We're here to kick butt and chat about Star Wars from time to time… and we just ran out of butt.

50% is better than 0%, huh? Cole and Dakota are here holding down the fort this week, and they spend some time getting Dakota's takes on a lot of the stuff they've missed while participating in whatever that weird brain scan study was and give just the smallest peek at their thoughts on Star Wars Visions Season 3! But in a non-spoilery way. We'll save that for when the podcast is closer to full strength. Full show notes: https://notes.moseisley.xyz/s/nxXqnTe6s#
In this very Wookieepedia-heavy episode, we catch up on some recent Ben Solo and Stinky the Hutt news, chat about why we do or do not own The Clone Wars on Blu-ray, and somehow manage to find our way back to wishing for a Solo 2. Pretty standard business around here. Except for all the bits about Whiphids. Full show notes: https://notes.moseisley.xyz/s/U89th6uyx#
THE CLONE WARS is on pause this week since Dakota is… missing? In an experiment? I truly don't know. But we don't need that show! In our freshly-named random article segment SKYHOPPERS SPECIAL SAUCE, we take a look at an artifact from Star Wars RPGs past and once again discuss the nature of canon before talking about Troy Denning and his love of bugs and take a bit of a look back at Star Wars Squadrons.

It's finally here! The first teaser trailer for THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU has graced our screens at long last, but are we ready for it? Can we even tell what "it" is? Get the answers to all of this (as well as many of the questions you might've had about the New Jedi Order series of Legends novels) this week!

We're all back! For the first time in what feel like ages, we're getting together to discuss Maul's hostile takeover of Mandalore! Non-stop action! Political intrigue! Myriad deaths! But first, you know we've gotta hit you with some segments, which delve into topics such as the cancelled Heart of the Jedi novel by Kenneth C. Flint and… copyright infringement? I promise it makes sense in context. Full show notes: https://notes.moseisley.xyz/s/dt4y3nBDG#
I know I said we'd be talking Clone Wars this week, but that was before I knew we'd be down not one but two hosts. Sigh. But Cole and Dakota are here to rescue you with all of the segments you've come to love as well as some Starfighter chat! Also crickets. A LOT of crickets.
Eva is once again missing so Clone Wars is on hold for just one more week (we will be doing it next week come Hell or high water), but we've got segments! And two of us have finished the High Republic, so we have a lot of good discussion about that! And then general morass of Star Wars current events talk including Mando and Grogu, Starfighter, and whether or not any of this Star Wars stuff is ever actually going to release ever again.

Eva is missing this week, so Clone Wars is taking a back seat yet again! This one gets a little weird. We spend WAY too long debating what constitutes a "tunnel" in the objective sense. But outside of that, a fairly standard episode: segments, and then discussion of a Screen Rant article! Specifics include: what makes Luke Skywalker a Jedi? Does Book of Boba Fett provide anything of worth to the franchise? And finally… Grogu: what was he doing there? Full show notes: https://notes.moseisley.xyz/s/qAk9JSiCL#
Since Dakota left us out to dry this week regarding our TCW rewatch, we pivot to… a lot of different things! Why did the Jedi accept the Clone Army seemingly without question in Attack of the Clones? Have our feelings changed on The Rise of Skywalker since its release? Is LFL ever going to release the version of A New Hope that was originally released in 1977? And the dawn of a new age regarding a classic segment. Full show notes: https://notes.moseisley.xyz/s/7v0sfAfNc#
Well listeners, it's finally here: the D-Squad Arc of THE CLONE WARS. But did we hate it as much as we thought we would? Kind of. But there are also a few things to appreciate here as well. Also included: a buckwild ranking of Star Wars video games, some spoiler-free discussion of The New Jedi Order: Traitor, and the Jedi status of certain republic colonels.

With Eva still being gone, our CLONE WARS rewatch is pushed back another week. Meebur Gascon will still be there when we're all together again next week, though, so just be patient! Instead this week, we talk the 2002 video game BOUNTY HUNTER, debate the canonicity of coloring and activity books, Star Wars at SDCC, and spend far too much time talking about Karen Traviss. Full show notes: https://notes.moseisley.xyz/s/wwum7H9Qb#
This episode is a little insane. Dakota and Eva are absent, so we decided to skip out on Clone Wars this week as not deprive them of their time spent with Meebur Gascon. Instead, we completely go off the rails on an Is It Edible? and spend some time diving deep on "This Week in Star Wars." Also we talk about the New Jedi Order and Karen Traviss for some reason? Obroa-skai Walkers is leaking. Full show notes: https://notes.moseisley.xyz/s/TsBsDPqjk#
The Youngling lightsaber crystal arc of THE CLONE WARS this week! We have a lot of fun with these episodes, and experience a fair amount of dread knowing what comes next. Also included: Is It Edible?, a truncated This Week in Star Wars, and some discoveries regarding a certain KSE Firespray-class Patrol Craft. Full show notes: https://notes.moseisley.xyz/s/1JjI4OITj#
Two whole weeks in a row. We're really doing it folks. And in this super-sized continuation of whatever "it" is, we're diving into the Onderon Rebellion arc from Season 5 of THE CLONE WARS! How they ever pulled this off is a mystery. We also resurrect a favorite segment from the past. Sorry for the wrestling nonsense, but also not sorry.

WHAT. We've made the journey back from the Unknown Regions to bring a podcast to your ears! And all four of us at that! Going forward, we're really going to be leaning into our CLONE WARS rewatch, so you've got that to look forward to! Obviously, a lot has happened in the last six months, so we've got a lot of discussion to catch up on. Celebration, movies, TV, and so much else. This one's a bit of a grab bag, but it feels darn good to be back <3 Show notes: https://notes.moseisley.xyz/s/GCGmuG7uB
The results are in: we're all in LOVE with Skeleton Crew!! Fern! Neel! Wim! KB! SM-33!!!! There is so much to love, and this is very much an episode in the classic style where we basically just gush for the duration. Well, once we get through all of the other pent-up Star Wars nonsense that you know and love us for.
Sigh. I'm not gonna make a big deal about how we're back. I respect you all too much for that. But Skeleton Crew pulled us out of our hovels long enough to talk some Star Wars! Well, that and some interesting casting rumors.
The Acolyte season 1 has come and gone! And we're left feeling conflicted! Positive overall, but still conflicted. Who's right? Who's wrong? Did the right people do the wrong things? What is Vernestra's deal? All I know is that there had BETTER be a season 2!
Two episodes inside a month! Maybe we really ARE back. At least Cole and I. Dakota is on a plane maybe? Anyway. Episodes 4-6 of The Acolyte this week! Consider us floored.
By the will of the Force, we've returned!!! It's been quite a minute, but The Acolyte is here to bring us out of hibernation. Does it live up to the hype from the last three and a half years? We think so, but there's still plenty of show left to unravel…
