Ever wondered what it would be like to discover Star Wars for the first time as an adult? That was Krishna Shetty's experience! We talk through the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy of Star Wars films and look at it all with fresh eyes. Are droids the pets we truly deserve (they are.)? Is Star Wars really just a big long saga all about family (it is.)? Why is Darth Vader low-key kinda hot (who knows?)? Join me with the artist behind all of our show artwork as she takes us through her first journey to a galaxy far, far away. This episode is brought to you by our partners at Wook-Eaze: For fur that roars. Pour yourself a drink and listen along!

We welcome back to the studio Brian Hastert (host of the podcast Local Selection, actor, clone-lover, and friend) to discuss The Great Plan of the Sith and how the Acolyte sets in motion the storyline that will get us to Anakin's immaculate conception. Who is Darth Plagueis the Wise and how did he meet his tragic demise? Are the Sith wholly evil or is it just that the Jedi are limited in their practices? Why do we care about midi-chlorians? This episode is brought to you by our sponsers at the Spa of the Sith on the Unknown Planet. Pour yourself a drink and listen along!

And just like that, it's over. We loved this one - so many payoffs and so well done. We talk about Venestra's dress, the peek-a-boo Sith, TikTok trolls, and how lightsabers turn red. While we're sad that it's over, we're looking forward to reviewing more shows in the future. Listen along and enjoy!

It's our first in-person interview at the Darth Jar Jar studio!! Brian Hastert (actor, teacher, host of the podcast Local Selection, and clone afficionado) and I get in the weeds on one of my favorite topics in all of Star Wars: The clones. We cover the creation of the army, the Clone War, Order 66, and clone life in the Empire. Rex? The shady Kaminoans? Fives? The Clone Underground? It's all here! Oh - and a reminder to all clones out there to join the CRF for veteran aid packages. Pour yourself a drink and listen along!Spoilers for Clone Wars & The Bad Batch (and Return of the Jedi, I guess... spoiler alert, Darth Vader dies!) Why Count Dooku is the deadliest duelist.

Anna and Nick sleepily talk about The Acolyte Season 1 Episode 4: "Day." We express our desire for a Wookiee show, try to figure out why Yord is so uptight, and are baffled by the Jedis' tracker companion. We also discuss that how much we WANT to love the show doesn't exactly line up with how much we ACTUALLY love it. Listen along and enjoy!
