In Episode 99, which has nothing to do with Clone Force 99 - it’s merely a coincidence, hosts Alyce and Laura dive into* some alien movie nostalgia, load some fruit onto the Caravan of Corrections and celebrate Star Wars Day/Week/Month/YEAR?!

• Alyce is influencing Laura’s TikTok FYP
• We preview the 20-page Star Wars spread in the May 11th issue of Empire Magazine and discuss the Star Wars film release schedule, Dave Filoni’s upcoming film, Skeleton Crew’s Amblin influence and Andor’s final 3 episodes
• The nostalgia of E.T and 1988’s “Mac and Me”
• Disney out here playing the fool with this writer’s strike
• Laura’s quick non-spoiler review of Star Wars: Visions Volume 2
• Some brief thoughts on Young Jedi Adventures, which in all fairness, is not targeted towards us
• Most of our Recap on Tap segment is all about The High Republic: Cataclysm WITH SPOILERS. While it’s not an in-depth full recap, we discuss the Path of the Open Hand, characters and their relationships, the fate of some of our Phase 1 favorites and the Battle of Dalna and its consequences. If you want to avoid spoilers for Cataclysm, skip 45:50-1:05:05.

Don’t be coy with us, Star Wars. 

In Episode 96, hosts Alyce and Laura sometimes need* to be beaten over the head with the point you’re trying to make. Lookin’ at you, Jon Favreau.

• Surprise! Star Wars Celebration announced the panel schedule with no warning. Check out the list!
• We have a To-Do list for the good people at Reed Pop. Item #1: Stop hosting Celebration at venues that have tiny arenas. Item #2: Keep making the badge artwork top tier. 
• Is the Ahsoka series coming out sooner than we thought?
• We as a society need to make it a priority to invent time turners. Or find a way that we can attend multiple Celebration panels at one time. Add that to the above to-do list!
• Updates on the pending Star Wars films that are… uh, scratch that - were in the works (via Variety)
• Dave Filoni did an interview with The Wrap (we liked Gizmodo’s coverage of it) about the forthcoming climactic crossover event. What big, world-changing surprise do you think will show up in the The Mando-verse climax? (lol climax) 
• Speaking of Mando-mania, look at all this super fun Mando merch!
• SO MUCH ACOLYTE NEWS YAY
• Our first glimpse at Phase 3 of The High Republic is here! Check out this excerpt from Claudia Gray’s short story, After the Fall (via ew.com)
• For the low, low price of half a million USD, you too can own this hover drone bike thingy
• THRAWN JUMP SCARE
• There’s a whole lotta Recapping On Tapping to do in this episode! Beware of SPOILERS for both The Bad Batch episodes 2x12 and 2x13 AND The Mandalorian Chapters 18 and 19.
• Speaking of The Bad Batch, check out this image of Crosshair - does he or does he not look like he has wings? Choose carefully, because the answer will determine whether or not you are a Fancy Art Person.
• Then we tie up Recap on Tap with The Mandalorian, Chapters 18 (which we LOVED) and Chapter 19 (which we did not understand).
