  • Star Wars Re-Watch Podcast Special Edition Who's Your Favorite Furry Friend and Astromech Droid?

    Special Edition Episode: Sydney's Brilliance


    This episode is a special edition inspired by Sydney's idea. That's right, SYDNEY'S BRILLIANCE created this episode! We discuss and vote for our favorite sidekicks, both furry and droid.


    Sydney


    Howdy, Friends!


    It's been a while! Sorry for the delay. Since Ahsoka wrapped, we've been on a bit of a hiatus. The intro above was written by Sydney. I had some other thoughts on how this episode might go down. AJ had a baby, and my brother has been busy, so I've invested in new equipment that will allow them to record episodes remotely. Look forward to those in the future!


    In the meantime, Sydney came up with a great idea to discuss her favorite sidekick characters. Of course, I agreed! She wanted to talk about her favorite furry friends, Chewbacca and Wicket.


    Since Ahsoka wrapped, I've also been catching up on The Clone Wars and Rebels. I mentioned on the podcast that I hadn't watched them when they were new. While I'm still not the biggest fan of the animation style, it has improved over time, and the stories and characters have become more complex.


    I'm now well into season three of Rebels and deeply regret not watching it before Ahsoka. While Ahsoka isn't the main focus, her appearances are standout moments. I'm specifically thinking of the time she rescues Kanan and Ezra from two Inquisitors by herself. Ahsoka is truly a badass.


    As a result of watching Rebels, Sydney has become a fan of C1-10P, aka "Chopper." She often mimics Chopper's sounds, which always makes me laugh. When I ask her to repeat them, she refuses. So, we decided to choose between R2-D2 and C1-10P as our favorite droid sidekicks.


    We posted a poll on our YouTube community tab and read the results aloud. If you haven't voted yet, please visit the community tab and do so. We also posted another poll for a future episode idea. Check out the community tab for more details!


    Thanks for listening!

  • ***VIDEO*** Star Wars Re-Watch Podcast Ahsoka Part Eight: The Jedi, The Witch and the Warlord.

    Wow. This Episode Was Tough on Production!

    Was it fun to sit down and record with my brother? Of course, it was.
    But was it fun to edit out all the times the video went black during
    recording? Not at all.
    Ahsoka Finale & Reflections:
    Ahsoka is finally over! Some fans are happy, while others are not. I
    understand both perspectives. Now that I'm in season five of The Clone
    Wars, I can see the changes in Ahsoka's character development over time.
    No longer is she the hot-headed apprentice of Anakin Skywalker. She's
    evolving into a Padawan with her own views on the war and the Jedi
    Order's role in it.
    Her changing perspective becomes clear during the four-episode arc on
    Onderon. Here, the Jedi support a local insurgency instead of committing
    galactic navy resources to liberate the planet. The show boldly uses
    the term "terrorism" to describe the rebels' actions.
    Anakin supports the idea of using terrorism to free Onderon, but Yoda
    and the Jedi Council reject this approach. Instead, they decide to
    supply weapons that only target droids, not civilians.
    Ahsoka feels uneasy and isolated, with no master or mentor to confide
    in. There's also a hint of romance between her and an ex-Separatist,
    adding to her internal conflict.
    These nuanced character developments are missing in Ahsoka. I found a
    video that criticizes Dave Filoni, and I agree with many of the points
    made. The series is best appreciated if you've seen The Clone Wars and
    Rebels, as it isn't accessible to viewers unfamiliar with Ahsoka's
    story.
    The video also compares recent Star Wars shows to Andor, noting that
    Andor stands out because it tells a compelling story even without the
    Star Wars setting. In contrast, Ahsoka, The Book of Boba Fett, and
    Obi-Wan Kenobi rely heavily on established characters and fan service,
    limiting their storytelling risks.
    Overall, this episode and Ahsoka as a whole were just okay. What did you
    think of the show? Did you love it or hate it? In my opinion, the
    opposite of love isn't hate; it's indifference.
    After watching seasons one and two of The Mandalorian, I felt
    indifferent. I didn't watch The Book of Boba Fett until after season
    three of The Mandalorian, realizing I'd missed important story elements
    that left me confused.

  • *** VIDEO *** Star Wars Re-Watch Podcast Ahsoka Part Seven: Dreams and Madness

    Howdy, Spacefarers!

    Good to hear from you again. We have returned for the final two episodes
    of Ahsoka. My brother Mike has joined us once again.
    In this episode, we explore whether Ahsoka's bold gambit to travel the
    galaxy in the belly of a star whale pays off. We also learn how Ezra has
    been faring since being stranded with his arch-enemy, Grand Admiral
    Thrawn, and a violent group of bandits for several years.
    Do our heroes manage to reunite and band together to foil Thrawn's
    plans? Find out in this episode of the podcast!
    Thank you for listening!

