Well, we have arrived. Peridea, perdition, madness, dreams. Nightsisters. And blue guys. And the prodigal son himself, Ezra Bridger.In a galaxy "Far Far Away" (coincidentally, this is also the title of Ahsoka's sixth episode), we have an opportunity to parse the cultishness of Thrawn's remaining forces, who have wound themselves with Nightsister ribbons and become reborn as Night Troopers. We dissect Baylan Skoll's grand plan to end the galactic order, talk through Ezra's return, and sing the praises of Ahsoka—a love letter for deep fans.Want more Growing Up Skywalker?

A lot has happened in Star Wars since the new Canon started in 2012. We're looking at the literary side of those new stories as we count down our Top 5 Canon Books! There's so much to cover from characters like Thrawn, Ahsoka, and Dooku; to brand new eras like The High Republic! What do you think our favorite book is? There's so many stories to cover and it's true, all of it! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In this episode, Jacob and Evan break down Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3 Episodes 5 and 6, focusing on Mandalore's corruption arc.The discussion explores how Mandalore's attempt at neutrality during the Clone Wars leads to smuggling, poisoned supplies, and widespread corruption inside the government itself. Padmé and Duchess Satine attempt to expose the criminal network, while Ahsoka goes undercover to investigate corruption among Mandalore's leadership.Beyond simply recapping the episodes, the conversation dives into the philosophical themes behind Satine's pacifism, asking whether moral absolutism can actually make a government weaker. The hosts debate whether Satine's leadership ultimately protects Mandalore—or unintentionally sets the stage for its downfall.They also discuss how these episodes foreshadow Darth Maul's later takeover of Mandalore, examine Ahsoka's growing distrust of institutions, and explore the larger question:Was Duchess Satine truly a hero… or a tragic failure?0:00 Intro0:30 Episode Overview (Clone Wars S3E5–6)1:37 Comedic Recap of the Mandalore Arc7:06 Ad Break / Mandalore Tea8:00 First Thoughts on the Episodes9:13 The Problem With Satine's Pacifism13:53 The Evidence Problem & Burning the Warehouse15:26 Mandalore's Corruption and Government Denial19:20 Why These Episodes Matter for Future Clone Wars Events21:18 How This Arc Sets Up Darth Maul's Takeover23:30 Moral Branding vs Moral Reality24:51 Is Moral Absolutism Dangerous?27:18 The Domino Effect of Moral Compromise34:40 Information vs Military Power in Star Wars39:13 How This Arc Shapes Ahsoka's Future42:05 Is Duchess Satine a Hero or a Failure?47:29 Final Thoughts48:00 OutroClone WarsClone Wars MandaloreClone Wars Season 3Clone Wars analysisClone Wars breakdownStar Wars Clone Wars podcastDuchess Satine analysisSatine pacifism Clone WarsMandalore corruption arcClone Wars Mandalore arc explainedPadme Mandalore episodeAhsoka Mandalore episodeDarth Maul Mandalore setupClone Wars themesStar Wars political analysisStar Wars philosophyStar Wars podcast discussionClone Wars deep dive
The trick to falling off a cliff while losing a fight? Face your past, greet your long-dead master, and become the person you were always meant to be.Our discussion of Ahsoka's fifth installment, “Shadow Warrior,” centers on the Jedi Trials, the Hero's Journey, and Ahsoka's profound self-growth. Her rebirth into Ahsoka the White and a dreamy purrgil Force connection scene make this one of the most majestic chapters in her journey so far—and there's still plenty more to come.Want more Growing Up Skywalker?

Anakin lets someone die to keep his cover. That's where The Clone Wars Season 4 goes in episodes 11–13, and Matthew and Erin are here for every uncomfortable moment of it. Erin brought these three episodes as her Season 4 picks for Star Wars Generations, the show where hosts with different generational lenses dig into every corner of the Star Wars universe together. The arc: Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Rex go undercover to dismantle the resurgent Zygerrian slave empire, and almost everyone comes out of it a little darker.Matthew and Erin trace the arc's argument that Palpatine's war has been quietly breaking the Jedi this whole time; normalizing moral compromise, putting Jedi in situations they were never built for, and handing Anakin one impossible choice after another. They dig into the Zygerrian Queen's argument that Jedi are just slaves to the Republic, Obi-Wan's torture-as-strategy, Anakin's escalating use of lethal force, Anakin showing a flirting talent he never had in the prequels, and the devastating final question: if the Jedi once destroyed an entire slave empire, why did they never go back for Tatooine?Erin also brings a close eye to the Togrutan colonists—their distinct biology, culture, and what their vulnerability in this arc means for Ahsoka's relationship to her own people. And Rex closes it out with one of the best lines in the series. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

