Welcome to Part 2 of our Tales of the Underworld - here on For The Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation! Andrew (@StarlightAndrew) & Conor (@DepaBanana) are once again joined by Catrina Dennis (@ohcatrina) to talk Cad Bane's arc from Tales of the Underworld! We discuss the most pivotal moments from these episodes - including Cad's past as Colby - a child street-rat on Duro, his best friend Niro - who eventually becomes his enemy, the allure of the life of crime, how your own choices impact your destiny, Cad's turn to becoming the gangster and bounty hunter we know him to be, his stand-off with Niro, and the tragedy of a man who never makes the right choice. The three of us also give our full thoughts on this season of Tales, and determine which arc was our favorite of the two. Episodes Discussed: "The Good Life" (S3E4), "A Good Turn" (S3E5), "One Good Deed" (S3E6)Listen to our Tales of the Underworld: Asajj Ventress Episode-https://open.spotify.com/episode/0HeMWdSMPV71ZcKQWHuPRY?si=uyGpjcGIS8ir31RhAIiimQ"WHAT CHOICE?": Star Wars Fans for Abortion Access-https://www.gofundme.com/f/what-choiceSupport the Amidala Initiative-https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-amidala-initiative-for-equality-texasSubscribe to our YouTube channel!-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1_Aywl930XitqQYXrOr2BgFollow the podcast on Bluesky-@fortherepublicpod.bsky.social, Twitter-@ForTheRepubPod, Instagram-@fortherepublicpod, & TikTok-@fortherepublicpod for further updates on the podcast.
Welcome to Part 1 of our 2-part discussion of Tales of the Underworld - here on For The Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation! Andrew (@StarlightAndrew) & Conor (@DepaBanana) are joined by special guest and noted Asajj Ventress superfan Catrina Dennis (@ohcatrina) to talk about the Asajj Ventress arc of Tales of the Underworld! We talk the major moments from her 3 episodes - including the on-screen depiction of the ending of the Dark Disciple novel, the much-anticipated reveal of how Ventress returned from the dead, her relationship with Quinlan Vos, the search for the Hidden Path, the introduction of Lyco Strata, Lyco and Ventress' dynamic, the return of Latts Razzi, how the galaxy views Ventress after The Clone Wars, her continued redemption story, and more. We also discuss whether or not we think these stories act as a "backdoor pilot" for a future Ventress animated series, or for Ventress to play a major role in Maul: Shadow Lord.Episodes Discussed: "A Way Forward" (S3E1), "Friends" (S3E2), "One Warrior to Another" (S3E3)Listen to our Tales of the Underworld: Cad Bane Episode-https://open.spotify.com/episode/66UuPxAXC4qhgZGvGAjCnu?si=SVy5DUSvQOqNEIo_-KK3zw"WHAT CHOICE?": Star Wars Fans for Abortion Access-https://www.gofundme.com/f/what-choiceSupport the Amidala Initiative-https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-amidala-initiative-for-equality-texasSubscribe to our YouTube channel!-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1_Aywl930XitqQYXrOr2BgFollow the podcast on Bluesky-@fortherepublicpod.bsky.social, Twitter-@ForTheRepubPod, Instagram-@fortherepublicpod, & TikTok-@fortherepublicpod for further updates on the podcast.

