VADER CONFRONTS PADMÉ’S HANDMAIDENS BUT WILL THEY JOIN HIM OR REBEL? For ep 142, Mike continues with the 2020 run of Darth Vader comics, with another story surrounding Sabé & Dormé caught in the web of Vader, as they try to save innocents while fighting against Jul Tambor. As Vader’s web entangles the other handmaidens too causing them to ask themselves what they’re willing to sacrifice in order to save lives and if Sabé is truly working for the Dark Lord…

Issue 30 was released January 11th 2023, issue 32 was released March 22nd 2023 and the trade paperback collection was released 27th June 2023.

Mike recently spoke with Ethan Sacks (author of Bounty Hunters, Galaxy’s Edge & more Star Wars comics) on ep 213 of Genuine Chit-Chat and has recorded an episode with Shadow of the Sith author Adam Christopher, so look out for that too!

In the last episode, Mike explains BEFORE AHSOKA, HOW DID ANAKIN, OBI-WAN AND PLO-KOON DEAL WITH CLONES?

Plus Maff has put together a quiz for Mike & Dave to do – play along and tell us how you did!

This week is a special episode, where Dave, Maff, Megan & Mike go back to 1999 with the first of the controversial Prequel Trilogy; The Phantom Menace! The episode serves as a soft lead into the Clone Wars animated series, which Dave, Maff & Mike will be delving into in 2024 – Maff hasn’t watched the prequel trilogy in many years, while Mike is a staunch defender, so tune in to hear; is Phantom Menace actually any good?

In more detail, the gang discuss their impressions of Phantom Menace from when they first watched them and how they felt about it after the recently rewatch. They highlight certain characters, namely Jar Jar Binks, Darth Maul, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn, the political dialogue, how the movie was different from the original trilogy, things they believe could’ve been improved, elements that they enjoy and whether or not this film still deserves to be maligned even 24 years after release!

Keep an eye out for the upcoming episodes on Attack Of The Clones and the Clone Wars movie, leading to the trio’s upcoming show; Clone Wars Conversations! It’ll debut in 2024 and will be a monthly podcast by Dave, Maff & Mike where they’ll be going through each season of The Clone Wars animated series.

THE REBELS ARE TRAPPED IN NO SPACE, HOW WILL THEY ESCAPE? For ep 138, Mike delves back into the main run of Star Wars comics from 2020, where Chewie, Holdo, Lando, Leia, Lobot & Luke search for the Kezarat Convoy by using a High-Republic-era Nihil path engine and find themselves in trouble! In addition to the comic’s plot, Mike delves into a bit of information regarding the High Republic, Amilyn Holdo, Abyssians and more!

Star Wars 30-33 were all written by Charles Soule with Rachelle Rosenberg as colour artist and for issues 30 & 31, Andrés Genolet was artist while Madibek Musabekov was artist for issues 32 & 33. Issue 30 was released January 4th 2023, issue 33 was released April 5th 2023 and the trade paperback collection was released 26th September 2023.

Mike delved into the previous issues (26-29) of Star Wars 2020 in ep 115, and to hear more about the Nihil & No Space, listen to Mike’s episodes covering Phase 1 High Republic content, especially the book reviews (search on any podcast app or check the High Republic playlist on YouTube)!

The ep is another canon book review, but this one takes place from Attack Of The Clones through The Clone Wars and into years after Order 66, following Iskat Akaris’ journey from Jedi Padawan to The Thirteenth Sister (an inquisitor) and the many situations she finds herself in along the way, including searching for other members of her mysterious species!

A JEDI FALLS INTO THE DARKNESS, BUT WHAT DOES THE INQUISITORIUS HOLD IN STORE FOR HER?
