The Force Dyad Podcast

In this MEGA Mandalorian sized episode we take a look back at the whole of Season 3, while briefly discussing some of the episodes we missed. Was S3 the dawn of a new beginning for Mandalorian culture? What were the things we liked most about this season and what were the things we'd have done a little different? We also take a "far to early to predict" look at what might come from S...

After a brief lull complete with vacations and technical difficulties we are back for Episode #50!!! With so much happening over the last few weeks, we decide to take a look at The Bad Batch season finale (and season as a whole) as well as the exciting news to come from Star Wars Celebration in London. We still don't think Obi-Sean has fully recovered from the loss of Tech, and all the movie n...

Welcome to a new series chronicling my (Obi-Sean's) journey through Star Wars Rebels! These will be quick hit episodes aimed at providing quick synopsis', relevant episode factoids, and some of my thoughts on the different episodes.

In this double dose episode we look back at episodes 10 & 11 of The Bad Batch! A brief retrieval of the Marauder finds the squad trusting a squirrely child thief and helping to liberate an ipsium outpost from a tyrannical leader. Meanwhile, it seems the Kaminoans weren't only interested in human cloning as we see the return of the Zillo beast in "Metamorphosis". While episode 10 does little to...

This episode we take a look at Episode #9 of The Bad Batch, "The Crossing". This is a super important episode from a macro perspective as it really highlights the varying ways different personalities handle the same situation, and the guys really dive into that aspect. In discussing Tech and Omega's interactions the guys share very personal stories about their own lives and how those experiences h...

In this episode we take a look Episode 7 ("The Clone Conspiracy") and Episode 8 ("Truth and Consequences") of the Bad Batch! Two very important episodes which help to 'fill the gaps' in understanding how the TK program came to be, and how the Empire eventually decommissioned the Clones. On top of that the squad loses a member, setting up a trying period for the team. We look at who the mysterious...

On this special episode we are celebrating 'Star Wars Podcast Day' by sharing our favorite, and least favorite, character from the Disney era of Star Wars. Don't worry, this isn't a bash fest but rather a constructive look at where we felt certain characters maybe fell flat (or weren't given the chance) and where others have shined. We also have a couple 'honorable mentions' to go along with it, s...

We've got double trouble on today's episode as we cover both 'Entombed' and 'Tribe'. Despite the differences, they are rather intertwined and come with a number of questions: Who are the ancient's who built Skara Nal? Could they be the Zeffo or was it someone else?  Will Omega's naivety get the Batch into trouble they can't escape later this season?  Who is the buyer for Gungi? Did we ge...

In this episode we recap and breakdown The Bad Batch S2:EP3, The Solitary Clone! Choosing to focus on the isolation experienced by both Crosshair and Cody, this episodes brings with it a deep message and does a lot to humanize them both. Couple that with the Empire's view of clones, and there is much to unpack. Oh, and you've got an epic firefight, reminiscent of the old Clone Wars days...NBD! A l...

The BAD BATCH is back! Season 2 kicks off with a double drop, "Spoils of War" and "Ruins of War", and the guys are back to recap them both. Omega has clearly leveled up her skill tree, and it's nice to see Echo and Tech involved for a change. We get a couple of fun nods to the original Clone Wars show, but has Rampart positioned himself to be the "Big Bad" this season? We look ahead to what the re...

As we come to a close on 2022 we take the opportunity to look back on what was, and look ahead to what will be in 2023! In the spirit of Festivus we will be airing our grievances on some of the things we felt came up a bit short, but also look at those positive things displaying "great feats of strength". We'll then look ahead to 2023 and with Bad Batch S2 right around the corner share a quick pre...
