Force Toast: A Star Wars Happy Hour

Listen. Everyone pees in Star Wars… we presume. Or at least two dudes do, anyway. 

In Episode 87, hosts Alyce and Laura attempt* (kind of) to learn the names of the characters in Andor now that we’re halfway through the first season. Better late than never, right? No? Well, in other Star Wars news:

• Reminiscing about the good ol’ days when we used to get reviews on Apple Podcasts. Hey, maybe you can help us out by leaving us a review here? Help others find our show!
• Tales of the Jedi has a new poster and we could not be more excited to get Star Wars content that.. uh.. isn’t Andor… sorry
• Clone Wars flashbacks in the Ahsoka series? You son of a bitch, we’re in! 
• Ahsoka series casting rumors are flying about and we are intrigued! 
• No one is demanding Christian Bale play Grand Admiral Thrawn. Stop this nonsense. 
• We ARE demanding all the Skarsgårds be in Star Wars. All 57 of them. 
• There was a lot of publishing news that came out of NYCC (check out the coverage by Friends of the Force), but we mostly care about Delilah Dawson!!! Writing a new Star Wars book!!! YAY!!!
• Behold, in this blessed holiday season, the Tamagotchi returns! Cut to us in February when we will be proud parents of no less than 3 Tamagotchi Baby Grogu’s each. No regrets.
• Recap on Tap! Phase 2 of The High Republic is here and guess what? Alyce hasn’t finished Path of Deceit yet. So Laura shares some brief, non-spoilery thoughts.
• Quick recap on Episode 5 of Andor then we dive into our recap and review of Episode 6!
• Are the trivia questions getting harder or are we getting worse at this?

Grab your c+nt mug, listeners! We’re ushering in Q4 the only way we know how: by consuming alcohol while we talk about Star Wars.

In Episode 86, hosts Alyce and Laura discuss* what podcasts other podcasters listen to while podcasting podcasts, among other topics:

• James Earl Jones is off to enjoy a well-earned retirement from voice acting and we salute him for it.
• Some interesting insight into how sh-t went down on the set of Rogue One (via The Guardian)
• The secret life of Mon Mothma that wasn’t really secret but was just secret from Star Wars fans and anyone who doesn’t read Vanity Fair (via Vanity Fair)
• Andor episodes 1-4 is what’s on tap in this week’s Recap on Tap
• There may come a day where we are able to see what makes “Andor” so appealing to everyone. Today is not that day.

Who’s touching down in London town in April?? Raise your hand! We can’t see you - it’s a podcast after all - but we love the enthusiasm! 

In Episode 79, hosts Alyce and Laura have* one big KENOBI WATCH and catch up on Parts I, II and III of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+. Suffice to say, we are head over heels.

Laura shares some highlights from Star Wars Celebration Anaheim. She basically shat her pants at the Mando+ panel when they showed the Ahsoka footage. RIP anyone who was sitting nearby. 

Then it’s on to BAE WATCH! It’s here! Finally! And oh no, wait, now it’s halfway over! Why?! F-ck. Well we’re still gonna live it up. In Recap on Tap, Alyce loves Bae (Ewan McGregor) and Laura loves Reva so it’s basically one big love session as we recap and review Parts I, II and III of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Do we have our nits? Of course, we’re Star Wars fans after all. But overall we are both really enjoying it and we had a lot of fun breaking down the first three episodes.

And that’s all we’ve got for this one! We’ll be back with more news and Kenobi Parts IV and V in two weeks!
