In Episode 147, hosts Alyce and Laura bid* 2025 adieu, sum up their silly holiday seasons and dive into all the Ahsoka action in a recap of episode 4!

• Alyce returns to her local avant-garde theater and it was full of chaos! And waffles!
• Analyzing and reviewing the many iterations of The Grinch
• We finally learn what exactly the K-pop Demon Hunters are. They’re on the Netflix. 
• Ahsoka Season 2? We don’t know her. Or her release date. Or anything. (via The Direct)
• A word-salad, non-update (nupdate?) on the Rey movie (via Collider)
• Vidya gamez newz and an Old Republic update all in one! Also we learn what a “mood piece” (aka, not a trailer?) is. (via Gamespot)
• An actual real update on Star Wars: Starfighter!
• In Recap on Tap, we’re back with more Ahsoka Again! We’ve reached Part 4: Fallen Jedi, and things are really picking up! And by “picking up” of course we’re referring to that scene where Baylan picks up Ahsoka and throws her off a cliff. 
• You know that song from Dirty Dancing, She’s Like the Wind? That’s how we think of Marrok in Ahsoka. Except he’s more like a fart than the wind. Someone should re-work that song for Marrok and call it He’s Like a Fart.

In Episode 146, hosts Alyce and Laura find a few Star Wars news breadcrumbs and discuss* all the things they don’t remember about the Ahsoka series (it’s a lot of things).

• Thanksgiving rewiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind
• We never really thought about it, but it turns out The Volume technology isn’t exclusive to Star Wars
• Hot take: Star Wars: Starfighter will be as well received or better received by general audiences as Attack of the Clones
• “One of us! One of us!” is what was going through our heads as we read Henry Gilroy’s recent comments about Sabine’s Jedi turn in the Ahsoka series (via SWNN)
• Likely not news, but it’s news to us: there are 2 new Star Wars books coming out next year
• Shawn Levy lets us all know that he’s still having fun making his Star War and hasn’t quit the movie (via Vanity Fair)
• Recap on Tap: Ahsoka Again! We’re back for Part 3: Time to Filler, I mean, Time to Fly! We discuss the highs and lows, what worked and what didn’t, live-action Jacen, Hera losing her cool, squabbles with senators, space walks, space whales and more!
• Wait, was Qui-Gon Jinn a racist boomer?

• Please be advised: temporary tattoos should not go on your face
• Ho phase and college days! Alyce had the best group Halloween costume back in the day.

• Pour one out for Star Wars Insider magazine (via starwars.com)
• In this episode’s Recap on Tap: Ahsoka Again, we revisit Ahsoka Season 1, Part 2: Toil and Trouble. “Dark Jedi” are a thing according to AI, Hera gets messy, human women in Star Wars prove enormously talented at surviving stab wounds, and Sabine is Mary Poppins, y’all!

In Episode 144, hosts Alyce and Laura are* feeling excited about Star Wars for the first time in a while! 

• TV Talk. Everything is cancelled. The end. 
• Welcome back to The Puddin’ Pod. The podcast about pudding. 
• Update: The Puddin’ Pod has also been cancelled now. 
• Some hints about how much Rotta the Hutt we can expect in “The Mandalorian and Grogu” film
• Meg Dowell’s spoiler-free review of Star Wars: The Last Order may convince Laura to start reading again.
• Tbh the most surprising thing about Adam Driver developing a whole a-- Star Wars movie is that it somehow never leaked. Seriously, how? (Variety via AP)
• Don’t we all want a soundtrack to our life? Isn’t that a universal desire? Apparently not…
• Somewhere, maybe from a rocket in outer space, George Lucas is fuming about Disney capitalizing on the Holiday Special.
• Step aside, Recap on Tap! We’ve got a new segment: Ahsoka Again! In ou visit, recap and review an episode of season one of the Ahsoka series. There will be spoilers for all of Season 1 of Ahsoka in each episode recap.
• In our first Ahsoka Again segment, join us as we revisit ep 1x1: Master and Apprentice, wherein Ahsoka can’t handle spheres, autocorrect can’t handle “Baylan,” Alyce finds a parallel, Laura is in a bubble and everyone can be related! 

Later, Bo!

In Episode 143, hosts Alyce and Laura dig* deep to find Star Wars and Star Wars-adjacent news to discuss… outside of the Mando trailer, clearly we gotta get into that.

• Did you know Alyce is a low-key profesh cake decorator?
• They haven't even started making Space Balls 2 yet and they’re already spoofing The Force Awakens
• In a shameless effort to distract us from the Jimmy Kimmel firing fiasco (before it all got resolved), Disney dropped a trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu. 
• Are Star Wars fans reading too deep into this picture from the Ahsoka season 2 set? No way, Star Wars fans have never done that…
• Filming has officially wrapped on season 2 of the Ahsoka series (via SWNN)
• Bryce Dallas Howard discusses directing in Star Wars and why she keeps coming back (People via SWNN)  
• Remember when they canonized snow cones in Star Wars? 
• TV Tangent Corner
• Kiera Knightley is down for more Sabé stories, but the sequel trilogy era may not be the best option… (via Screenrant)
• Coincidence or conspiracy? Sabé isn’t the only former handmaid who recently discussed the possibility of returning to a galaxy far, far away! (HappySadConfused podcast via Jedi News) 

Good shot, baby!

In Episode 142, hosts Alyce and Laura find* a possible new career path for Alyce: Star Wars movie prop auction item appraiser… or fortune teller. It’s between those two options.

