Howdy, spacefarers! Apologies for the delay in posting—September got away from me. My goal is to publish at least once a month, but life had other plans. Luckily, I convinced the wonderful Sydney to join me and share her thoughts on the latest addition to the Star Wars Disneyverse! It's been a while since The Acolyte aired its last episode. By now, you probably know the show was canceled. If I had recorded this earlier, that news might have been a surprise. However, given the backlash, it's not shocking. At the time of writing, the show holds a 4.1 on IMDb, and the fan and critic ratings on Metacritic are split—3.2 from fans and 67 from critics. Despite the negative press, I urge you to watch The Acolyte and form your own opinion. If you don’t like it, let me know why! That’s more than my co-host, AJ, who hasn’t even watched the show but still decided it sucked. What’s he basing that on? Probably all the controversy surrounding the creator and the show's lukewarm reception. At least give it a chance and see for yourself rather than relying on hearsay. Rewatching the first episode, I noticed a lot of foreshadowing I missed the first time around. For example, Mae’s black eyes really creeped me out during the second watch. Also, it’s fascinating to see how the creators attempted to expand the Star Wars universe just 100 years before The Phantom Menace. Unfortunately, many elements feel familiar, such as the Neimoidians on the cargo ship where Osha, our protagonist, works as a mechanic. Of course, more CGI shots of Coruscant were included—because what Star Wars property would be complete without it? As much as I understand that Coruscant is central to the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Temple, I wish Disney didn’t stick to their 80/20 formula for Star Wars. It means we’re seeing a lot of the same things to keep fans happy. This “safe” approach has been a critique since The Force Awakens—where a young, poor individual from a desert planet embarks on a journey, hops on the Millennium Falcon, meets Han Solo and Chewbacca, and destroys a giant space station. We’ve seen this before! While there are new characters, there’s still so much unexplored in the Star Wars universe, including planets and biomes that deserve screen time. Sigh... I guess we should be thankful we’re still getting new Star Wars movies, shows, and content. You don’t always get what you love, but sometimes, you’ve got to love what you get.

Howdy friends! Another episode in the bag. Of course, my lovely brother was kind enough to grace me with his presence. This episode was mid. Not terrible, not great. You can definitely see the writers are beginning to drag out some of the plotlines. Yes, this does help create more mystery. However, it annoyed me more than it intrigued me. You have Osha and Mae. One is trained as a Jedi but doesn't make it. The other is trained by something. Is "The Stranger" (Qimir) a Sith or an Acolyte? What is an Acolyte? Not sure if we're going to find the answer. This episode is broken up into thirds. Osha and Mae have swapped places. Mae, disguised as Osha, is now with Sol. Osha, disguised as Mae, is taken by Qimir aka "The Stranger" (according to Wookiepedia) and is now on an "unknown planet." Master Vernestra leaves Coruscant with another cohort of Jedi to find Sol and his team, who were supposed to bring in Mae. All the while, Sol and Mae are onboard the ship with the tracker. Shortly after they take off, Mae has the opportunity to kill Sol, but he eventually discovers her. He then binds her, and they jump to hyperspace and return to Brendok. At the same time, Master Vernestra arrives at Khofar. She begins to unravel what happened here. We don't really learn much in this episode. The best parts were with Osha and Qimir. We learn why his armor could temporarily nullify a lightsaber. Other than that, we ended pretty much as we started. I'm distracted, so I'll stop rambling. -Luca Connect with Us: Join us on ⁠Discord⁠Tweet us ⁠@SWRewatchPod⁠ on TwitterSubscribe on ⁠YouTube⁠Subscribe on ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠Subscribe on ⁠Spotify #Podcast #Rewatch #StarWars #EpisodeVI #TeachOrCorrupt #Mystery #Jedi #Sith #Osha #Mae #Qimir #TheStranger #Wookiepedia #Vernestra #Coruscant #Brendok #Khofar

