Dark Side Divas - A Star Wars Podcast

In this episode, the Divas discuss the Clone Wars episodes "Legacy of Terror" (s2e7) and "Brain Invaders" (s2e8). We kick off the episode with a discussion that causes a stir on a particular social media platform. Unlike the previous two episodes, which were based on World War 2 stories, these episodes are directly inspired by sci-fi horror movies. The divas were grossed out and horrified by what happens in these episodes. Join them as they discuss how gross brain worms are, why Obi-Wan is still horrible, and the official debut of Darth Vader. 

In this episode of Dark Side Divas, we cover The Clone Wars episodes 'Landing at Point Rain' (s2e5) and 'Weapons Factory' (s2e6). For the first time since 'Attack of the Clones,' we return to Geonosis. The planet was a giant graveyard for clones and Jedi after the first battle that started The Clone Wars, and these episodes remind us how gruesome this war is. Both of these episodes feature many amazing shots set during a battle that didn't go according to plan for the New Republic. The divas discuss both of these World War 2 inspired episodes in detail, with dark and inappropriate dark humor (of course)!

The Divas discuss The Clone Wars episode "Senate Spy" (s2e4), which is the beginning of a long story arc. The divas hilariously discuss why this episode had an uncharacteristically odd take on Padme Amidala, Jedi council pimping, and briefly discuss which Jedi is the worst lover. Sometimes our best episodes are the ones where we don't have a positive review of an episode. Join the divas as they discuss Star Wars sexism in its most "entertaining" form. 

Even Dark Lords of the Sith can make mistakes! In this podcast episode, the divas discuss The Clone Wars episodes 'The Zillo Beast' (s2e18) and 'The Zillo Beast Strikes Back' (s2e19). The Zillo Beast episodes are homages to the classic Godzilla movies. A "human" caused natural disaster along with a series of bad decisions unleashes a monster powerful enough to destroy an entire city. In this case, when the entire planet is one big city, a lot of death and destruction occurs. The divas break down these amazing episodes in another hilarious episode of Dark Side Divas. 

May the 4th be with you! This episode of Dark Side Divas covers The Clone Wars episode "Bounty Hunters" (s2e17). This episode was a homage to Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece "Seven Samurai" and discuss how the story has been replicated several times throughout the ages, including in Star Wars. Chris and Stefannie discuss the social dynamics of Obi-Wan, Ashoka, and Anakin. Hondo Ohnaka makes an appearance in this episode, and the Divas love him. Since this episode is about "bounty hunters," we discuss a slew of new characters, including which ones seem to last to the beginning of the sequel trilogy. Celebrate the best holiday of the year by listening to another episode of Dark Side Divas!

In this episode, the Divas cover three Clone Wars episodes: Holocron Heist (s2e1), Cargo of Doom (s2e2), and Children of the Force (s2e3). These are the first episodes of season 2, and the divas noted how amazing the animation is in these episodes. Before the divas jump in to discuss these episodes, we discuss the feedback we got from our Captain EO episode and then begin to discuss the sexiness of Cad Bane. We know there are other characters in these episodes, but really, this is The Cad Bane Show. The Divas also discuss how Palpatine is like a tech start-up founder, Anakin red flags (Hint: so so many), and so much more! Listen to this hilarious episode!

In this episode, the Divas take a break from Clone Wars to talk about.....Captain EO? Really?! Blame Chris for this one. When Disney purchased Lucasfilms in October 2012, it took many people by surprise, unless you are a massive fan of the Disney Theme Parks. For years Lucasfilm attractions have been a mainstay at several theme parks, and it did not catch Disney theme park fans by surprise when Disney wanted to own Star Wars. Captain EO is a story of the beginning of the relationship between George Lucas and Disney. Stefannie watches Captain EO for the first time, in real-time, on the podcast - and makes fun of it mercilessly. Join the Divas to discuss where Disney was at as a business in the early 80s, Michael Jackson and his weirdness, and robot sex. 

Another hilarious episode from the Dark Side Divas, our longest episode yet! We promise it is hilarious. In this episode we discuss Clone Wars episodes 'Storm over Ryloth' (s1e19) , 'Innocents of Ryloth' (s1e20), and 'Liberty Over Ryloth' (s1e21). These are the last episodes for season one of Clone Wars, because the season finale happens much later in the episode chronological order. The divas discuss the hypocrisy of Anakin Skywalker, the awesome-ness of Mace Windu, and Stef gushes over Obi-Wan (again). We also briefly discuss the #releasethelucascut controversy as it pertains to Rise of Skywalker. 

In this episode, the divas discuss Clone War episodes "Blue Shadow Virus" (s1e17) and "Mystery of a Thousand Moons" (s1e18). It was strange watching an episode about the Jedi struggling to contain a lethal virus during COVID, so the episode 'hit' a bit different than it has in the past. The divas do not hold back, sharing their criticisms of these episodes. Why was a Batman villain in the show? Why did the Jedi forget they have powers, and why doesn't clone trooper armor protect against microscopic organisms when it protects them in the vacuum of space? Listen to another hilarious episode of Dark Side Divas now!

In this episode, the Divas discuss The Clone Wars episode "Trespass" (s1e15). We start the episode off by talking about what Stef's life is like in Texas now that the Covid restrictions have been lifted, answer some fan questions, and then Chris goes on a rant about Benedict Cumberbach talking shit about playing Grand Admiral Thrawn. We also discuss how the setting for the episode was inspired by Hoth and art from The Empire Strikes back, the strange phallic mouths of the Talz, and so much more! Listen to another hilarious episode by the Dark Side Divas.
