May The Panel Be With You

Lando vs Garbage Worm. What more could you ask for? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We all love Droid stories, right? Especially ones exclusively starring C-3PO and R2-D2? Okay, but what if they were both hurled into the sun? So that is not exactly what happens in this issue, but it's not not what happens in this issue. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jetpacks and Ugnaughts and Talking Bombs, oh my! It's part 2 of the Battle for Cloud City and we get off to an explosive start and finish! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Lobot Talk, we're talking Lobot. You know? Lobot? Lando's best pal and bald robot guy that lives on Cloud City? Yeah, that Lobot! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We take some time to look back on 2024 and all the things there that we liked! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After a sojourn into some 90s cross-promotional nonsense, we're hitting the ground running in the early 80s again as we kill more time before Return of the Jedi! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we are Paneling Up to talk about a couple of nasty folks gracing a small screen near you. Specifically Agatha All Along and The Penguin, to be clear. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We wrap up our time with Shadows of the Empire with a long hard look at ill-considered tie-in properties, the value of Dash Rendar and a strange love for going back to the early 80s. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We continue our baffling coverage of this comic book adaptation(?) of Shadows of the Empire, the multimedia experiment with a couple of weak links. In this issue Luke inexplicably escapes captivity (unless you've read the novel), Prince Xizor gets gross and Boba Fett continues to be a monologuing nutcase! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're in the belly of the beast now as we cross the halfway mark of our coverage of Shadows of the Empire. Boba Fett is a maniac. Jabba needs to find better help. And Luke Skywalker, remember him? Well, we skip all the cool stuff he does to see him get captured. And we get an explanation for that disguise Leia wears in Return of the Jedi! Isn't that neat?! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy fo...

Side characters? Oh boy do we have side characters! From Darth Vader's best pal to a swoop gang full of weirdos, we've got enough people who aren't really involved in the main plot to shake a stick at! And I guess Luke Skywalker is there too... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Who is your Han Solo when you don't have Han Solo? It's Dash "Totally More Awesome than Han Solo" Rendar, baby! [Insert sick guitar licks here] Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We start our coverage of Shadows of the Empire, the Star Wars media project without a movie at its center! Time to live in that sweet, sweet 90s nostalgia for a while. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's time we wrap things up on Barsoom as we close out this two parter of reused art and backbreaking story concessions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What if Marvel made a John Carter of Mars comic? What? They did? Wait, why the heck are we talking about John Carter of Mars on a Star Wars comic book podcast?! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're digging into some good stuff here! Leia kicking butt, an Imperial Officer coup attempt and more Vader than you can shake a lightsaber at! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're entering a bold new era of the original Marvel Star Wars comic, one full of rad Vader moments and plots that make sense! We won't get too attached but it's fun while it lasts. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

They said we couldn't do it. Cover 50 issues of the original Marvel Star Wars book. They said, "Those Punch Up boys could never get it done!" Well we showed them, didn't we? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Let us continue our run of "Guys who think they are Jedi but probably aren't" in this book as Luke & Leia go undercover to do... something. There's a prince involved. That much we know. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this month's Panel Up we discuss the newest Batman animated series. Spoiler alert, we liked it! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The debate is on about whether this is the worst issue of Marvel's original Star Wars series we have read thus far! It certainly ain't good. Unless you really wanted Darth Vader depicted like a Hanna-Barbera cartoon villain, in which case it will never get better than this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You know what sort of stories are always the BEST in Star Wars? Droid-centric stories. You know, the ones that make us question things like the morality of artificial sentient beings and Luke Skywalker owning them. Yep. So cool. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're through the looking glass on this one folks, in a Star Wars story so transgressive that the author took his own name off it. Just kidding, it's a weird jumble of mixed messages and space genies, though the writer did still take his name off of it... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But what if there was a Death Probe? We're moving beyond The Empire Strikes Back and into a bold new era that is really determined not to move too quickly. So let's start things off with a big scary space robot! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we discuss the newest entry in the Star Wars franchise, The Acolyte. We talk some High Republic, the usual rigmarole about hyperbolic "fans" and how the there is so much room for different stories in a Galaxy Far, Far Away. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