  • *** VIDEO *** Star Wars Re-Watch Podcast Ahsoka Part Five: Shadow Warrior

    Here We Are: Re-recording the Podcast Episode

    I admit, I messed up. Whoops. Moving on.
    Despite my mistake, I'm grateful for having re-watched this episode,
    mainly because of Hayden Christensen's reprisal as Anakin. I mentioned
    during the episode and will reiterate here: my man still has the moves.
    It didn't look like they used a stunt double at all!
    Comparing Christensen's performance to Ewan McGregor's, there's a
    noticeable difference. Granted, there's an age gap between the two.
    However, McGregor looked tired on screen, while Christensen, despite
    Anakin being dead, looked alive and energetic in his portrayal.
    Unfortunately, while his performance stood out, young Ahsoka's did not.
    Nothing against Arianna Greenblatt—she was great as Sasha in the Barbie
    movie. While she kind of acts like a brat in this episode, it's more
    likely a reaction to the dialogue she's given. Christensen also
    struggled with some of the poorly written lines. For many, Star Wars is
    the only film they've seen him in, and his delivery of George Lucas's
    lines didn't always help.
    This episode was alright. Not great, not terrible. If it wasn't obvious
    that the star whales would be used to jump to hyperspace to follow
    Morgan and her goons to Peridea, then you must have been watching a
    different show.
    What did you think of the episode? Let us know in the comments.
    Thanks for listening!

  • ***VIDEO*** Star Wars Re-Watch Podcast Ahsoka Part Six: Far, Far Away

    As I write this, I'm re-watching Part VI of Ahsoka. Upon reflection, I realized we recorded the wrong episode first. The last episode published covered Parts III and IV, but Sydney and I just recorded Part VI for some reason. Needless to say, we'll have to record another episode soon, or I can delay posting this one until a few days after the next one is published.


    I forgot to take notes and can't remember the exact order of events. Whether I remember all of it or not, it was still a very good episode. You'll hear which part I found most compelling, and I'm sure it was your favorite part too.


    We mostly followed the events of the episode as they occurred. It's intriguing to see Morgan and her goons arrive at the Nightsister temple, where the Great Mothers are waiting with yet another star map. I wonder if these maps are an essential part of Dathomiri culture or just a plot device.


    We briefly discuss the motivations of Baylan Skoll. We know he survived the purges of Order 66, but he harbors no love for the Old Republic, the Jedi Order, or the Empire. He mentions to Shin that he's trying to break the cycle of history, which raises the question: why help the Imperial Remnant? Didn't the Empire just lose the war?


    Yes, Thrawn is their best hope of challenging the New Republic, despite its strained state. I'm very curious to see how Skoll's story unfolds. The same goes for his apprentice—will she follow her master to the end or forge her own path?


    Give this episode a listen and share your thoughts. I thought it was really good.


    What did you think?

  • Star Wars Re-Watch Podcast Ahsoka Part Four: Fallen Jedi

    Greetings, Spacefarers!

    Thank you for tuning into another episode of The Star Wars Re-Watch
    Podcast. My brother Mike and I just watched Part IV of Ahsoka titled
    "Fallen Jedi." Thanks to patiently enduring the previous episode, we get
    to see a lot of action featuring Shin and Baylan in this one.
    Previously, Huyang suggested that Ahsoka be more flexible when teaching
    Sabine. In turn, Sabine gets her chance to face off against Shin once
    more to prove if she's up to snuff. I'm sure you're all aware that Ray
    Stevenson passed away in May, almost three months before Ahsoka aired.
    That being said, we should all be grateful for the intensity he brings
    to the roles he takes. His portrayal of a not Jedi/not Sith character is
    rather intriguing.
    Since Baylan and his apprentice survived the Order 66 purges, I'm
    curious how his perception of the Republic and Jedi Council shaped his
    worldview. I am still making my way through the Clone Wars series. Young
    Ahsoka is proving to be a cunning and competent padawan under the
    tutelage of Anakin's unorthodox "field" training.
    I know that Ahsoka abandoned the Jedi Order when she felt their pursuit
    of war with the Separatists made the Jedi Council complicit in all the
    death and destruction. Does Baylan feel the same way? Does supporting
    Thrawn potentially make him a Sith if Vader and Emperor Palpatine are
    dead?
    It's very curious to see who they might cast as Baylan if he does not
    survive the series. Thanks for listening. What are your thoughts on the
    series so far? How does this Ahsoka compare to Clone Wars Ahsoka or
    Rebels Ahsoka?