Howdy, Spacefarers! Welcome to another episode of the Star Wars Rewatch Podcast! Today, we're diving into another exciting episode of The Acolyte, and once again, we're mixing up the order. Despite this, the episodes we've covered so far have been some of the best in the series. Episode Highlights: Friends Become Enemies, Enemies Become Friends: This episode is packed with intense action and surprising twists. While the show has its flaws, the action scenes are a definite highlight that keep us entertained. Avoiding Spoilers & Reviews: I'm steering clear of other reviews and critiques of The Acolyte until I've seen the entire season. This way, I can share my genuine thoughts without any external influence. Dafne Keen's Role: I was thrilled to see Dafne Keen, known for her role as Wolverine's daughter in Logan, in the show! She plays Jecki, who forms an interesting friendship with Osha. Spectacular Lightsaber Fights: The lightsaber battles in this episode are top-notch, surpassing even some of the iconic scenes in Ahsoka, including the one featuring Hayden Christensen. The combat choreography is exceptional for a TV show. I won't give away any more details to avoid spoilers, but the episode's action scenes are definitely worth watching! Thanks for tuning in!

Howdy, My Fellow Spacefarers! Thank you for being patient as we work on releasing our episodes. We appreciate our 22 subscribers on YouTube and many more on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other podcast platforms. Episode Order & Highlights: We're doing things a little out of order here. Why? Well, there are no rules in podcasting! Also, episode four of The Acolyte has been the best by far. Series Progress & Personal Insights: The series is beginning to pick up speed. Yes, we will go back and record episodes for the ones we missed. I've been avoiding other content and media to keep my opinions unbiased. I've seen some overwhelmingly negative opinions on Reddit, but also some strong counterarguments. The sense of mystery in the show is captivating. It makes you wonder who is telling the truth. Is it the Jedi? Mae? Sol? Qimir? We'll have to watch and see. Standout Moments & Impressions: The standout moment in this episode is the reveal of the dark warrior with the red lightsaber to the Jedi. What an entrance! It was a definite supervillain introduction, reminiscent of Ian McKellen's Magneto in the X-Men franchise. The character's design, with jagged teeth, is very threatening and adds to the mystery. I'm looking forward to the next episode and revisiting the previous ones for a deeper dive into hidden details. Thanks for listening!

Special Edition Episode: Sydney's Brilliance This episode is a special edition inspired by Sydney's idea. That's right, SYDNEY'S BRILLIANCE created this episode! We discuss and vote for our favorite sidekicks, both furry and droid. Sydney Howdy, Friends! It's been a while! Sorry for the delay. Since Ahsoka wrapped, we've been on a bit of a hiatus. The intro above was written by Sydney. I had some other thoughts on how this episode might go down. AJ had a baby, and my brother has been busy, so I've invested in new equipment that will allow them to record episodes remotely. Look forward to those in the future! In the meantime, Sydney came up with a great idea to discuss her favorite sidekick characters. Of course, I agreed! She wanted to talk about her favorite furry friends, Chewbacca and Wicket. Since Ahsoka wrapped, I've also been catching up on The Clone Wars and Rebels. I mentioned on the podcast that I hadn't watched them when they were new. While I'm still not the biggest fan of the animation style, it has improved over time, and the stories and characters have become more complex. I'm now well into season three of Rebels and deeply regret not watching it before Ahsoka. While Ahsoka isn't the main focus, her appearances are standout moments. I'm specifically thinking of the time she rescues Kanan and Ezra from two Inquisitors by herself. Ahsoka is truly a badass. As a result of watching Rebels, Sydney has become a fan of C1-10P, aka "Chopper." She often mimics Chopper's sounds, which always makes me laugh. When I ask her to repeat them, she refuses. So, we decided to choose between R2-D2 and C1-10P as our favorite droid sidekicks. We posted a poll on our YouTube community tab and read the results aloud. If you haven't voted yet, please visit the community tab and do so. We also posted another poll for a future episode idea. Check out the community tab for more details! Thanks for listening!