In Episode 150, hosts Alyce and Laura celebrate* the 7th Avernersary of Force Toast (and The Mandalorian) but mostly Force Toast. Reminiscing on 7 years of watching and reading Star Wars, doing trivs and learning mad skills, like how to do Star Wars Celebration, how to podcast and how to not drink too much when podcasting. Important life lessons! What do Sam Elliott, sh-tty beer and football have in common? Star Wars at the Super Bowl! Mystifying, or just a small (expensive) part of a grander marketing plan? (article referenced) Speaking of Mando - we call him Mandu now - a new MandUlorian & Grogu trailer is here! Let's discuss! The article that sparked a million click bait parasites did not actually say what you think it said. Calm down. We did the math. Jon Favreau isn't going anywhere. Take that, click bait. Remember Rogue Squadron? The question of whether it will ever come to fruition remains… a question. (via Parade) RIP Admiral Piett actor Kenneth Colley. Sorry DailyMail and the internet made it weird. Recap on Tap gets dreamy and maddening in Part 7 of Ahsoka: Dreams and Madness! Hera strikes back, Baylan is Batman now, Ahsoka is scary, Morgan does not Yes And any of this, and Every. Single. Reunion on this show is underwhelming. Thanks for being one of our 80k+ downloads!

“Stick together,” says local long-suffering robot. Spoiler alert—they did not stick together. In Ahsoka's fourth episode, “Fallen Jedi,” a cascade of escalating duels marks the most impactful episode of the series so far. And when the unprepared (Ahsoka, Sabine) meet the prepared (Baylan, Morgan, Shin), things go bad VERY quickly.This week, we discuss the motivations of our Antagonists, as well as the spiritual implications of the live-action debut of the World Between Worlds. And the specter of the Spectres also plays a major role, diving into Sabine's personal tragedies and how she came to be who she is.With a heck of a cliffhanger and more questions than answers, we are quickly approaching the climax of Ahsoka Season 1!Want more Growing Up Skywalker?

Kathleen Kennedy has left Lucasfilm. Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan are now co-running the company. What does that mean for the future of Star Wars? In this episode, Bill Kuchman joins Eric and Grace to discuss Kennedy's legacy, Filoni's creative style, and how the new leadership arrangement will actually work. Plus: We speculate about the future of artificial intelligence in Star Wars storytelling, and we call on Lucasfilm to rethink its conclusions about recasting iconic roles.

What a banger! What a bop! Ahsoka's third episode, “Time to Fly,” isn't just a visual and auditory delight—it also reframes what it means to be Force-sensitive.In our discussion, we parse the ways that Force sensitivity has been treated across Star Wars, from the “anyone could be a Jedi!” spirit of the original trilogy to the introduction of midichlorians. With this episode, Star Wars seems to strike a subtle balance between the two that opens up new realms of possibility.We also talk about Hera being a woman in the workforce, Sabine's lineage of unconventional Jedi masters, and PURRGIL!
The first full trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu movie was released on StarWars.com (and Disney and Lucasfilm social media websites) on February 17th, 2026. There's footage no one has seen before, not even those who attended Star Wars Celebration in Japan last year! That's great news, because the marketing team heard plenty of boos from the crowds watching the NFL's “big game” because the beer-like commercial homage didn't have much and it didn't even point to a more complete look online.Some of the revelations from the video are interesting, like a possible new mentor for Grogu, a “deck of cards” like bounty hunting quest, and a sweet new pram for “Baby Yoda” toward the end. Also, was that Marty voicing that Ardennian food trucker? Sources say it was indeed Scorsese!We have a closer look at the Hutts and even hear one speak. The resurging ex-Imperials set a meeting in a snowy place, Din Djarin does indeed seem to face off against ‘ol “Stinky”, and we once again see the Anzellans, some Dejarik holo chess pieces come to life, and a new serpent or dragon species to stoke our fears of wading in dark water. Yo! Embo! Is that you? I have the feeling he won't last long in the movie. Movie! Yes! Movie, not show! It's coming soon! A little over three months to go!The movie releases May 22nd, 2026 and though there are sure to be more trailers as it gets closer, this will probably be our last time reviewing it before we see it. Stay tuned to our social media and make sure to check back in with us for future podcasts. We released a #StarWarsPodcastDay2026 episode earlier this month and have monthly news updates. We plan on a special episode for May the Fourth, and we have coverage of all three seasons of The Mandalorian show from Disney Plus in our archives. There's much more, too, like Andor coverage, Ahsoka, The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and even the first season of Visions. We plan on continuing to cover live action Star Wars shows, like Ahsoka's second season, but if you're looking for commentary about The Acolyte, well, we were taught not to say anything if you can't say something nice.

