Force Toast: A Star Wars Happy Hour episodes

March 24Ep 152: About a Beaver
In Episode 152, hosts Alyce and Laura learn* valuable lessons about 90s Nickelodeon theme songs and where the f-ck Tosche Station is!
If there is one thing you take away from this podcast, it’s that you are supposed to watch all 39 hours of Daredevil before you watch Born Again.

Will Alyce’s prediction/dream that Taylor Swift be cast as the voice of Grogu ever come true? Here’s an update… (Gizmodo via Variety)

Remember in our last episode when we asked, hey whatever happened to that one trilogy? From our lips to Penguin Random House’s ears. Check out this article and the official synopsis for Reign of the Empire: Edge of the Abyss here.

What TIME is it? Show time (show time), show time (show time)! Thanks, 2016 Bruno Mars. Speaking of time, they make mid-bougie Mando watches for men and not women.

Some poor schmuck had to drill a bar into the deepest depths of the earth for our boy Adam Driver (via SWNN)

Usually we regret asking for a man to mansplain something to us, but we kinda needed someone to explain Smart Bricks to us. Fortunately GamingBible was on it.

Star Wars dropped the episode titles for Maul, but they did it on icky twitter, so here’s a link to Star Wars News Net instead. You’re welcome.

Out with the new, in the with old trilogy: Disneyland’s Oga’s gets a refresh (via WDW News Today)

March 10Ep 151: Mountain Schlong
We open on the Chimera f--kin’.
In Episode 151, hosts Alyce and Laura enjoy* one last jaunt to Peridea, complete with TOE Fighters, Rebels Season 1 Ezra and Grand Admiral Cock a Doodle Blue!
Let’s catch up with Alyce’s Marvel catch up. Catch up Inception!

Speaking of, should we add a Marvel segment to our show when Daredevil comes back? What do we call it? Marvel Manor? Marvel, May I? Marvel Mountain Schlong, perhaps…

Happy Belated Rebels Remembered Day to all who celebrated last week!

A preview of the forthcoming May issue of Empire Magazine, featuring Mando and the BABAY

Today’s lesson in filmmaking no one asked for: the black and white clappy thing used on film sets

Prediction: you won’t be able to swing a light saber without hitting someone dressed as Rotta the Hutt at the next Star Wars Celebration

Bae? Alyce’s Bae? Obi-Wan? O-Bae-Wan? He’s gonna be in Ahsoka season 2? Maybe? (via Bespin Bulletin)

Step aside, Ewan. There’s a new Bae in town! Ryan Gosling has a rule about franchises. His rule is confusing. But it’s his world and we’re just living in it.

Did “Are You Afraid of the Dark” traumatize Millennials in childhood? Revisit 90s Nickelodeon with us!

Maul has to be faster and more intense in the upcoming animated series. Also apparently he’s going to be questioning everything he believed about the Jedi. Not about Obi-Wan though, he definitely still hates that b-tch.

Recap on Tap: Our Ahsoka Again segment comes to an end as we re-watch the Season 1 finale, Part 8: The Jedi, The Witch, and the Warlord. Climb aboard the mountain where Morgan finally reveals her true badassery, Daniel aka Sabine’s Force powers show up when it really counts, Ezra makes a big leap and trooper zombies are powerless without their heads! We hope you’ve enjoyed the ride. Now enjoy the 9- to 10-month (or more) wait for Season 2.

February 24Ep 150: Probably Piett
In Episode 150, hosts Alyce and Laura celebrate* the 7th Avernersary of Force Toast (and The Mandalorian) but mostly Force Toast.
Reminiscing on 7 years of watching and reading Star Wars, doing trivs and learning mad skills, like how to do Star Wars Celebration, how to podcast and how to not drink too much when podcasting. Important life lessons!

What do Sam Elliott, sh-tty beer and football have in common? Star Wars at the Super Bowl! Mystifying, or just a small (expensive) part of a grander marketing plan? (article referenced)

Speaking of Mando - we call him Mandu now - a new MandUlorian & Grogu trailer is here! Let’s discuss!

The article that sparked a million click bait parasites did not actually say what you think it said. Calm down.

