Cole and Victor welcome back Shaun to talk Andor chapters 2 & 3! We check in with Shaun on the state of Disney Star Wars at the end of 2022 before a wide ranging discussion covering weird walkers, diegetic scores, gatekeeping lingo, talkative propulsion specialists, Imperial arrogance and a whole heck of a lot more. 

Cole and Victor are back in the saddle with a mug full of revnog to review the pilot episode of Disney's new Star Wars series "Andor". Topics of conversation include: Cole getting married, Andor's charming a-hole status, Richard Karn, Phil Tippett, suspisciously familiar props and more!

Cole and Victor re-unite again to discuss Chapters 3 and 4 of "The Book of Boba Fett". 

Cole and Victor re-unite at long last to cover the latest excursion into Disney's "Expanded Universe" after watching the first two episodes of "The Book of Boba Fett". Join our hosts as they ponder the correct pronunciation of "gaderffii", Temuera Morrison's acting chops and the joys of pulp storytelling. 

Victor recounts the tale of how a switch in publisher brought about the first death of a major Star Wars character in the Expanded Universe. Why did they do Chewie dirty? The answers are revealed within!

Chris Higgins from the Star Wars Loose Canon podcast (https://www.starwarsloosecanon.com/) sits down with our co-hosts to recap the first 10 years of Star Wars and answer the question "What killed Star Wars?" Was it a conspiracy, or just George shooting himself in the foot? We dig in for answers. 

Victor returns with Part II of his drunken retelling of how we got to now in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Picking up from last episode, our host gets sloppy as he spins the yarn of how the "Adventure in Multimedia" that was Shadows of the Empire came to be. In this stunning tale of cross-medium synchronization, Lucy Wilson at LucasBooks and Tom Dupree at Bantam Spectra worked with creatives from an array of disciplines to tell a single story across multiple channels. It wasn't easy, of course. From characterization battles between artists, to having to develop a video game for a console you don't even have, the road to victory was rife with obstacles. How did they get it all done? You'll just have to listen and find out...

Cole and Victor give the E-E-E-Ewoks a try and watch the first three episodes of their mid-80s ABC comedy special. Join Wicket and the gang as we play “Throw the Sack”, decipher titty/scrotum hieroglyphics and spray the Ewok Wealthy Dowager with fire extinguisher foam.

Cole, Victor and guest Lauren watch the first arc of 1985's Saturday morning ABC cartoon, "Droids". Watch along with the link below or listen to the commentary by itself. In the episodes watched, C-3PO gets pupils and proves himself a master power bottom, while R2-D2 screams his head off and repeatedly tips over. Droids is a world where you always wear a seat belt and there are never guns, ever, and even gangsters have unloving fathers. If you're ready for the surprisingly well-animated hijinks of everyone's favorite droids, this episode is for you. Watch along: bit.ly/droids-playlist

Cole and Victor sit down to watch the 1984 made-for-TV movie "Caravan of Courage: an Ewok Adventure". Topics of conversations include: Ewok sex noises, the canon status of the "Gorax", nuclear hot takes about "Indiana Jones", Three Stoogian antics, Warwick Davis' master acting, the disturbing nature of Ewok teeth, the history of the name "Mace" in Star Wars, the existence of Earth animals on Endor, and how this whole thing feels like a National Geographic documentary. Enjoy the episode as a standalone or watch it as a commentary with the movie with our stream at: bit.ly/caravan-of-courage
