Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast

Trying something a little different this week, with the first half of the LEGO Star Wars mini-series: Rebuild the Galaxy! We were both somewhat surprised by how honestly good this show ended up being, so let's jump in!

We wrap up Season 2 of our Chronological Clone Wars watch through with the finale of the Boba Fett arc, with a fun take on a Lassi episode to start and then we're joined once again by everyone's favorite pirate Hondo to close it out. Let's jump in!

Let's chat about or time at Space Con San Antonio, and break down the first episode of the Season 2 finale arc, with an introduction to a new version of Boba Fett that we haven't gotten to spend much time with yet. Let's jump in!

We have finally arrived at one of the strongest arcs in all of the Clone Wars early seasons, with a new introduction to Mandalore and its culture that will have long lasting impacts on new Star Wars canon. Unlike the previous episode, almost every character or setting introduced here matters, and we have a blast learning about them all. Let's jump in!

We return with a true standalone episode which we were surprised to learn came directly from a George Lucas pitch. Not our favorite, but a fun little reference to Stray Dogs, a 1949 Kurosawa film about a police officer who loses his revolver. Let's jump in!

We continue our watch-through with a very typical Clone Wars episode with some fun lightsaber fights and exciting battles, followed by half of an episode which discusses the moral quandary with using Clones, with the other half being a continuation of the less than exciting chase for Grievous. We end up wishing that the focus had been entirely on the Clones, and the question of whether they are allowed to have free-will, but it does lay some interesting groundwork for later seasons of Clone Wars and The Bad Batch. Let's jump in!

We finally end our five episode "Second Battle of Geonosis" arc with a two-part horror story line, which we find to be one of the most unique stories told in all of Clone Wars. Somehow managing to delightfully toe the line between scary and fun, it leaves both of us wishing we had more horror themes in Star Wars content. Let's jump in!

We continue on, a week delayed, with the middle part of our 5-part Geonosis arc. Standing strong on their own, Landing at Point Rain channels the best parts of Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan without becoming too adult, and Weapons Factory takes a hard look at the master-padawan relationship between Ahsoka and Anakin, in a way that is strongly reminiscent of some scenes we have seen recently in Ahsoka's own show. Let's jump in!

A surprisingly decent episode that feels like the first real attempt at fleshing out Anakin and Padme's relationship in the Clone Wars, and also serves as a bridge to the Geonosis arc. We were surprised to learn that this episode was actually referencing a Hitchcock movie, Notorious, from 1946, which helps to explain why the story ends so strongly. Let's jump in!

The chronological watch through provides us with a big bonus early in the second season, with a Seven Samurai tribute episode immediately followed by a Godzilla/King Kong arc with the Zillo Beast episodes. These episodes are some of our early favorites, and we have a blast revisiting them. Let's jump in!
