The Knights of Ren are possibly the most intimidating group of individuals to ever be incorporated into a major Star Wars film without ever really being explained or explored. Want to learn the story behind these 'ghouls'? Well dial your holocomm into this week's episode and find out everything you ever wanted to know about this group that was chaos incarnate in service to the shadow.

Perhaps one of the most striking and imposing characters to ever grace the Star Wars galaxy, Maul's appearance within the films was cut short and left many fans wanting more. Fortunately, Maul's story didn't end with his torso tumbling down that reactor shaft on Naboo. Step into the Jedi Temple Archives and find out the full story behind the Zabrak whose hatred for a single Jedi defied death itself! Part 1 of our story will give you all the backstory you need to be fully prepared for The Clone Wars: Season 7, without spoiling any of the story yet to come.

The Jedi Temple Archives Podcast is honored to have special guest James McDonald from the University of Coruscant Podcast along this week to talk about his totally unique take on a Star Wars podcast and to brave the Jedi Trials. We then dive into a completely improv discussion with his alter-ego Dr. Sunny Ravencourt as he enters the Archives to explore the storied past of Jedi Temples both old and new. From ziggurats to decahedrons, we leave no crappy pyramid unturned!

Our transmission this week features a lone podcaster on the outer edges of the galaxy that has teamed up with Charles and Pat from the ConverSWations podcast to break down and review The Mandalorian: Season 1. From fledgling Mythrols hunting down the closest vac tube to the pop culture phenomenon that was The Child...we cover it all. Want to weigh in with YOUR favorite moments? Drop us a line on social media @JTAPodcast, an email, or leave us a voicemail at (201)746-5827 (JTAP) and we may play your clip on an upcoming episode!

It's not easy living with a price on your head...especially when there are Mandalorians in the galaxy that will bring you in warm...or they'll bring you in cold. From their iconic armor and helms to the dazzling array of devices they have at their disposal to capture any prey...even Jedi...Mandalorians have long been revered in the galaxy as much as they were feared. Join us this week as we peel back the mystique of these cunning warriors, and the Star Wars fans of the Mandalorian Mercenaries that cosplay as them to benefit both their communities as well as the next generation of foundlings that will carry on their traditions. Thanks to Tra'cor Clan of Michigan and Casie Steinhart, who joined me to talk about this amazing organization and how YOU can be a part of it!

Also, special thanks to our sponsor, Casey Lucas of Lucas Family Travel, who himself is a member of the Mandalorian Mercs and to our Patreon supporter Tony of the Disney Discussions Podcast!
