Season 2 of The Mandalorian has drawn to a close in tremendous fashion, and it’s left us with a lot of thoughts, questions, and feelings. Some stuff AFTER the episode also left us with some thoughts, questions, and feelings! And as we predicted, we have since learned that The Book of Boba Fett is its own show coming in December 2021! Exciting stuff!!!
Some conflicting feelings on Chapter 15: The Believer! But we all agree that Din Djarin is great, and that’s what matters. Also: Is It Edible?, Checking In With Eva, and Return of the Cole!!!
Chapter 14: The Tragedy. This is basically the Boba Fett Stan podcast now. Of course, that’s not ALL we talk about. But it’s a lot of it. Who heard Grogu? What’s the deal with the Empire?
Chapter 13 of The Mandalorian was almost everything we’d hoped it would be and more. Once Ben finally gets the intro right (enough), we talk about how TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS and then go into the episode! It’s left us with many many questions, but in a good way.
Mando season 2 keeps on trucking, so we do too. Not that anyone ever thinks any episode of a Star Wars TV show will be BAD, but it’s safe to say that we were all blown away by how good this one was.
Don’t worry, we don’t make you wait long to learn the reason for this absolute wild episode title. But after we get that nonsense cleared up, we’re right back into THE MANDALORIAN. BO-KATAN?? AHSOKA?? The hype levels are off the charts right now.
The special project for episode 200 is still in the works, but it’s still cooking. So instead, we’re just giving you that sweet sweet Mando content that you all crave! Who says Mando isn’t special enough for episode 200 anyway??
OKAY. Another weird one. We weren’t sure if Cole was gonna be here the whole time, so we didn’t commit to episode 200. Instead, we just talked about what’s really on everyone’s minds: THE MANDALORIAN. Absolutely insane opening to season 2. There was no way we WEREN’T gonna talk about it this week, really.
This episode is a little weird. We were SUPPOSED to do episode 200 this week, but then Cole couldn’t make it. So instead we talk about The Rise of Skywalker, the Mandalorian (and its possible home releases), and From a Certain Point of View pt. deux! HOPEFULLY next week we’ll hit you with our very fancy episode 200 B)
This week, we’re tackling episodes 8-11 of season 3 of Clone Wars, and that proves to be difficult since there is a lot of Ziro to take down over here. Also, ARE Separatists people?? We may never know.
Listen up, you statistics: this episode is something entirely new. We were gonna talk about TCW and couldn’t. Then we were gonna make our RPG characters, but then we couldn’t. So we decided to spend our time talking about Star Wars Screen Rant articles, and the conversation that comes out of it is more in-depth than you might believe.
This one is VERY special since we’re joined by our friends Luke and Austin! And we dig pretty deep into most aspects of Star Wars comics, with a particular focus on collecting. If you don’t know where to begin with Star Wars comics, this is probably a good place to start!
Sadly, Dakota is not with us this week so we don’t get to do the cool episode we teased last week quite yet. However, he has given us his blessing to finally talk about JEDI: FALLEN ORDER. And talk about it we do. I knew we could talk about this game, but I had no idea we’d do quite this much gushing. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised!
It what may be our most underwhelming TCW episode yet, we’re talking about episodes 5-7 of Season 3 this week. Clone Wars is very good, and these episodes land as a resounding “meh” from all of us. However, there’s a bit of a deep dive on Satine that makes the whole thing worth it in the end.
Big news! We’re going to be playing an RPG on the podcast once a month! Hopefully that’s exciting! This week we spend a little time talking about the various different RPG systems that Star Wars has inhabited over the last 30 or so years. and then talk about what we’re going to be doing with ours!
Clone Wars is back with Season 3 this week, and honestly it hits us with some of the worst chronology nonsense that we’ve faced yet. And Cole isn’t even here to guide us through it! Episodes 1-4 of Season 3 this week!
The Skyhoppers Podcast has done an episode about Solo: A Star Wars Story in the past, but we’re taking another crack at it now that we’ve got some new hosts who have their own opinions! How does the score hold up? What about the aesthetics of the movie as a whole? Also…………… Victory’s Price, Aphra audio, and Lego Star Wars Holiday Special???
Our first cold open with our new hosts! Talk of Solo and soundtracks gives way to a bit of Cassian casting news, and then onto our main Clone Wars event! The last three episodes of season 2 this week. They aren’t the strongest the series has ever been, if you ask us.
How many quiz episodes can this podcast do? Never enough. That’s how many. But (supposedly) they’re fun because you listeners can play along with us! This week, Dakota and Eva answer some questions from “The Ultimate Unauthorized Star Wars Trilogy Triva Challenge”. It’s pretty wild.
The two saddest episodes of The Clone Wars? Quite possibly. The Zillo Beast deserved so much better than she got, and everyone should take a moment to remember the horrible injustice that was done unto this majestic creature. “The Zillo Beast” and “The Zillo Beast Strikes Back” this week.
