Force Insensitive - A Star Wars Podcast

Send us a text or voice message This week we kick off our May The Farce Be With You Month! Our opening episode is a collection of shorts, skits, segments, and episodes that capture the spirit of Star Wars in myriad comedy styles.

Send us a text or voice message This week is the kickoff to our May the Farce Be With You event coming up in the month of March! We nominate our favorite Star Wars spoofs and parodies and program out the next four weeks of content. We ended up doing one episode of all shorts, one that consists of three TV episodes, and the final two will each be a different feature film. Tune in to hear the full r...

Send us a text or voice message Every now and then you need to stop and take a deep breath to calm yourself from all the crazy events in the world. We do the Force Insensitive equivalent of that as we talk about a relaxing topic— politics! Galactic Politics to be precise. We’ll cover dictators, emperors, the ruling class, and the rebels who fight against it all. It’s the fun kind of politics! We a...

Send us a text or voice message This week we’re hand delivering a number two directly to your ear holes! Wait you thought we meant… no we mean the second installment of our Star Wars live action shows tier ranking! In this one we finished ranking the last 4 seasons and then we do the tough work of finalizing our tiers and making the tough decisions to move certain shows up or down. Turn up your he...

Send us a text or voice message This week we finally get around to doing a tier ranking of all the seasons of the Star Wars live action shows! Although… we didn’t finish. We got halfway through and realized we should dedicate another episode to this effort. BUT we can guarantee you there is twice as much Star Wars talk as there was last week! We can’t wait to see Oliver Stone’s Plo-Koon while sitt...

Send us a text or voice message We interrupt your regular scheduled offensive Star Wars Podcast for something a little different. You are about to listen to an episode that was the product of necessity. Our scheduled episode has been postponed since two hosts were MIA this week. We called a late audible and decided to discuss whatever came up and of course that led us to some weird places, but the...

Send us a text or voice message That was a fun ride while it lasted! So fun that we want to run it back as we discuss Season One of Skeleton Crew in its entirety. We discuss what worked especially well, how the show lived up to expectation, and perhaps some future hopes and dreams! You’ll likely want to wear your battle droid bandolier and pass on the sourdough circumcision if its offered to you....

Send us a text or voice message It wasn’t about the treasure, but instead the memories we made along the way. Or in our case, the lewd jokes, groan-inducing comments and occasional insightful observation. We’re a bit sad that we already need to say goodbye to the Skeleton Crew as we discuss the season (hopefully) finale S01E08: The Real Good Guys. If you’re just a Modern Day Lumpy then you might w...

Send us a text or voice message Our journey aboard the Onyx Cinder is nearing its end as we discuss the penultimate episode with S01E07: We’re Gonna Be in So Much Trouble. Jod goes down a very dark path and makes one of the most shocking heel turns in Star Wars history! We also discuss theories on the upcoming finale and the inevitable Snowball spinoff series where he teams up with the Anzellans t...

Send us a text or voice message Sometimes a show can be short on plot but still make a massive impact in the overall narrative tapestry. That was very much the case in Skeleton Crew: S01E06: Zero Friends Again. There were some beautiful character beats that drew us closer than ever to the team as they near a showdown with the pirate crew on At Attin. We dig in and give you some insight into the ch...

Send us a text or voice message What is a good pirate adventure without a secret booby trapped pirate lair? Well we get all that and more in Skeleton Crew S01E05: You Have a Lot to Learn About Pirates! We dissect, disassemble, and discuss the episode in its entirety. There are some cool reveals and some great character moments that continue to push this series forward in a satisfying way. So give...

Send us a text or voice message Have you ever heard the Legend of Kapusniak? Can’t blame you, it’s a little known tale. Let’s just say it involves paying respect to the Jolly Rancher and stuffing some peanuts up your trunk. Intrigued now? Well tune in to this week’s episode to learn about this and much more than you could possibly ever want to know as we dissect, derail, and discuss Skeleton Crew...

Send us a text or voice message Sometimes Star Wars can still bring out that child-like sense of wonder and adventure from our cold jaded old hearts. Skeleton Crew S01E03: Very Interesting, as an Astrogation Problem is one such example. We dive into the latest episode in the series and break down the episode and discuss some of the hidden gems and theories around At Attin. Please don’t be a big ha...

