Growing Up Skywalker

Join us for the inaugural Cool Hat Tuesday, featuring Cad Bane’s excellent fedora. This arc has everything: Anakin/Obi-Wan banter, child-stealers, countless heists, and even a glorious Kit Fisto cameo.

Want more Skywalker? Tune into our new series, “Spice Run!” This unedited, no-holds-barred series is a Patreon exclusive for the most dedicated of Outer Rim smugglers. New shorts launch every Thursday. We’re also airing “Sam’s Naval History Minute” for all the people who look up when a plane flies by.

Watching along with us? Next week, we’re continuing our disreputable streak with “Bounty Hunters,” Season 2, Episode 17.

As we approach 20 episodes, we’re taking a look back at how far we’ve come. Sam and Anna cover The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and all of season one of The Clone Wars in our “Season 1” retrospective. Plus, we include snippets of the thoughts and opinions you sent in for this episode, and sit down for a discussion with our listener Chris, who was inspired to watch The Clone Wars for the first time.

In this episode: choosing between Phantom and Attack of the Clones, favorite one-hit wonder heroes and villains, and changing hearts and minds about one Jar-Jar Binks.

Life imitates art (or art imitates life??) in the Ryloth Arc, where a war-torn country is ravaged by hostile non-governmental actors. (Yikes.) On a brighter note, Sam and Anna discuss the Peak Dad-akin energy in this arc, clone snugs, what women really want, and Mace Motherf****** Windu.

Next week we’ve got a fun surprise for you: a retrospective of the episodes we’ve watched so far! We’re covering The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Season 1 of The Clone Wars. Plus, we’re featuring all the thoughts, questions and notes you’ve sent in. See you Tuesday!

Hold onto your plague helmets, folks, because the Blue Shadow Virus arc has everything: Star Wars COVID, a precocious mechanic child, Darth Jar-Jar, Action Padme, tiny murder robot jump-scares, a nefarious Nazi plague scientist and literally the most handsome Obi-Wan yet.

Watching along with us? Next week, we’re watching the FINAL ARC of Season 1 of The Clone Wars: Episodes 19-21, “Storm Over Ryloth,” “Innocents of Ryloth” and “Liberty on Ryloth.” Send us your thoughts and questions!

In Anna’s favorite episode of The Clone Wars so far, Sam refuses to say someone died like a b**** (but REALLY wants to). Winter fashion is all the rage on Orto Plutonia, and we find out Anakin and Obi-Wan look exceptional in balaclavas. Also, we have confirmation that the Star Wars universe has a maximum age for senators (16) and it’s...kind of working out for them.

Watching along with us? Next week, we’re watching Season 1, Episodes 17-18, “Blue Shadow Virus” and “Mystery of a Thousand Moons.”

Sam and Anna dive deep into the politics of pacifism in a recap of the Anakin Injured arc (Season 1, Episode 13-14) and long for the simplicity of life as a Lurmen. Place your bets on who loves Aayla Secura more. Also, a Bae Watch mega-surprise! Plus, a shoutout for all our intergalactic realtor friends - help us find a planet to colonize, we beg you.

Tune into our new Patreon-exclusive series, “Spice Run.” We’re also releasing an unedited, un-cut, full-length version of this episode for ALL patreon subscribers (aka, the Zack Snyder's Justice League version.)

Watching along with us? Next week, we’re watching Season 1, Episode 15, "Trespass."

Shenanigans ensue in the Count Dooku Captured arc (Season 1, Episodes 11-12) and “disreputable” is the word of the day. Dooku might have racked up the second highest kill count of the episode (behind the one and only Jar-Jar Binks) but Obi-Wan’s banter slays. Come for the cutting insults and stay for the cutting insults!

Watching along with us? Next week, we’re watching Season 1, Episodes 13-14, “Jedi Crash” and “Defenders of Peace.”

In our recap of the Nute Gunray Captured Arc (The Clone Wars Season 1, Episodes 8-10), Anna creates the Cult of Jedi Master Jar-Jar. Despicable wealth worms ruin our day, Ahsoka learns no valuable lessons, and we would like to formally apologize to all Chads, everywhere.

Watching along with us? Next week, we’re watching Season 1, Episodes 11-12, “Dooku Captured” and “The Gungan General.”

In our recap of The Clone Wars Episodes 6-7, we see the greatest betrayal in Star Wars history. (Well, second greatest.) Anakin anthropomorphizes his favorite toolkit, we’re marching for droid rights, and Obi-Wan has HAD IT. And, we are just as surprised as you are to be discussing fart jokes in Star Wars. Tune in to see the fate of the Republic once again resting on one 14-year-old’s shoulders!

Watching along with us? Next week, we’re watching Season 1, Episodes 8-10: “Bombad Jedi,” “Cloak of Darkness” and “Lair of Grievous.” See you Tuesday!

Party at Domino House! In our recap of the standalone episode “Rookies,” we reunite with Domino Squad...just in time to see them fall. On the plus side, Rex is making barbecued eel for dinner (and we’re pretty sure he won the genetic lottery.)

Watching along with us? Next week, we’re watching Season 1, Episodes 6-7: “Downfall of a Droid” and “Duel of the Droids.” See you Tuesday!
