Episode LXV: “Try”

The guys are back to discuss the end of Andor Season 1. Then we talk about our thoughts on The Acolyte as a show, and then its cancellation. And finally, we dive into the current state of Star Wars and how it might be fixed, because it does feel like it’s broken, and the 50th anniversary is only 3 years away. What are we doing here, people?
A quick look in at Andor episodes 7-10 as the prison arc wraps up. This show goes so effing hard. It has made a sunless space for all other Disney+ TV shows.
The guys are back to talk about the recent news in the Galaxy Far, Far Away. A new movie project spearheaded by Damon Lindelof? Born out of brainstorming writers room that gathered over the summer? To be directed by an award-winning broadcast journalist? About the sequel characters but not a continuation of the Skywalker Sage?? Well, okay. I guess. In happier news, Andor unexpectedly rules!
It’s finally over. We’re free. We’re talking Episodes 5-6 of Obi-Wan Kenobi and where Star Wars goes from here.
We’re talking Episodes 3-4 of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Whatever.
Weesa back! Obi-Wan Kenobi the TV show just dropped, and we have thoughts. Plus discussion of the recent Vanity Fair article on the future of Star Wars, as well as the news and trailers from Celebration.
Weesa back! Today on the pod, we’re talking Super Bowl trailers, specifically Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Them sadly, we must discuss Episodes 4-7 of The Book of Boba Fett, a bad show for morons.
The Book of Boba Fett is bad television and it’s okay to say so.
We actually read Light of the Jedi, mostly. Discussion of the High Republic, WandaVision, IP wars, state of Star Wars. etc. Old men whining. Honestly, I wish this pod lived up to the title I just came up with for it.
Lucasfilm has announced a ton of new Star Wars Content and is begging us to love them again. We remain skeptical. Meanwhile, the latest episode of The Mandalorian was actually decent and with a few tweaks could have been great. As Star Wars atheists, we have notes.
Nearly a year after The Rise of Skywalker broke our hearts, we’re back with some salty new takes on The Mandalorian, and the state of the Star Wars franchise.
Instant reaction podcast for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT! We will be discussing major plot points from the whole movie. Also, spoiler: it sucked. Sorry.
Marco and JT check in on some of the latest Star Wars news before digging into the first two episodes of The Mandalorian. Spoilers, yo! We kick a little dirt on the grave of the Benioff & Weiss Star Wars movies and then annoy all the Filoni-heads by mildly enjoying the aggressively OK new Disney Plus show.
It’s trailer time!! Long have we waited, and at last, the final trailer for the final film in the Skywalker Saga is here. Marco and JT break down a preview that reaches for soaring, anthemic heights, but maybe misses the mind-blowing hook at the end of The Last Jedi’s final trailer. Still, this looks like a wild and epic movie with space horse cavalry charges, Reylo smashes, Mecha-Palpatine and maybe BB-8 the suicide bomber. Let’s all take one last look… at our friends.
The Rise of Skywalker marketing engine is just kicking into gear, and Kevin Feige has been tapped to produce a new Star Wars movie. JT and Marco discuss these new developments, and then just sort of blather on about the old EU for an hour. Enjoy!
Weesa back! There’s a trailer for The Mandalorian! (meh) A “Special Look” at The Rise of Skywalker (dope) and some other news and surprises from D23 to discuss. Plus, a SPOILER discussion at the end of the pod on TRoS, you’ve been warned!
The guys check in for some of the recent news in Star Wars. The Game of Thrones show runners are officially making the next Star Wars movie, coming in 2022. Laeta Kalogridis may be working on a Knights of the Old Republic screenplay, which may or not be related to Benioff and Weiss’s movie. There’s a new Vanity Fair out with some excellent photos from The Rise of Skywalker. Reylo intensifies. You know the drill.
We’re back! We’ve finally gotten a look at Episode IX, courtesy of the teaser trailer and panel at Star Wars: Celebration. James and Marco discuss the awkward questions from Colbert, hints at the plot from JJ and the rest of the sexy cast, and then go shot by shot through the trailer itself. Just who are these weird furry-hands guys re-making Kylo’s helmet?? We’re hyped as hell for The Rise of Skywalker.
The blood moon rises, and new Star Wars news is released. Marco and Benji check in to talk about some of the San Diego Comic-Con announcements before getting to the meat of the news: the casting and production announcements for Star Wars: Episode IX. Who will Richard E. Grant and Naomi Ackie play? And Keri Russell? What will Rey’s character arc be? Will this really be the final chapter in the Skywalker Saga? Our thoughts within.
We’re back! After a long hiatus (check us out on our other podcast Headcanon), Marco and Benji have returned to discuss the state of Star Wars and some of its awful fans. The pod rides hard for Kelly Marie Tran, and the haters can kindly STFU. We talk a little about Episode IX and, you know, the general nerdery.