Wow. This Episode Was Tough on Production! Was it fun to sit down and record with my brother? Of course, it was. But was it fun to edit out all the times the video went black during recording? Not at all. Ahsoka Finale & Reflections: Ahsoka is finally over! Some fans are happy, while others are not. I understand both perspectives. Now that I'm in season five of The Clone Wars, I can see the changes in Ahsoka's character development over time. No longer is she the hot-headed apprentice of Anakin Skywalker. She's evolving into a Padawan with her own views on the war and the Jedi Order's role in it. Her changing perspective becomes clear during the four-episode arc on Onderon. Here, the Jedi support a local insurgency instead of committing galactic navy resources to liberate the planet. The show boldly uses the term "terrorism" to describe the rebels' actions. Anakin supports the idea of using terrorism to free Onderon, but Yoda and the Jedi Council reject this approach. Instead, they decide to supply weapons that only target droids, not civilians. Ahsoka feels uneasy and isolated, with no master or mentor to confide in. There's also a hint of romance between her and an ex-Separatist, adding to her internal conflict. These nuanced character developments are missing in Ahsoka. I found a video that criticizes Dave Filoni, and I agree with many of the points made. The series is best appreciated if you've seen The Clone Wars and Rebels, as it isn't accessible to viewers unfamiliar with Ahsoka's story. The video also compares recent Star Wars shows to Andor, noting that Andor stands out because it tells a compelling story even without the Star Wars setting. In contrast, Ahsoka, The Book of Boba Fett, and Obi-Wan Kenobi rely heavily on established characters and fan service, limiting their storytelling risks. Overall, this episode and Ahsoka as a whole were just okay. What did you think of the show? Did you love it or hate it? In my opinion, the opposite of love isn't hate; it's indifference. After watching seasons one and two of The Mandalorian, I felt indifferent. I didn't watch The Book of Boba Fett until after season three of The Mandalorian, realizing I'd missed important story elements that left me confused.

Howdy, Spacefarers! Good to hear from you again. We have returned for the final two episodes of Ahsoka. My brother Mike has joined us once again. In this episode, we explore whether Ahsoka's bold gambit to travel the galaxy in the belly of a star whale pays off. We also learn how Ezra has been faring since being stranded with his arch-enemy, Grand Admiral Thrawn, and a violent group of bandits for several years. Do our heroes manage to reunite and band together to foil Thrawn's plans? Find out in this episode of the podcast! Thank you for listening!

Here We Are: Re-recording the Podcast Episode I admit, I messed up. Whoops. Moving on. Despite my mistake, I'm grateful for having re-watched this episode, mainly because of Hayden Christensen's reprisal as Anakin. I mentioned during the episode and will reiterate here: my man still has the moves. It didn't look like they used a stunt double at all! Comparing Christensen's performance to Ewan McGregor's, there's a noticeable difference. Granted, there's an age gap between the two. However, McGregor looked tired on screen, while Christensen, despite Anakin being dead, looked alive and energetic in his portrayal. Unfortunately, while his performance stood out, young Ahsoka's did not. Nothing against Arianna Greenblatt—she was great as Sasha in the Barbie movie. While she kind of acts like a brat in this episode, it's more likely a reaction to the dialogue she's given. Christensen also struggled with some of the poorly written lines. For many, Star Wars is the only film they've seen him in, and his delivery of George Lucas's lines didn't always help. This episode was alright. Not great, not terrible. If it wasn't obvious that the star whales would be used to jump to hyperspace to follow Morgan and her goons to Peridea, then you must have been watching a different show. What did you think of the episode? Let us know in the comments. Thanks for listening!

As I write this, I'm re-watching Part VI of Ahsoka. Upon reflection, I realized we recorded the wrong episode first. The last episode published covered Parts III and IV, but Sydney and I just recorded Part VI for some reason. Needless to say, we'll have to record another episode soon, or I can delay posting this one until a few days after the next one is published. I forgot to take notes and can't remember the exact order of events. Whether I remember all of it or not, it was still a very good episode. You'll hear which part I found most compelling, and I'm sure it was your favorite part too. We mostly followed the events of the episode as they occurred. It's intriguing to see Morgan and her goons arrive at the Nightsister temple, where the Great Mothers are waiting with yet another star map. I wonder if these maps are an essential part of Dathomiri culture or just a plot device. We briefly discuss the motivations of Baylan Skoll. We know he survived the purges of Order 66, but he harbors no love for the Old Republic, the Jedi Order, or the Empire. He mentions to Shin that he's trying to break the cycle of history, which raises the question: why help the Imperial Remnant? Didn't the Empire just lose the war? Yes, Thrawn is their best hope of challenging the New Republic, despite its strained state. I'm very curious to see how Skoll's story unfolds. The same goes for his apprentice—will she follow her master to the end or forge her own path? Give this episode a listen and share your thoughts. I thought it was really good. What did you think?

