The Blockade Runner Podcast Episode 9.5 – Revenge of the Sith GBA/DS

Show Notes:

This week’s episode features a discussion Ryan and John recorded last year for their Nintendo podcast (Nintendo Fun Club) about the Nintendo DS/Game Boy Advance game based on Revenge of the Sith. It’s a shorter episode and covers just that one topic, but we think the game is fun and worth revisiting. We’ll be back soon with a new episode of The Blockade Runner podcast, but we hope you’ll enjoy this .5 episode in the meantime.

The Blockade Runner Episode 8 – Rebels Finale Reactions

Show Notes:

Kevin, Dan, and John devote this entire episode to discussing the Star Wars Rebels season two finale, “Twilight of the Apprentice.” We share our favorite elements as well as some criticisms of this very special episode of Rebels, and we definitely delve deep into the major events from the show, so please don’t listen until you’ve watched at least once (though as we get into in the show, an episode this big probably requires at least two viewings).
