Skytalkers

Caitlin and Charlotte finish up their Star Wars: The Last Jedi recap podcasts with the final section, the "catch all." In part one, they answer plot-based questions, including: What's something you would personally add or change? Can you define the force bond? What does "tied on a string" mean? In part two, they answer character based questions. They talk about Reylo. They get emotional. They talk about Carrie Fisher and Leia and redemption arcs. They get emotional. In part three, they speculate about the future of the saga.

In the episode, Caitlin reads from two books: "Postcards from the Edge" by Carrie Fisher and "The Theater of War" by Bryan Doerries (narrated by Adam Driver).

Part two of the Skytalkers in-depth breakdown of Star Wars: The Last Jedi is here with our character section. First, Charlotte and Caitlin dive into the connections that characters have with each other in the film. In TLJ, characters rarely spend time "alone" -- how do these relationships build up (or break down) our characters? Can we compare Force bonds throughout the saga with Kylo Ren and Rey's bond? What does their Force bond mean for the saga and the balance of the Force? Next, they dig deep into the Skywalker family and legacy. Is this the end of the Skywalker line? Finally, they talk about Failure and make some character predictions for episode 9.
