In this episode of the Kessel Rundown, we discuss the last two stunning installments of Obi-Wan Kenobi. We recap the through-lines of the series so far and look forward to what should be a thrilling conclusion these next two weeks. Will Vader kill Reva? Will Leia show her force sensitivity? Come for the breakdown, stay for Hunter’s cloning conspiracy theories.

In the Kessel Rundown's first taping since our technological tragedies in April, we jump headfirst in to the latest Kenobi trailer and break it down scene by scene. We discuss the overarching themes that have presented themselves in these two teaser trailers, and what to expect from the premiere coming in just a few weeks. Hunter also presents the latest news tidbits from around the Disney+ production scene, including the Ahsoka series officially kicking off and some updates about Andor. Bonus content: Ethan flawlessly imitates an imperial probe droid! 

In this special Kenobi-themed episode, we watch through and breakdown the newly released teaser trailer for Disney+'s newest foray into the Star Wars universe. We go frame by frame and make some determinations about what could be coming in this series. This episode is best viewed on our YouTube channel (https://youtu.be/nbvquPnboQA). May the Force be with you. 

Before jumping headfirst into Attack of the Clones, we recap some recent Star Wars developments and Lucasfilm news - including reports surrounding the fifth Indiana Jones film. We also explore the possibility of one of our favorite rogue Jedi, Quinlan Vos, returning to Star Wars in the Kenobi series. Then it's on to the main section of the pod, where we dive all the way in to Episode II: Attack of the Clones, George Lucas' magnificent and cringe-inducing followup to Episode I. 

This week on The Kessel Rundown Pod, we begin with a deep dive into the new theme park experience Galactic Starcruiser, as well as a bit of news regarding our beloved John Williams and the passing of a prominent Star Wars author. Then we dive all the way in to 1999's controversial Star Wars comeback, The Phantom Menace. We discuss what worked (and what didn't) from a cinematic perspective, as well as what we enjoyed and what we disliked as fans. Later in the episode, we move for a vote of no confidence in Mace Windu.

In the debut of The Kessel Run Podcast, Hunter and Ethan briefly go through some Star Wars news of the week, with the Kenobi release date being announced along with a poster. We also discuss the new developments in the Old Republic video game world before diving all the way into the just-finished Book of Boba Fett series on Disney+.
