Han Took Shots First

In the wake of the heist on Aldhani, the Empire takes the opportunity to rewrite laws and clamp down on anyone who opposes their power. Meanwhile, Mon Mothma takes a big chance reaching out to another powerful politician for help with the rebellion while our hero Cassian is imprisoned for six years by an overenthusiastic Shoretrooper. In the second episode, Cassian is hauled off to the sterile env...

In the first half of this episode, our hero Cassian must navigate the distrust inherent in being the new kid on campus with a crew of rebels conducting a secret operation to steal the quarterly payroll from an entire Imperial sector. His secret of being a mercenary and not a true believer in the cause is revealed, tensions rise and pasts are uncovered! In the second half, we finally get to the mea...

First up, episode 3 finds our hero, Cassian Andor, desperately avoiding arrest and finding help from the great Stellan Skarsgård, a mysterious man with deep, unknown connections. The fourth episode sees Cassian being recruited by the Rebellion to help with a dangerous mission to infiltrate an Imperial garrison on a remote planet. With fireworks! Don't forget you can get these episodes early, ad-fr...

Jack and Derrick are joined once again by Ryan to dicuss the first two episodes of ANDOR! The first, Kassa, focuses on Cassian Andor's reckless search for answers about his past, which leads to him becoming a wanted man and going on the run. The next episode, That Would Be Me, is about Andor's attempt to hide out on the planet Farrax as agents of the Empire begin to close in on him. We're really e...

Jack and Derrick reach the finale of Obi-Wan Kenobi , joined this time by their friend Ryan when Obi-Wan finally faces off against his old friend and new enemy Darth Vader! We haven't watched these episodes, so we don't have much of a summary here, but tune in for the conclusion before we dive into the next series in the chronology, Andor !

We dive further into the tale of Obi-Wan Kenobi protecting an annoying and precocious 10-year-old Leia Organa from the Empire! We learn more about the villain, more about what Obi-Wan has been up to and more about the galaxy far, far away.

Jack and Derrick sit down with Whitney to discuss their reactions to and thoughts on the new trailer for Disney's upcoming Star Wars series, SKELETON CREW!

Jack and Derrick begin their journey into Disney+ content of the Star Wars saga with the first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi starring Ewan Mcgregor! This series takes place approximately 9 Years BBY, placing it 10 years after Revenge of the Sith and 9 years before A New Hope. We follow the adventure of Obi-Wan Kenobi as he tries to protect Leia from a guy with a spinny lightsaber! Stay tuned for...

Jack and Derrick are joined by their friend Ryan for the second half of our discussion on the next entry in the main saga... SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY! Directed (kinda) by Ron Howard, this film is one of the LEAST successful entries in the Star Wars cinematic saga and has been cited as the reason for the decreased output of theatrical Star Wars properties in recent years. We get the entirely unneces...

New Star Wars means bonus content for you! We interrupt our regularly scheduled podcast to bring you coverage of the brand new Disney+ show, THE ACOLYTE! This is it, the END the The Acolyte season 1 and we get to see if everything pays off our if we're just left hanging! Jack and Derrick are joined by Whitney, our special guest and co-host of Bad Movies Worse People, to dive into the world's FIRST...

New Star Wars means bonus content for you! We interrupt our regularly scheduled podcast to bring you coverage of the brand new Disney+ show, THE ACOLYTE episodes 5 and 6! Whitney and Ryan join Jack and Derrick to dive into the world's FIRST look into the High Republic era outside of EU literature!

Derrick and Jack close out their discussion of the prequel trilogy with arguably the best entry in the franchise. In this film, we leave much of the political chatter and pointless drivel behind to dive into the ACTION! Anakin still spends much time crying with Padme about babies or something. Still, Obi-Wan kicks some major ass, Dooku is unceremoniously murdered and a four-armed lightsaber-wieldi...

Sorry this one is a day late, but we got it out as fast as we could considering the circumstances. We're half way through THE ACOLYTE and the mystery continues to build, but the action hasn't been there to pay it off. Our Jedi heroes (?) travel to the planet of Khofar to save the Wookie Jedi Kelnacca from Mae's wrath but will they be too late? PLUS we finally get a good look at Mae's mysterious Ma...

This episode should be covering both episodes 3 and 4 of THE ACOLYTE, but we had a delay due to personal reasons and episode 4 will be later. Hopefully only one day. Thank you for understanding. This time we dive into the third episode of THE ACOLYTE titled DESTINY. A Rashomon-esque flashback to the childhood of Mae and Osha told from one point of view, we start to see what happened 16 years ago o...

Part 2 of our discussion on Episode II of the prequel trilogy, we dive into this cringy snoozefest, while still trying to find redeeming qualities in what both Jack and Derrick consider one of the weakest entries in the Saga. The second Star Wars prequel film, directed by George Lucas and starring Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christiansen, Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson and a bunch of computer alien...
