Every Saga has a Beginning.... The Phantom Menace even has a documentary called "The Beginning" and we are taking the time to talk all about it! Not only is it a well crafted documentary in and of itself but it gives us a fly on the wall view of many key moments during the production of the first Star Wars Prequel. Casting choices, production problems, and technical impossibilities are only the beginning! Like poetry, it rhymes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kylo Ren is many things; the son of Rebel heroes, nephew to a Jedi Master, and grandson to the most infamous dark side enforcer of all time.

Rey's journey is the cornerstone of the Sequel Trilogy so we're taking time to discuss our favorite aspects of who she is as a character! Starting as a scavenger on Jakku and ending up as a guardian of the future of the Jedi is an impressive journey in and of itself, one that is perfectly enhanced by John Williams' beautiful theme for her! Be with us as we dive into our favorite reasons for why we love Rey!

Star Wars: Legacy by Madeleine Roux is the new book telling us the story of Rey and Leia after the events of The Last Jedi, exploring how each of them can move forward together in a Master/Apprentice relationship. For a book this good we had to get our buddy Greg "EyeOnCanon" back on the show to break it all down! We explore the journeys each character goes through, the themes, and even some surprises along the way!

The Ahsoka Season 2 Teaser has FINALLY dropped and we can't wait to talk about it! The stakes are bigger, the battles more epic, and the journey calls to us. We talk about everything from fascinating flashbacks, dynamic space battles, the misty return of Dathomir, and the quest to stop all wars. So the question remains; are you a Jedi, or not?

Oh muy muy we love you! This episode is all about the most famous Gungan in the Star Wars universe, Jar Jar Binks! We discuss many of the aspects we enjoy about this character; from the lovable klutz and loyal friend to the embodiment of innocence in the Prequel Trilogy. Jar Jar may not be the biggest star of the saga but he has left an unmistakable mark on the galaxy far far away....

The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. We dive into the weaver of the dark side web, Palpatine himself! Karl and Jason explore the goals Palpatine had, the tools he used to achieve those goals, and what makes Palpatine one of the most compelling villains in movie history. Let's just hope we are strong enough to resist his temptation of UNLIMITED POWER!!!

We complete the Original Trilogy Deleted Scenes with a look at Return of the Jedi! There's an extended opening sequence, a humanizing sub plot for Jerjerrod, a cacophony of unused pilot footage, and more! As we review these scenes Karl and Jason throw on their editor's hats, weigh the benefits of each scene and make the choice to Keep or Cut!

The Deleted Scenes of The Empire Strikes Back are a collection of alternate takes, extended sequences, and small editions to what has ultimately become the Perfect Star Wars Film! Karl and Jason once again put on their editor's hats and review each of these scenes. We dig out the good nuggets, important moments and then make the decision to Keep or Cut!
