In this episode, James and Joseph (who are both educators) discuss what the education system in the Star Wars universe must look like, including the Jedi Temple's bathroom policy and how the Empire could've managed to unify content standards across thousands of planets. Then, we have another edition of "Jedi Mind Tricks Don't Work on Me," where James tries to guess if inspiration quotes come from the openings of Clone Wars episodes or something else that's near and dear to our hearts.

In this episode, James tries to explain to Joseph why he finds himself watching "The Clone Wars" and cheering for Anakin to turn into Darth Vader. As you might imagine, James then tries to explain why that doesn't make him a total maniac. Then, we have another edition of "Jedi Mind Trick" where we wonder what about Star Wars history might've changed if Luke Skywalker was actually named Luke Lars.

In this episode, James wonders how all of the Clone Troopers could all have such similar voices. Then, he spends the rest of the segment trying to convince me that it isn't the dumbest question we will ever have on this podcast. After that, we introduce a new segment called "Jedi Mind Tricks Don't Work on Me," where we have to determine if pithy sayings and advice come from fortune cookies or the beginning of Clone Wars episodes.

In this episode, James and Joseph consider why the Confederacy chose to design their battledroids with their sensitive and critical "control centers" inside of artificial heads, instead of somewhere where they could be more protected in battle. Then, the debut of a new segment called the "Jedi Mind Trick" where we consider some "alternative history" in the Star Wars universe; today's question: "What if the Younglings had subdued the new Darth Vader in Episode III?"

In this episode, James and Joseph decide to see what happens if they search for their own names on Wookiepedia. The results lead us through a conversation about everything from metal tuxedos to love itself. Then, the debut of a new segment in which we search our iMessage history for a Star Wars term and read the results; today's search: "Hondo Ohnaka."

Here's a link to Hondo Ohnaka on Wookiepedia, which kind of kills two things we wanted to link to with one stone, or whatever thing makes the phrase work: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Hondo_Ohnaka

In this episode, James and Joseph get into a rabbit hole about whether or not "windows" exist in the Star Wars universe. After determining that, duh, of course they do, they discuss how they could possibly have so many different names, purposes, and even cultural values within Star Wars. Also, James is really bad at guessing things that are made of glass. #YodaLiedPeopleDied

Welcome to Destroy the Shield Generator! DTSG is a Star Wars podcast made by two friends who both love Star Wars. The only thing is that one of them is more of an expert (Joseph), and the other doesn't know what he's talking about (James). This episode is just our introduction of the podcast to you, but each regular episode will be based around candid observations or questions from James as he ventures into Star Wars content that he's never seen before.

Hosted by Joseph Jasper and James Walker.
