Oh, it is ON in Ferrix! Andor’s season finale has left us all picking up the broken pieces of our hearts and minds. Join us as we discuss the final two episodes of Andor: Daughter of Ferrix and Rix Road. We go deep into the culture of Ferrix, the inspiration of Maarva, and the brilliance of all the actors in this series! Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, but the conversation is j...

In the words of Jyn Erso, it's been a long time! We are finally back to bring you our deep dive into the two episodes of Andor that we missed: Nobody's Listening and One Way Out. Prison is never a picnic, but something about the work they're doing doesn't feel like community service. These episodes leave us exploring the depth of the prison metaphor, the lessons on leadership, and the power of sac...

NYCC and back again! The Bros comes together to cover all the great insights we gained at New York Comic Con 2022 about the High Republic. But also, the Andor machine continues to roll on, and with that is more deep character development and another strong action sequence. These next two episodes really make you think differently about what it means to be a rebel, and it's a true gift to not just...

The wait is over! Andor is here, and it starts with a bang (wow, too soon)! This series has Star Wars fans (and even non-Star Wars fans) from all corners suddenly agreeing on something for a change…this one is special, and it’s clear to see why. Tune in as we discuss some of the major themes, including the Kenari, new characters (we talk about Syril a lot), and all the excitement that is to come,...

We are back! Back in the country, back to full health, and since Andor is around the corner, we are back to talk…Kenobi?! It is only fair that before we move on to the next hit on Disney+, we look back at the last one and think about all the lessons we took from it into the next one. This week, we talk about all the wisdom we learn from the point of view of Ben Kenobi, the broken man who is search...

The art of filmmaking has been a key part of our culture for the last decade, but it can be easily argued that ILM has been one of the most influential forces to the art growing to what it is today. With the Disney+ docuseries out now to show us more about how this amazing company came to be, we come together to discuss the best things we learned, the legacy of George Lucas as a leader and visiona...

The Bros are back from summer vacations just in time to watch our favorite Lego friends go on their own summer vacation! And while we’re all dreaming of being on a nice beach at the resort on Scariff (while counting down the days to Andor thanks to that fantastic trailer), our dreams also move into place where all Star Wars fans find themselves daydreaming…having force powers. In this episode, we...

As it turns out, parents in our galaxy aren't the only ones trying to pass down good manners. There is such thing as cultural norms, etiquette, and manners in our favorite galaxy as well. The Bros dig into the power of culture and proper manners in Star Wars, at least the ones we know about, and discuss the purpose of protocol droids. Not only do we expect you to learn how to be on your best behav...

Wow. Just wow! Just like that, the Obi-wan Kenobi series has wrapped up and we are left picking our jaws up off the floor. We are here to break down parts four, five, and six of what has been a fantastic series that is all pulled together to an epic and satisfying conclusion. We talk about the character arcs of Tala and Reva, the power of Vader, and the rebirth of Obi-Wan as the titular hero. Heav...

Our 50th (!!!) episode is all about the hit Disney+ show Obi-Wan Kenobi! Thank you for listening. Thank you for being part of our love of Star Wars. We appreciate you! In this one, the Bros cover just the first three episodes in this one. Warning: there are spoilers galore! If you haven't watched Parts I - III, and you don't want them spoiled for you, give 'em a watch and come back when you're rea...

Merchandise! Memorabilia! Collectibles! Star Wars has 'em all, and in abundance. Come on, it's a Disney franchise, what else would you expect? In this episode, we discuss some of our favorite pieces of merchandise that we own to show our love of Star Wars and share the stories behind those items that make them so special for us. Plus, we talk about the ultimate merchandise headquarters, Rancho Obi...

This year marks twenty years since the theatrical release of Episode II: Attack of the Clones! The Bros re-watch and reflect on the middle chapter of the prequel saga. They discuss the (super awkward) romance, the action, and, of course, the sand! Engage with us on Twitter (@starbrospodcast) and on Facebook. We're proud members of the Broaxium family. Engage with Broaxium on Twitter (@Broaxium) an...

