RECORDED JANUARY 14, 2020A lot of time and effort clearly went into constructing the storyline for Season 1 of The Mandalorian, so much so that the vast majority of mysteries set-up in the earlier run of episodes were resolved by the end of the finale.  But there's 3 big questions that remain to be addressed, some of which will likely drive the plot forward in the second season of the series.  In today's podcast, Ryan looks at those questions and offers some (most likely incorrect) educated guesses as to how they will be answered in the story.WEBSITE: http://jumptolightspeed.podbean.comE-MAIL:  [email protected]:  @Jump2Lightspeed (podcast) or @Ry_Too_D2 (me)

RECORDED JANUARY 14, 2020Relationships between fathers and their children in Star Wars have typically been portrayed as contentious and dysfunctional, with one party usually trying to kill the other.  Exceptions are there, but have never been part of the storylines.  That all changed with the debut of The Mandalorian.  In today's episode of the podcast, Ryan looks at what we can learn about being a dad from The Mandalorian's titular character, and, of course, an industrious Ugnaught.WEBSITE: http://jumptolightspeed.podbean.comE-MAIL:  [email protected]:  @Jump2Lightspeed (podcast) or @Ry_Too_D2 (me)

RECORDED JANUARY 09, 2020Today I'm continuing my week-long debrief on The Rise of Skywalker by considering the question of whether or not the Force is in balance when the credits start to roll.  I don't reach any definitive conclusions, because there are none to be made and a lot is left open for interpretation, but these are the thoughts that I had after watching Rey vs Sheev in theaters.WEBSITE: http://jumptolightspeed.podbean.comE-MAIL:  [email protected]:  @Jump2Lightspeed (podcast) or @Ry_Too_D2 (me)

RECORDED JANUARY 07, 2020This week on the podcast, I'll be discussing some of the major plot points in The Rise of Skywalker and sharing some thoughts -- be they good, bad, or otherwise. Rey as a Palpatine!  It's not something that I was hoping would happen in the story being told, and in the moment I was actually pretty irritated by this reveal.  But my stance has since softened and while its far from my favorite revelation in this trilogy, its something with which I'm ultimately fine.  In today's episode of the podcast, I walk you through my thought process, from anger, to annoyance, to acceptance.WEBSITE: http://jumptolightspeed.podbean.comE-MAIL:  [email protected]:  @Jump2Lightspeed (podcast) or @Ry_Too_D2 (me)

RECORDED JANUARY 06, 2020This week on the podcast, I'll be discussing some of the major plot points in The Rise of Skywalker and sharing some thoughts -- be they good, bad, or otherwise. The return of Emperor Palpatine.  This was something that from the first cackle reveal at Celebration I was excited for, but the execution of his return left something to be desired.  In today's episode, I explain why.I hope you come back tomorrow as I discuss the Rey-Palpatine connection!WEBSITE: http://jumptolightspeed.podbean.comE-MAIL:  [email protected]:  @Jump2Lightspeed (podcast) or @Ry_Too_D2 (me)
