Episode 4 of Ahsoka is nearly flawless in its execution of the story, preparing the characters for the inevitable larger conflict with a series of smaller but no less challenging ones, and finally cracking the door open to Ahsoka's inner turmoil.

2023/09/12

Episode 3 is here and there is a lot to love, including some wonderful scenes that evoke memories of the Original Trilogy, Clone Wars, and Rebels each individually, along with some good character growth for our core players. However, we do have some criticisms about the way the first couple scenes handle the explanation of where certain characters are at in this story and why they take the paths they do, in terms of how those things play out for the more casual viewers.

It's been a long time coming, but we're excited to finally jump into Ahsoka's first episode! There's some great stuff in this episode, along with a few scenes that we question whether they could have been handled differently, but overall it's an excellent introduction to our newest series and a fun reintroduction to some of our favorite characters!BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/massivebreakdownpodcastDESTINY 2 PODS:PVP: https://destiny-massive-breakdowns.captivate.fm/listenPVE:

Episode LXXX - The Essential Episodes - Thrawn Primer

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2023/08/21

Our road to Ahsoka ends here, the day before the two part release, with our primer on the suspected main antagonist of the series: Mitth'raw'nuruodo AKA Thrawn! We begin with a discussion of the books, both canon and non-canon, but the meat of the episode is focused on his appearances in Rebels. Given the rumors that Ahsoka can basically be considered Rebels fifth season, this seemed like a great focal point to learn about what makes this character one of the most interesting "villains" in Star Wars

2023/08/14

We wanted to do something a little different in our episodes leading up to the two-part premier of Ahsoka, so we decided to chronologically go through the arcs and episodes that we feel are essential viewing for someone wanting to be caught up on the character. Kutch and I both took different approaches but there is a lot of overlap and we cover some of the best stories ever told in Star Wars TV, so let's jump in!BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/massivebreakdownpodcastDESTINY 2 PODS:PVP:

The second episode in our Documentary Series (and potentially the last one until after Ahsoka) covers the making of Episode 1 with The Beginning. This documentary is a surprisingly candid look at the difficulty behind following up on the greatest trilogy of all time, and serves as a fair warning to what can happen when someone is given free reign to micromanage every facet of a production with limitless potential.

Diving into the first episode of our Documentary Series here on Beneath Twin Suns with an all time great work of Star Wars non-fiction, Empire of Dreams! Join us for a behind the scenes look at what it took to make the original trilogy, presented through the interesting lens that was the early 2000s. It turns out that Star Wars was not just a labor of George Lucas's passion for the story, but it also took a lot of other people believing in a relatively unproven filmmaker and a generous helping of

2023/07/03

We've finally reached the end of the second season of Bad Batch, and we're going out on a high note (at least as far as episode quality goes). Surprisingly poignant, with little to no levity which is appreciated given the story they tell, and with an interesting semi-twist at the end that leaves us on a cliffhanger and excited for Season 3, this is a very solid two-part episode and arguably one of the best Bad Batch has given us so far.

2023/06/26

We're near the end of Bad Batch's second season, and we've offered an episode that is pretty much a 20 minute establishing shot in Pabu, and then an episode that lives up to its name in Tipping Point. Pabu is probably a low point in the second half of the season not because it is a bad episode, but simply because not much happens and it is surrounded by pivotal moments in the story. Tipping Point, on the other hand, is excellent and gives us another half of a Crosshair story which I've come to

Two absolutely phenomenal episodes in a row, with a mixture of horror and monster movie madness in Metamorphosis and another brilliant treatment for Crosshair in The Outpost.

These next two episodes have the difficult task of following up on two of the best episodes in the series, but the Crossing starts out strong with some of the best character development we have seen within the Bad Batch yet. Unfortunately what could have been an interesting "bottle" episode gets mired down in an unneeded linkage to a secondary story about a group of youthful miners/prisoners ruled over by a terrible leader, and the conclusion of the two-parter struggles to mimic a fraction of the

We reach the midway point of Bad Batch's second season with a true high water mark and two of the best episodes of the show we have seen so far. We get an entertaining mix of political intrigue on Coruscant, but the Bad Batch themselves makes a fun and functional appearance in the latter half of the arc, alongside some real character growth and permanent changes to the Galaxy.

2023/05/22

Just before the midway point in the season, and Bad Batch still feels like it is trying to figure out what it wants to be in a post-Kamino world. Entombed is an Indiana Jones style adventure with a bit of heart, but it closes off the storylines it opens in almost the same breath, with a confusingly short climax. Tribe fares better, but for the most part wastes Kashyyyk and the return of a certain Wookie Padawan with low stakes enemies, although we do get introduced to the enjoyable Vanguard Axis

We basically get whiplash going from one of the best episodes of The Bad Batch so far to one of the most forgettable. The Solitary Clone is bordering on a masterpiece of story telling, while Faster is a rehash of the Phantom Menace's podracing scenes without the fun of podracing, salvaged only slightly by some fun guest stars.

2023/05/08

The first two episodes of Bad Batch Season 2 feel like a bit of a regression from the strong ending we experienced in Season 1. The stakes are low, the world building is present but not a central focus, and there is little in the way of interesting character progression. On the positive side, we do get to see some beautiful bits of a destroyed Serenno, as well as more of Admiral Rampart and the clones who still serve the Empire, which helps to elevate an otherwise middling two-part episode.BECOME A

And with this, we come to the end of Season 3 of the Mandalorian, and what a journey it has been! We wrap up the season on a high note with the conclusion to last week's semi-cliffhanger episode, neatly putting a bow on the main storyline that has been in progress all the way from Season 1. We wouldn't have been disappointed if this was a series finale instead of a seasonal one, as this episode brings it all together so neatly. With barely a moment of filler in the whole thing, we hit pretty much

The penultimate episode of Mando Season 3 is really more like Part 1 of the Finale, and it is a doozy! We waste no time being introduced to the man who has been pulling the strings behind all the weird occurrences this season, and that sets the tone for an episode that moves along at a lightning pace. Returning to Mandalore is of course not as easy as anyone suspects, but it gives us some of the best scenes of Season 3 in addition to some fantastic and much appreciated larger world building.

2023/04/11

Potentially the most divisive episode of the Mandalorian so far, fans are split on whether this is filler and a waste or time, or good character progressions with a fun throwback to a Clone Wars style episode done in live action. We find the show to be the latter, but we do disagree a bit on whether the shorter, single-episode runtime hurt the overall unfolding of the mystery. Cameos abound, and there are lots of little bits of worldbuilidng that make our time on Plazir-15 worthwhile! Let's jump
