Prophecy, Destiny and Fate in Star Wars

Eye on Canon Podcast ·

2025/11/25

Claudia Gray of Team Luminous gave us this in Master & Apprentice: “Only through sacrifice of many Jedi will the Order cleanse the sin done to the nameless. The danger of the past is not past, but sleeps in an egg. When the egg cracks, it will threaten the galaxy entire. When the Force itself sickens, past and future must split and combine. A Chosen One shall come, born of no father, and through him will ultimate balance in the Force be restored.” In Revenge of the Sith, Yoda reminds us just how

2025/11/18

EP. 183The Last Order by Kwame Mbalia gives us a probing story of brainwashing, heroism and disillusionment, told through the backstories of Finn and Jannah before the events of the sequel trilogy. It also gives us a fun self-insert character and framing device, who knows more about the galactic tea-making industry than we knew we wanted, and pushes the needle a few inches forward in the timeline after The Rise of Skywalker! The YA novel is a must-read for fans of the Sequel era, so this week we

The Problem with Humans…

Eye on Canon Podcast ·

2025/11/04

EP. 182Canon storytelling often dances around the topic of humanocentric fascism – maybe it has other fish to fry? Or maybe it’s uncomfortable to write about? However, it’s been lurking in the background of Star Wars since the very beginning. This week we square it up, face-first, and chart the development of that lurking lore point in Legends, Canon and on screen.You can watch our episodes live every Monday at 5:30 PM PT, 8:30 PM ET at https://www.youtube.com/@Starwarsunderworld/streams Hosted by

Bring Back Legends….Characters to Canon

Eye on Canon Podcast ·

2025/10/28

EP. 181Ever since the Disney changeover, Legen…I mean EU fans have been clamouring for their favourite characters, storylines, factions and concepts to make their return to canon. Over a decade later, Thrawn is the only major example of the Legends-to-Canon pipeline, alongside some minor (and very minor) ones. This we look at what kinds of returns-to-story there could be, and offer some of our favourite examples.You can watch our episodes live every Monday at 5:30 PM PT, 8:30 PM ET at

EP. 179Clone Force 99 goes on a wild chase through the Galaxy, which leads to some fantastic exploration of their own motivations and worries. Bad Batch: Sanctuary by Lamar Giles is at once moving and exciting, a combination brought out masterfully by Marc Thompson’s stellar audiobook performance.

Canon Miscontinuity

Eye on Canon Podcast ·

2025/09/30

EP. 178We’ll admit it: canon contradictions can sometimes be hard to swallow. Of course, screen stories have overwritten details on paper a few times, perhaps the most famous example being Caleb Dume’s experience of Order 66 in the opening moments of The Bad Batch. And what about when one paper story seems to go against another, like the apparent discrepancies between Alex Segura’s Battle of Jakku and Chuck Wendig’s Aftermath Trilogy? How much do these inconsistencies really matter? And how has

Who Really Won the Clone Wars?

Eye on Canon Podcast ·

2025/09/23

EP. 177We all know that the real winner of the Clone Wars was one Sheev Palpatine aka Darth Sidious, at least from a narrative and character point of view. How about from an institutional perspective? Between the main combatants, the Republic and the Separatists, is it possible to claim a winner? If the Empire is the successor state to the Republic, then does that mean that the clones were ultimately victorious? Or how about the ties that the New Republic and even the Resistance had to the

EP. 175Did the Empire succeed the Republic? Did the First Order succeed the Empire? Does that mean the First Order succeeded the Republic? Real-world history abounds with examples of regime changes, successor states and sweeping constitutional amendments. How can they help us understand similar dynamics in Star Wars?

Do Jedi give Sunday Sermons?

Eye on Canon Podcast ·

2025/09/02

EP. 174Ritual, material, cultural adaptation, genuine faith: these are a few things that mark real-world communities defined by metaphysical beliefs, what we call “religions” nowadays. How well does Star Wars depict religions and their communities, at least analogously? Does it show widespread beliefs and practices, or confine them to a select few practitioners? When does it explore the relationship between the elites and the masses of a religious hierarchy? If a Jedi gives a Sunday sermon, do they

Small Characters who went Big

Eye on Canon Podcast ·

2025/08/26

EP. 173One of the nicest things about an extended canon – be it in streaming shows or in books and comics – is that it gives creatives more time to flesh out and expand the characters and character beats of the films. This expansion is particularly notable for characters who only have bit parts on the big screen, but then find a new lease in life in other media. For some of these examples, it's the fan reaction to a character or even a character design that prompts both creatives and

EP. 167The origins of Star Wars lie in Modesto, California, an All-American city in the San Joaquin Valley. While creatives from across the globe have made their mark on the Galaxy Far, Far Away, the franchise is first and foremost a piece of American pop culture. George Lucas used his platform and his imagination to reflect on the ins and outs, ups and downs of his own world, his own society, and his own country. Many others have followed, putting the good, bad, liberating and concerning aspects

EP 166Connections to Canada in Star Wars might be a bit obscure, but they’re there if you know where to look. Thankfully, half the members of this podcast hail from the Great White North, so we can spot plenty of references. From Naboo’s shimmering lakes and benevolent constitutional monarchy, to real-world creatives like Hayden Christensen, Deborah Chow and Pablo Hidalgo, Canada surely punches above its weight. On the Eve of Canada Day, we take a look at ways this land has inspired the Galaxy Far,
