Ahsoka in Rebels. Mon Mothma in Andor. Anakin and Vader in….everything not called “Anakin” or “Vader.” How well do cameos of beloved, established characters serve the story at hand, and how can storytellers prevent those cameos from getting…out of hand?

Absolutely nothing? A last resort to defending the vulnerable in the face of unspeakable evil? A sorry feint-of-hand by corrupt despots seeking to distract an embittered populace? A compelling fictional narrative enabling those removed from any real-world military engagement to suspend our moral disbelief? Why is it called “Star Wars,” when it's clearly “not pro war”?

We’re 47 years after “Star Wars” took over the culture, and 25 years after The Phantom Menace brought George Lucas’s saga back to the big screen. Our understanding of the Galaxy Far, Far Away and its relationship to our own world has surely changed in that time, but some things are also pretty consistent.
This week we carry that logic into a though experiment; what will Star Wars fans and commentators be talking about 30 years from now?

Politics. Maybe a little religion? We make excellent dinner conversation I promise! This week we’re joined by Eleanor and Sofi of the Daughters of Ferrix pod to explore some of Star Wars’ political philosophy and its overall editorial direction.

It was the most controversial Star Wars property to come out…well…in 2017. Luke himself warned us: “this is *not* going to go the way you think!” Turns out, it was even better than we could have imagined, with its wild twists and thrilling turns, deep reflection and vibrant action. For our 100th episode, because we wanna, we talk all about one of our favourite films of all time, The Last Jedi.

“Life. Death and decay, that feeds new life. Warmth. Cold. Peace. Violence.” Ash Wednesday and the weeks that follow are a time to reflect on mortality, life and the struggle for meaning. Star Wars often grapples with these themes, notably through its story telling. This week we bring you an extended “Theology Time”: Lent Edition.

Wednesday…is just another Wednesday for us, but there're lots of characters in Star Wars that, if they lived in this galaxy, would be celebrating Valentine's Day with their special someone! This week we finally get to it- ships and shipping in the Galaxy Far, Far Away!

EP. 96
1999 to 2005 was an exciting time for Star Wars storytelling. George Lucas was in the throes of giving us a whole new trilogy, fleshing out characters and plotlines, showing us new and familiar locations, and fundamentally shifting our sense of what this “Star Wars” thing was in the first place. This week we look at how the Prequel films affected the Expanded Universe stories written at the time.

Playing “in the sandbox” often involves picking up characters that were developed in other media, by other authors, already with subsantive story arcs. We explore the implications of “sharing characters” across the range of media, genres and creatives in the canon of the Galaxy Far, Far Away.
And yes, we talk about the Bad Batch trailer.

Star Wars always had a critical eye towards large institutions, “what with the Rebellion and all.” But as we’ve expanded the universe and enriched the canon, different characters have come up with perspectives, aims and motivations that nuance that critique. Mon Mothma, Mina Bonteri, Amilyn Holdo and mostly recently Ghirra Starros all push to move their rag-tag and chaotic rebel movements to more organized and respectable state authorities in their own right. On this episode we explore those perspectives and motivations.

Time. Eternity. The multiv…no wait wrong Disney franchise!
There's no time travel in Star Wars, but storytellers do play with the passage of time – plot, pacing, even real-world distribution schedules. We look at some different ways that we the audience experience time in stories from the Galaxy Far, Far Away.

This week we look back on another packed year for Star Wars across all media! 2023 began with the Bad Batch season 2, is coming to an epic close with the Dark Droids crossover event, saw the end of High Republic Phase 2 and the start of Phase 3, took us to London for Celebration and got swept up in a pair of historic Hollywood labour disputes. Oh yeah it also had that Space Wizard show and a Mando ep with Jack Black and Lizzo! What a wild run!
