When Disney Plus Day was announced, I got the impression that the special look at Star Wars footage about Boba Fett was going to be all about the new series. Instead, we were treated to a documentary of sorts. A roughly 20 minute 21 second look back from Boba Fett's design stages to where he is now where he's so popular that his demise in a Sarlaac pit has been retconned and he now has his own show debuting in December. There are pieces of information we either don't remember or never heard in the

2021/11/12

Star Wars: Visions released all nine episodes on the same September day and Steve has been taking his time watching one at a time. Episode Four is, in his opinion, a return to efficiency and efficacy in storytelling, much like his feelings on "The Duel." Once again, the soundtrack is as much a star of the show as the characters, and is available to consider on Spotify for Kevin Penkin's 10 tracks. It may not be Steve's favorite (though give him some time and he may change his mind), but it's rumored

The new month brought a new trailer with it. Our first look at The Book of Boba Fett came across social media on Monday morning, November 1st, 2021. Steve doesn't have perfect recall on everything he sees and saw the trailer for the first time on his phone. So he missed a few things that he had to catch at the computer. That meant deep dives through Star Wars canon past, Expanded Universe articles, and theories about planets that look like Tatooine. An announcement about the October giveaway will

Star Wars: Visions released all nine episodes on the same September day and Steve has been taking his time watching one at a time. Episode Three is a twist on the twin dynamic, with the "Leia and Luke" of this short film being powerful dark side Force users. Trigger, Inc. pushes against Star Wars boundaries with the episode. If anime is your favorite style of animation and story-telling, then you'll probably be left wanting more. If, like Steve, anime isn't your bag, you might find yourself heading

Disney Plus started off October with a Star Wars special. A holiday special. No, not that one. In 2020 there was a Christmas themed LEGO special and now in 2021, it's Halloween's turn. Terrifying Tales "brick-or-treated" us with a trio of animated shorts wrapped together because Poe Dameron and BB-8 crash landed near Vader's castle on Mustafar. A creepy caretaker, sneaky protocol droid, Jabba's cousin, zombie battle droids, and a tech savvy kid named Dean join the antics in the main story, while Ben

2021/10/05

Star Wars: Visions got off to an inspiring start with the first episode, but LucasFilm let Studio Colorido take Tatooine to a rock opera. That might be oversimplifying things, but Tatooine Rhapsody does feature some very different music from what we're used to hearing in the Star Wars universe and there was a tragedy in the making when a Hutt got hunted down and taken from his misfit band of bandmates. Steve recaps this short episode, tells listeners how to find the Filmmaker Focus featurettes, and

When Star Wars: Visions was first announced, it didn't seem like my cup of tea. By the time the Ronin in Episode 1 took his first sip of tea, my plans had changed. The Duel manages to be the perfect blend of Star Wars and anime that was advertised and imagined by LucasFilm. Steve recaps the episode and adds his thoughts on what makes it great.

Are they really The Bad Batch? The show has billed the team as a bunch of misfits and mistakes, but it turns out they've been engineered by Nala Se. When the series started, it wasn't clear what direction Dave Filoni, Jennifer Corbett, and Brad Rau were taking the show, but now that a season two has been greenlit and a cloning scientist has been captured, it's starting to look like there really is a plan to tie things together with either The Mandalorian or perhaps the sequel trilogy.

It also keeps you entertained and informed (at least, that's our goal). Steve's show notes discuss Sebastian Stan, Marvel's big boss, a bad batch, Jedi relatives, Jar Jar Binks, courageous caravans, video games, and the prospect of holding a real lightsaber in our hands.

We talk about what we liked and what we'd like to see in season three. We contemplate the importance of bringing Grogu back to the show, but in a way that makes sense and how excited we still are for more Star Wars content.

If you're wondering why the hosts discuss him here, then perhaps you need to go watch the season two finale of The Mandalorian first before playing this podcast. This is the one where Andy starts but doesn't finish and Tim finishes what he didn't start. Steve does some late night editing and corrections and tries holding back tears of joy. Din Djarin and Grogu share a moment. Boba Fett takes his rightful palace...I mean, place. There's so
