Jabba the Pod: A Podcast About Star Wars

Season 2 of The Mandalorian was so wizard, and our heroes are here to break it all down! Join Matt, Caitlin, and Brian as they discuss this insane episode, as well as say goodbye to Jeremy Bulloch, talk High Republic, and bid everyone farewell... for now. No one's ever really gone.

Karkin' kriff, the news is marching! Our heroes are reeling from the Star Wars reveals that took place during the "Disney Investor Call Holiday Special" and are also trying to discuss Chapter 15 of The Mandalorian. Join Caitlin, Matt, and Brian as they wallow in the goods and avoid death. Also, everyone who listens may or may not become a Jedi by the show's end. Maybe. Maybe not. Migs!

Ship go boom. Chapter 14 of The Mandalorian will change the way we look at the prequels forever and our heroes are on it. Join Matt, Caitlin, and Brian for a very long discussion about this episode, followed by a very sad announcement.

He has a name! Chapter 13 of The Mandalorian did not play around, and our heroes are still recovering! The Child has a name! A certain special someone has returned! Another name got dropped out of nowhere! HK droids! Brian, Caitlin, and Matt discuss all of this, plus more sniping about the Bridger Pamphlet and for whatever reason, more Williams Sonoma references.

Celebrate Life Day properly! Our heroes are recording at night, so welcome back to Spotckha Nights. Brian, Caitlin, and Matt discuss The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special, then go for some Hug Watch, Captain's Corner, and Trade Negotiations. MmmBop is cooking a Nuna, it's a Life Day miracle!

Brian, Caitlin, and Matt then proceed to have a merry festival of love for everyone's favorite protocol droid. Sorry Wires, but it's true. Dear oh dear!

Where do we even start with this one? Chapter 11 of The Mandalorian was kriffing insane, how's that? Our heroes can barely handle all of the big reveals and rumor confirmations let alone talk coherently about them, but here goes nothing! Join Brian, Caitlin, and Matt as they celebrate, scream, and ignore the constant warnings of Wires.

Do you speak frog? Chapter 10 of The Mandalorian was an enormous festival of weird, and our heroes are going through all of it. From Dr. Mandible, to Yoda Baby's possible murder spree, to Frog Lady, this was one for the books. Brian, Caitlin, and Matt revel in it as well as the new LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special trailer and so much more. Capes for Life Day!

Boats! Hooded mystery women! Space boxing! The trailer for season 2 of The Mandalorian is here, and our heroes are giving their first reactions.

Mandos everywhere! Not only do our heroes have new photos and quotes about Season 2 of The Mandalorian to discuss, they also have arrived at the "Heroes of Mandalore" Star Wars Rebels two-parter!

Our heroes are sorting through all of the Thrawns and Bendus in the first half of Star Wars Rebels, Season 3. Brian, Caitlin, and Matt discuss big changes, exciting developments, and then everything goes straight to Malachor when Matt creates an unsanctioned segment out of nowhere and claims to have found Count Dooku's actual pencil. Brian loses the will to live, and Caitlin enjoys the chaos. It's another longo one that you'll regret listening to.
