The New Republic Archives

At long last, we’re finally back! We’re sorry our break took so long, and that this episode is a relatively short one, but we’re back! Despite our hiatus, there’s surprisingly little news to talk about. Instead we discuss what we’ve been up to and our feelings about the Ahsoka show, among a few other tangents!

We’re so sorry we’re late with this week’s deep dive, but we’re back to talk about the brand new children’s series Young Jedi Adventures!

We’d also like to let everyone know that with the release of this episode, New Republic Archives will be going on a brief haitus. After putting out nearly 60 episodes in the span of the last two years, we’ve yet to take a break and real life has gotten increasingly difficult to work around in recent weeks. We’re planning on coming back in the fall, with a tentative return date as early as September, but rest assured that we’ll announce a firm date of return as soon as we’re able! Stick around to the end of the episode for more details! Thanks again to everyone who has kept up with us on this journey, and we’ll be back soon!

In This Episode:
Young Jedi Adventures
Episode 1: The Young Jedi / Yoda’s Mission
Starring:
Jamaal Avery Jr as Kai Brightstar
Juliet Donenfeld as Lys Solay
Dee Bradley Baker as Nubs
Emma Berman as Nash Durango

Tim and Gary are back with another bantha episode, and while there’s been very little news, we’ve at least got some new content out to discuss. Tim went to see Return of the Jedi, and Gary’s been playing Jedi: Survivor, and we get into it. Still, it’s a bit of a short one this week.