In this episode of SuperHero Homies!, we rank every live-action Star Wars movie and TV series released under Disney from worst to best. That means all 13 projects — including The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker, Rogue One, Solo, The Mandalorian, Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, The Acolyte, and Skeleton Crew — enter the arena. Yes, even Skeleton Crew gets its day in court. Is Andor still the prestige king of Disney Star Wars? Did The Mandalorian redefine the franchise? Has time been kind to the Sequel Trilogy? Where does Ahsoka land? And does Skeleton Crew surprise us or drift into hyperspace obscurity? We debate, we defend, and we reshuffle the galaxy one ranking at a time. Before we jump to hyperspace, our cold open dives into the latest rumors surrounding Spider-Man: Brand New Day, including possible appearances from Tombstone, Jean Grey, and Man-Spider. We also theorize about the X-Men's potential role in Avengers: Doomsday and what incursions could mean for the MCU moving forward. If you love Star Wars rankings, MCU theories, Marvel and DC discussions, comic book commentary, superhero movie reviews, and pop culture debates, this episode is built for you.

Erin's Season 3 Favorites—Heroes on Both Sides and Ahsoka Hunted for SportWhat happens when you mix separatist political intrigue, a classic mob betrayal, and one of the darkest survival stories in Star Wars animation? Matthew and Erin dive into four standout episodes from The Clone Wars Season 3—Episodes 9 – 10 and 21 – 22—spanning Senate-era moral complexity, underworld drama, and Ahsoka's most brutal test yet. From Sy Snootles' mob-wife energy in “Hunt for Zero,” to the political nuance of “Heroes on Both Sides” (and Ahsoka's iconic new outfit debut), to the terrifying Trandoshan hunt arc, these episodes show just how wide—and how dark—The Clone Wars can get.Episodes CoveredSeason 3, Episode 9—“Hunt for Zero”Season 3, Episode 10—“Heroes on Both Sides” (Ahsoka's new look debut)Season 3, Episodes 21 – 22—The Trandoshan Hunting Arc“Padawan Lost”“Wookiee Hunt”Questions We DiscussedWould Anakin have turned to the dark side if Quinlan Vos had been his master instead of Obi-Wan?Does “Heroes on Both Sides” actually succeed in showing heroism among the Separatists?Why is the Trandoshan hunting arc one of the darkest storylines Star Wars has ever told?How does Ahsoka's relationship with Anakin evolve when she operates independently?What makes Sy Snootles the perfect mob wife character in Star Wars?How does meeting Lux Bonteri influence Ahsoka's understanding of the war's complexities?**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Double double…We've got two master/apprentice pairs mixing up all kinds of mischief in Ahsoka's second installment, “Toil and Trouble.”As a show, Ahsoka is not catering to newbies. And this episode, we're diving into the deep lore of Darths (Revan, Traya, and Sion) and galaxies (the Star Wars galaxy, and one that is yet to be named).We're also spending a LOT of time on this show's fascinating baddies. Thrawn lingers over the galaxy, calling out over space and time, even as Ahsoka is drawn back into the life of the Spectres, and Sabine faces up to her own shortcomings.New to Growing Up Skywalker?

Not all villains are this impeccably dressed. But Ahsoka introduces some incredibly dapper baddies.In “Part One: Master and Apprentice,” we catch up with General Syndulla (busy AF), Sabine Wren (lost and traumatized), and Ahsoka Tano (just too competent for her own good). But EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, we meet Baylan Skoll, Shin Hati, and a slightly snarkier Morgan Elsbeth. They look great. And they symbolize the threat of rising fascism across the galaxy.Ahsoka's Season 1 premiere reintroduces us to the Spectres—no longer the happy family of Rebels—and plants the seeds for a galaxy-hopping, world-between-worlds-spanning story.