Greetings, Spacefarers! Thank you for tuning into another episode of The Star Wars Re-Watch Podcast. My brother Mike and I just watched Part IV of Ahsoka titled "Fallen Jedi." Thanks to patiently enduring the previous episode, we get to see a lot of action featuring Shin and Baylan in this one. Previously, Huyang suggested that Ahsoka be more flexible when teaching Sabine. In turn, Sabine gets her chance to face off against Shin once more to prove if she's up to snuff. I'm sure you're all aware that Ray Stevenson passed away in May, almost three months before Ahsoka aired. That being said, we should all be grateful for the intensity he brings to the roles he takes. His portrayal of a not Jedi/not Sith character is rather intriguing. Since Baylan and his apprentice survived the Order 66 purges, I'm curious how his perception of the Republic and Jedi Council shaped his worldview. I am still making my way through the Clone Wars series. Young Ahsoka is proving to be a cunning and competent padawan under the tutelage of Anakin's unorthodox "field" training. I know that Ahsoka abandoned the Jedi Order when she felt their pursuit of war with the Separatists made the Jedi Council complicit in all the death and destruction. Does Baylan feel the same way? Does supporting Thrawn potentially make him a Sith if Vader and Emperor Palpatine are dead? It's very curious to see who they might cast as Baylan if he does not survive the series. Thanks for listening. What are your thoughts on the series so far?

Howdy, friends. I've had a lot of time to think about this episode, and it doesn't get better after re-watching. The SFX for the fighters are disappointing—lame and unoriginal looking. This episode of Ahsoka feels like filler. We don't learn anything new that the audience couldn't deduce in the first few minutes of viewing. To quote my brother Mike, "It's storytelling 101."

Well, here we are, folks. Please join me in welcoming back my brother Mike to the podcast. Was he banned? I'm going to go on record and say "no." Regardless of the reason, we have another special edition of the podcast for you today. Today, Mike and I will be discussing our experience with the sequel to the hugely popular video game Jedi: Fallen Order. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I was so wrong for not playing the game upon release. As I write this, I'm trying to come up with a reason why not. The only thing that comes to mind is Cal Kestis. In my mind, I backburnered the game because I didn't know the characters and didn't want to get to know them. Either I thought they were somehow related to Clone Wars or Rebels, and I didn't think either of those shows was for me at the time. I was wrong. Having spent almost eighty hours with Cal, Greeze, BD-1, Merrin, and Cere, their second adventure far exceeds their first in almost every way. The gameplay was not so much an improvement but an expansion of the mechanics that were already good. In the previous game, you have a double-bladed detachable lightsaber. The natural expansion of the combat system would be to allow Cal to wield dual sabers independently. The developers at Respawn did just that. What about a cross-guard saber like Kylo Ren? Why not? Blaster and saber? Holy shit! Now they have taken the gameplay to a completely new level. Of course, the combat wouldn't be complete without expanding Cal's Force powers. Upon my second playthrough, I realized confusion, mass slam, and mass levitate were some of the most useful. The game still locks off some abilities until you reach certain plot points in the story, but once you make it through the prologue on New Game+, you have access to all abilities and Force powers from the jump, which are not tied to the story. This is the only part of the game that one might consider annoying, especially on New Game+. Some Force powers, like dashing, are only tied to mobility. They don't necessarily make enemies easier to fight, so why do I have to wait until certain points in the campaign to use them? Same goes for the upgrade to your ascension cable. Towards the last third of the game, you unlock the upgrade that allows you to attach to weather balloons you see all over the place. Regardless of these nitpicks, both games are absolute MASTERPIECES. Don't delay like I did—play them as soon as possible. Between the gameplay, story, graphics, music, and setting, there's something for all Star Wars fans. Thanks for listening! -Luca As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

