By Podlings Podcast
A Star Wars podcast hosted by your loveable super fans, PB and Bec.
After our couple of week hiatus, we're back to celebrate May 4th. Did you rewatch the trilogies in the cinema? We did, and it was awesome. Also, what are your thoughts on if they were to redo the original trilogy?...
The Phantom Menace is back! In celebration of the upcoming re-release, 25 year anniversary of TPM, we wanted to look at the OG poster design, and the new on by Matt Ferguson. Who has a really cool story by the...
John Williams changed the game...but what inspired him?
One of the darkest operations out there... The Emporer's plan didn't stop with his death. Robot Palpatine and Bill Burr. Enjoy!
Some of the concept designs for the Rancor creature are pretty cool. We reckon you should give them a goog. Also, the behind the scenes sculpting of this beast are great. Anyway, enjoy!
We try not to get too hyped from trailers but what can we say...we're pumped. Let's talk about the trailer for Acolyte.
Wow, what a name for a gang.
Rest in piece, Shawn Trpcic.
We're finally back after our short hiatus. We missed you Podlings, and we hope you didn't miss us too much. But we're back, and we're hitting you with some fun facts about one of favourite boys... Palpatine. Enjoy!
PB took his gosh darn time finishing this one...but he finally did and we answer some theories that we had way back when. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor... Let's go.
With the news of Ahsoka Season 2 being announced today, we've decided to talk about Ahsoka's character design.
Bec's been reading again and this time has fallen in love with the big bad gang of the High Republic - The Nihil.
The Jedi Vector might not what you think. Maybe you already know about it actually...But if you didn't...well. The Jedi Vector was PEAK High Republic Jedi Starship Fighters, and they're sick, and they could control them with the force.
Where did Chewie's name come from? When he says his name, why doesn't it sound like he's saying "Chewbacca"? We discuss this and also where the name came from outside of the Star Wars universe.
Meet Wet Bub. The intelligent, violent and quite scary, Gungan.
MAYBE Order 66 means, keep at least 66 Jedi alive? Probably not... But that's what it feels like. Ever since we heard the words “You are the last Jedi” from Yoda to Luke, I don’t think many imagined how many...
We often talk about the design of a character or planet. Maybe a sound how a sound effect came to be. But if we go deeper, designing is a creative art form and it’s often overlooked “HOW” one designs. In...
We’ve been doing this for two years. Wow. Thanks to every one of you for support and listening to us along the way. <3

Finally! PB’s favourite topic (outside of Star Wars of course)… Zombies! Halloween is here and we’re excited to have our little book club episode about Death Troopers by Joe Schreiber.
The theories behind Baylon Skoll and what is calling him are very mysterious and intriguing. It’s also arguably the most interesting story arc and character to come out of Ahsoka, maybe even Star Wars in the last few years. What...
Who knew there was a rarer colorful milk in the Star Wars Universe than blue or green. If you already knew about pink milk then stay to hear about a comic book character named Sana Starros. For more information or to...
The Ahsoka has now sadly finished and we must await months for the next show to come out. However, in the meantime, there's much to discuss! In this episode we talk all things Ahsoka, how peaks and highs and where...
We all know that Star Wars and Marvel in the Disney era are in bed together but did you know that Stan Lee helped out George Lucas (which in hindsight was not a loss for Marvel) before the first film...
Coruscant is arguably the most important planet (apart from Tatooine probably...) in the Star Wars universe... AND it's only really seen in all it's glory in the prequels, unless you count Andor, Mandalorian and the special edition of Return of...
There is absolutely no surprise that ol' PL had a lasting impact on pop culture. We wanted to know a bit more behind the scenes of why the Space Buns Princess/General/Admiral was and is so iconic. For more information about our...
It's a thing. It must be hard to drive prequel stories, because you have to naturally direct the story in a way that feels natural and grounded to get to the part of the story that you already know. In...
There's lots of backstory, some canon, some legends, about the Yoda species. There definitely a couple more characters that we thought there were upon our initial research! But none the less, it appears there's a few Yoda's about and we're...
What would be your Darth name if you were ever Darthed by a Darth? Podlings you probably already know how the whole title of Darth situation works in TV and film but we wanted to expand a bit on the...

The technology in Star Wars is something that doesn’t really seem to progress so much. Especially the Lightsaber, considering its use in the Old Republic which is over a millenia ago. Think about how technology advancements have happened over our...
