On today's episode we talk about a more recent controversy surrounding the character of Cara Dune and more specifically the person who plays her, Gina Carano. We talk briefly about how we got to this situation but mainly focus on what can be done with the character of Cara Dune now that the original actor is now gone. Again, just so you know before listening, TRANS LIVES MATTER! That is not the controversy. We do not believe in the controversy surrounding the firing. We give our feelings on it and that is about it. We do not show her side. The focus must be on moving forward and making sure all are welcome in the Star Wars Fandom. That is the point of this podcast. Hate speech is not defensible. 

Any way, should Cara Dune be written out or recast? Alex, Ethan and correspondent Sarah Discuss all this and more on the newest episode.

In today's episode, Alex argues that The Clone Wars might not be super appropriate for young eyes while Ethan and Sarah come it's defense. Perhaps today's kids are more mature than in the past? Perhaps our definition of 'kid' should change? All this and more on Who Shot First?.

In today's episode, Alex and Ethan chat about the controversy of whether Hayden Christensen is a horrific actor in Attack of the Clones, if he was perfect or if he played the part to the best of his abilities and was severely hampered by script and directing.

It's time for Alex and Ethan to talk about Dialogue. Why is Attack of the clones so bad? Is it bad at all? Why can't George Lucas convey emotion? Show don't tell. We talk about the issues with the wording and if they were deliberate or just were poorly written. Enjoy.

What? Two Star Wars fans that have differencing opinions can actually talk to each other about Star Wars? Was there blood? Profanity? Hatred? None of the above? How can this be? Alex interviews Jordan Diel about Midiclorians, The Prequels, George Lucas, and much more.

Alex, Ethan and correspondent Sarah discuss that crazy finale of Season 2 of the Mandalorian. We chat about Luke Skywalker, Bo Katan.

Happy Holidays everyone! In honor of the season Alex and Ethan discuss The Original 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. This is such an important controversy that we brought it correspondent Sarah to share her thoughts and debate Alex on the pros and cons of the Holiday Special. Sarah takes the side of it being terrible and Alex does his very best to defend it. Let us know what you think of how Alex did. It was very hard for him with the material he was given.
