This week is the first of two installments of a series we call: Get to know your hosts! To start, LeeAnn interviews Lauren with a number of questions Lauren has not seen beforehand, so her answers are off-the-cuff and both hilarious and insightful. Next week, Lauren will do the same to LeeAnn, and in the end we hope our listeners have fun and get to know their Space Twin hosts a little better! 

One of our all time favorite Clone Wars episodes is "Hunt for Ziro" where Obi-Wan Kenobi gets paired up with Quinlan Vos. The resulting snark and banter is second to none and made LeeAnn and Lauren instant fans of the roguish Jedi. In this episode, we discuss this hilarious duo, as well as the book Dark Disciple, and Quinlan's mention in the Kenobi series. We hope you enjoy!

All six episodes of "Tales of the Jedi" dropped at once, so of course we watched them all at once...but our review may NOT be what you'd expect from us (Hint: we did not like the majority of the episodes.) We'll explain why, with a few of our opinions being rather, erm...strongly-worded (Another hint: LeeAnn goes off!) At the end of the day, we love Dave Filoni, we love The Clone Wars, and we love anything that revisits the characters that we've come to know and love, but "Tales of the Jedi" missed the mark for us in many ways. Major spoilers ahead for those who have not watched all the episodes.

Andor episode 7 was emotional for both of us. Whether it was Cassian and Maarva's heartbreaking conversation, Mon Mothma's tense interactions, or the flashbacks that revealed more about Clem's fate, we were moved by the amazing performances (and the truly incredible script!). We chat about our favorite moments...and a few moments we didn't quite like. One thing is for certain, we both agree Andor is one of the best things to come out of Star Wars, and we can't wait to see what happens next!

Today we have something a little different for you. Last week LeeAnn was traveling and didn’t have time to record with me, so I dug into our archives and dusted off an interview I did with Jennie Marie Studio that I recorded about a year ago. Jennie’s made a name for herself hand painting glass candle votives. Most of them feature Star Wars scenes, but she’s also been known to do Marvel, DC, and lord of the rings. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll have seen my unboxing video of the custom commission she painted for me depicting the dark and brutal relationship between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul. It’s truly a masterpiece. Follow Jennie's instagram @jenniemariestudio

In this interview, we discuss everything from Jennie’s formal art training in Florence, to how the American school system didn’t work for our creative brains, to how her teenage love for Luke Skywalker eventually led to her current business venture painting custom votives. We had a fabulous time recording this and ended up chatting for almost 3 hours. This is a shortened version, but if you’d like to listen to the full conversation, please consider joining our Patreon where we post complete interviews, episode extras, and so much more.

This series just keeps blowing our minds. The visuals, the story-telling, the character development, and the climax of Episode 6 alone had us freaking out ONCE AGAIN, because that seems to be what Andor does to us! For what it's worth, that's the entirety of our episode this week: discussing everything we loved (and many things we questioned...like who the hell IS Uncle Harlo? And WHY did Skeen lie to all of us about his brother? DAMN HIM!) As LeeAnn said: Episode 5 was the build up. Episode 6 was the explosion....and we loved every second of it.

Anidala. Obitine. Whatever "ship" name you have for them, they're the relationship pairings we're discussing in this week's episode! We asked ourselves the question: how is Anakin and Padme's relationship similar and/or different from the relationship between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Satine Kryze? We go a bit deep into love languages, displays of affection, intense behavior (or lack thereof!), and ultimately reach a consensus on what we feel are similarities and differences between the two couples. Attachments may be forbidden to the Jedi, but *nothing* is forbidden on this podcast - so let's discuss!

We know, we know... we were supposed to talk about Obi-Wan and Satine compared to Anakin and Padme... and we will, we promise. But the fourth episode of Andor was so freaking good we couldn't resist talking about it. This show is knocking it out of the park with its script, plot, acting, cinematography, Star Wars references, symbolism, etc! Our minds are blown. Listen in to learn about the significance of the cherry blossoms, the CRAZY items in Luthan's shop, and the deliberate ways Cassian mirrors Jyn.

(MAJOR SPOILERS! Do not listen if you haven't yet watched the first three episodes of the Andor series!) With the triple episode premier of Andor, we have a lot of ground to cover in this episode! We cover all the highs and lows of each episode in the series so far, highlighting the storytelling, the character development, and the cinematography (does it get any better? Honestly?) At times we have opposing opinions on some parts of the show, but one thing is certain: we both agree that this show is unlike any other in the Star Wars live action universe thus far, and we're excited for more!

Have you ever wondered what jobs Star Wars characters would have in our world? In this episode, we speculate, theorize, and hypothesize our way through the Rogue One and A New Hope characters...and we laugh A LOT along the way! What jobs do you think Cassian Andor or Old Ben Kenobi might have on planet Earth in 2022? Tell us your ideas over on social media!