Long story short, Laura will open a Shaquiri and record weird noises from a beach, and Alyce will be at Chipotle.Formerly Darth. Now just Maul. Well, actually it's Maul: Shadow Lord now. He's many things - an aMAULgamation, if you will. Anyway, there's an article and poster and trailer, oh my! Alyce forgot about the Dave Filoni Star Wars Avengers/Heir to the Empire film lol. But there's a new rumor that's probably nothing, so whateverLEGO is putting microchips in bricks now. Or maybe they've been doing that for a while? Don't know, but they're doing it with Star Wars now. CAPITALISM! (via StarWarsNewsNet)We're really out of the loop on whatever Galaxy of Heroes is, but if you know what those words mean, there's an Andor update coming.If you can get your crotch goblins to sit still for a second, maybe they can meditate with Grogu Recap on Tap: Ahsoka Again continues! Join us for a recap and discussion of Part 6: Far, Far Away, in which we galaxy-hop only to see a bunch of the same people from the last galaxy! Night Witches on Peridea: did they originate there or was that a bachelorette party gone wrong? Laura's toasting to toasting in her Toast To. Toast Inception.

Hold onto your lekku, because this week we're abandoning ship and diving straight into the Dark Side. First up, we're dissecting the brand-new trailer for Maul: Shadow Lord. Is Disney finally growing a pair and giving us a true villain protagonist, or are they just going to "Cruella-fy" our favorite horn-headed Sith? We're breaking down Maul's mysterious new "Acolyte" (could it be a canonized Darth Talon?), the "Inquisitor-lite" vibes of the new visual style, and why this show might finally bridge the 10-year gap between the Clone Wars fallout and his "ruler of the underworld" era in Solo. Then, the main event: Bogan's Advocate returns. We're putting Attack of the Clones on trial. Is it a misunderstood masterpiece of political intrigue, or just two hours of CGI sand and awkward flirting? Our guests Blake and Dan join the fray to defend the indefensible and debate whether Maul and Ahsoka could have actually saved the galaxy if they'd just stopped arguing about Anakin for five minutes.

This is the Way Podcast hopes your 2026 started off just the way you wanted. It's going to be an interesting year for Star Wars, but the calendar isn't full, by any measure.There is a new show debuting in April, a movie release a month later, and May the Fourth usually has some surprises. No "Star Wars Celebration" this year, even with The Mandalorian and Grogu coming, but Starfighter got a surprise "Cruise" member before wrapping up principal photography.Star Wars gamers will have to wait for new games, but there's an "old" one coming to the XBOX game pass. Hasbro listed three figures and a helmet this month and it might be smart to look up LEGO's newest offerings in the Star Wars category. Just make sure you go over the details brick by SMART brick before you make a purchase.There's Ahsoka news and maybe more awards for Andor and Disney parks is putting some original touches on Galaxy's Edge that could put a spark of rebellion back in Batuu.This is the Way Podcast will be participating once again in the annual Star Wars Podcast Day on February 7th of 2026. It's self-described as an annual, unofficial celebration of the Star Wars fan audio community.

On this episode, Dominic and Ben celebrate Ahsoka Day! They look back on the character's journey through the years, what she means to Star Wars fans, and what might be in store for her in the future. They also discuss the origins of Ahsoka Day, taking a trip back to 2008 to look at how the world first met the character. Then, they debate whether Anakin actually appeared to Ahsoka in the World Between Worlds or if that was just a manifestation of her fears in season one of Ahsoka. Plus, what's the deal with the new "Smart Brick" Lego sets, is Starfighter screenwriter Jonathan Tropper's deceiving us with his comments about legacy characters, and how could Sabine make the best possible entrance if/when she returns to the known galaxy?

We did it! We finished The Mandalorian! Not just the finale, but the first and second epilogue too!The action-packed conclusion to The Mandalorian brought laughs, drama, and really closed the loop on the themes of the whole series. We compare two big bads of the empire, Moff Gideon and Grand Admiral Thrawn; and worry about how we still don't know where Big Blue is (or what nefariousness he's up to). We also talk about the future of Mandalore as defined by its past and by its potential.Next week, our Ahsoka coverage begins with Ahsoka Part 1: Master and Apprentice.New to Growing Up Skywalker?

