we see Vader strike back a little more immediately than we got onscreen?

Galen’s Revenge.

John & Matt ponder why the Death Star even had a trash compactor in the first place, and chat about possible reasons to justify it, in the way that it exists. They stumble on one idea that’s just poetic enough to make sense, disturbing enough to be possible, and at the same time honors the small acts of rebellion someone like Galen Erso could have made along the way.

The Sound of Star Wars.

Sheev Palpatine Phone Home.

John & Matt play Galactic Realtors in this week’s show, searching for the perfect place to have served as Palpatine’s abode! Did he live in modest quarters below the Senate? Was the Jedi Temple his vindictive Palace of Pleasure? Would he have returned home and lived on Naboo just to give more pain to Vader? 

Where do YOU think Palpatine lived?

Getting Weird with the Force.

It’s always risky to try to expand Star Wars lore. People have very set ideas of what works, and what doesn’t. Matt and John try to figure out the magic formula for making original Star Wars works that explore aspects we don’t understand, and whether we were ever really meant to understand them in the first place…or engage in the unanswered questions with our own imaginations.

Andor: We’ll Always Have Rix Road.

The final two episodes of Star Wars Andor give Matt and John plenty to discuss as the arc resolves from Season 1. We see the fear, anger and hate boil over into a riotous uprising on Ferrix, with Andor caught in the middle as he returns to try to save Bix and mourn his mother. Did they hit the right pace? Did they break the story effectively across two episodes? And what in the name of weirdness is going on with Syril and Dedra?

The 10th episode of Star Wars Andor gives Matt and John plenty to discuss as the explosively emotional climax of the Narkina 5 prison break, the indictment of detached life, and the role of the hero is not just to save but serve as the symbol that those making difficult choices never can. Join them for a discussion of “One Way Out,” the Star Wars episode that birthed an unforgettable meme among amazing set pieces and performances.

Andor: Season One - Nobody’s Listening!

The 9th episode of Star Wars: Andor left everyone reeling, with enhanced interrogation (torture) displayed onscreen, the prison complex of Narkina 5 becoming an even more desperate place, and the people of Coruscant reacting to daily life in the Empire in very different ways. John and Matt discuss their reactions to the themes of this episode and ponder what must have been the fate of Narkina 5 when the Empire fell. They dissect and praise the work of the actors and actresses, and debate if the plot lines find the right balance overall.

Andor: Season One - Narkina 5.

Matt and John continue their S1 rewatch with the 8th episode of Star Wars: Andor. Andor, on the run from his past, was arrested for a crime he didn't commit and now we get to see the Imperial Justice System from the inside. In “Narkina 5,” questions about industrial prisons, humane treatment, and scales of justice are asked. But does the audience get satisfaction from the exercise, or frustration in a lack of resolution?

This is a recap discussion so big, @TheJediMasters have enlisted the aid of their friend and fellow The Nerd Party host, Darren Moser to talk over the nuances of justice meted out in a Galaxy Far, Far Away.

Andor: Season One - Announcement.

As Andor Season 2 approaches, Matt and John discuss the themes and story turns in the seventh episode of Star Wars: Andor. A new arc starts with this episode, focused on the galactic ripple effects from the Aldhani heist, while Cassian returns home amid planning what to do with his score. What is the episode trying to say? Does it advance the series momentum? Does it suffer as a prequel to Rogue One by working too hard to tie things in to where it’s going? It’s sure to be another interesting episode as the Jedi Masters work to see eye to eye on “Announcement.”

As Andor Season 2 approaches, Matt and John continue their StarWars: Andor Season 1 rewatch to discuss their opinions of the sixth episode, “The Eye.” The conclusion of the second 3-episode arc, does it deliver on the promise of a great heist moment…or prove to be a dud of mismatched storylines?

We’re closer to the new season of Andor, and so Matt and John continue their StarWars: Andor Season 1 rewatch to discuss their opinions of the fifth episode, “The Axe Forgets.” In the unenviable position as the middle episode of a three-episode arc, does it keep the momentum or lose its footing like a hike in the Aldhani mountains?

This episode features an in-depth discussion of the fifth episode of Star Wars: Andor’s first season, as they continue to explore what the filmmakers were working to accomplish.

As Andor Season 2 draws one week closer, Matt and John continue their StarWars: Andor rewatch to discuss their opinions of the fourth episode.
