Join us to wrap up the rest of Maul's journey in the Clone Wars, from the Son of Dathomir comic run through the finale of Season 7. This should hopefully drop us off nicely right before the start of Shadow Lord! Let's jump in!

Are you excited for the new Maul show, but you only know him as the cool villain who got cut in half in The Phantom Menace? Did you watch the Clone Wars show so long ago you can't quite remember the details? Well good news, everyone! We're back with another Essential Episodes primer to get you back up to speed. Part one begins with his "resurrection" and ends with him having conquered Mandalore (for a brief time), so let's jump in!

Well, perhaps sooner than we thought but it is official: Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down and being replaced by Lynwen Brennan and Dave Filoni. This news has obviously caused shockwaves in the Star Wars fandom, with a number of people asking whether or not Dave Filoni relies too much on his Rebels and Clone Wars characters, and if he can be trusted to expand the universe as opposed to making it feel small. We've got some objective data to support our thoughts on that. We'll also be breaking down the interview that Kathleen Kennedy did with Deadline, which has a ton of great info about the future of Star Wars and her experience leading a galaxy far, far away.

With the recent news that Kathleen Kennedy will be stepping down as head of Lucasfilm, to be replaced by Dave Filoni, we thought we'd take a look back at his history and address some of the criticisms that we have seen towards the move. In particular, we'll be covering the assertions that Dave Filoni doesn't respect the EU or stories that came before, and that he tends to focus on characters from the animated TV shows to the detriment of wider audiences' experience.

In what will probably be our second to last episode of the year, we want to gather up and present all the known information about the Star Wars projects we are expecting to see (or hear a lot about) in 2026. This includes The Mandalorian and Grogu, Ahsoka Season 2, Maul: Shadow Lord, and Star Wars: Starfighter. Some we know a lot about, and some very little, but it's all here. Let's jump in!

After another delay we're finally back to close out Clone Wars' fourth season, and what an incredible couple episodes to end on. While Revenge is widely considered one of the strongest episodes of the show, we actually find that we might prefer Brothers a little more due to the strength of the voice acting performance given by Sam Witwer.

We're back with the first two episodes of the Season Four finale arc, and boy are they some good ones! Dooku takes his revenge on Mother Talzin and the Nightsisters, and Asajj Ventress finally learns what it means to be independent for the first time. Let's jump in!

We're going to dig into all the news about the canceled Star Wars project, The Hunt for Ben Solo, including the timeline and people who were involved, as well as the potential story. We'll also talk about Kutch's time at SPACECON San Antonio and get some news from the front lines of Star Wars fandom. Let's jump in!

Is The Box really a top 25 episode in all of Clone Wars? Do all Clone Wars fans hate Jar Jar, the Martez sisters, and Droid episodes? These questions and more, answered on this weeks episode of Beneath Twin Suns! And also we talk about Crisis on Naboo and Revenge of the Sith Anakin making an appearance. Let's jump in!

Another fantastic arc in Season 4, this time starting with Deception. Obi-Wan goes deep undercover as the Mandalorian bounty hunter Rako Hardeen, and the Jedi keep too many secrets from Anakin, with an introductory set of episodes that is surprisingly strong even when taken as standalones.

Lux Bonteri and Pre Vizsla return, and we get our first introduction to Bo-Katan as well! Big things happening for just a single stand alone episode, plus we talk a little bit about the trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu. Let's jump in!

We're back from our early September break and returning with another very strong arc, the Slaves of the Republic (or Zygerian Slavers) arc, based on a 6-part comic written by Henry Gilroy and published by Dark Horse. This arc is special because we get to two things that are very rare in Star Wars: Obi-Wan truly at a loss for how to save people, and Anakin acting like James Bond. Let's jump in!

We're back, just before our two-week hiatus, with Plan of Dissent and Carnage of Krell! These episodes very impressively serve their purpose capping off conclusion of the Umbara arc, setting a new standard for the quality of stories Clone Wars can tell and giving us some of the finest voice acting in the series so far from Dee Bradley Baker.

We've finally reached one of the best and most pivotal arcs in all of the Clone Wars: Darkness on Umbara. Not only visually stunning but also some of the best writing we've ever gotten for the Clones and their infamous temporary leader, Pong Krell, the Umbara arc represents a new high water mark for quality in the show.

Potentially hitting the low point for the Clone Wars, this two episode pair focuses almost entirely on C-3PO and R2-D2, and could be completely skipped over without losing anything for the larger Star Wars storylines. While they introduce some interesting Willow inspired magic and creatures, they are never mentioned again in canon and so, by the end, it's like the story never even happened. Let's jump in!
