We're continuing our journey through Season 1 of The Bad Batch with episodes 2 and 3, "Cut and Run" and "Replacements." "Cut and Run" reintroduces a familiar (very familiar!) face and new problems. "Replacements" gives us a deeper look at the Empire's plans, the Kaminoans looking for a contingency to being replaced, and Crosshair caught in the, well, crosshair!

The Marauder is all loaded up, which means it's time to blast off through Season 1 of The Bad Batch! We're kicking things off with a dive-deep into the extra-long premiere, "Aftermath," which gives us our first look at the boys navigating through the fallout of Order 66. We get a glimpse of some familiar faces and hear some familiar voices (...for better and worse) as the team, along with new member Omega, wrestles with life in the brand-new Galactic Empire. Truly the series doesn't get as much love as we think it deserves - it's definitely worth a watch!

In our Beyond the Outer Rim section, we discusus Katie from Calla Cove featuring Cassie's Tatooine-inspired Animal Crossing Island!

We're wrapping up the surprisingly emotional 4-part opening of The Clone Wars Season 7 and diving into Episode 3 and 4 "On The Wings of Keeradaks" and "Unfinished Business". These two episodes are a great conclusion to a really powerful arc, and they set the stage for an amazing spin-off in The Bad Batch.

In our Beyond the Outer Rim section, we talked about a few games Tommy's jamming on. Be sure to check out Stray and Eyes in The Dark if you haven't! Also, Cass's Star Wars inspired Animal Crossing Island is uploaded as a dream! You can find out how to visit here: https://www.instagram.com/cassiscrossing/

We're taking a quick pit-stop to top of the tank of the X-Wing with a bit of The Clone Wars before we depart for THE BAD BATCH. That's right, Season 2 of the Bad Batch premieres September 28, 2022 and we thought we'd do a little rewatch of Season 1 before the premiere.

Also, as we talked about in our Beyond the Outer Rim segment, Cass is building a Tatooine inspired island in Animal Crossing! You can follow along the progress over on their Animal Crossing Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/cassiscrossing/

It's the conclusion of our discussion of the Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series! We're talking Parts V and VI and even TYPING the description gives us goosebumps. We're discussing Reva's arc (which we adored), Leia's arc (which we adored), and of course, the final fight (which made us tear up.)

We're back. We're loving the show. We ain't loving the discourse. 

We start off discussing some of the online "discussion" around Obi-Wan Kenobi and how racists and misogynists don't belong in the Star Wars fandom (BYE, Y'ALL!). We then talk about some of the scrutiny the show has come under, which neither of us are really all that sure we understand?

We've finally arrived at our destination! Obi-Wan Kenobi is HERE! And we've got a LONG episode today to discuss everything about the first two episodes of the show, including how the series changed along the way. 

If you're obsessed with young Luke and Leia, The Inquisitors, Reva, Haja, and all the incredible, emotional action we've gotten so far, then you've come to the right place.

It's the conclusion of our "Hyperspace Route to #ObiWanKenobi! It's hard to believe we're just over a week away from the release of the new show. But first, we have business to attend to, and that's not only concluding our Obi-Wan centric series but also concluding the "Undercover Obi-Wan" arc! That's right, we're taking on Season 4, Episodes 17 & 18 "The Box" and "Crisis on Naboo."

After a brief delay...we're back! And we're covering another of our FAVORITE arcs in the Clone Wars - the Undercover Obi-Wan Arc! We're looking at the first two episodes of this four-part series this week - Season 4, Episodes 15 & 16, "Deception" and "Friends and Enemies".

"Deception" sees the Jedi Council start down a dark path, faking Obi-Wan's murder in order to uncover a plot to assassinate Chancellor Palpatine, tricking Anakin, Ahsoka, and the rest of the world into believing he's truly dead all the while. We see Anakin struggle with his emotions as the council keeps up the ruse. And we get some great returning characters, including Cad Bane along with appearances of young Boba Fett and Bossk.
