Lattes With Leia

The end of Lattes with Leia is here. We've loved talking about Star Wars with all of you. In our last episode we look back at our favorite topics and look ahead to Star Wars we can't wait for.

Drea watched The Clone Wars over the summer so we look back on the series and discuss the final season. Also we have some important news...

Star Wars, after all, is about dismantling oppression. But where do BIPOC fans fit in the SW narrative? As Latinx and Black female fans, how do we center ourselves in this story? We discuss our passionate but tense relationship with the fandom and fiction. We also discuss how we can map our identities onto ones that are central to the story, even if they don't look like us. Guests include podcasters Sistas with Sabers.

Actor, host, and Star Wars crafter Jennifer Landa joins Drea to talk about how she keeps her family, especially her young children, in high spirits through Star Wars.

Let's talk about ships in Star Wars, as in shipping. In the latest Lattes with Leia, we discuss why shipping is important and our favorite Star Wars ships.

Star Wars and theme parks. The newest Lattes with Leia is about how Star Wars has been connected to Disney parks, our favorite theme park memories, Galaxy’s Edge, and more.

Baby Yoda mania! We discuss our thoughts on The Mandalorian and the Child and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Podracing, holochess, starship racing - the Star Wars galaxy has lots of sporting events. We discuss how sports fit into Star Wars and the sense of community and fulfillment they can bring.

Star Wars meets Halloween in Tales from Vader’s Castle. To celebrate the spooky season, we discuss how this comic explores fear, horror, and even the power of storytelling.

Jobs in the Star Wars universe. What kind of occupations do we see? How do Star Wars characters grapple with occupational identities? How about work-life balance? In this episode of Lattes with Leia we go into the working side of the galaxy, including what jobs we’d most like to have.