Send us a text or voice message Star Wars is back! We’re ecstatic to have new live action Star Wars with the premiere of the brand new series, Skeleton Crew! We discuss, dissect, and even throw in a few early theories about the show as we tackle the first two episodes; S01E01: This Could Be a Real Adventure and S01E02: Way, Way Out Past the Barrier. When listening to this episode we have an import...

Send us a text or voice message Do you hear that? It’s the sound of live action Star Wars just on the horizon. Starting next week we will finally get to talk about new Star Wars and it’s about damn time! This week we preview the upcoming Skeleton Crew series by talking about all our hopes, dreams, cameo wants, and the bare minimum we need to satiate our starving appetites! Turn up your headphones,...

Send us a text or voice message Are you ready for something completely different? You’re going to get it whether you’re ready or not. This week we discuss our ideal Star Wars Holiday Dinner complete with guest list and menu. There are lots of surprises on both. Then we talk about what we’re most and least thankful for in Star Wars. That’s not all, as an extra added bonus we will run through the ex...

Send us a text or voice message Nearly 40 years to the day George Lucas unveiled a new cinematic vision upon the world. A vision that would change the small screen forever and may even give the Holiday Special some competition for the worst ideas he’s ever had. We are referring to the one and only Ewok films; Caravan of Courage and Battle For Endor. These films have it all. They have plenty of fur...

Send us a text or voice message This week we wrap up our Star Wars Spooktacular by discussing the British horror comedy series Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace! This one has an interesting Star Wars connection that might not be obvious. If you like slow-motion running, possession, eyechildren, poor acting, bad editing, and hilarity you’ll need to tune in for this one! Turn up your headphones, dial back...

Send us a text or voice message Whoever said War is Hell, likely never tried doing a weekly Star Wars podcast. They might change their tune a little. Either way, this week we explore war and hell as we discuss the 2002 film, Deathwatch. This one has a more modern Star Wars connection, but that doesn’t detract from the insanity of the performance or the quality of the film! You might want to feed t...

Send us a text or voice message On the next installment of the Star Wars Spooktacular aka Star Wars Spooky Dookie we will head back to the year it all began, 1977. No this isn’t to talk about Star Wars, but instead we will discuss another well known franchise as we tackle The Exorcist II: The Heretic. There is a Star Wars connection and if you’ve seen the film it will be pretty obvious what it is....

Send us a text or voice message When is a Star Wars Podcast not a Star Wars Podcast? You’re about to find out! This week kicks off our Star Wars Spooktacular October. We take turns picking a Star Wars adjacent horror film and first up is Rocky’s choice. He picks a film with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, what could possibly go wrong? It might be more appropriate to ask, what could possibly go...

Send us a text or voice message This week we kick off our 2024 Star Wars Spooktacular month by discussing our format for October and announcing the first Star Wars adjacent film for discussion on next week’s show! Yes Star Wars has been host to many horror legends so this shouldn’t be too difficult, however you may be surprised by the first pick. Listen to this episode… if you dare. We also find o...

Send us a text or voice message The year is 2015 and the spectacle known as Star Wars has returned. There are sold out theaters and lines out the door. There is nostalgia and legacy characters we know and love. There are also cool, new characters. And the story… oh the story… well it was ok but we intend to improve upon it with the final act in our Project Retcon series. This week we tackle the se...

Send us a text or voice message How does one improve a masterpiece? It's actually quite challenging. We attempt to do just that as we continue Project Retcon, this time examining the OG Trilogy and trying to come up with ways to make it even better. While there may not be quite the sweeping changes as in last week's episode, we still manage to come up with some decent ideas that might im...

Send us a text or voice message You wanted the Star Wars, you get the Star Wars! This week we kick off our new segment, Project Retcon. For our maiden voyage we start all the way at the beginning… well the beginning of the story. We each pitch an idea that would improve the prequel trilogy. Somehow this all flows incredibly well together and we manage to stay on topic for almost the duration of th...
