When 2020 began, did you ever consider that it would give you a Star Wars podcast that covers topics Hutts in hats, whether or not Galen Erso is a boob man, Beavis & Butthead impressions and birth control in Star Wars? 

The answer is no. No one could have predicted that. But here we are. 

Hosts Alyce & Laura bring* you all of this and more in Episode 38 of Force Toast! 

• What’s new in Quarantine Qorner
• The Movie Trivia Schmoedown’s Star Wars tournament continues! 
• What happened in the last 2 weeks in the Star Wars fandom
• Warning: Star Wars: Squadrons may cause controversies (and motion sickness)
• Alyce recaps the new excerpt from The High Republic: The Light of the Jedi 
• The dumbest Star Wars rumor we’ve heard in a long time
• Mark Hamill is omnipresent; important Star Wars trivia for you to share at parties
• The latest in Star Wars animation rumors courtesy of our friends at Kessel Run Transmissions
• Quarantine Qorner part two
• Our initial thoughts on Alphabet Squadron: Shadow Fall (no spoilers!)
• A voicemail from our friend Aris about burping. Okay, it’s mainly about Queen’s Peril, but burping is the most important part. There’s not much to spoil in the book as a whole and we would not consider this discussion to be spoilery, BUT if you want to go into the novel TOTALLY spoiler-free, avoid 49:35-57:30
• Seriously top notch Star Wars trivia questions from Hobbit Feet Andy

Cheers beers! It’s finally summer! And we’re toasting to our amazing community because there’s nothing sweeter than knowing our listeners AREN’T a bunch of racist bigots. 

We just love you, okay? Thanks for being you. 

Anyway, there’s not a lot of news, but hosts Alyce and Laura make* it work, bitch. Sorry, you’re not a bitch. That was mean. 

• You now know more about Star Wars: Squadrons than we did when we recorded this but we still have some maybe good guesses (?) as to what it's about.
• It’s 2020 and there’s a new point of view in town! It’s the 40th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back so IT gets a point of view and YOU get a point of view and YOU get a point of view! And a car!
• You don’t actually get a car.
• We’re talking about “Queen’s Peril” by EK Johnston and handmaiden handemonium! If you want to avoid spoilers for a book that doesn’t really spoil anything about anything, skip 20:55-53:43.
• Dope ass trivia tip from our friend Aaron.
• Star Wars trivia from our buddy Dr. Davor and our friend The Caffeinated Diabetic aka Scott! Thank you so much for saving us from using trivial pursuit cards!

As we go on...

We remember...

All the times our moms made us cry at graduation DAMMIT MOM

It’s graduation season (see what we did up there?) and hosts Alyce and Laura are graduating* from… well, nothing. So why not crack open a Coors Light, do a half victory lap and have an indoor carnival or something? 

• Some Schmodown talk
• Vocabulary lessons
• The search is on for a live action Ezra Bridger! (allegedly)
• Excerpts from Queen’s Peril and Poe Dameron: Free Fall
• The new Thrawn trilogy will be here sooner than we thought and The High Republic gets pushed to 2021
• We react and analyze Dave Filoni’s monologue on The Phantom Menace and fatherhood in Star Wars from Disney Gallery’s The Mandalorian
• Our favorite ships (not romance, like actual ships) in Star Wars
• More trivia courtesy of Allen Voivod of Star Wars 7x7 (he’s so much better at writing questions than we are)
• Do you want to help Laura study up for the next round of the tournament? We could use some help with the crawls, prequels and The Clone Wars film! Send your best Star Wars trivia questions to [email protected]

Do you have a fun graduation story? Parties, ceremonies, speeches, something inspiring, something funny? Send us a message and we’ll share it on the show!

The little sprinkle of lady power you didn’t know you needed this week! 

Or did you know you needed it? Did you actually go into this week hoping to get some sloppy, green girl power (why is it green?) dumped all over your face? Because it’s happening. 

Too much? May we offer you a dab of Essence of Hand instead? 

Either way, hosts Alyce and Laura are here* to deliver your bi-weekly dose of Star Wars and snark, garnished with a little bit of not understanding what’s going on in The Clone Wars.

• The Q&A with Dave Filoni and Daddy Star Wars himself, George Lucas
• New Star Wars series incoming from “Russian Doll” showrunner

MARSDEN WATCH

James/Scott Marsden remains at large but, rest assured, hosts Alyce and Laura are on the case*!

Are those bushes growing on your face or are you just not getting your eyebrows waxed during quarantine? If so, same. Thankfully for you all, hosts Alyce and Laura have no plans to transition this show to a video podcast. 

In Episode 32, your hosts are lingering* somewhere between boredom and madness. Origami cranes. Balloon animals. Needlepoint? TikTok?! Fortunately there’s some Star Wars stuff to keep them sane…

But who knows for how much longer? 

• Is Scott Marsden a person?
• Per Variety, the Kenobi series has a new… well, I guess we’re supposed to call him a writer? 
• Meet the Jedi Knights of the High Republic and sit around and soak up all of their completely unflawed awesomeness.
• New art, who dis? You imagined the villain from Alphabet Squadron wrong.
• Alyce made balloon animals.
• Ready to rock and ROLL OUT? Wee Baby Benny Boo Boo Solo and the blue butterflies are here for your short attention span
• Recap on Tap! The Clone Wars season 7, episodes 6 and 7 [If you’re not caught up and avoiding spoilers, skip 38:05-1:04:50]

If you’re happy and you know it and you really want to show it, if you’re happy and you know it, WASH YOUR F***ING HANDS, YA NASTIES

Does anyone else feel like you’ve lived through an apocalypse since we last recorded? No? Just us? 

Somehow hosts Alyce and Laura have managed* to survive this long, so grab a beverage and let’s all toast to our impending doom! There’s not a ton of news to cover, so in episode 31, we dive into the important things in life, like hand-washing, petty theft and our go-to Karaoke favorites. 

And yeah, there’s some Star Wars stuff in there too! 

• Rosario Dawson allegedly joins the cast of The Mandalorian in Season 2 and fans are divided
• The Rise of Skywalker digital release came out early and wants to sooth your sad, little quarantined soul with a dose of special features.
• Does The Rise of Skywalker make a better book than movie? A discussion on the novelization.
• Recap on Tap! Spoiler alerts ahead! The Rise of Kylo Ren issue #4 (spoilers from 37:00-55:30) and then it’s so long, Bad Batch! Hello, Ahsoka! The Clone Wars Season 7, episodes 4 and 5 (avoid spoilers for TCW 55:40-1:19:50).
• Then we turn to YOU to help us fill the time. Ah, the beauty of human connection. Thanks to all of our friends who wrote in! Mike (@skymauler), Dan aka F*ckface (@RomanianDrmboat), Katie (@lickle_pickle), and our good buddy Andy!
• Getting jerked off by Star Wars and all the teasing about possible live-action Ahsoka. It’s a voicemail from our friend, Maria! (@blerdgirljedi)!  
• Trivia courtesy of Andy! Laura takes on Star Wars Rebels and it’s all about Attack of the Clones for Alyce.

Bless you!
