Wookies are one of the most well-known and underrated alien species in Star Wars. We discuss some of our favorite wookiee characters and what we would like to see more of for this beloved species in the future.

It’s the season for spookiness and things that frighten you. And there is nothing scarier than truly terrible writing. So this month, we’re discussing the Star Wars family that has had such horrendous writing across the board that it has given us nightmares and, sometimes, ulcers.

This is: The Kryze Family.

The Clone Wars is a beloved show that many Star Wars fans remember very fondly and is often credited with saving the Prequel Trilogy.

So for our second anniversary, we decided to discuss why we find The Clone Wars to be vastly overrated.

The title of “Mary Sue” gets tossed around a lot these days, especially in Star Wars, but are these characters truly worthy of the name, or are there others who deserve it even more? We discuss characters from the Prequels, the Sequels, and Legends to determine the true Star Wars Mary Sue.

From Star Wars’ Most Controversial Baby to one of the best villain deaths we’ve seen in a long time, we discuss Andor’s second season: the things we loved, the things we didn’t love, and everything in between. It may not have been a perfect season, but for a show no one believed in at the start, Andor seems to have changed Star Wars for good.

Aromantic and asexual representation in media is pretty sparse, and that’s no less true in Star Wars. This Pride month we discuss the specific aromantic and asexual characters in Star Wars, how well we feel that representation was done, how the Jedi fit into that without anyone ever intending them to, and what more we’d love to see in the future.

We're back with another installment in our fixing the sequels series, this time to talk about the New Republic and the Jedi Order! Why did Luke's order fall apart the way it did? Did we really have to destroy the ENTIRE New Republic with one shot?? Who is funding the Resistance and the First Order??? Has Nat even SEEN these movies????

Redemption is complicated. It means a lot of different things to different people. But it’s also a concept that a lot of people find really important in their lives, so it has a tendency to show up in stories quite often, including Star Wars. We discuss the different ways you can interpret the idea of redemption, some of our favorite examples of well-written redemption arcs in media, and the ways Star Wars has incorporated redemption into its narratives.

It’s Nat’s birthday month and if there’s one thing we know about Nat, it’s that she LOVES an excuse to talk about Andor, so since season two will be airing in two months, we decided to celebrate both things at the same time. Rebellions take a lot of work, so we discuss some of the primary things that you need to make a rebellion truly successful and how Andor showcases this through the various different characters and locations in the story.
