The Skyhoppers Podcast

We were at Gen Con two weeks ago! Which was fun, but it kept us away from the podcast. But we're back now to report on the Star Warsy things we did at Gen Con as well as to spend like 45 minutes talking about Ahsoka (both the show and the person).

We do some catching up this week: checking in with Cole re: Jedi: Survivor, talking to Dakota about Path of Vengeance a little bit, and of course… the Ahsoka trailer. There's a lot to say about that last one.

THE WAIT IS OVER! You've all been waiting with bated breath, right? I'm sure. Anyway. Eva has taken a step back from the pod, but the rest of us are here to (mostly) cover (mostly) everything we've missed! Mando S3,. Visions, THR, and Survivor! It's good to be back, friends. Thanks for sticking with us

Hi! We've been gone! And we're not sure exactly when we're going to be back. But we're talking about it!

This might be the biggest Star Wars podcast ever recorded. That's probably hyperbole, but I don't even care because it certainly felt that way. We cover not one but TWO episodes of THE MANDALORIAN leading up to the season finale and of course everything that dropped at STAR WARS CELEBRATION. Excitement ensues!

We made it!! Somehow, against all odds, we made it to episode 300. And in typical Skyhoppers fashion, we get up to some nonsense: a Star Wars… draft? There are different categories and we all take turns taking things from those categories and it's FUN. Thank you all so much for sticking with us for all this time

Eva is not quite caught up with The Bad Batch but we're all on the same page regarding THE MANDALORIAN! Season 3 is definitely off to a different start than seasons 1 or 2, but is that a bad thing? We discuss!

Recording OFF-SCHEDULE (which is funny because we recorded on Wednesdays for such a long time that it really just feels like we're back ON schedule) because THE BAD BATCH and THE MANDALORIAN are just that good! Crosshair! What's he up to? Where will he end up? Din Djarin! Did Bo-Katan give the Darksaber back for a reason? Will Grogu continue to do flips? Who IS Thrawn? All of this and more!

My god, there is too much happening! But that's actually a good thing. I was hoping that The Bad Batch episode might have been a little more forgettable this week so that we could spend more time with THE MANDALORIAN SEASON 3 premiere, but alas, that was not to be. So we get to talk about TWO awesome episodes of Star Wars TV this week! How incredible is that??

Eva is back! Again! We're hoping our new recording schedule means that they will be back on a regular basis from now on. But they bring some interesting thoughts about TBB S2, so we're happy they came home.

Dakota and Ben sit down with the intention of talking about Episode 9 of Season 2 of The Bad Batch, and while they get there eventually, they take a lengthy detour through The High Republic land and catch up with some discussion about Convergence by Zoraida Cordova and "new adult" novels!

OKAY. SO. We've had a pretty rough release schedule recently, but we've just made a deal that will keep us on a more regular and sustainable recording schedule (hopefully) forever. And we picked a good week to come back on because THE BAD BATCH is so freaking killer and none of us could wait to talk about it.

This is 1) late and 2) not even really an episode of Skyhoppers. But despite our rough release schedule (which is hopefully being addressed going forward), Cole and I were still able to get together and record Obroa-skai Walkers. And since the first half of that show tends to be about The Bad Batch, we decided to kill two mynocks with one stone. And hey, if you like our specific brand of Star Wars...

Ben and Dakota are joined by Austin from THE OSSUS PROJECT to talk about THE BAD BATCH season 2 episode 3: THE SOLITARY CLONE. Best episode of the series so far maybe? Probably.

They're back! Kind of! From The Ossus Project archives, this episode that was recorded many moons ago finally makes its appearance! Austin and Luke sit down to cover the comic adaptation of Han Solo At Stars' End and Knights of the Old Republic issues #0-#6.

Eva makes their triumphant return to lead us in a mini discussion of the Episode I Adventures comic from 1999 before we vault into our dissection of the first two episodes of the second season of THE BAD BATCH. We're checking back in with our friends like Hunta and Tik and of COURSE Amiga.

The Ossus Project lives! Albeit in a slightly different form. Listen in and learn more about what Austin has in store for 2023!

Ben, Cole, and Dakota are here to present the last Skyhoppers episode of 2022! After tackling a wee bit of news re: The Bad Batch and Jedi: Survivor, we dig into our favorite Star Wars things from the last year and make fun of Cole for being behind on reading.

ANDOR??? IS THE BEST STAR WARS TELEVISION SHOW TO DATE????

OBVIOUSLY we have to get into the penultimate episode of Andor this week and talk about what might be yet to come, but then we spend a weirdly long time in a good-faith discussion about the (sparse) usefulness of Jar Jar Binks as a dramatic character rather than a comedic one. Also comic shop shame.

AGAIN Ben and Cole do their best to sneak in about 40 minutes of Andor talk before Eva makes their appearance, and boy howdy is there a lot to talk about. Then the discussion towards Jedi Survivor which leads to a larger discussion about some Star Wars vidya. A typical Sunday morning in Skyhopper Land!

If this episode sounds a little different, it's because it is! I had to use the stream audio for this one due to some tech issues. What else is new? Anyway. We get into some spoiler talk before our resident Andor-and-TotJ-behinder Eva shows up, at which point we start discussing some of our favorite Canon things in honor of the tenth anniversary of the Disney acquisition! What's your favorite thin...
