Carbon Scoring

In this episode of Carbon Scoring we discuss the final half of Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith. A film that for 7 years we believed would be the very last we ever saw of the Galaxy Far, Far Away! We discuss what its like to revisit this film with fresh eyes and what its like to watch it with family who have never seen it before. The Question of the Week for this episode is "What are your thoughts on The Book of Boba Fett?" which only had 3 episodes out when this episode was recorded!!!

In this episode of Carbon Scoring your hosts Ben, Taylor, & Aaron discuss the first half of 2005's Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The guys reminisce on seeing this film in the movie theaters as well as discuss their favorite products produced outside of the film. The Question of the Week answered by the hosts in this episode is "What is your favorite 1v1 lightsaber duel?"

We took advantage of Ben being in the area to record an episode where the three of us all sat around a table with each other. We play Star Wars Trivia! Poorly... but we had so much fun together.

Our review of the second Season of the Clone Wars. We talk about our favorite clones, some (Non-spoiler) thoughts on Star Wars: Visions, politics in Star Wars, Star Wars in politics, and lots of other off topic things as we see fit.

We bit off more than we could chew when we told you we would review seasons 1 and 2 of the Clone Wars show. Join us as we review JUST season 1 of Clone Wars. We answer the question of the week about light saber combat forms and talk a little bit about our hopes and expectations of Star Wars: Visions (which hadn't come out yet when we made this).

In this episode we reference several times the website below which lists the Clone Wars episodes in a time line order. If you're considering giving Clone Wars a first watch or a hundredth watch, we recommend following this helpful guide.
