TRIAD Of The FORCE: A Star Wars Podcast

While Star Wars Rebels showed us the war with the Empire from the perspective of the Ghost crew, it also did something peculiar that not many pieces of media do: make "beasts" sympathetic. More often that not, media usually portrays 'scary' animals as 'beasts', antagonists in the way of our heroes who must be vanquished without a second's thought. Rebels , however, strayed away from this conventio...

Well... we were SUPPOSED to talk about Star Wars Rebels as we continued celebrating #RebelsRemembered, but then we had to reschedule our recording, and THEN... that TRAILER DROPPED!

Blessed are we by Obi-Wan Kenobi to witness such things as the Grand Inquisitor, the Fortress Inqui...

Back in Season One, we discussed Joseph Campbell's The Hero's Journey (tHJ) and how it relates to the Star Wars films. As part of that discussion, we decided to break up each trilogy and look at it in pieces, according to tHJ: Departure, Initiation, and Return. In Season One we tackled the first part, Departure, which, in being the first part of tHJ, meant we discussed the first films of each Tril...

Chaos Rising was a rousing success in quick-starting a brand new Thrawn trilogy! It gave us  more Thrawn which felt familiar but new due to it's new setting and characters. The second book in the trilogy, Greater Good , continues that fantastic story set-up in Chaos Rising and furhters Thrawn's mission to protect the Chiss Ascendancy at any cost. Join us as we continue our book review series...

Star Wars games have been few and far between since the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney and the dissolution of LucasArts . Needles to say when the surprise announcement of Star Wars: Eclipse occurred with a trailer drop we were excited! However, after reading up on the studio responsible for the game, we were concerned and apprehensive about the game and Lucasfilm 's commitment to representatio...

Thrawn, a quintessential Star Wars villain (or in some cases hero). After seeing him rise to prominence in the Galactic Empire as the Grand Admiral we know and love, we now have a new take at the character: seeing his days before the Empire and his stories within the Unknown Regions in the Chiss Ascendancy. Prequels are tricky since we know where our characters end up, so is this prequel novel a g...

Batman, a character that like James Bond, has been recast several times. Each actor who dons the cowl brings their own unique take on the Dark Knight, from Adam West's campy Caped Crusader to Ben Affleck's uber brutal and gritty portrayal. Today we pit all the Bats against each other in our Battle Of The Bats! Who will dominate? Michael Keaton's legendary Batman from Batman and Batman Returns or V...

We are truly living in the Hayden Christen-naissance! Hayden's performance was a highly debated aspect of the Prequel Trilogy, but the Triad believes this debate has been unmerited. The recent news from The Hollywood Reporter derailed our plans for this episode because we just HAD to discuss this!