With Obi-Wan now just one month away and everyone talking about Inquisitors, the Bros sit down to re-watch (and even watch for the first time) Season 1 of the beloved animated series, Rebels. If you want to relive your favorite moments from this season or just get the CliffsNotes version before you see Obi-Wan fight the Inquisitors himself, this is the episode for you! Join us next episode as we c...

It's been a few weeks now since Book of Boba Fett wrapped up, but it's still on our minds. So much so that we decided to revisit it and see what life lessons we could pull from this series alone. If you like our episode titled "Smaller In Number Are We, But Larger In Mind" where we discussed life lessons courtesy of George Lucas and Star Wars, then you don't want to miss this episode. We talk abou...

Well world, your patience has paid off. And as the Grand Inquisitor says, the key to hunting Jedi is patience. We’ve been given a small bit of footage for the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer just in time for us to discuss his great master, Qui-Gon Jinn. In this episode, we dissect the trailer and go over all the great things that Qui-Gon gave us in just one movie. His time on the screen may have b...

You know those robots that are always walking around in Star Wars? Don't they almost seem, I don't know, human? And I don't mean like they look and sound like humans (except in the case of R2-D2), but they do things like show emotion, experience challenges, and even grow. In this episode, we explore how the droids in Star Wars, especially C-3PO and R2-D2, are "characterized" as much as the other l...

All good things must come to an end, and we’ve reached that point for The Book of Boba Fett. It feels like only yesterday Boba Fett was aggressively negotiating the removal of Bib Fortuna from the throne. Now look at him! He’s fighting for the soul of Mos Espa. I guess we all grow soft in our old age. Tune in as we discuss the season finale to this tale of Boba Fett, and here’s to hoping that this...

How do you even write a description of this episode without spoiling all the wonderful gifts we have received from The Book of Boba Fett lately? Do yourself a favor and make sure you're caught up on chapters 5 and 6 of the show on Disney+ and then tune in to hear us attempt to contain our excitement for these chapters. See if you can count how many times we "geek out" over the events that unfold....

The chapters in Boba Fett's book keep rolling out with chapters 3 and 4, giving us something great to look forward to every Wednesday. These latest additions to Boba Fett's story have been quite the roller coaster for fans and there are lots of opinions floating around out there on the interwebs, so we are here to break it all down for you with our patented positive perspective. As a reminder, spo...

The wait is over! We finally have new Star Wars live-action content to enjoy again to kick off what will be an exciting year for Star Wars on Disney+. The Book of Boba Fett is off to a fantastic start and the bros are here to break it down for you, going through Chapters 1 and 2 (spoiler alert). And we're not alone: we are joined by our fellow Broaxium bro-host Chris Ryons. Join us next episode as...

It feels like just yesterday that we were all sitting in the theaters watching the mission of Rogue One unfold before our eyes. Believe it or not, it's actually been five years. To celebrate the occasion, we dedicate an entire episode to revisit the many boundaries that the movie pushed for Star Wars and relive its best lessons and moments.  Join us next episode as we dissect the first two ep...

The holidays aren't complete without a little Star Wars, and this holiday season, we are gearing up for a hunt for a few bounties. In preparation for The Book of Boba Fett, we dive into the complicated profession of bounty hunting and discuss everything from the creed, our favorite bounty hunters, and of course...The Fett himself. Join us next episode when we celebrate the five-year anniversary of...

Some traditions are as old as time themselves, and carving a tip-yip to usher in the holiday season has to be one of those as old as a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. In this special episode, we say our graces for everything Star Wars has brought us in our lives, including a very recent Star Wars themed Flyers game that we attended. If you need a few ideas to be grateful for this year, t...

It's Life Day again, and this year, you better be ready to curl up by the campfire with a cup of hot spotchka, because it is story time!

Tune in next time for our second annual Halloween special where we have a few fun tricks (and maybe...
