What appeared on the surface to be a more lighthearted and fun episode of The Bad Batch, "Rampage" exposes the naivety of all of our heroes and foreshadows the upcoming moral dilemmas they're likely to face in these unpleasant corners of the galaxy. Also, is "Muchie" the Rancor from Return of The Jedi? No. But, maybe? Does it matter? The introduction to this young creature sparked an impromptu discussion of Star Wars storytelling, the effects of re-writing canon, and what it might mean for the future.

Friends, we're catching up on episodes 3 & 4 of The Bad Batch, "Replacements" and "Cornered". A lot of love was shown for Rebels and Attack of The Clones in these episodes, and boy, have things gotten dark with the Empire's introduction of its new initiative! These were some great episodes!

We're currently enjoying some R&R on the coast of Alabama, but the podcast must go on! Our book club recently read Beth Revis' novel Rebel Rising. "Jyn is also the most "real" character in Star Wars in that she's not inherently special," Beth said in and interview for her book. "She wasn't born with the ability to feel the Force, she's (for the most part) not surrounded by important characters, she's not a princess. She was never going to be a Jedi -- or a Sith. She's just a person. And despite that, she still fought and stood up for what was right and made a difference. That's a powerful thing. Of course we want to see the Jedis fight the Sith. But we also need to see the regular people stand up in the face of the Empire -- because that's us." We couldn't agree more, Beth. Let's dig into the tragic, yet hopeful story of Jyn Erso.

The past 48 hours have been amazing for Star Wars fans. A new trailer for The Bad Batch shares a little more insight into Clone Force 99's experience around the time of the new Empire. We're also introduced to a new character, Omega. Who is this individual and what will her role be in this adventure with our heroes? So. Many. Questions. Lucasfilm also released much of the cast for the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series, and Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse are reprising their role as Owen and Beru Lars. How much involvement can we expect from them in the series? We turn to the comics to better understand what their interactions may be like with our dear Obi-Wan in this limited series.
