Force Insensitive - A Star Wars Podcast

Send us a text or voice message This week we provide a double dose of discussion of The Bad Batch with two new episodes; S3E6: Infiltration and S3E7: Extraction. Unironically we also provide a double dose of dookie as we have a conversation that is mostly devoid of any entertainment value, comedy, or frankly anything of interest whatsoever. Are you sold yet? Well maybe we’re being a bit harsh so y...

Send us a text or voice message This week we are once again excited to discuss The Bad Batch as we break down S3E5: The Return. The title got us excited for the return of a beloved character but despite not getting that, we still were treated to another solid episode. We discuss this and other things in great detail. Some of those things might make you wince, they might make you shudder, and they...

Send us a text or voice message We are once again excited to talk about The Bad Batch this week, which is why it's surprising that we had so many derailments! We finally get around to discussing our affection for the Crosshair & Omega team-up on S3E4: A Different Approach. We also get back on the chain code gang, pay a visit to ye ol’ pirate Rigging Tony, and find out which one fell off t...

Send us a text or voice message The day has finally arrived where we can once again discuss a new Star Wars show. Granted, that show is the Bad Batch which we don’t have a great track record with, but we’re still ecstatic nonetheless. Might the first three episodes of the third and final season surprise us? They just might. Perhaps we have turned over a new leaf as tender Wreckers not tenderonis....

Send us a text or voice message There are moments in an artists’ life despite all the struggles, despite all the time and effort, that they are just proud of the work that they have accomplished. This is not one of those times. Join us as we sorta talk about love in the Star Wars Galaxy in honor of Valentines Day! If this is the final time you hear us (unfortunately, it won’t be) then so long and...

Send us a text or voice message As a companion piece to last week’s episode about the origin and evolution of The Force we decided to flip the coin over and discuss the evolution of technology in the Star Wars Galaxy. We discuss all the different forms of tech, how Star Wars differs from other Sci-Fi franchises, and of course we learn how to stick your fist in a horn. Hope in your Flamborghini bec...

Send us a text or voice message What exactly is The Force? It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds up the entire galaxy so badly that it needs a Sith laxative. Or something like that. This week we explore the origins and evolution of The Force in Star Wars. We talk about its confusing beginnings and settle on one of the more interesting aspect...

Send us a text or voice message Good news is we finally have some new Star Wars on the schedule. Bad news is we have to fill a few more weeks with nonsense until we get there. We kick off this week’s nonsense by breaking down the new Bad Batch Season Three trailer drop. We talk about the plot points, the characters, and the surprises! We also discuss some of the other shows we might see in 2024. I...

Send us a text or voice message What happens when all constraints are removed and we can talk about anything we want? Well we talk about Star Wars, of course. That’s not all though, we journey into some odd and interesting territory. Join us for a no holds barred discussion show where we run the gamut from a Star Wars themed donut shop to finding out which host is banned at the Vatican! If you hav...

Send us a text or voice message This initial jaunt into our discussions of films that are tangentially related to Star Wars has brought us to some dark corners of the galaxy and this week is no different. We will discuss R2D2: Beneath the Dome, a mockumentary about everyone’s favorite Astromech droid. We go to some weird places this week as we jump the Air Sharkie to help Third Turd phone home. Tu...

Send us a text or voice message This week we go back to the beginning. No, not 1977 but 1936. The dawn of the Sci-Fi serial responsible for inspiring George Lucas to create Star Wars. We will be discussing the first three chapters of the first Flash Gordon serial from 1936! Did watching early cinematic Sci-Fi serials cause us to fill up a pair of Mongo City hot pants, or did we want to order secon...

Send us a text or voice message Without any new Star Wars we have no choice but to spend an entire episode discussing the Star Wars film that never was. This week we do a deep dive into Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire, the latest offering to the Cult of Snyder. Did Lucasfilm make a mistake by not allowing this into the Star Wars galaxy or did we make a mistake spending over three hours talk...

Send us a text or voice message We are back! This week we continue the gift giving as Marz selects his present to us in the form of the horror film Skinned Deep for us to discuss. You might ask how in the world does this relate to Star Wars? Well it stars Warwick Davis, that’s how! Oh but not just any old role, Warwick Davis plays the character of Plates, your normal everyday plate sharpshooter. Y...

