This episode we take a look at Episode #9 of The Bad Batch, "The Crossing". This is a super important episode from a macro perspective as it really highlights the varying ways different personalities handle the same situation, and the guys really dive into that aspect. In discussing Tech and Omega's interactions the guys share very personal stories about their own lives and how those experiences have shaped their methods of dealing with stress, anxiety, loss, etc. There are also some highly relatable moments in this episode for the new/perspective parent which are fun to discuss.

We of course dive into the IMDB ratings and reviews, as well as look ahead to the upcoming Mando S3 release and possible movie news whose announcement could be coming as soon as Star Wars Celebration! So sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

In this episode we take a look Episode 7 ("The Clone Conspiracy") and Episode 8 ("Truth and Consequences") of the Bad Batch! Two very important episodes which help to 'fill the gaps' in understanding how the TK program came to be, and how the Empire eventually decommissioned the Clones. On top of that the squad loses a member, setting up a trying period for the team. We look at who the mysterious 'Clone X' assassin might be, delve into Ramparts future, and gush briefly at the puppeteering prowess of Palpatine. All that and more so sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

On this special episode we are celebrating 'Star Wars Podcast Day' by sharing our favorite, and least favorite, character from the Disney era of Star Wars. Don't worry, this isn't a bash fest but rather a constructive look at where we felt certain characters maybe fell flat (or weren't given the chance) and where others have shined. We also have a couple 'honorable mentions' to go along with it, so sit back and relax this is where the fun begins! #StarWarsPodcastDay #SWPD2023

We've got double trouble on today's episode as we cover both 'Entombed' and 'Tribe'. Despite the differences, they are rather intertwined and come with a number of questions: Who are the ancient's who built Skara Nal? Could they be the Zeffo or was it someone else?  Will Omega's naivety get the Batch into trouble they can't escape later this season?  Who is the buyer for Gungi? Did we get confirmation that Omega is force sensitive? All that and more so sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

It's Star Wars meets Mario Kart in this week's episode of The Bad Batch ('Faster'). Introduced to 'Riot Racing' we breakdown the episode and discuss what long-term effects might be felt by the squad. We also take a look at the recent S3 trailer for "The Mandalorian". Plenty of new footage to be had, and lots to get us hyped up for March! We close with our "Fine Addition" segment where we look at some of the new adds to our collections. **Note: Apologies for the blips of "static" (around 8:30 and 11:30) we believe this is a rendering issue and will clean it up for future recordings**

The BAD BATCH is back! Season 2 kicks off with a double drop, "Spoils of War" and "Ruins of War", and the guys are back to recap them both. Omega has clearly leveled up her skill tree, and it's nice to see Echo and Tech involved for a change. We get a couple of fun nods to the original Clone Wars show, but has Rampart positioned himself to be the "Big Bad" this season? We look ahead to what the rest of the season might bring, and will we get to finally see the epic duel between Cad Bane and Boba Fett? Only time will tell, so sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

"The powderkeg of rebellion has been lit!"

In this episode we discuss the EXPLOSIVE final act of Andor. The culmination of the Ferrix arc Episodes 11 (Daughter's of Ferrix) and Episode 12 (Rix Road), see the Rebellion ignite as the people of Ferrix are embolden courtesy of a Mama Andor. We discuss the role of family, and how the greatest sources of strength come from those you love. We talk about the season as a whole and how the numerous themes and messages, all seemed to circle back to each other, and how these relate to our current day.

We also take a moment to discuss the recent news at Disney with the rehiring of Bob Iger, and the firing of Bob Chapek. What, if anything, could this mean for LFL or is this likely more an acquisition and Parks related move?
