Star Bros

The wait is over! Our patience has been rewarded with two fantastic episodes to kick off season 3 of The Mandalorian. And before you think too long that Favreau was going to just pick up the blueprint that made season two a resounding success, he has thrown the blueprint out the window and subverted all our expectations. In this episode, Jan and Ben discuss all the memorable moments of these first two episodes, including the hunt for a beloved droid (or two), some cute Anzellans, an unwelcome return to Mandalore, and THAT moment!

Mandalorian season 3 is so close, we can almost taste those blue macaroons ourselves! Your favorite beskar-clad bounty hunter and his force-wielding sidekick are about the capture our imaginations and hearts once again for the next couple of months, but before all that, we show just how inept we are at keeping our excitement contained. In this episode, we look back at the two seasons that preceded, discussing our favorite moments, characters, and episodes. If you're struggling to contain your excitement too, or just want to quickly recall where we stand going into this season, tune in for another great discussion!

On screen, stormtroopers are villains (albeit mostly harmless), but if you ever see them or discuss them in real life, they’re practically heroes and as iconic as the dark lord they serve. And while stormtroopers may not have the best aim, Jan and Ben are aiming to learn a new thing or two about every variety of trooper there is. In what may be our wackiest episode, we also discuss Finn, fun facts from the Stormtrooper book, and much more!

Some people find faith disturbing, but we find it just another fun topic worth a deeper discussion. From one taboo topic to another, this week is about religion! No attempts to convert you to a specific one, but instead, we talk about the role that religion plays in the Star Wars galaxy and the parallels that can be drawn to religions in our galaxy. So whether you’re curious connections to Buddhism, Christianity, or Islam; or, if you’d prefer to explore religions like the Jedi or those found on Jedha, tune in join the great religious debate!

"Death is just another path. One that we all must take." Oh wait, that’s a different franchise. Nonetheless, dealing with loss is a staple to great storytelling, and Star Wars makes us deal with our fair share of loss. As tends to be a tradition with the Star Bros, we dig deep into yet another obscure topic to see how Star Wars uses death to propel our characters arcs forward, the difference in how the Jedi and Sith view death, and the different rituals used to mourn and respect the fallen. And surprisingly, we make it a fun topic too!

Two things have made time stand still the last few years: the pandemic, and debate over the 8th episode in the Skywalker saga. Opinions are still as strong as ever, and it’s time we submitted our opinion into the universe. In this celebration of the 5th anniversary of The Last Jedi, we talk about all the initial reactions, how well it has aged, our favorite moments, and just how fair some of the criticisms are. We love this movie, but we attempt to make this a balanced discussion whether you’re a fan of it or not.

In the words of Jyn Erso, it's been a long time! We are finally back to bring you our deep dive into the two episodes of Andor that we missed: Nobody's Listening and One Way Out. Prison is never a picnic, but something about the work they're doing doesn't feel like community service. These episodes leave us exploring the depth of the prison metaphor, the lessons on leadership, and the power of sacrifice to make this Rebellion a reality. Needless to say, these episodes were a real treat for Star Wars fans and any fan of good television.

We bet you've never wanted to go to prison, but prison in our galaxy cannot be as bad as prison in the far away galaxy. Andor keeps moving along, and if the anxiety of an improbable heist isn't enough, let's try the anxiety of prison labor with a side of claustrophobia (do you get the episode title now?). The emotions keep running strong in this fantastic series and we are here to break it all down for you!
