The MandaLore

Penultimate episode time! We're at the second last one for Skeleton Crew with still no idea if there will be more! And things take a terrible turn...Jod goes full bad guy, bullying the kids and taking over the ship, all for his big payday. We get a lot of answers about the Mint on At Attin, and discover what's really going on there...but it's still shrouded in some mystery that hopefully we get an...

Goonies would be proud of this episode! The kids are on their own this time, with no adults, or droids to help them out, and so they have to figure out the situation and how to work together to make it out alive! It's a great story with a compassionate touch as only Bryce Dalls Howard can do, and this wonderful episode really lets the kids grow as actors and characters. But now everyone is headed...

Happy Life Day MandaLore fans! As in Merry Christmas to all our listeners! It's episode 5 of the Skeleton Crew, all about pirates!

Hey Mandalore fans! The full trailer for Skeleton Crew has released, and just as you know it be true, we are here to break it down for you and discuss what we saw, and where it might be going. This was an interesting approach for Star Wars, so we will see if it helps get viewers to try it out! We will want your feedback for this show so we can gauge whether fans are digging it or not! Send in your...

Hey MandaLore fans! Finally we are striking BACK! We know it's been awhile, but we have a special discussion for you on this episode, as Siber Wren was all the way down in Kentucky to visit D.Vizsla and we got to record a show in person together. We catch up on a lot of news, dive into the Outlaws game, discuss other game ideas, and touch on Skeleton Crew a little bit.  It's a great show and one t...

The next adventure awaits us! This time it's  Star Goonies….errr..I mean  Skeleton Explorers…no, that's not it…Stand By Me Crew…uhh..nope…Battery Wars Included. Nope, how about Super 8 Crew? Oh geez, it's Skeleton Crew! The new Amblin Entertainment and Disney collaboration!

The Acolyte has come to a close. Did it live up to the hype? Was all that happened worth what the Jedi did to themselves? Are you wanting a second season to continue the story? Siber Wren and D.Vizsla evaluate all that went down in this finale, from the awesome lightsaber duels, to the dialogue, to the story and characters, as you know we always do. Plus our feedbackers have a LOT to say about the...

The penultimate episode of The Acolyte. Once again we go back 16yrs and witness the events on Brendok through the Jedi's perspective this time. We see what they did. We see what happened. Was it enough to warrant putting themselves through the self made torture? Torbin killing himself? Kalnacca isolating himself? What else did we learn or did we get just more questions? We do our best to answer it...

More questions than answers this week on The Acolyte! With two episodes left, there's still a lot we need to uncover and find answers for. Has Osha chosen to join The Stranger? Can Sol catch up to them and deal with him? Will Vernestra catch up with Sol before it's too late? Is the Stranger working alone, is HE the Master? And who was his master when he was a Jedi? Who is going to survive all this...

Darkness has fallen. Jedi lay around the forest floor, having expelled their last breath.  It's a slaughter.  The Stranger wields power they have not seen before, and were unprepared to defend against it. Now only one remains standing.  Sol, the Jedi Master who has his own inner demons to contend with, now must face his darkest hour alone as he witnesses his Padawans and allys get cut down. This i...

The race is on. Who can get to Kalnacca first on Khofar....Mae and Qimir intent on killing him, or the Jedi trying to save him? Apparently walking through heavily dense forests can make you think on things, as we see Mae come to a new decision that she doesn't need to do the master's bidding anymore with her sister being alive. This of course angers the master as he finishes the job for her, strik...

Destiny. Those that believe in it, believe they cannot change their own path, and everything is already written for them in roads ahead. But, if you pull on the thread of destiny, you can alter it's direction and open new paths to take. That's what we bare witness too as we go back 16yrs to when Osha and Mae were young and made their first big choices.  The problem is, you may not be ready for the...

The Acolyte is upon us... An assassin out to complete one mission. Kill the four Jedi that she seeks revenge on. That's what we learn in these two opening episodes. And she's already halfway done! That assassin is the twin sister of a former Jedi who thought her for dead. But it turns out she also thought her sister was dead. And now they both know each other lives. Will Osha and Mae work together...

It's bonus episode time! Here's our Calgary Expo 2024 MandaLore Live show! We had great fan interaction this year, and if you were there, thanks for coming out! The unfortunate thing is the audio for the fan questions didn't come out that great as there wasn't a good mic picking up the room so it's very quiet. We have done as much as we can to increase the volume of it, but hopefully you can tell...

The end is here. The Bad Batch has come to a close. An emotional conclusion to a three season journey. It is always hard to say goodbye to a show that really gets to you. One that has characters you fall in love with. And the Bad Batch was just that. A found family of brothers, a sister, and all sorts of adventure. But there's sunlight in the sky, instead of a broody, overcast day, as the team sur...

The penultimate episode of the final season for the Bad Batch. It's always tough to get through this one as you know it's almost the end. We get all the setup we need for the finale as the team makes it to Tantiss to find Omega, but they're split up with Echo stuck on the inside having to disguise himself as a Storm Trooper, and Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair crash to the surface with Rampart in tow!...

Things are ramping up and getting very tense around here! Yet again following some of the best action thriller movies to bring us our story! Holy intense, edge of your seat build up this week, as we wait with baited breath to see if the Batch can make it to that shuttle that's headed for Tantiss! It's a nailbiter, Mission Impossible style, and doesn't let you breathe for those final moments. Meanw...

The galaxy is a lot darker tonight.... In Identity Crisis, The Bad Batch goes into some gloomy territory with the stories of this double episode, as we see just what Hemlock is up to in his experiments. Kids are being kept as specimens, used for their blood and treated like lab rats.  Emerie Karr gets promoted to Chief Science Officer, and finds out what Nala Se was working on...or who rather once...
