Star Wars Binge

We complete our trilogy of episodes on the wonderful animated release: "Tales of the Jedi." We have saved the best for last, and we are joined again by the TJ Wilson.

We continue our commentary on the new shows, and take a fresh look at Tales of the Jedi, the themes, the characters, the ethics, and their place in the wider realm of Star Wars.

Last time we spoke, we were pretty down on the creatives at Star Wars.

But we have seen the first half of Andor and Tales of the Jedi and there are all kinds of fresh, hopeful signs.

We will release thoughts between now and December 2022 on the two new shows.

We have gone from 150 hours of Star Wars on Film to 200.

Before we can Binge the best, we need to consume all the good things coming out that cover the Prequel and Original Trilogy Eras.

Daniel and Jeff spend some solid time on the huge announcements this last week at D23 of 6 new shows. They discuss all they hope for, what they're most excited about, and what Star Wars can uniquely say to our culture in this moment.

We're giving some honest thoughts on where we think Star Wars is struggling, what they are doing well, and what we think they should do moving forward.

We love Star Wars and sometimes you encourage and coach and cheer for stuff you love.

We comment on all the possibilities and potential of one of the most anticipated returns to screen in decades.

We talk Vader. We talk world building. And we talk about The Ewan McGregor.

Friends, we have been doing the Binge for a year.

In this episode we celebrate by talking shop about all the new Star Wars projects being released in the next year, and giving the low down on how we are tackling Act 2 off the Binge.

The culmination of the fantastic "Nightsisters Arc".

All the pieces are in place as we end the first Act of our Star Wars Binge.

In this central episode to "The Nightsisters" arc, we see the introduction of a key character voiced by one of the great actors of our time.

The themes of abuse, identity and corruption continue as we move to close out the first act of the Star Wars Binge.

Part 2 as we break down this wonderful arc!

Lots of backstory for the first time for Asajj Ventress, and the introduction of magic into the Star Wars universe.