• Anyone else loving Foxy Knoxy on Hulu?
• Prop Watch is over (for now)! One of us guessed almost exactly right and the other one… did not
• Why do we keep forgetting that Maul: Shadow Lord is going to be a thing? 
• The people yearn for more Hondo Ohnaka (via The Direct)
• Oscar Isaac may be on the hunt for a new/another house (via GamesRadar, this Deadline article also mentioned)
• We probably should have listened to the podcast to get the full context, but this recent interview with a certain SW showrunner is… confusing (via GamesRadar)
• Today’s segment of Star Wars Capitalism is here to deck the halls of your hopefully-high ceiling household this holiday season
• Sebulba lives! A brief overview of the Dug species. Because why not?
• Alyce learns what a meta quest is! Laura misses The Void VR experience! But maybe this Beyond Victory thing will scratch that itch?

In Episode 141, hosts Alyce and Laura demand* justice for Luke’s cancelled Tosche Station plans. Those power converters aren’t going to pick up themselves!

• Beware, movie prop auction houses have hidden fees for those buying $2 million lightsabers. Rich people - they’re just like us!
• If an Allen Wrench is good enough for film-grade lightsabers, it’s good enough for your Ikea bookshelf.
• I guess we can finally be confident that Star Wars: Starfighter will actually get made (I mean, it has a cast and everything now).
• Auntie Alyce, The Elder: Mullet Expert
• Ah yes, the classic villain in Ahsoka season 1: Babylon. Babylon Skull will return in S2. That was definitely his name.
• Speaking of, should we do an Ahsoka S1 re-watch? We’re thinking we should do an Ahsoka S1 re-watch. 
• Some folks have seen a sneak peak of season 3 of Star Wars Visions and we particularly enjoyed this review of what was shown at Anime NYC.
• No more streaming series for you! Now it’s just trilogies on trilogies. 
• Thanks to Sal of Rogue Rebels for the Throwback to Celebration 2016!

In Episode 140, hosts Alyce and Laura and the set of Attack of the Clones may have* accidently created a new superhero: Super Pipe Cart Man!

• Matt Smith is joining the Dark Side of the Star Wars universe! Hey, haven’t we heard that story before? (Deadline exclusive)
• More Lego Star Wars silliness is on the way! Check out the trailer!
• First came the Mando-verse, now we’re [allegedly] getting a Rey-verse? 
• Some new reveals about the original cut of Rogue One, courtesy of Alan Tudyk
• The internet is just a big game of Telephone, which is essentially why some people thought Obi-Wan was going to show up in Ahsoka… or is he?
• No, but really. What would actually happen if an actor spilled the spoiler tea about an upcoming project? 
• Ron Howard is not here to start drama (unlike SOME people we know)
• Imagine being so good at your job, they have to use movie magic to slow you down (via Collider)
• Laura can’t decide if she’s more embarrassed for Disney or GC with this lawsuit settlement. Fortunately, Alyce has a casting solution.
• You gotta be Rich Rich (one Rich isn’t enough) to get this Death Star LEGO set that is allegedly coming soon.

In Episode 139, hosts Alyce and Laura forgot* what happened in Ahsoka, and Keeve Trennis is all up in her feelings.

• The History of the Mandela Effect and how it relates to Star Wars (via GoodHousekeeping)
• In a follow up to last week’s episode, more about the award-winning dog balls
• Prop Watch! Prop auctions are interesting to us. So we’re gonna talk about it. (via Yahoo)
• Star Wars’ 50th anniversary is coming up… in two years. But Disney wants you to mark your calendar now to make sure you have no conflicts, I guess?
• Maul looks like Maul and live-action Ezra had a shower (via IGN) 
• Hopefully everyone who attended the publishing panel at SDCC had fun, but it seemed like the news was uh…. slim pickins.
• Sounds like George Lucas’ museum is gonna be cool as hell (via IGN)
• Movie rumor roundup! Is the guy from Not Another Teen Movie gonna be in Star Wars? Where are things with the Rey movie? 
• More Hayden in S2 of Ahsoka, or is everyone reaching? 
• If anyone at Hulu asks, Alyce lives in a giant mansion.
• Everything comes full circle with movie ratings
• Recap on Tap: The High Republic goes out with an emotionally-muted bang in the comic, The Beacon. This discussion includes SPOILERS for the comic AND spoilers for Trials of the Jedi. Skip 35:40-46:35 to avoid. Plus, Alyce’s initial, spoiler-free thoughts on The Acolyte: Wayseeker.

Listen, b\tch! It’s a podcast! 

In Episode138, hosts Alyce and Laura enter* neuter territory. No, that’s not a typo. Some dude is making a bunch of money off of fake animal testicles. 

• There’s another Star Wars prop auction coming up. Will this one flop too? 
• SDCC is coming up and you know what that means! New Star Wars action figures and exclusives. Also George Lucas is going to be on a panel at Comic-Con? 
• Ugh, another one (three?) bites the dust. (via Rolling Stone) 
• Andor got a bunch of Emmy nominations! And not to be forgotten if it was kind of just a footnote/afterthought in this article, The Acolyte got one too.
• This week, Alyce is the one that can’t read good. There must always be one host that can’t read good but can do other things good. 
• Reylo Rising! Shippers, rejoice, your favorite fan fic is becoming a movie!
• All buff dudes look the same. 
• The new Superman, like the old Superman, is a giant nerd. One of us! One of us!
• The BD-1 droids at Galaxy’s Edge are the cutest d*mn things we’ve ever seen

• Up until now, we’ve only scratched the surface on The High Republic: Trials of the Jedi, but now we are entering spoiler territory! Alyce finished the book so let’s dive deeper
