Join Megan, Nedi, and special guest and Ahsoka super fan, Claire, as they track and discuss the growth and development of Ahsoka Tano. One of the most beloved characters, her character arc spans 5 seasons of clone wars, some of Rebels, Forces of Destiny, and a novel of her own. We wanted to take the time to appreciate this amazing female character, before her return in season 7 of Clone Wars.

Megan and Nedi are back to discuss Clone Wars Season 7's new trailer, shot by shot. We debate timelines, discuss Ahsoka's future, and raise questions like; What happened to Bariss? Can the Ahsoka book really tell us anything about S7? Also, Baby Kanan and we better not see Order 66 happen with our own two eyeballs.

Mollie and Nedi discuss the many diverse roles and representation of women in The Last Jedi. We discuss just how revolutionary this film is in terms of female rep, how diverse the characters are, and how real these women are.

People think they know female fans. There's a certain stigma around them, as if they're outliers or abnormalities for liking stories that have blasters and space ships in them. What about female fans who are minorities? Female fans who fit into "niche" parts of fandom (like reylo shippers)? How is fandom different for women, who are already treated as "abnormalities" in fandom, and why? Join Tammy, Mollie, and Nedi as they discuss together their experiences, and lay bare the parts of fandom no one wants to talk about.

Nedi and Mollie discuss the season finale of The Mandalorian through the lens of lore and the female gaze.

Join Nedi and Megan on the first segment of "Mando Mythos" as they dissect and recap the latest Mandalorian episode. This week, we'll be recapping the first two episodes, and discussing Dad Mando, adorable (ad terrifying) creatures, & what on earth the force is trying to tell us through *That* certain character.

Megan and Nedi breakdown the trailer frame by frame, discussing Reylo, the Return Of The Sith, and even.... Tangled? Also some wack (yet plausible)theories and screaming about wet kylo. Buckle up kids. It's 2 hours and 20 minutes of fun. We left NOTHING out. NOTHING.

How will Batuu play out in ep 9? Are there napkins there? There's also plenty of informational stuff- motion sickness likeliness on rides, best plans of approach to the park, where to eat, and much more!

Discussion of the new trailer, Reylo, and the return of Palpatine. *SPOILERS FOR CLAUDIA GREY'S 'Master & Apprentice' * How does Mortis tie into Palpatine's return? How does the prophecy of the Chosen One tie into Reylo?

After a long absence, we've returned! Dive into the World of Star Wars with your trope glasses on, as Megan and Nedi discuss one of the most famous literary tropes of all time; Star Crossed Lovers. Romeo and Juliet made it famous. Now, we dissect this trope as found in Star Wars. As it turns out, there's a lot of it. In this episode, we compare the Star Crossed relationships we see in Star Wars through the books, tv series, and films. What's similar? What's different? And for a bonus, we discuss a relationship still in progress that currently falls under this trope. What implications does the Romeo and Juliet effect have on Reylo, if any? What's alike? What's different? *Note for spoilers* If you have not read the following books or watched the following TV series, please be advised there will be spoilers for them ahead.

Join Nedi and new co-host Megan as they discuss Episode II of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.  Important questions are raised such as, what does the concept of the Lost 20 really mean?  What was Padmé's thought process throughout this film?
