After a few summer weeks away from the podcast, Ryan and John return to discuss Andor, Light and Magic, some summer reading, and the Lego Star Wars Summer Vacation special.
Author and journalist Alex Kane joins Ryan and John to discuss upcoming Star Wars video games including the Knights of the Old Republic remake, Jedi: Survivor, and the announced but still mysterious Amy Hennig and Ubisoft Star Wars games.
We open this week’s episode with a quick run down of the Star Wars books and comics Ryan’s been reading before spending the rest of the episode breaking down chapter 3 of The Book of Boba Fett.
Apologies for John’s echoey audio; my mic settings were off and my normally aggressively average audio quality is lower than usual this week.
We open this week’s episode by running through the recent High Republic Phase 2 announcements before spending the rest of the show gushing over how much we loved The Book of Boba Fett Chapter 2.
We catch up on the latest Star Wars publishing announcements including new non-High Republic novels for 2022, the conclusion of The War of the Bounty Hunters series, and Ghosts of Vader’s Castle. We also discuss Hasbro’s 2021 PulseCon announcements and Hayden Christensen’s possible appearance in more Disney+ projects.
We cover this Citizen Kane of video games, the Citizen Kane of anime shorts, and the Citizen Kane of Lego Halloween specials on this, the Citizen Kane of Star Wars podcasts.
Episode 190 features a lengthy discussion of John’s trip to Galaxy’s Edge, Bad Batch episodes 13 and 14, and some brief discussion of High Republic, Life Day cookbook, and video game news. As always, chapter markers are included if you’re only interested in specific topics.
Ryan is back from Batuu so he takes us through his experience at Galaxy’s Edge. We also have the same conversation about the toy industry we do everytime Hasbro announces new products, share our excitement for the recently announced Visions: Ronin novel, and of course break down Bad Batch episode 11, “Devil’s Deal.”
The Star Wars: Visions reveal is here and we’re super excited! We also get into the new High Republic book releases from last week and the latest episode of The Bad Batch. Finally Ryan updates us on The War of the Bounty Hunters and his upcoming trip to Batuu.
This week’s show kicks off with some chat about our recent Star Wars purchases and the latest High Republic announcements before we dig into J.J. Abrams’s reflection on the process of writing the sequel trilogy and our look at Bad Batch episode #5, “Rampage.”
