The Skyhoppers Podcast

This is an… unorthodox episode of Skyhoppers. In that it isn't meant to be an episode at all. This is actually the first half of an Obroa-skai Walkers episode where Cole and Ben talk EXTENSIVELY about Episode 7 of Andor. So it's basically a Skyhoppers episode. Enjoy!

EVA LIVES. But they've moved literally across the country so they have been missing out on Andor, which is incredibly unfortunate as we all know. So we try to discuss that in as spoiler-free of a manner as possible and then spend a surprising amount of time talking about Lego Star Wars. Chalk it up to us recording on Sunday mornings now, I guess.

Andor is really REALLY something, huh? It doesn't take up the entirety of the discussion this evening, but it gets a vast majority of our airtime. But it's just me and Cole, so obviously Obroa-skai Walkers leaks just a little bit.

We recorded on a Sunday night to bring you our complete thoughts on the first three episodes of ANDOR. Spoiler alert: we all think it's great and can't wait for more. Also: apologies on the audio quality this week. Technical difficulties led us to this point, but I'm just glad the episode still exists! Hopefully you are too.

I am all alone this evening! We're pushing our recording back this week so that more of us have time to watch the three episodes of ANDOR, but I still felt like talking about Star Wars. So I dug out some of the books from my collection and talked about why I think they're important for half an hour! Maybe that's your thing! Maybe not! Anyway, I tried my best!

Ben and Cole go all in on the news from D23! And then end up getting stuck almost entirely on the Mando Season 3 trailer. Because who wouldn't?

"At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi… At last we will have our revenge." It's time, listeners! He's back! We're covering the last four episodes of Season 4 of The Clone Wars this week, and Maul makes his triumphant return! Also Ventress does some awesome stuff and Bossk is there.

Ben and Dakota are FINALLY playing a Star Wars RPG, Cole has finished Shadow of the Sith, and Eva is back on Lego Star Wars! And then we spend too much time talking about video games while we're trying to do the outro. It's a mess.

A myriad of topics this time! Andor trailer, use of the Volume compared to REAL SETS and PRACTICAL EFFECTS, and Cal Kestis in live action??? It's less likely than you think.

Regular listeners! This is the fourth in a series of Patreon-exclusive episodes that I record with Austin of The Ossus Project where we take deep dives into various aspects of the Star Wars -verses, both uni- and meta-. Have this one on the house, and consider subbing at our Patreon for as little as $1 a month to get all future episodes as well as the three that we've done already (plus all that s...

The Clone Wars is back! This week we're all about the Obi-Wan undercover arc with all of our scummy friends, up to and (maybe) including Moralo Eval. Additionally, Eva takes us on a wild ride regarding Splinter of the Mind's Eye. You won't wanna miss it.

I guess this is part two from our books episode that we released last time?? Dakota is back, so we catch up on Brotherhood a little bit as well as Rogue Squadron. After some (spoiler-free) gushing about Shadow of the Sith and Matthew Stover, we have a great chat regarding the place of novels in the ever-growing Star Wars universe. For not having a topic when we sat down, this one turned out great!

Sowwy. No new episode dis week ;_; Life is hard! So have an old episode! I picked this one because I recently had a discussion with a friend about how TPM is clearly the best Prequel film. I will not be taking criticism at this time.

Eva is back! They join the show to give a few thoughts on the Kenobi finale before sending us into a discussion on the recent happenings in the world of Star Wars books! It's been far too long since we've checked in on that front.

The Kenobi finale obviously takes center stage here, but we catch up on the bit of comics news we missed, the impact of leaks on our enjoyment, and there's no way we were gonna get out of here without talking at least a LITTLE about "Corran" (Horn).

I am alone this week! It's a very weird feeling. But I also can't believe that I haven't done this yet because you all know how much I love the sound of my own voice. But anyway, this is a little recap of my trip to Anaheim, Disneyland, and Celebration and my thoughts on all of the news we got. There was so much!!!

Some light Brotherhood talk leads into some mild Ronin talk (Dakota has read it too now) which leads into the meat of this week's episode: the Vanity Fair articles! Star Wars is alive and well and we love to hear it!

We still find ourselves in that pre-Celebration lull, so we just kind of have at it again this week! Ben talks about his Star Wars collection database, we round up some rumors, and speculate a bit more on Kenobi and lament the lack of a narrative middle ground for the series. You'll understand what we mean when we get there.

Who needs a topic for a Star Wars Day episode? Not us! Despite not having one when we sat down, we found quite a few. In this episode: Attack of the Clones! Kenobi trailer! Star Wars Galaxies! Disney Gallery: The Book of Boba Fett! And Yum Brands cups from 20 year ago!

We're back from our little Skyhoppers Spring Break! And we come bearing CLONE WARS. Season 4 really hasn't let us down outside of that first arc, which makes me wonder how long that streak can continue. Hopefully at least until the Droid arc in Season 5. Prepare yourself for the most graphic violence that The Clone Wars has to offer!

Sheryl Crow said "every day is a winding road." and this episode is no exception. We talk about Celebration, The Last Jedi, Lego Star Wars, and… nostalgia? I don't know man. We always talk about Star Wars. We don't always promise that it will be relevant.

This episode has PATREON QUESTIONS about Star Wars Eclipse and Fallen Order! It has lightsabers! It has HOME RELEASES! And it has a tiny Ewok figurine! Among many other objects from our Star Wars collections!

Dakota is once again missing, but Eva is curious about starting their journey through LEGENDS in earnest, so Ben and Cole are here to serve as not only their guide, but also the guides for any of you that might be wanting to read some of the best Star Wars content out there without knowing where to begin.
