Force Ghost Coast to Coast

Obi-Wan Kenobi has wrapped its first - only? - season, and Matt, Liz, and Brian discuss the good, the bad, and the Vader of it all. Plus, they debate the merits of a second season, discuss the Rebels connections, and ponder what Hayden Christensen will be doing in Ahsoka. 

The first four episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi are here, and Liz, Matt, and Brian dig into the show. Topics discussed include the continued confusion of the Inquisitors, the great performance of Vivien Lyra Blair, and how "old-man" Ben still looks great.

Matt and Brian dig into all the news from the 2022 Star Wars Celebration event, including lots of TV show news, some gaming updates, and the hopeful answer for the 'when will we see another Star Wars film' question.

In anticipation of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, Matt, Brian, and Liz - in that order - rewatched a prequel each, and reported back on the Obi-Wan of it all: the performance, the context, etc.

The gang returns to discuss the big finale of <i>Star Wars: Droids</i>, "The Great Heap." Topics include shapely, pink, lady droids, a strange Extended Universe connection, and the realization that droids <i>can</i> cry. 

Queen's Peril by E.K. Johnston is the second in a trilogy of stories about Padme Amadala, even though this book is technically a prequel to the first book in the series, Queen's Shadow. This was done because...Star Wars? Join us for a review of the book, as well as Brian's meltdown about the futility of current Star Wars Literature. 

Brian and Matt discuss the very slight delay to <i>Obi-Wan Kenobi</i> and our current expectations for the series. Then, we finish out the first season with the introduction of Mungo Baobab, some weird current events-connections, and more balls. Always balls. 

Matt, Liz, and Brian break down the trailer for the new Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi - which was supposed to be a quick chat and turned into 30+ minutes - before going into the second arc of Star Wars: Droids .

Matt, Liz, and Brian revisit the first four episodes of the 1985 <i>Star Wars: Droids</i> animated series, and are taken by a few things: the theme song, the nostalgia bomb that was the animation style, a surprisingly modern approach to storytelling, and some bad Threepio innuendo. 

With a whimper, The Book of Boba Fett wrapped up its first season earlier this week. Liz, Matt, and Brian dig into the season, the good and bad of the first seven chapters, and try to answer some of the myriad questions raised by the show (spoiler alert: they don't). 

Season one of The Book of Boba Fett is nearing its conclusion, and Liz, Matt, and Brian dig into the first five episodes. We discuss the good, the bad, and the secret episode of The Mandalorian that got tossed in for good measure. 

In this much delayed episode, Brian and Matt talk about Star Wars fully embracing television as its delivery system for its most 'important' stories. Then, Liz and Brian look back on Rogue One at the half-decade mark and discuss the film's legacy and impact on Star Wars.

With Halloween just around the corner, Liz, Matt, and Brian look at the new Lego Star Wars: Terrifying Tales Disney+ special. Join them for a discussion on the continuation of Sequel-Trilogy stories, the joys of Maul, and the incredible voice acting. 

After a long, unplanned break, Force Ghost Coast to Coast returns! Brian, Matt, and Liz dig into the new Disney+ series Star Wars: Visions . With varying levels of anime knowledge/experience under their belts, the three hosts dig into the nine episodes and discuss the highs and lows of the new show. 

This week, the crew looks at the final third of The Bad Batch's first season. The series, its role as a bridge between The Clone Wars and Rebels, and its place in the overall Star Wars mythos, is discussed, as well as the trend of Star Wars animated shows to improve exponentially in their second seasons. 

It is well documented how practically no one felt that The Rise of Skywalker was a satisfactory conclusion to the Skywalker Saga. It also wasn't the originally intended third film; Derek Connolly and Colin Trevorrow had originally written Duel of the Fates , to be directed by Trevorrow, as the ninth film in the saga. A draft of that script from December of 2016, a full year before the release of T...

While Liz is on vacation, Matt and Brian dig back into the Marvel Comics Star Wars crossover to discuss this event which, contrary to the title, isn't really a war and doesn't involve a ton of bounty hunters. Plus, a wild idea that will (more than likely) be nothing gets floated at the very end of the show.

It has been an eventful six weeks for The Bad Batch, and so we check in with Clone Force 99, as well as their myriad guest stars, including a hat-wearing favorite of Matt's. Plus, get the latest Star Wars/Fast and the Furious update, and a declaration about this podcast's stance on RoboCop. 

Liz, Matt, and Brian dig into the first month or so of Marvel's new 'War of the Bounty Hunters' crossover event. This ramshackle episode gets derailed by questions about timelines, balloon pigs, and the general nuttiness of some of these comics. The latter parts of this crossover will eventually be covered, but likely not for a few months, so be patient with us!

With the Star Wars universe relatively quiet right now, Liz,Matt, and Brian check in with the next two episodes of The Bad Batch . After some general chit-chat, the hosts dig into each character, and look towards the future of the series.

Plus, hear Brian rant about the other Star Wars May the Fourth Disney+ offerings!

Well, if you thought Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure was a trip, we see you that and raise you some horrific violence, shape shifting, old man nightgowns, Mac and Me aesthetics, and a healthy dose of Ewok-driven indigestion for our discussion of Ewoks: The Battle for Endor .

As Disney + continues to add <i>Star Wars</i> ephemera, we will continue to watch it! This week, we look at the first of two made for TV Ewok films, <i>Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure</i>. Is it pretty scary for kids? Hell yeah! Is it bizarre in some truly unexpected ways? You bet! Is there an absolutely insane rumor attached to it? You know it! 

Thanks to the magic of Disney +, Matt, Liz, and Brian relive the glory of episode 419 of The Muppet Show , which guest stars Luke Skywalker, C3PO, R2-D2, Chewbacca, and...Mark Hamill? Pigs in Space, Six Stringed Symphony, and Empire Strikes Back spoilers all follow!