Back when Rich was on the show, we definitely talked about clones at some point or another. But there are three new people on this podcast, and Ben has been thinking about clones WAY more than usual due to reading Hard Contact for Obroa-skai Walkers, so we’re doing it again! Are they just fleshy droids? Why do the Jedi just accept them with no scrutiny? We don’t know! But we talk about it anyway.
In a double continuation of both Prequel Month and our TCW rewatch, we’re tackling “Senate Murders”, “Cat and Mouse”, and “Bounty Hunters”! Make sure to send us an email or let us know how you feel about “Bounty Hunters” on Twitter so that Ben can feel either less alone in liking it or even more dejected, depending on your feelings. Also, BAD BATCH TV SHOW??? Lots of complicated feelings on that as well.
Guess what? July is still Prequel Month here at the Skyhoppers Podcast! And we’re doing something that we’ve never really done before: a deep dive on a specific movie, with the movie in question being The Phantom Menace. Every saga has a beginning, and we’re here to talk it to death.
Big news: Anakin is literate! And we hate it. More importantly, we spend this episode discussing episodes 12-14 of season 2 of The Clone Wars, otherwise known as the first Mandalore arc! Plus lots of Fett discourse.
As you might have expected, we are going over episodes 9-11 of season two of The Clone Wars! Unfortunately both Cole and Eva are missing this week, but we’ve got a Terrelian Jango Jumper, so that’s gotta count for something.
Star Wars has always been inherently political, and anyone that disagrees is very much missing the point. Anyone who thinks the Empire is right is very much missing the point. Star Wars is anti-war and anti-facist, and we wanted to talk a bit about that this week. And of course, there’s a new FACPOV book to discuss as well as some weird Mandalorian rumors. It’s good to be back, folks!
Have you ever watched a Clone War? We watched FOUR Clone Wars for this week. It’s the second battle of Geonosis and all the freaky-deaky brain worms that that entails!
This episode is about… the plan to save Han from Jabba’s Palace? And without spoiling anything, we’re pretty sure we’ve figured it out. Also we talk about Solo a lot for some reason. Probably because we like it.
Kicking off Clone Wars Season 2 this week! Cad Bane steals a holocron! Rush Clovis is… awful. “Holocron Heist,” “Cargo of Doom,” “Children of the Force,” and the god-forsaken “Senate Spy” this week! Also, is Dakota Chewbie? Only time will tell.
In this SUPERSIZED episode of the podcasts, your hosts take you on a wild ride through the wide world of STAR WARS LEGENDS. This episode has been on the back burner for a long time, but with Star Wars things slowing down for a little while, the timing seems prudent. The best time to get into Legends is yesterday, after all!
Quarantine is still kicking! But so is our Clone Wars journey. And on this exciting week, we wrap up season one! The Ryloth arc plus “Hostage Crisis”!
Have you ever wondered who has the best butt in Star Wars? Well. We’re here to tell you. More importantly, we talk about our best and worst from many categories in this supersized episode of The Skyhoppers Podcast! Jedi, Sith, starships, and butts, apparently. It’s better than it sounds, I promise.
As you might guess, lovely listeners, we’re continuing our Clone Wars journey this week! “The Hidden Enemy,” “Blue Shadow Virus,” and “Mystery of a Thousand Moons!” More Nuvo Vindi than you can (or would want to) shake a stick at. Or is it Ringo Vinda? Who knows.
In their first run at “the big leagues,” your new hosts take on their first character episode as a cast: the KYLO REN episode! He’s arguably the best part of the Sequel Trilogy, and there’s a lot of nuance in his character that bears discussion. However, we all know the boy ain’t perfect.
This week, your intrepid hosts are discussing “Jedi Crash”, “Defenders of Peace”, and “Trespass” on their journey back through The Clone Wars! Lots of characters to hate this week. Also lots of lemurs.
As in typical Skyhoppers fashion, your hosts (all four of them this week) set out to discuss the balance of the Force in a general sense, but get sidetracked on the Mandalorian for a good chunk of time. And as always, the usual nonsense, including a new segment called “Is It Edible?” DO NOT email georgelucas@gmail.com.
We are FINALLY continuing our Clone Wars recap, and we hope to make it a more regular feature on the podcast from now on. We’re discussing episodes 9-12 of season one, or “Cloak of Darkness,” “Lair of Grievous,” “Dooku Captured,” and “The Gungan General.” Cole is missing in action (though he was here for After Hours), at least until the very very tail end of the show. It’s a whole weird thing.
Welcome to season 2 of The Skyhoppers Podcast! For real this time! In this episode, we learn about our new cohosts, as well as how Dakota’s mom invented Machete Order, how a certain Full of Sith host ignored Eva at SWCO in 2017, and how Cole is so, so, SO peeved at Dave Filoni all the time. Also, Rogue Podron is hereby cancelled. Don’t really know why, though. #Chewby