Send us a text or voice message On November 17th, 1978 there was a great disturbance in the force. This was the day The Star Wars Holiday Special was witnessed by 13 million viewers and would be forever etched upon the subconscious of all that were subject to its torture. It birthed iPads, VR Porn, and started a joke which started the whole world crying… for more horrible interpretive dance, Bea A...

Send us a text or voice message We’re approaching the gift giving season so there is no better (or worse) time for us to unleash this episode on your unsuspecting ear holes. We bookend our rewatch of the theatrical versions of the original Star Wars trilogy and discuss the finer points and discoveries while revisiting these classics. You may, nay, will find out the answers to questions you had no...

Send us a text or voice message Our journey back to where it all began nears its end as we focus our discussion this week on Return of the Jedi. We compare the theatrical cut to the Disney+ digital versions, we talk about deleted scenes, and the sheer brilliance on display with so many aspects of this film. We also have the realization that the first act of this film is nearly perfect. While we ge...

Send us a text or voice message This week we have an in depth discussion about one of the greatest films of all time, The Empire Strikes Back. We compare the theatrical version to the special editions and talk about how bold it was to have this as the sequel to Star Wars. We also dive into all the important topics like; how long did Luke train on Dagobah, when did George know that Luke and Leia we...

Send us a text or voice message We decided to try something a little different this week and discuss a movie. We chose a little known independent film that features a young farm boy who meets a creepy old man that hitches a ride from a drug dealer and his pet dog. Together they try to rescue a princess from a flying ball of death. Then they all get down together while listening to some jizz and ge...

Send us a text or voice message What’s wrong with a little revisionist history? Especially when it’s done by the creator? We attempt to dive into the question as it relates to Star Wars and the Special Editions, and all the other changes, additions, and subtractions that have occurred to the original theatrical release since it hit theaters. This discussion is the prelude to us revisiting the tril...

Send us a text or voice message With no live action shows and nothing new on the horizon, what are we ever going to talk about? Well if you know us you know we don’t even need a topic to BS but we decided to have one anyways since the spooky season is upon us! Join us for our Star Wars Spooktacular where we eventually talk about the spookiest aspects of the galaxy far, far away we all love. We als...

Send us a text or voice message As the old proverb goes, Idle minds are the devil’s playthings. That is none more true than in this episode. Without any new Star Wars on the horizon, we have an open discussion about what we’ll be doing for the show format for the foreseeable future, and we go off on dangerous tangents. If you’re going for the final naptime  you better have a license to Ilum. You’l...

Send us a text or voice message What happens when you have five friends get together for a rare live show to discuss the entirety of Season One of Ahsoka? Well aside from the occasional nugget of eloquence there is a game of ring around the Peridea, rollercoaster fingerblasting with Rick and Mortis, and we attempt to build a better jedi not covered in swars. All that and there were zero occurrence...

Send us a text or voice message The story comes to a close. For now. We got a lot of answers, but new questions have arisen. In the end, our galaxy traded two capable warriors and a brilliant droid for one space jesus from a far away galaxy. Is it a fair trade, perhaps you should give the episode a listen to find out as we discuss Ahsoka Part 8: The Jedi, The Witch, and The Warlord. You’ll also be...

Send us a text or voice message War and turmoil rage as we continue our adventure in a galaxy far, far away from our normally far away galaxy! Nightsister sacrifice, Noti and Howlers living together… MASS HYSTERIA! This week we answer the tough questions like; did we find a receptacle large enough to contain our enjoyment for Ahsoka Part 7: Dreams and Madness? Who is the most interesting man in th...

Send us a text or voice message It seems like we’ve awaited this moment for… *checks notes* ever! The live action debut of… *intense organ music intensifies* Grand Admiral Thrawn! Oh, and we also get a heaping helping of Ezra Bridger for good measure. There is so much to discuss about Ahsoka Part Six: Far, Far Away. We spent almost 4 hours talking about a 49 minute episode. Oh but there were all t...
