Happy whatever day you're listening to this episode; we hope you're ready to be extremely sad and relive (in our opinion) some of the best Star Wars media, period.

That's right. We're doing it. We're covering the 4-part series finale of The Clone Wars—"Old Friends Not Forgotten," "Phantom Apprentice," "Shattered," and "Victory and Death." This arc is so pivotal in Ahsoka's character development, and is required re-watching as we prep for her series. Join us!

We've reached the end of our journey covering Visions Volume 2 and boy did we pick a doozy to go out on. We're joined by the endlessly creative and talented Stik Braxton to discuss Episode 7 "The Bandits of Golak" and Episode 8 "The Pit."

We also talk to Stik about some of his creative endeavors, including his incredible collection of poems inspired by his (and our) favorite anime of all time - "Easy Come, Easy Go: A Poetic Companion to Cowboy Bebop"

Whoa that's a long timestamp! But don't worry, there's a LOT to discuss because this week, we were graced by the presences of an absolute television EXPERT -- host of Gimmicks podcast, Walloping Websnappers, and Falling with Style, and one of our absolute BEST buds in the entire galaxy Derek B. Gayle! Derek helped us break down two absolutely exquisite episodes of Visions Season 2 -- "The Spy Dancer" from Studio La Cachette (Primal, La College Noir) and "Aau's Song" from Triggerfish (Adventures in Zambezia, Seal Team).

It's a very special episode featuring a couple of very special guests! Doug and Katie from the Novel Gaming Podcast stopped by talk about Studio Aardman's ("Wallace and Gromit," "Chicken Run," etc.) "I Am Your Mother" and Studio Mir's ("The Legend of Korra," "Lookism") "Journey to the Dark Head." Two very different, but equally excellent entries in Visions Volume 2!

We're joined for a second time by our good friend Harrison to break down Episodes 2 & 3 of Star Wars Visions Season 2. Cartoon Saloon brings Celtic folklore and Irish history to a galaxy far far away with "Screecher's Reach." Then, we discuss PunkRobot's "In the Stars," a gripping and emotional tale about two sisters, the last of their people, and their fight against the Empire.

We're BACK! And more importantly, Star Wars Visions is back with Volume 2! We're kicking things off by discussing the absolutely delightful "Sith" by El Guiri Studios. Written and directed by Rodrigo Blaas (Trollhunters, Ozi - Voice of the Forest), "Sith" explores the Force and confronting your past through passion, painting, and abstract art. In a word, it's wonderful. We hope you'll listen in.

That's it! We've arrived at the end of our journey as we revisit Star Wars: Visions Season 1. First, we discuss Episode 9, Akakiri which ended up at the TOP of both of our rankings. We loved every second of this episode, from the animation, to the music, to Kamahachi and Senshuu.

And speaking of rankings, we both pick our top 3 favorite episodes and talk about the series overall. It's safe to say we're both fans!

We're nearing the end of our journey as we revisit Star Wars Visions Season 1! This week, it's the penultimate episode of the series: Episode 8 - Lop & Ochō! While the episode had it's merits, we ultimately felt like it fell a bit short of some of the other gems the series gave us.
