Force Cult

For our 200th and final episode, we are joined once again by Alyce & Laura of the Force Toast Podcast. We say our farewells with some rumors and final speculations on upcoming Star Wars content. We go all out with an epic Would You Rathtar?! showdown that gets a little...hairy.  

We welcome back Peter Townley to catch up on the sequel trilogy and The Mandalorian. You thought he was great as Maclunkey, well check him out his latest role; Peter Townley as Christopher Walken as Emperor Palpatine in our latest installment of Jedi Masterpiece Theatre! He's got all the best armies. 

We come to terms with the cancellation of Celebration 2020, but the blow is softened with gameplay footage from SQUADRONS! From the dusty, oversized CD binders to a heartfelt curation of Star Wars music, the boys put together a mixtape for our listeners of the galaxy's finest tunes. And a big Force Cult announcement!

With the premiere of Jedi Temple Challenge, we reminisce on the gameshows of our childhood and potential Star Wars adaptations. Things might be crazy out there, but remember, rebellions are built on hope. 

We look back 15 years to the night we thought Star Wars was over when Episode III premiered. Casting rumors for The Mandalorian season 2 are dropping right and left and honestly, but rumors often do more harm than good! 

Our pal Andy Blanchard stops by once again for Star Wars Day as we talk about the tearjerking Clone Wars finale. We breakdown the tragic arcs of Maul and Ahsoka Tano, but keep things balanced with a round of our favorite game, Would You Rathar?! 

Jip & Travis celebrate the Siege of Mandalore and its many awesome battles. We question the future of Celebration and how social distancing will alter fan events. 

As quarantine continues, we latch onto what little Star Wars news can be had, all the while finding ourselves a bit frustrated with the latest episodes of Clone Wars. Jip has a pitch for a new series and Travis has a bizarre connection to Samuel L. Jackson. 

Time to shelter in place and listen to some geeks talk about Star Wars! We're thrilled with the home release of The Rise Of Skywalker and realize how the end of a saga also crushes our dreams. As the new episodes of Clone Wars continue, we discuss Ahsoka's path and live-action casting rumors. 

Our look back at The Clone Wars continues, specifically the Mortis arc from season 3. We discuss the more spiritual aspects of the Force and how it pulls from different religions. Additionally we chat about the latest episodes from Season 7 and the Techno Union Army.  

We're 100% that batch, the Bad Batch. The Clone Wars is back and the weekly release schedule is killing us. We discuss Project Luminous aka The High Republic and the possibilities for the future of Star Wars or in this case, the past of it.

The return of The Clone Wars is upon us and we've decided to take a look back at some of the best arcs and characters of this incredible animated series. Whether you're in it for the shipping, bounty hunters or Jar Jar hijinks, there's a little something for everyone. Join us for part one of ???

Jip & Travis return to the Outer Rim and discuss the season finale of The Mandalorian and our expectations for Season 2. Nobody hates Star Wars quite like Star Wars fans and The Rise Of Skywalker is no different. We've rounded up some absurd complaints for Episode IX to dissect and shake our heads at. 

The dead speak! Well we weren't dead, but we're back for our first episode of 2020 and sharing our first reactions to The Rise Of Skywalker. We barely scratch the surface, but this is a Star Wars podcast, so have no fear, this conversation is far from over. 

Catching up on Chapters 5-7 of The Mandalorian, we discuss our theories and expectations going into the season's finale. With only hours to spare before the release of The Rise Of Skywalker, we're excited and anxious as hell. We look toward the future of the franchise and how escaping the trilogy format may better the stories to come. 

Travis chats one-on-one with Phil Hawkins, writer/director of the newly released fan film Star Wars Origins. A conversation about Phil's filmmaking origins, the many inspirations behind this epic project and standing out from other fan films.  

Cosplayer extraordinaire Rei Kennex joins us this week to talk about chapters 3 & 4 of The Mandalorian and all the hard work that goes into looking like Ahsoka Tano. The world is obsessed with little baby Yoda (aka Colin), so it's no wonder he comes up in our latest round of Would You Rathtar?! 

Friends of the show, Andy Blanchard & Andy Cortez return to give their impressions and opinions of the first 2 episodes of The Mandalorian. We've all sunk hours (except Jip) into the new game Jedi: Fallen Order and while there's room for improvement, it has our seal of approval! Could the Yoda baby be the true Chosen One sent to save the fandom?! 

We welcome back Alyce & Laura (Force Toast Podcast) and find out what it takes to be a Star Wars trivia champion. When is Avatar 2 coming out and will J.J. Abrams be able to tie up all the loose threads in The Rise Of Skywalker? And things get lost in translation with our latest installment of Jedi Masterpiece Theatre (36:55)! 

We analyze every shot of the final trailer for The Rise Of Skywalker and it's got us guessing and grasping at straws. Jip has some theories and Travis just wants some credit for his stolen ideas. We've got our tickets for opening night and counting down the days!

With a look at the upcoming game Jedi Fallen Order, we examine the gameplay and potential Dan Brown crossover opportunities. Travis thinks you should read Alphabet Squadron and Jip analyzes Superman's chances against a lightsaber.  

With great excitement, comes great trepidation. From new images of The Rise Of Skywalker to the opening of Galaxy's Edge, will our great expectations be met? The fans want Solo 2 to happen, but also the fans never wanted Solo in the first place. And finally, Travis has some beef with a theory making it's rounds on the internet. 

We look back at the year 1999; the golden age of pop music and beginning of a new era for Star Wars. What if The CW network started producing television series in a galaxy far away? We've got a lineup of programming that'll have ratings higher than the skyscrapers of Coruscant! 

Jip & Travis talk about all of the new books leading up to The Rise of Skywalker and future theatrical releases. Just in case Lucasfilm is running out of ideas for Star Wars TV shows, we'd like to throw a late night talk show and tycoon drama into the hat. 

We try something a little different this week and discuss something other than Star Wars. The box office smash Avengers: Endgame was something we couldn't ignore. Much like Lucas' space opera, the MCU has been an epic saga that's had us talking for years and we thought surely there's some audience crossover. SPOILER HEAVY!

One year after it's release, Travis & Jip revisit the fan-dividing motion picture of a lifetime, Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi. Does it look like a Star War? Does it sound like a Star War? Does it taste like a Star War? 

There may not be a Star Wars theatrical realease this holiday season, but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate! We discuss the Doza family secrets and ponder how best to survive the winter festivities in the galaxy far away during a round of Would You Rathar?

Travis shares his VR experience from Secrets of the Empire, Jip has specifics on what he's looking for in a ship and we retro cast SOLO in the golden age of cinema.  

From snowball to full on avalanche, we discuss the origin, rise and fall of the Jedi highlighting some key moments from their history and how it is they became jerks.

Should Episode IX be split into two parts? Should there be a Star Wars/Scooby Doo crossover? What should the new live-action series be about? Have no fear, we've speculated on it all. Our boy Blanchard, Andy that is (Achievement Hunter/Rooster Teeth) joins us once again and portrays the noble Kenobi in another installment of Jedi Masterpiece Theatre.
