We are two Star Wars nerds who grew up with the original trilogy. In this new era of Star Wars content, we decided to go back in time and review the original Lucasfilm Cartoons starting in the 1970s and going forward to today. We discuss current events and review one cartoon episode in each of our shows. We began with the Star Wars Holiday Special and then the 1980s cartoons Droids and Ewoks. We will eventually cover the Clone Wars and Rebels and whatever comes next. We hope you join us on this journey through Star Wars cartoons.
