    Well, this is it. The end of an era for me. The last episode of the University of Coruscant. It's been joyful and difficult and exciting and challenging and basically all the emotions in the middle. This last season has been a two year project and so I thought I'd end it with a big bang. You get a super long episode today featuring my two podcast partners JB and Kash, as well as the excellent work by special guest Noah Benjamin. And a special special guest appearance by one of the biggest fans of the show, Odin Pearson. I can't thank those of you who joined me on this great galactic journey enough. What a ride for Dr. Ravencourt and Todd. And for Blur Lightfire. You can literally hear him growing up over the seasons. Sort of a special way to capture time in a bottle (space cannister?). Do they have regular bottles in star wars? Be kind to one another. So long and thanks for the all the fish. Check out all my new stuff on spacewizardstavern.com Love and the force, Sunny

    Part cop, part jedi, all badass. Corran Horn is one of my favorite characters because he is the embodiment of a very simple, yet hard to achieve lesson in life. Be yourself. Not just the parts of yourself that you like, or the parts you wish you were, but truly yourself. Don't swim upstream against your natural tendencies. Harness them and point them in the direction you want to go. Corran Horn was an amazing jedi and an even better life lesson. All that and Katelyn Mathis from Future of the Force and all around funny lady. She plays a psychopath so well, I worry for the other people in her life. But hey, voice actors gotta voice act. She crushes it.

But that didn't stop Shaak Ti from being assigned the wellbeing of millions of clones. And that's not even the best part. She had 5 deaths.

    Cad Bane took the mantle of "Best Bounty Hunter" when Jango Fett died. Their similarities are striking. Maybe not as similar as Jango to Boba, but c'mon, let's be fair. Cad Bane had one up on Jango Fett though, and that was a flair for the dramatic. Bane pulled off some of the greatest jobs in history and was absolutely not scared of the limelight. He relished it. And, if I might add, he looked good doing it too.

    What do the Clone Wars and Boba Fett have in common? The answer is the greatest bounty hunter of his era, a mandalorian named Jango Fett. And no, I don't want to debate mandalorians, but I probably will a bit. Either way, Jango Fett was so well regarded, that Darth Tyranus decided to recruit him for a little cloning operation which resulted in a galaxy-wide political upheaval and the eradication of a thousand years of jedi tradition. Pretty impressive, if that's your sort of thing.
