Krypton To Alderaan

The Batch is Back! This episode we review and analyze the first two episodes of The Bad Batch season 2! So, spoilers abound. We dive deep into the new Star Wars show, and discuss how it seems like it's already setting itself up to be different than the first season. AND we speculate somewhat wildly about potential storylines for the rest of the season. 

Let us know what you thought of the premier, and any thoughts you have on where the season could go!

This episode Royce and I revisit Andor: Hoth or Noth! But… what does that even mean??? Basically, now that Andor has concluded, what did we think?

Should Andor be compared to other Star Wars, and vice versa? Was there enough brass in the music? Has it changed what Star Wars can be? What did we think of the music?

For the Finale(!), we’re back with Scotty Holiday! We talk about the final two episodes of the season and give our thoughts and feelings on everything that transpired - and WOOF was there a lot!

Why is B2 the best boy? Was it ok to kill Maarva off-screen? Is the Fondor the COOLEST SHIP in Star Wars? We get into Episode 11: Daughter of Ferrix, even though it’s hard to talk about, anticipating the conversation about the finale! 

For Episode 12: Rix Road, we’re all going back to Ferrix! But first, we check in with Mon and Perrin and some more scheme-y happenings. What’s this all about? Was pointing the Empire’s investigation toward Perrin Mon’s idea? We also discuss Nemik’s Manifesto and the significance of Cassian listening to it out loud - not just so we all have an excuse to hear sweet little Nemik’s voice again. And we talk about what it’s like to see Tyranny break and leak during the battle of Rix Road. Are imperials as powerful as they think they are? All this AND MORE, including the most important question: is it FIGHT the Empire, or F*** the Empire???

Let us know what you thought of Andor, and who your favorite characters are and/or what your favorite moments were.

Then, we discuss the Ahsoka arc! Joey loves Ahsoka! How did that impact his view of this series??? There are big problematic elements associated with these episodes including the erasure of Queer POC characters. Joey shares his thoughts on that and you can read more about all of that here (Article by Hope Mullinax):
