This is the Way Podcast

May 2024 comes to a close and This is the Way Podcast wraps up another month with another Star Wars news update podcast. The Bad Batch is done. The Acolyte is about to debut. Skeleton Crew has the same initials as "Santa Claus" and Tohan Lege is not that hard to say, especially if you're Stephen Stanton. Hot Toys are expensive. The toy Dejarik table is about as hard to get as a real one right now. Oh, and if you haven't played LEGO Fortnite, it's FREE TO PLAY, if you didn't know, and it has lightsabers and thermal detonators and Rebel and Imperial buildings and characters! If you have comments or questions, please interact with the show by contacting through one of our links found at our Linktree website (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linktr.ee/ThisistheWayPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠). If you want to know the best way to get in touch, though, it's email at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and as always "May" the Force be with you!

Marching onward in 2022, we've got the Obi-wan Kenobi series teaser trailer to mention, a rumor we're kind of hoping isn't true about Grogu (but we don't spoil anything, just in case), and have some videos to recommend if you're thinking of spending a small fortune on a trip to the "stars" near Hollywood Studios in Orlando. The Bad Batch will return a little older here in 2022 according to the composer for the show and Andor hires someone to handle scoring that isn't Ludwig Goransson. Go figure. Boba Fett wrapped up last month. Obi-wan is walking up to bat. Clone Force 99 is probably going to bat third with Andor in the clean-up spot and Fulcrum, Mando, and an Acolyte in the line-up as well. We keep tabs on the games, collectibles, and park news as well, so give us a listen and tell us what you think about what you hear, what you want to hear more and what you'd rather we stop "forcing" you to sit through. The Ides of March are upon us, and so is our March 2022 news update podcast! Send in podcast recommendations by email to [email protected].

Episode 3 of Andor's second season includes a controversial scene. I was tempted to suggest that it's whether or not Kellen ratted out the "Ferrix four" but I don't want to risk people thinking I'm making light of assault.It's disgusting. It's hard to watch. It happened, even in a galaxy far, far away. Cassian Andor isn't a squeaky clean and virtuous guy, but it's all in degrees. Is Luthen a better man? Certainly not Saw. Was Brasso a stand up guy? I think so. Rebelling against the tyranny of the Empire as we see it in Star Wars takes sacrifices. The Imperial playbook seems to be that an atrocity doesn't happen if you don't hear about it and we'll let you hear about the ones we can use."Harvest" reaps what was sown in the first two episodes and it gives us a look into the home life of two government workers who came together under a problematic circumstance. Dedra delicately handles Syril's mom. Leida wishes her mom was drunk. Kleya is watching the weather for Cassian. Tay Kolma's usual rideshare driver is out, and Cinta is in. Wilmon is nowhere to be found, Brasso is down, and Bix stands her ground. We hear more of Chandi Merles and Rakatans and someone who was born on Naboo. We see a Chandrilan wedding, a Chandrilan wedding dance, and the reception is jumping to the sound of last summer. Niamos!There is a first impressions podcast already out and recaps and discussions for the first two episodes of this story block as well. This is the Way Podcast HQ has been enduring some hardships, but we made it through the first week just in time to get started on the second. If you have an episode specific comment, email it to the address we reveal in our podcasts and put the particular episode in the subject line.

The Mandalorian and Grogu movie is not doing as well as Disney and Lucasfilm had hoped. That doesn't mean it's not a good movie! The public can't be forced to spend money and fans already have, so there's some work to do for them to find out what will keep fans coming back and what will get more people to give it a watch. This is the Way Podcast knows that pain. Maybe there's a new way with an app to watch it in theaters with director commentary?Starfighter may already have a rough cut and some people in Europe might have seen footage! A model maker passes away and he's got quite the resume. There is news from a Summer Games Fest and there's news of a different kind of fest from France. It seems Quantic Dreams isn't playing fair. Fate of the Old Republic continues to hire, Galactic Racers gets closer to release, and ZERO Company starts a promotional push.Collectors continue to quickly consume more product when it comes to Grogu and specialty items from the Hasbro Pulse website. Disney Parks goers may be getting a new way to consume food and drink in Batuu this year, and of course, there's another "word" for those who follow the only way to heaven.Feel free to take part in contributing ideas and commenting on our podcasts on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YoutTube, on Facebook, through Amazon's podcast portal, or even on Discord.