The natural expansion of the combat system would be to allow Cal to wield dual sabers independently. The developers at Respawn did just that. What about a cross-guard saber like Kylo Ren? Why not? Blaster and saber? Holy shit! Now they have taken the gameplay to a completely new level. Of course the combat would not be complete without expanding Cal's force powers. Upon my second playthrough I realize confusion and mass slam, and mass levitate were some of the most useful. The game still locks off some abilities until you reach certain plot points in the story but, once you make it through the prologue on New Game + you have access to all abilities and force powers from the jump which are not tied to the story. This is the only part of the game that one might consider annoying. Especially on new game +. Some force powers like dashing are only tied to mobility. They do not necessarily make enemies easier to fight, so why do I have to wait until certain points in the campaign to use them. Same goes for the upgrade to you ascension cable. Towards the last third of the game you do not unlock the upgrade which allows you to attach to weather balloons you see all over the place. Regardless of these nitpicks, both games are absolute MASTERPIECES. Do not delay like I did and play them as soon as possible. Between the gameplay, story, graphics, music, setting, there is something for all Star Wars fans. Thanks for listening -Luca As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

And we're back! Thank you for tuning in. Here we are again with another episode of Ahsoka in the bag. It might not be notable that both episodes debuted on the same day, but I'm going to mention it here anyway. Why, you might ask? No reason other than to fill these opening text crawls with something rather than nothing. We follow up with our heroines Ahsoka, Sabine, and Hera as they continue to piece together the mystery of Thrawn and potentially Ezra's location. I've admitted several times on this show that I haven't watched Clone Wars. However, I am doing my best to rectify that. So much so that I'm beginning to pick up on subtle references to Clone Wars. By the time I publish this episode, six episodes will have aired. In that time, I've kept hearing the name Syndulla and wondered why it sounded familiar. According to Wookieepedia, Cham first appeared in "Liberty on Ryloth" among others. I had no idea he would become such an important character in the franchise that even his descendants would later appear in the Star Wars Universe—in live action, no less. Now I'm really curious to see what Ahsoka, Sabine, Hera, etc., were like in Rebels and how faithfully they've been represented on screen. Looking forward to your thoughts and opinions on the show!

Greetings, my fellow Nightsisters! Thank you for tuning in. Another day, another Star Wars IP drops on Disney Plus. I know we're a little behind on publishing—blame my loyal co-hosts for that! But that won't stop me from sharing my passion with Sydney and with you. This first episode provided a lot of mystery, especially if you haven't seen the accompanying show Rebels, which aired from 2014 to 2018, right after Disney acquired Star Wars. While many lament the cancellation of Clone Wars in 2020, we get to see some of our favorite characters like Ahsoka grow and develop as they continue their arc in a new series made by the same creator. Once again, Dave Filoni has impressed me with the look and feel of Ahsoka. While CGI is evident in some shots, in others, it's challenging to distinguish between practical effects and sets. Since I started watching Clone Wars, I've only begun to scratch the surface of Ahsoka's character development and training throughout the series. It's been spoiled for me that she renounces her status as a Jedi toward the end of Clone Wars, which is why her lightsabers are neither green, blue, red, nor any other color that might associate her as an ally or enemy of the Jedi. I'm missing a lot of backstory, having not finished Clone Wars. I thought this show was supposed to focus on one of the greatest villains the Republic has ever known, not on one of the characters who allegedly died defeating him. I'm going to continue watching as much of Clone Wars as possible. Disney Plus offers a guide highlighting pivotal moments in Ahsoka's storyline that you can skip to. While it might be quicker to watch those rather than all seven seasons, I feel bad for the creators if I did that. Not sure why I'm trying to appease them, but I'm starting to enjoy the show a lot and don't want to miss anything, no matter how trivial it may seem in the grand scheme of things. What are your thoughts on Ahsoka? The first two episodes released back-to-back, so rest assured, Sydney and I will be publishing our next episode soon. Thank you for listening!
