Skytalkers

Our 50th episode (!!!) is all about Force visions, premonitions, and cave sequences in Star Wars. What do these obstacles mean for our characters? What purpose do they serve in the story, and what do they mean? In part one, we talk about the prequel trilogy and the Clone Wars: Anakin's dreams, Mortis (Ahsoka and Anakin), and even the Clone Wars microseries. In part two, it's all about the original trilogy: Luke's cave sequence and his vision of his friends dying. We also talk briefly about Rebels. In part three, we discuss the sequel trilogy: Rey's vision in The Force Awakens, the mirror cave in The Last Jedi, and Rey and Kylo's visions together. All this and more on this episode of Skytalkers!

The finale of Star Wars: Rebels is here and we're here to talk about it. Spoilers ahead! First, Caitlin gives her 30 second recap on this epic finale (A Fool's Hope, Family Reunion, & Farewell). Then, they each give 2 highs and 1 low about the episodes overall. Next, they discuss the story elements of Rebels: what is the state of the Rebellion? How did we feel about the ending? Could we have predicted it would come to this point? What makes a story especially "Filoni" and how do we feel about that? In the character section, we go through each character. We answer a listener email addressing some concerns about women representation in the finale -- and we give our thanks to the creators of the show, as well as the fans.

This episode is all about fan-created media and how it enriches our Star Wars fandom experience. There is no community like the Star Wars community, especially when fans are creating awesome content every day to support their passions. Caitlin and Charlotte are joined by Amy Richau (@amyrichau), writer for StarWars.com and creator of #365StarWarsWomen, a project chronicling a different woman involved in Star Wars a day. They talk with her about fandom, women in Star Wars, and get to know her story. Next, they're joined by Danny Pirtle (@DannyPirtle19), creator of a website called Porgology that hosts articles, think pieces, and catalogs the different alien creatures that appear across the Star Wars canon. Danny then asked Caitlin and Charlotte to create a "Star Wars dinner" with only aliens and creatures. Finally, Caitlin and Charlotte discuss two aspects of their fandom: fanfiction and fan-created videos. What's up with the stigma behind fanfiction? What are our favorites and what do we look for in a "good" fanfiction? Why do we love fanvids so much and what is their origin? All this and more on this episode of Skytalkers!

Star Wars: Rebels is in the home stretch... Skytalkers' Fulcrum Files returns to discuss the two emotional episodes, Jedi Night and DUME. Spoilers ahead! First, Caitlin gives her 20 second recap of the episodes. Then, they give their 2 highs and 1 low.

Do we think the episode was balanced in giving our characters time to grieve while moving the plot forward towards the next step?

It's REAL! We watched the Super Bowl spot and the official teaser of Solo: A Star Wars Story and have our reactions and thoughts! What do we think about Alden Ehrenreich as Han? Emilia Clarke as Qi'ra? We give our thoughts on the visual language, time period, and potential story elements. Inevitably, we ask: What does this story mean for the future of "anthology" films in Star Wars? Is Star Wars abandoning the different-genre exploration that was promised years ago? This, and of course, what we think of it all, on this special one-take episode of Skytalkers!