Last week Lucasfilm announced that Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down from her role as studio president, a position she has held since Disney's 2012 acquisition. Succeeding her are George Lucas' protégé and Ahsoka creator Dave Filoni, who will oversee the franchise's creative direction as co-president alongside former Lucasfilm General Manager Lynwen Brennan handling the business side of things. Kennedy still has an active hand as an executive producer of both Star War's next theatrical offerings: May's The Mandalorian & Grogu as well as 2027's Starfighter and will continue to produce other projects independently. Kennedy's tenure saw its fair share of highs and lows, especially contending with an often fickle fandom, but with multibillion dollar films under her belt her exit marks the end of an era.It was a surprisingly noteworthy MLK weekend box office– outside of Avatar: Fire & Ash's continuing reign, Marty Supreme became A24's top-performing film of all time with 80 million dollars domestically, surpassing Everything Everywhere All at Once, while Zootopia 2 became the highest-grossing animated film of all time globally with over 1.7 billion dollars, passing Inside Out 2. Meanwhile, Nia DaCosta's 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple opened below expectations with just 15 million dollars over the four-day weekend, falling well short of the 30-million-dollar debut of its predecessor and behind tracking projections of 20 million dollars. Despite the horror sequel's muted debut, it's been an unusually robust box office this January.Netflix has revised its $83 billion dollar deal for Warner Bros. Discovery to an all-cash transaction valued at $27.75 dollars per share, simplifying the structure to provide greater certainty of value for shareholders and accelerate the path to a shareholder vote by April. The amended deal, unanimously approved by both boards, maintains the same per-share valuation while WBD stockholders will still receive additional value from shares of Discovery Global following its spinoff, with Netflix financing the deal through cash on hand, credit facilities and committed financing. This update comes on the heels of Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos' renewed promise to keep WB studio films in theaters for at least 45 days before hitting streaming.Prime Video has released a first look photo of Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider series, which has begun production.Hans Zimmer, who has scored more than 500 movies and TV projects, will officially score the upcoming Harry Potter series for HBO Max in partnership with Bleeding Fingers Music, a composer collective that he co-founded.Sons of Anarchy star Ryan Hurst has been cast as main character Kratos in Amazon's upcoming God of War series, which is currently confirmed for two seasons and has begun pre-production. Teresa Palmer was also cast last week and will play Sif, Thor's wife and the goddess of family.Cate Blanchett has signed a deal to reprise her role as Viking warrior Valka in Universal Pictures' live-action How to Train Your Dragon 2.Warner Bros. has set Jorge R. Gutiérrez to direct an animated feature centering on the classic Looney Tunes character Speedy Gonzales, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned.

Why We Love Star Wars Novels: Behind the Scenes of Star Wars Generations Book ClubThe Star Wars Generations hosts pull back the curtain on their popular book club series, explaining what makes the written word such a powerful medium for galaxy far, far away storytelling. Erin, Alex, and Matthew share their personal journeys with Star Wars literature and preview upcoming selections.What makes Star Wars books worth reading when the franchise is so visual? While Star Wars is known for spectacular lightsaber duels and space battles, novels provide something films cannot: direct access to characters' internal thoughts and emotional struggles. This inside-the-head perspective reveals motivations, moral conflicts, and character development that external observation alone cannot capture, making quieter characters and complex political situations come alive.How did Karen Traviss's Republic Commando series revolutionize clone representation? Traviss transformed clones from the faceless soldiers seen in Attack of the Clones into fully realized individuals. By exploring what it means to be a 10-year-old mind in a warrior's body—someone with combat training but limited life experience—the series gave clones emotional depth and raised profound questions about creating sentient beings designed for war.Why do some fans prefer Senate politics to lightsaber battles? Books allow for detailed exploration of governmental intrigue and bureaucratic maneuvering that would never sustain a film or TV show. Whether it's Claudia Gray's Bloodline following Princess Leia through New Republic politics or imagining literal Senate meeting minutes from the late Republic era, novels serve readers who find the talking more compelling than the fighting.How do novels keep the Star Wars universe alive between screen content? For fans who grew up with limited films and shows, books opened doors to unexplored corners of the galaxy and filled gaps that visual media cannot cover. From the original Timothy Zahn Thrawn trilogy to modern canon novels, books answer lingering questions, develop side characters, and create the connective tissue between major events—including crucial story elements like Vader discovering Padmé's grave that many fans miss in comics.Other Topics Covered:How the Darth Plagueis novel makes the prequel trilogy more meaningfulThe value of reading movie novelizations for additional character insightHow Thrawn's journey from Legends books to Rebels to Ahsoka demonstrates the book-to-screen pipelineThe challenge of reading established film characters on page versus original literary creationsDoctor Aphra's successful transition from comics to audio dramatizationThe hosts' different relationships with comics versus proseImportant canon revelations happening in comics that fans might missHow books serve readers at different ages and knowledge levelsThe hosts invite listeners to read along and share their own Star Wars reading recommendations, with advance notice of upcoming topics for group discussion. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.
