Growing Up Skywalker

In this triple-header recap of Season 1, Episodes 2-4, General Grievous pimps his ride, Sam talks about WWII naval warfare (somehow it’s relevant) and you’ll never look at can openers the same way again. Come for Ahsoka’s backseat driving, stay for the giant space manta rays. Watching along with us? Next week, we’re watching Season 1, Episode 5: “Rookies.” See you Tuesday!

Our timelines converge (finally) as we catch up to “Ambush,” the pilot episode of The Clone Wars TV series. In other news, Toydarians are morally superior to all of us (Watto excluded) and healthy mentor/mentee relationships are not the Sith’s style. First 100 listeners get a visit from a chaos gremlin. Watching along with us? Next week, we’re covering the Malevolence arc of The Clone Wars TV show...

And we’re back (to The Clone Wars TV series, that is)! Anna cries, Sam becomes a big-brained antagonist apologist, and then Anna cries again. #JusticeFor99. Watching along with us? Next week, we’re covering “Ambush,” the pilot episode of The Clone Wars TV series. See you Tuesday!

In the second half of the feature-length Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie, Sam and Anna talk at length about Huttese genders and Ahsoka and Anakin get shot down again (yes – again). We also see IG-100 MagnaGuards at their absolute finest. First 100 listeners get to babysit baby Jabba. All listeners should beware of senators wearing white jumpsuits. Watching along with us? Next week, we’re covering...

Introducing Snips! In the first half of the feature-length Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie, we do our best to keep up with the lightning-fast plot changes. Obi-Wan commits war crimes, Anakin deals with an intern crisis and we (reluctantly) explore sex ed for Hutts. Watching along with us? Next Tuesday, we’re covering the second half of the film.

Diving straight into The Clone Wars TV series, we cover Season 2, Episode 16 (“Cat and Mouse”) and Season 1, Episode 16 (“Hidden Enemy”). Faux-hawks and facial hair abound in our first introduction to the Republic’s clone army. We talk about how Anakin was #BornThisWay, radicalizing moments, and why the aliens in The Clone Wars are just built better. Watching along with us? Next Tuesday, we’re wat...

In the second half of Attack of the Clones, we sing an ode to Mace Windu and rank Padme’s best outfits. Also, we throw in a casual conversation about the meaning of death (to Force users, that is). Quoth Anakin to C3PO: “Get in, loser, we’re going to Geonosis.”  Watching along with us? Next up in chronological order, we have Season 2, Episode 16 of The Clone Wars TV show, “Cat and Mouse,” the...

In the first half of Attack of the Clones, Anna finds out she accidentally became a true Star Wars fan and we discuss the impeccable Kaminoan aesthetics. Also, the Fetts get an honorary award for the healthiest father-son dynamics in Star Wars (for about 20 minutes, that is). Tune in on 99.7 The Podrace, Anakin’s signature station.

*slow, operatic fight scene music intensifies* Join for this week’s episode, where we talk about the thrilling conclusion to The Phantom Menace (not actually inspired by #WakandaForever) and how a 16-part plan cooked up by a 14-year-old actually works. First 100 listeners get a Gungan peace orb.

Let’s talk about the Jar-Jar in the room. Podracing: it’s the best. Qui-Gon is bae. #JusticeForJarJar. Join us for all these spicy takes and more in the first full-length episode of Growing Up Skywalker! All listeners get season tickets to the Malastare Podracing Circuit.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...Sam (resident Star Wars expert) and Anna (resident non-expert) began a Star Wars podcast that combines wisdom and wonder. Join us on Tuesdays as we watch every canonical Star Wars film and television appearance in chronological, in-universe order. Reliving the experience? Seeing it for the first time? We’re here for you, wherever you receive your holocro...
