Episode LXIV - The Mandalorian Chapter 21: The Pirate

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2023/04/07

Chapter 21 ended up being a totally unexpected turn in this season's story and a ton of fun! If you love classic Star Wars, this episode is for you. We get stereotypical space-pirate enemies, inefficient Republic bureaucracy, Mandalorians showing why they are some of the most well-renowned fighters in the galaxy, a bunch of super fun cameos, a dastardly plot simmering under the surface, and even a good dose of tension right at the end! For the first time in a while, the hosts even slightly disagree

Chapter 20 is in the books, and man did we have fun with this one! The flashback in the middle of the episode is one of the high points for the series, and the story told of a day in the life at the Mandalorian covert is enjoyable as well, though with a weird lack of urgency given the situation. All in all, short but sweet with a good amount of character development for everyone's favorite warrior aunt, Bo Katan.Ahmed Best Interview:

We finally get an hour long episode, and it's a fun one! We take a break from Mando and Grogu for just a bit to catch up on how things are going with the New Republic, and there's a bit of a conspiracy afoot! The question is, who can we trust?

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2023/03/14

Chapter 18 is a ton of fun right off the bat, revisiting an old friend on Tatooine and helping to get us ready for an adventure to Mandalore. The plot moves along at a decent pace without feeling rushed, and the lore exposition given to use in this episode feels natural and well-done. Some items are even appropriately lampshaded, where in the past it may have been left up to the viewers to figure out the reasoning, which is a pleasant change and proves the showrunners have been listening to and

We're finally back on track and ready to talk about the Mandalorian's third season! We're a little bit divided on the first episode, but one thing we can both agree on is it was too short! Does Chapter 17 work as a good "table setting" episode to get everyone up to speed and let us know where everyone sits, or is it just a little bit too disjointed to stand on its own as a full episode?

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2023/03/06

Let's jump right into the two-part finale to Andor, which in our opinion ranks up there with Twilight of the Apprentice, The Wrong Jedi, and Siege of Mandalore as one of the best season/series finales of Star Wars TV we've ever seen! Two more incredible monologues, a climax that gives us chills just talking about it, great characters coming together on Ferrix, and Andor finally taking the turn we all knew he would in a way that feels earnest and sincere, all combine to make the last two episodes a

Episode LIX - Andor Episode 10: One Way Out

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2023/02/27

Truly a perfect episode in almost every facet, One Way Out is the highest point so far in Andor's first season. An episode that has almost everything you could want for the core story lines we've been following so far (except poor Cyril has has been left on the outside looking in for now), and topped of with two of the most incredible monologues we've ever heard, episode 10 is must watch TV for any fan of Star Wars.

Episode LVIII - Andor Episode 9: Nobody's Listening!

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2023/02/20

From this point on, Andor's first season hits its pace and never falters. The worst thing about this episode was that we both found it impossible to not immediately continue watching when we were done! Nobody's Listening sets up a strong conclusion to the season as all the pieces on the board are finally moving into place, and the slow burn of the early episodes is completely paid off.

If last episode was a transition, than this episode is the catalyst for the rest of Andor's first season. Big changes happening across the galaxy, from Ferrix to Coruscant, while Andor settles down in his new "home" of Narkina 5.

Episode LVI - Andor Episode 7: Announcement

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2023/01/23

Episode 7 serves as a transitional episode between Andor's first half of the season and the second, and as such we spend a large amount of time basically resetting characters to the new status quo. Political intrigue and jockeying for position has reach an all time high within the ISB, while both Cyril and Andor become cogs in the machine that is the Empire, albeit in different ways. The theme of the episode could be best described as "consequences" with Luthen pointing out that people suffering due

Episode LV - Andor Episode 6: The Eye

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2023/01/16

What an episode this turned out to be! All of the tension that has been built up in the previous episodes comes to a head, and the consequences for some characters turn out to be dire. A lot happens in this episode, with some subtle blink and you'll miss it foreshadowing about true character motivations and turning allegiances hidden in the action. The time spent building up these characters also pays off in spades when the powder keg that is Aldhani finally ignites, and even the Imperials get some

Episode LIV - Andor Episode 5: The Axe Forgets

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2023/01/09

In the middle episode of Andor's second story arc, we shift between the various story lines at lightning pace, bouncing between Ferrix, Coruscant, and Aldhani. Some inter-story conflict helps to drive home that point that we're racing towards what is sure to be a dramatic and violent culmination. This episode ratchets up the tension in a highly effective way, and leaves us on the edges of our seats by the end.

Episode LIII - Andor Episode 4: Aldhani

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2023/01/03

The second story arc in Andor starts off with an intertwining of a half dozen different stories, woven together with excellent writing and exceptional characterizations of both new and known faces. There isn't much action in this episode, but it lays the groundwork for rising tensions and works well as a sort of soft reset for multiple arcs, with Andor moving away from Ferrix, and Luthen and Syril returning to Coruscant, not to mention the heavy focus on the ISB story lines.

What an incredible climax to the first story arc in Andor! Action packed for a change, but missing none of the stellar dialogue and acting that we've come to expect. Story lines intersect, and everyone comes away from the encounter changed in dramatic ways.

2022/12/05

Episode 2 is here, and with it comes an expertly crafted bridge between the catalyst's of the first episode and the inevitable merging of all of the disparate character's story lines. Syril makes some progress (and a new friend), while Andor starts to really feel the pressure, and we get our first glance of the mysterious buyer who wants to meet him. While there's little in the way of action, the dialogue in this episode really shines, with a host of side characters who all feel like they play a

2022/11/28

Well after a long delay we are finally here to talk about Andor, and we could not be more excited! The show's initial episode immediately sets a tone for the series that differentiates it from typical Star Wars live action, with a heavy focus on dialogue driven drama, and it makes us care about a host of characters that for the most part are entirely unfamiliar. Without giving too much away, Andor starts off strong and shapes up to present a worthy prequel to one of our favorite Star Wars movies,

Episode XLIX - Tales of the Jedi, Ahsoka

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2022/11/16

We get to revisit one of our favorite characters, as Dave Filoni walks us through several pivotal moments in the life of Ahsoka. Episode 1 tells a tale of a mother and daughter that we wish had explored that dynamic more deeply, while episode 2 pulls on the heartstrings with an incredible look into Anakin pushing Ahsoka to be the best. Episode 3 retells a familiar tale with some details changed, but for better or worse? Let's dive in!BECOME A PATRON:

Episode XLVIII - Tales of the Jedi, Dooku

2022/11/07

We jump back into the world of Star Wars animation with the newly release Tales of the Jedi shorts. A fantastic look at a character whose motivations have never been truly explored on screen, Justice, Choices, and the Sith Lord paint a haunting picture of the former Jedi, Count Dooku. Is this Clone Wars Season 7.5? How much does it add to our canon knowledge of the character (or does it contradict it directly)? Can Dave Filoni be trusted with serious, sometimes bleak material (the answer is yes)

Episode XLVII - Revenge of the Sith, Part 3

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2022/10/25

And finally we reach the conclusion of our trilogy, not just of Revenge of the Sith but of the prequels as a whole! And what a way to go out, with easily the strongest of the prequel movies putting on a clinic in how to end an arc. We have some minor issues with the portrayal of the transformation from Anakin to Vader, mirroring issues we had with the middle third of the movie zipping past information that could have improved understanding of character motivations, but outside of that the finale is
