Children of the Watch is back with a grab-bag episode covering upcoming Star Wars news reveals, the second half of The Nitnh Jedi, as well as the Season 3 Finale for House of the Dragon. It's a geeky media bonanza!

First, we discuss D23, the scheduled Star Wars panels focusing on Ahsoka Season 2, as well as any potential news, announcements, or new footage we may be seeing from Starfighter.

Then, we discuss the last four episodes of The Ninth Jedi, the Star Wars Visions spin-off series. We pick up right where we left off last week, so check that out if you haven't yet.

Then, we'll be running down the Season 3 finale for House of the Dragon, talking about the battle of Tumbleton, Ormund's demise, and so much more.

Make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss any coverage of potential trailers and announcements coming out of D23 this weekend.

The boys are back talking about some Star Wars! We discuss The Ninth Jedi, the new Star Wars Visions series debuting next month, and well as some Ahsoka D23 speculation and even some Cade Skywalker rumors from Starfighter!

Then, after checking in on a Galaxy Far, Far Away, we turn our eyes back to House of the Dragon. After being longtime fans of everything Westeros, Alex and Mac try putting their thoughts on wax as we discuss the sixth episode of Season 3: Faceless Men.

Don't worry, we are still primarily a Star Wars podcast, we just wanted to try something new as we begin the long wait for Ahsoka Season 2. That being said, this discussion may be more mature in nature than our normal Star Wars breakdowns, so listener discretion advised!

-Is the pacing running out of steam for House of the Dragon?

-How great was watching that opening scene with Criston Cole?

-Has Rhaenyra been rejected by the Iron Throne?

-Is Gwayne the only good Hightower?
