- Cantina Banter #6 | Quantic Dream, The Studio Behind Star Wars Eclipse
Are our choices really our own? Join your host as they dive deep into the interactive drama and intricate choice architecture of Quantic Dream's most ambitious narrative experiences: Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human.
We break down our own distinct playthroughs—from Jodie's supernatural path and Aiden's presence to the diverging fates of Connor, Markus, and Kara—to unpack the studio's storytelling style.
By analyzing the themes of destiny, deviancy, and moral ambiguity in these two games, what can we truly expect from the developer's upcoming High Republic action-adventure, Star Wars Eclipse?
Will the Outer Rim's destiny be forged by free will or a hidden narrative tether? We speculate on the future of choice-based gameplay in a galaxy far, far away!

If there's anything new coming out with a Star Wars label lately, it's Visions Volume 3 on Disney plus. This wacky volume of stories using the Star Wars license might not have any place within the canon, but it is a treat to see what a variety of anime studios can do if they smash thier heads together and fuse Star Wars with the world of Anime.
This week we sit down to chat about the entire volume, how we thought about each short, some being continuations to Volume 1, we take a look at how well they do to continue thier respective stories. Visions can be hit or miss, but we give a fair pablo points and poodoos as usual for each of these one by one. Don't forget about our podcast archives spreadsheet that tracks all these scores from the team!————————————————————————
