Episode XLVI - Revenge of the Sith, Part 2

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2022/10/24

We follow up the cinematic masterpiece that is the opening act of Revenge of the Sith with a much more exposition based middle of the movie. The plot moves along, sometimes too quickly for our taste, but we start to see Sidious's plot come together more overtly, much to his and our joy. Some fantastically fun acting from the movie's villain gives us some of Star Wars' most quotable lines, and we get some great character moments from Anakin and Obi-Wan too! Let's dive in!BECOME A PATRON:

Episode XLV - Revenge of the Sith, Part 1

2022/09/12

We've reached the finale of the prequels, and it is a good one! Revenge of the Sith opens with an extended and flawless rescue sequence which showcases many of the best parts of Star Wars: Fun banter, incredible VFX, amazing sound design, fantastic villains, and humor and emotion in measured doses to complement it all!

Episode XLIV - Attack of the Clones, Part 2

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2022/08/29

Let's wrap up the second of the prequels before we head out on a month long hiatus. The latter half of the movie suffers from the same ails as the first, with an inconsistent and poorly written love story dragging down an otherwise stellar tale of Obi-Wan tracking down the bad guys. We get a phenomenal introduction to Count Dooku, some fun scenes with Jango Fett, and have an all around great time on Geonosis, where the Clone Wars finally begin. So much to talk about, so let's jump in!BECOME A

Episode XLIII - Attack of the Clones, Part 1

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2022/08/15

We pick up 10 years after The Phantom Menace, and Anakin has grown up to be quite... something. A phenomenal opening act, spoiled only by some honestly creepy romantic dialogue that is extremely hard to overlook. Coruscant shines as the main focal point of the first quarter of the movie, and explorations of Naboo and Kamino are enjoyable as well. Obi-Wan as a detective is a great story device, but the romantic plot between Anakin and Padme feels forced. Let's jump in and see how we feel about the

2022/08/10

Let's wrap up the first of the prequels today, in our inaugural episode of a "mature" BTS - After Dark! Will we get carried away discussing things that have absolutely nothing to do with Star Wars? For sure! But do we both come away with a greater appreciation for The Phantom Menace after this rewatch? Also yes! Jar Jar and young Anakin may be a bit much for the adults, but there are some major things to love about this movie, including a fantastic climax and brilliant world building.BECOME A

2022/07/25

At the time is was released, it was a Star Wars movie much maligned by older fans who were expecting a more serious adventure. For many of the younger fans, however, it was an exciting and fun expedition into just how different Star Wars could be when Lucas took it in an entirely new direction. Is Jar Jar too jarring? Does the CGI hold up? Does the first of the prequels deserve to be in the bottom three of most people's Star Wars rankings? Let's talk about these questions and more in part 1 of our

Episode XL - Obi-Wan Kenobi, Episode 6

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2022/07/18

Now this is how you end a show! Kenobi wraps up on a high note, with one of the best duels we've seen in Star Wars, a foreshadowed redemption arc for one character, and a hopeful future for all. Lots of parallels here to other Star Wars media to discuss, in particular the sequels and some legends ideas, and we're not entirely opposed to seeing some more of these characters again.

Episode XXXVIII - Obi-Wan Kenobi, Episode 4

Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast ·

2022/06/27

This seems to have been the community's least favorite episode of Kenobi so far, but we found a ton to like for such a short episode. A little bit of the typical Star Wars cheesiness offsets one of the darker plots, with an incredible setting and some fun easter eggs, but once again some editing issues rear their ugly head.

And this is the episode we've been waiting for! A fantastic ride from start to finish, we have difficulty finding things we don't like about it! Newly introduced characters who are cool, sweet callbacks to Clone Wars era friends, and some of the best villainous acting we've seen so far combine to make this our favorite episode let.

2022/05/23

Well, we've finally reached the conclusion of the sequel trilogy, and for the first time, the hosts really disagree on where they fall on a movie. Kutch found himself hating RoS even more upon the latest rewatch, whereas Merc has softened his opinion slightly. Why do they keep introducing named characters who serve no purpose? Why do they create needlessly complex situations that get solved by random chance? What exactly is in some of these deleted scenes that could have helped the movie gain some

Ever want to know what light speed skipping feels like? All you have to do is watch Rise of Skywalker and you can experience it for yourself as the movie blows through plot points and settings at lightspeed pace! JJ Abrams, in his second visit to the Star Wars universe, sets up a lot of great scenes but seems to feel the need to push style over substance in too many of them. Where did they get the materials to make so many Star Destroyers? How does light speed skipping even work? Why did Rey run

We discuss the tactical mistakes that abound in the opening scene, debate whether or not the decisions made by the characters portray them as unlikable, remark on the beautiful worlds and locations invented by the movie, and disagree on whether Leia should have saved herself with the force.

Opinions differ on whether these movies deserve to be held up in the hallowed halls of Star Wars canon, but it is our duty to discuss them none the less. Our overall opinions on the sequels may differ, but we both were able to find some things we really loved and enjoyed about TFA, as well as some area where we feel they could have told a better story.
