Star Wars Chit-Chat (Formerly Comics In Canon)

We continue the new era on-screen; Acolyte set during the High Republic! Tune in each week for Mike & different guests, and this week is Clone Wars Conversations co-host; Maff!

This week brings forth the lowest rated live-action Star Wars episode ever (as of recording this), so Mike & Maff ask the questions; is this episode any good? Do the witches break the canon? Is Mother Naasa a member of the ancient Sith species? The duo discuss their thoughts on the flashback, the many witches of Star Wars, force-sensitivity, the controversial “immaculate conception”, characters, toxic fandom and more!

Mike, Dave & Maff discuss episodes of The Clone Wars animated series every month and they’re currently in Season 3, so tune in wherever you’re listening to this and you can even watch on YouTube! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcO1Ib_BGD8Y79aRWUxSWwdy3eyNrbXBl&si=fBj8GSeS3xZDLlsI

Clone Wars Conversations officially commences! This year Dave, Maff, Mike and occasionally Megan will be reviewing every episode of the 2008 Clone Wars animated series. They’ve reviewed The Phantom Menace, Attack Of The Clones and the Clone Wars movie, so now they delve into the entire first season, including all 22 episodes!

In more detail, they first talk about their general thoughts on the first season before Megan talks about her highlights and favourite characters. The squad then talk about the animation style before Megan goes to bed. The boys then talk in-depth about each standalone episode, full arcs and their high & low points of the series, including the clone’s personalities, the villains, the horror elements and where Maff thinks the show is going, given there is very little dramatic tension for the main protagonists. Near the end, Mike also confirms the chronological watching order of the first 3 seasons of The Clone Wars!