We did the math. Jon Favreau isn’t going anywhere. Take that, click bait.

Remember Rogue Squadron? The question of whether it will ever come to fruition remains… a question. (via Parade)

RIP Admiral Piett actor Kenneth Colley. Sorry DailyMail and the internet made it weird.

Recap on Tap gets dreamy and maddening in Part 7 of Ahsoka: Dreams and Madness! Hera strikes back, Baylan is Batman now, Ahsoka is scary, Morgan does not Yes And any of this, and Every. Single. Reunion on this show is underwhelming.
Thanks for being one of our 80k+ downloads! From Day 1 to Day 2,555 - however long you’ve been listening to our rambling, we really, really, really appreciate you!

February 03Ep 149: Little Oddball Truth Bomber
In Episode 149, hosts Alyce and Laura toast* to the comedic genius of Catherine O’Hara, Nightsisters inventing semaglutides, and daiquiri shacks (shaquiris? Is that anything?)
We start by discussing the atrocities taking place in Minneapolis and the U.S. at large, and how our respective areas of the country are reacting. Just in case you have any doubts of where we stand, we supported the January 30 general strike and we’re really f---ing pissed and sad about what’s happening in Minneapolis.
Laura shares an update on her other Star Wars show, The Jedi Way.
The Caravan of Corrections do be caravaning
The torch has been passed! Kathleen Kennedy steps down from Lucasfilm and it is going to take 2 people to replace her, so yes, haters tell us more about how awful she is at her job *eye roll* (check out Deadline’s exit interview with KK here)
Speaking of retirement, we have FIRE plans. Long story short, Laura will open a Shaquiri and record weird noises from a beach, and Alyce will be at Chipotle.
Formerly Darth. Now just Maul. Well, actually it’s Maul: Shadow Lord now. He’s many things - an aMAULgamation, if you will. Anyway, there’s an article and poster and trailer, oh my!
Alyce forgot about the Dave Filoni Star Wars Avengers/Heir to the Empire film lol. But there’s a new rumor that’s probably nothing, so whatever
LEGO is putting microchips in bricks now. Or maybe they’ve been doing that for a while? Don’t know, but they’re doing it with Star Wars now. CAPITALISM! (via StarWarsNewsNet)
We’re really out of the loop on whatever Galaxy of Heroes is, but if you know what those words mean, there’s an Andor update coming.
If you can get your crotch goblins to sit still for a second, maybe they can meditate with Grogu
Recap on Tap: Ahsoka Again continues! Join us for a recap and discussion of Part 6: Far, Far Away, in which we galaxy-hop only to see a bunch of the same people from the last galaxy!
Night Witches on Peridea: did they originate there or was that a bachelorette party gone wrong?
Laura’s toasting to toasting in her Toast To. Toast Inception.

January 13Ep 148: Tell Us, Steve
In Episode 148, hosts Alyce and Laura are* impatient for Starfighter, for Ahsoka and for the Mando movie. The theme of the episode is WE’RE SICK OF WAITING!
It’s the first episode of the 2,026th year of when humans started counting years
Alyce shares thoughts on the Stranger Things finale. Also she’s an influencer now. You have been influenced.
Who gives a sh-t about Tom Cruise, can we talk about how there’s gonna be lightsabers in Star Wars: Starfighter?! (NYT via Variety)
Will Season 2 of Ahsoka drop in 2026 after all?
We don’t know sh-t about Marvel anymore. We used to, but now we need someone to brief us on the last 3 years of content.
This Mando movie poster came out back in September, but we missed it then, so we’re gonna make fun of it now
There’s a new image featuring Sassy Din™ from the upcoming film, The Mandalorian and Grogu. But will the movie be worth the wait?
We’re bringing our Ahsoka Again segment into 2026 with our rewatch recap of Part 5: Shadow Warrior! Be advised this segment contains spoilers for the entire first season of Ahsoka.
Teeth and war: Ahsoka Tano’s legacy
Himbo Anakin is annoyed that everyone is still mad about him turning evil and terrorizing the galaxy for 2 decades. He just wants Ahsoka and everyone to get over it, is that too much to ask?

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.
