Jessica and Hunter of The Purrgil Pod dive deep into an episode filled with dubious spycraft, ruthless ambition, and highly questionable romance. The hosts tackle the questionable logic behind Cassian Andor’s new cover identity as "Varian Skye," a tailor who apparently believes a fancy jacket is enough to bypass galactic facial recognition.

Buckle up, rebels! This week, we're diving headfirst into Andor Season 2's "Sagrona Teema Solom," and we explore Andor's gritty realism. Think muddy Yavin 4 survival tips (got any moldy meal bars?), Imperial audits hitting a little too close to home (thanks, Tony Gilroy!), and an unsettling lieutenant trying to hit on Bix. But don't worry, there's also space rock-paper-scissors played with "Roski rules" and a "silly space monster" cameo to keep

This is the stuff that dreams are made of! Hunter and Jessica made a pilgrimage to Rancho Obi-Wan in Petaluma, CA. After watching from afar for so long, we finally made it. It was amazing, wonderful, interesting, overwhelming and an overall incredible experience. Worth a Saturday trip for sure! If you've read this far and you've never been, I'd plan a trip immediately!

Well, here we are at the end of The Acolyte. It was a heck of a ride but aren't we right back right where we started, with the twins swapping place, minus a truck load of Jedi and add in a Senate review? It was a strange path to get here and I'm sorry we didn't get to spend more time with the Jedi we lost. Indara, Kelnacca, Torbin, Sol, Yord, Jecki.... I will miss them.

Who is the Acolyte? Darryl, our amazing editor, has a HOT TAKE on just who he thinks is the Acolyte and I must say, it is plausable. With all the "captain obvious" writing so far, to pull a fast one would be the best redemption. Hunter and Jessica sit down to discuss this episode, and a few other Star Wars related things along the way. Just remember, it all goes back to Purrgils!

It doesn't take long for the parent trap to fall apart. I don't think Qimir was confused for a second but it did take Sol a moment or two. Thanks to Bazil and Pip! So, who is being taught and who is being corrupted? Which side is right? Which side is wrong?

Well, here we are at Night. Nothing good happens at 3am. Nothing. This is why everyone is just doomed right from the start. It's a Jedi shish-ka-bob of the worst kid, with a Parent Trap at the end and a mole/tracker dude who can sniff out the difference. If the identity of the "stranger" wasn't the mystery, what is? Yet again leaving us with more questions than answers, this episode is not easy to swallow. What is so bad that Sol can't bring himself to share? In other

Speaking of dead, RIP Kelnacca. I so wanted to see more of you! And all of this ends with the classic cliff-hanger that we've come to love in episodic Star Wars.

Nonetheless, we uncovered thrilling details about Osha, Mae, and the Mothers on Brendock. From a new ceremony to the extraordinary powers of the twins, it was an episode packed with surprises. The themes of friendship, betrayal, and the characters' pursuit of their own destinies kept us glued to the screen. In the end, Osha sets a course
