Friends, we're talking about one of our favorite series of all time, REBELS ! It's difficult to break down your favorite moments in such a fantastic story, but we did our best. Enjoy us gushing about the joy this series has brought us and the high bar it's set for the future of Star Wars. WARNING: Chills are inevitable!

We're currently enjoying some R&R on the coast of Alabama, but the podcast must go on! Our book club recently read Beth Revis' novel Rebel Rising . "Jyn is also the most "real" character in Star Wars in that she's not inherently special," Beth said in and interview for her book. "She wasn't born with the ability to feel the Force, she's (for the most part) not surrounded by important characters, s...

The Zeffo, burning bushes, too much Qui-Gon hate..there's so much to discuss in this month's Casual Council. Come hang out with our Patreon Jedi Knights and Masters!

The past 48 hours have been amazing for Star Wars fans. A new trailer for The Bad Batch shares a little more insight into Clone Force 99's experience around the time of the new Empire. We're also introduced to a new character, Omega. Who is this individual and what will her role be in this adventure with our heroes? So. Many. Questions. Lucasfilm also released much of the cast for the upcoming Obi...

The Clone Wars has gifted us all with so many amazing moments. Too many to list, actually. But what are some of our most memorable? In this episode we're chatting about some of Clone Wars most impactful story arcs that have stuck with us over the years. But, before that, it's important to acknowledge that the The Caravan of Courage and The Battle for Endor are coming to Disney+! Fans of Ewoks and...

Speculation. It's an important part of the Star Wars fanbase. It's an important part of this show. Heck, we're going to speculate right now with a "What if Asajj Ventress returns from the dead" discussion. But, as we learned from Master Qui-Gon Jinn, be mindful of the future, "but not at the expense of the present moment." Speculation can be fun, and having expectations for a property you love can...

The Bad Batch  in May and potentially more Rian Johnson Star Wars?? Yes, please. An epic e-mail from Neddy prompts a lengthy discussion of Leia, balance, and the chosen one prophecy. Oh, and we might be starting a Lord of The Rings podcast (or an Ents-only broadcast of some sort). Join us!

Rae Carson's novelization for The Rise of Skywalker adds so much context to the film that closed out the Skywalker saga. This was a book that our readers really enjoyed, and we couldn't stop talking about it! Join us!

There's an important discussion to be had following Gina Carano's recent social media controversy. And the news of her termination at Lucasfilm has left Star Wars fans wondering, "What will happen to Cara Dune?" Also, Vader finds Exegol in his attempt to uncover the Emperor's secrets in Darth Vader (2020) #10!

With so many gamers in our Council, Lucasfilm's recent reveal of Lucasfilm Games has everyone very excited. What would we like to see added to Lucasfilm's rich catalog of gaming titles? For starters, a revamped Empire at War better be in the mix. We also dip into some classic "what if" speculation in the latter half of our discussion. What if Obi-Wan left the order for Satine? What if Anakin was s...

Could "Andor" really not include our beloved K-2S0? Well, not yet. Also, if "Obi-Wan Kenobi" does not cast Jason Isaacs for a live-action debut of the Grand Inquisitor, they're making a HUGE mistake. Let's talk some Star Wars news. 

Could Liam Neeson reprise his role as Qui-Gon Jinn in the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series? In this episode, we turn to some existing Star Wars material to speculate on what we could see from the returning Master and what sorts of conversations he and his former Apprentice may have while isolated on Tatooine.

This month, the Council convened to talk about the epic ending to The Mandalorian Season 2 and all of the upcoming Star Wars projects that we're most excited to see. 

Two childhood friends, now star-crossed lovers, find themselves on opposite ends of the war. Will they set aside their differences to come together, or will duty keep them apart. This novel from Claudia Gray has been a big hit with many readers of the Star Wars new canon era since it released in 2015. So what did the book club think?

The season (series?) finale of The Mandalorian has arrived, and the ending of what has been a crazy ride did not disappoint. Here's our live YouTube discussion of an emotional Chapter 16, "The Rescue".

Call us crazy, Fam, but this episode may have been one of the best of the series...let's talk about it! Here's our live discussion from Friday night on YouTube.

Folks, it's a lot of Star Wars, and we're here for it. Thursday's announcements at Disney's Investor Day 2020 left us all stunned. But, once we got over our speechlessness, we formulated some thoughts on what's to come. Hayden, Ahsoka, Patty Jenkins, ... !