As our countdown to 100 episodes reaches its final stop, let's have fun with the sillier side of Star Wars and talk all about this Lego Star Wars goodness!Episodes Discussed: "Part 1" (S2E1), "Part 2" (S2E2), "Part 3" (S2E3), "Part 4" (S2E4)Vote in this week's JEDI ARCHIVES Poll!-https://x.com/fortherepubpod/status/1974511173157650832?s=46Check out our The Mandalorian & Grogu Trailer Review-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN9FfNlarl8&t=23sSupport The Trevor Project-https://www.thetrevorproject.org"WHAT CHOICE?": Star Wars Fans for Abortion Access-https://www.gofundme.com/f/what-choiceSupport the Amidala Initiative-https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-amidala-initiative-for-equality-texasSubscribe to our YouTube channel!-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1_Aywl930XitqQYXrOr2BgFollow the podcast on Bluesky-@fortherepublicpod.bsky.social, Twitter-@ForTheRepubPod, Instagram-@fortherepublicpod, & TikTok-@fortherepublicpod for further updates on the podcast.
Welcome to the return of our Clone Wars rewatch, here on For The Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation! As we return to our coverage of The Clone Wars Season 2, Andrew (@StarlightAndrew) & Conor (@DepaBanana) look back at the standalone episode "Bounty Hunters!" A tribute to Akira Kurosawa's legendary film Seven Samurai, we discuss how Kurosawa's films have inspired Star Wars over the years, and what future stories have taken similar story beats from Seven Samurai following this episode. With the return of Hondo Ohnaka, the introduction of several new Bounty Hunters to the Star Wars universe, and a story depicting Bounty Hunters in a different light than what we normally see in Star Wars, this standout episode of The Clone Wars marks a fitting return to our journey through the animated series.

Andrew (@StarlightAndrew) & Donovan (@DonovanMeade) rank their Top 5 favorite Star Wars projects from last year! From The Acolyte, to the end of The Bad Batch, to Skeleton Crew, 2024 had a lot to offer in terms of quality & complex Star Wars stories, and although we're very late to the party, we needed to finally look back on last year in Star Wars as we look forward to the rest of 2025!"WHAT CHOICE?": Star Wars Fans for Abortion Access-https://www.gofundme.com/f/what-choiceSupport the Amidala Initiative-https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-amidala-initiative-for-equality-texasSubscribe to our YouTube channel!-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1_Aywl930XitqQYXrOr2BgFollow the podcast on Bluesky-@fortherepublicpod.bsky.social, Twitter-@ForTheRepubPod, Instagram-@fortherepublicpod, & TikTok-@fortherepublicpod for further updates on the podcast.

We talk about the biggest moments from the episodes - including Cassian's encounter with a Force healer on Yavin IV, his greater role in the Rebellion, and how his future with Bix changes, Syril Karn's uncovering of the truth behind the Empire's role on Ghorman, and his realization of what he contributed to before he comes face-to-face with the root of his problems, Wilmon's greater role with Luthen's rebels, Mon Mothma's incredible speech against the Empire following the Massacre, and her subsequent escape from Coruscant with Cassian, the "birth" of K-2SO, and so much more! Chilling, heartbreaking, profound, dark, and deeply meaningful in today's world, these were some of the best Star Wars stories ever told.Episodes Discussed: "Messenger" (S2E7), "Who Are You?"

Welcome to our Andor Season 2 recaps, here on For The Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation! Join Andrew (@StarlightAndrew), Donovan (@DonovanMeade), & Conor (@DepaBanana) as we discuss the 1st arc of Andor's final season!

We also take time to discuss *that* scene with Bix in the 3rd episode, how it impacted us, and what we can learn from these discussions as Star Wars highlighted a key issue with power roles that has not been seen in on-screen such a direct way prior to this arc.Episodes Discussed: "One Year Later" (S2E1), "Sagrona Teema" (S2E2), "Harvest" (S2E3)Vote in this week's JEDI ARCHIVES Poll!-https://x.com/ForTheRepubPod/status/1918096029162803375Check out our Star Wars Celebration Recap-https://open.spotify.com/episode/2S9BxwMhkuaYAYNn1baGth?si=NekNeetrRFiJjCqIFSSSdw"WHAT CHOICE?": Star Wars Fans for Abortion Access-https://www.gofundme.com/f/what-choiceSupport the Amidala Initiative-https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-amidala-initiative-for-equality-texasSubscribe to our YouTube channel!-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1_Aywl930XitqQYXrOr2BgFollow the podcast on Bluesky-@fortherepublicpod.bsky.social, Twitter-@ForTheRepubPod, Instagram-@fortherepublicpod, & TikTok-@fortherepublicpod for further updates on the podcast.
