The Acolyte has come to an epic conclusion and the bros are here to break it down! This show packed quite a punch to the gut (sorry, still too soon). With all the complexities surrounding these characters and that HUGE reveal at the end that has us craving more, there is so much story left to tell, and we truly hope that it gets told in a season two. Until then, tune in to hear the bros break down each of the main character's arcs, the same story from a new point of view, and that epic finale with all those reveals. You know what, we're just going to "stop talking."

The Stranger is here, and he's in a much stranger land than where we found Boba Fett (remember, there was a Book of Boba Fett episode by a similar name?). The Acolyte has officially reached fever pitch after these last two episodes, Day and Night, and the night sure does feel pretty dark right about now. From all the shocking discoveries and twists in this last episode, The Acolyte is starting to deliver some moments which may be added to the top echelon of Star Wars content...for some people at least. We are here to break down it all down again as we discuss the mystery of Sol's past, the amazing choreography and cinematography, and all those shocking moments that took our breath away.

Another Disney+ series is finally upon us and The Acolyte is here! After all this time, we finally get the touted series from Leslye Headland, and while Star Wars content has become somewhat of a lightning pole in some years, we're here with a hot take...we like it. We go through all the new characters, the intrigue that the series has set up, what we think is truly happening, and the curious state of the Jedi at this moment. If you're enjoying this series, tune in with us and enjoy it a little bit more!

That's a wrap on The Bad Batch. After a busy few months that left us unable to cover each episode in detail, the bros come back just in time to recap the entire season, and the series too. We discuss all the character development this season, that last unforgettable scene that tied things up so nicely, and some of our favorite moments from our favorite Dad Batch. But let's face it, Omega can handle herself now.

The Acolyte may be on the horizon, but the day shines bright on the High Republic in print form. One of the most impactful authors in the series has been Cavan Scott, author of The Rising Storm, Tempest Runner, Path of Vengeance, multiple comics series, and the upcoming Tempest Breaker in December 2024. Cavan teaches us more about his writing process, his influences in driving character development, and his plentiful action figures. You do not want to miss this interview with Cavan, High Republic fan or not.

The wait is over! Ok, we didn't have to wait that long in reality - we've been waiting for Andor longer - but with how season 2 of The Bad Batch ended, we really wanted an update on Omega's situation. We finally got our update, and luckily, Disney+ was feeling extra generous this time, giving us three new episodes. There was a lot to enjoy amongst all the stress of these first few episodes, including some more detail on the work happening at Hemlock's secret facility on Tantiss. We discuss all three episodes after recapping some of our favorite moments from season two.

If you were to ask any Star Wars fan what makes the franchise so great, you'll hear discussion of the Force and lightsabers, but arguably the most critical has to be...the music! John Williams is just as responsible as the creator himself for breathing life and emotion into our favorite character. In this episode, we pay tribute to the great John Williams and other composers in Star Wars, followed by a rundown of some of our favorite tracks and melodies, including a mediocre attempt to interpret John's amazing skill at writing music.

Disney Plus celebrated its 4th birthday recently! That's four full years of Star Wars streaming to reflect on.

Happy Life Day, and for those in the United States, Happy Thanksgiving! In this episode, we sit down and send out some good vibes to the galaxy for the makers of Star Wars. We've isolated it to just four of the many that could be thanked: John Favreau, Doug Chiang, Cavan Scott, and Dave Filoni fresh off his recent promotion as chief creative officer. Tune in as we discuss the impact these creators have had on the Star Wars story that was kicked off by George Lucas.

In our third ever celebration of Halloween with the other patrons of our waterhole, which I guess would be our listeners, we get a little silly with our own scary stories based in the Star Wars galaxy. Think about it! What if there was a Frankenstein story in our favorite galaxy? What more chaos are Ewoks capable of? What if there were haunted houses on Coruscant? Well, you don't have to wonder anymore, because our fan-made stories may be just what you need to ring in the Halloween season.

Ahsoka has wrapped up (see Filoni, we can do a pun off of the Narnia franchise too), and while many of our questions about Ahsoka's whereabouts have been answered, it feels like we have more questions than when we started. A few things that are clear from this first season: Thrawn is a legitimate threat that did not disappoint, Filoni really knows how to develop and grow his characters, and most importantly, this story is just beginning! Tune in and share in the enjoyment of this first season as we discuss Thrawn's return, all the great surprises in these episodes, and our burning questions going into the next inevitable second season.

Filoni's story on Ahsoka is soaring to new storytelling heights just as our bro-hosts Jan and Ben come back down to earth after a wild few weeks of flying and being on lockdown. This week, the bro-hosts bring you a summary of our top favorites moments from the last three parts of Ahsoka, parts 3 through 5. We discuss everything from the state of the New Republic to who can wield the force, and we dissect Ahsoka's final lesson from a special guest that nearly blew Jan's mind back to the UK.

It’s our second take on an episode about technology after a technology glitch. Irony aside, we are back with our theme-based episodes to discuss all our favorite technologies in the galaxy, including holograms, lightspeed, and gravity tech? Yup, we cover that too! From the Techno Union to the beloved member of the Bad Batch Tech, technology may be just as important to Star Wars as sleep is for all of us…but please don’t go to sleep on us just yet!

But as the title suggests, we continue our conversation of Visions season two by covering the last four episodes: The Spy Dancer, The Bandits of Golak, The Pit, and Aau's Song.

Another milestone has been reached for another Star Wars movie, but this one just so happens to be our favorite one, so we have to cover it. As Return of the Jedi turns 40, we realize that it has only gotten better with age, especially with the additions of shows like Obi-Wan and the prequels. Even on what feels like our 100th watch of this movie, we pull new insights out on the state of the Empire, the Emperor’s plans, and all those changes since it came out in theaters.

We’ve reached the end of another terrific season of The Mandalorian, and this two-part finale gave us a lot to celebrate. And at the risk of spoiling anything here in the synopsis of this episode, we’ll just say that if you haven’t seen it yet, go watch it and come right back! We finally have our villain, Bo Katan is at her best as she reunites two clans, and we get a few truly “What the force?!” moments that you just have to see! Let’s see if Jan can keep his excitement contained for the whole episode.

We know we’ve said this before, and we’re saying it again…it’s a great time to be a Star Wars fan. The conclusion of Bad Batch punched us in the gut, the Mandalorian keeps releasing fantastic episodes, and to top it all off, Star Wars Celebration is giving us so much news that we may need a second episode to break it all down. We’re here to cover it all, give you our reactions, and discuss the latest two installments of The Mandalorian: The Pirate and Guns For Hire, including that amazing battle on Navarro, that crazy about-face move by The Armorer, and the growth of Bo Katan (seriously, who IS the Mandalorian anymore?!).

We are back to discuss the latest two episodes of The Mandalorian: The Convert and The Foundling. These two episodes continued the trend of providing fantastic surprises for us to chew on for a few days. One of the greatest surprises may be the evolution of Bo Katan’s character, who has gone from infuriating to intriguing overnight. We all just want to know what she has planned and where this path is leading her. And among all the other intrigue, we’re blessed with one of the Best surprises we’ve seen so far.

The wait is over! Our patience has been rewarded with two fantastic episodes to kick off season 3 of The Mandalorian. And before you think too long that Favreau was going to just pick up the blueprint that made season two a resounding success, he has thrown the blueprint out the window and subverted all our expectations. In this episode, Jan and Ben discuss all the memorable moments of these first two episodes, including the hunt for a beloved droid (or two), some cute Anzellans, an unwelcome return to Mandalore, and THAT moment!
