Happy Star Wars Day! To celebrate, hosts Eddie and Intern Manager Amy are diving deep into the emotionally charged and pivotal conclusion of the prequel trilogy: "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith," which fittingly turns 20 this month! Join the duo as they explore how this often-dark chapter dramatically shaped the Star Wars saga and arguably ushered in a new generation of fans. As longtime enthusiasts, Eddie and Amy will reflect on how their perspectives on the film have evolved since its initial release two decades ago, contrasting their first impressions with more recent viewings informed by their own life experiences. They'll also delve into the profound impact of Dave Filoni's animated storytelling – from The Clone Wars through its many follow-ups – and how the expanded lore and character development he's introduced have enriched their understanding and appreciation of "Revenge of the Sith" and the fall of Anakin Skywalker. From the tragic arc of the Chosen One to the birth of the Rebellion, join Eddie and Amy for a thoughtful and nostalgic Star Wars Day discussion that bridges the gap between initial reactions and the deeper understanding forged by years of fandom and Filoni's masterful contributions. May the 4th be with you!
Min 4: EL ETERNAUTA: Darín emerge de un viejo apagón El Eternauta, la esperada adaptación de la icónica historieta argentina de Héctor Germán Oesterheld y Francisco Solano López, ha llegado a Netflix como una ambiciosa miniserie de seis episodios dirigida por Bruno Stagnaro y protagonizada por Ricardo Darín en el papel de Juan Salvo. La serie, que ya se ha colocado en el destacado número 1 de la plataforma, nos sumerge en una Buenos Aires contemporánea asolada por una nevada tóxica que marca el inicio de una invasión alienígena, obligando a un grupo de sobrevivientes a organizarse y resistir unidos. Apuesta de gran factura que, sin embargo, para nuestra experta Raquel Hernández, no llega a tener la pegada y el nervio con el que la novela original embaucó a millones de lectores. NOTA EDC: 3 estrellas Min 15: STAR WARS CRÓNICAS DEL INFRAMUNDO Esta miniserie de seis episodios, creada por Dave Filoni, se adentra en los rincones más oscuros del universo de Star Wars, alejándose de los Jedi y los Sith para explorar las complejidades del submundo criminal durante la era del Imperio. La serie se centra en dos personajes emblemáticos: Asajj Ventress, una ex asesina del Lado Oscuro que busca redención, y Cad Bane, un cazarrecompensas que enfrenta su pasado al cruzarse con un antiguo aliado convertido en alguacil. A través de narrativas cargadas de simbolismo, la serie explora el inframundo criminal sin la presencia de jedis o rebeldes, ofreciendo una perspectiva fresca y audaz del universo Star Wars. NOTA EDC: 3 estrellas MIn 19: ASTERIX Y OBELIX: EL COMBATE DE LOS JEFES la nueva miniserie animada de Netflix ofrece una reinterpretación moderna del clásico cómic de Goscinny y Uderzo. Dirigida por Alain Chabat y Fabrice Joubert, la serie consta de cinco episodios de 30 minutos que combinan humor, acción y una animación 3D que rinde homenaje al estilo original de los años 60 y 70. Aunque se permite alguna licencia gruesa que atenta contra el canon de los míticos personajes del cómica, Raquel Hernández la defiende como una propuesta divertida y muy bien actualizada. NOTA EDC: 3 estrellas Min 24. THE LAST OF US 2X03: EL CAMINO TRAS EL DUELO Este capítulo marca un punto de inflexión en la serie, explorando las secuelas emocionales tras la impactante pérdida de un personaje nuclear y estableciendo nuevas dinámicas en un mundo postapocalíptico cada vez más complejo. El episodio introduce a los Serafitas, una secta religiosa que interpreta la pandemia del cordyceps como un castigo divino. Caracterizados por cicatrices faciales distintivas y una estética austera, representan una nueva amenaza en el ya peligroso mundo de Ellie y Dina. NOTA EDC: 4 estrellas MIn 33 ESPECIAL BSO SERIES DE APAGONES Y atención a la sorpresa que te traemos en el diván de la música de series. Cerrando la semana del GRAN APAGÓN te proponemos comprobar cómo suenan, cómo han sonado en clave musical, las series que ya nos han puesto sobre la pista de los momentos que millones de ciudadanos vivimos el lunes. Y ojo que la lista es curiosa y sugerente. Desde el propio ETERNAUTA, hasta el APAGÓN (de Movistar) pasando por la aclamada serie francesa COLAPSO, la americana REVOLUTION o el pelotazo de Netflix en 2023 con DEJAR EL MUNDO ATRÁS. Buenos compositores, atmósferas envolventes y argumentos sugestivos para cerrar la semana en la que se nos fue la luz. Pero sólo la eléctrica. La otra se va a hacer sentir alto y claro en este nuevo rato de radio y de series.

Send us a textFor this week's episode, the DetBlock Crew took a little different route. To start off, Mike opens his recent purchase from #TheorySaber, where he purchased a lightsaber #BOGO. Theory Saber is a company that was started up by Star Wars YouTuber #StarWarsTheory, who is considered the largest Star Wars YouTuber in the market. Mike has always wanted to get his hands on one of his sabers, since SWT was one of the main inspirations behind the creation of DetBlock, so he ordered the #Anakin #Skywalker replica version Ani III SE Proffie 36" blade saber. Being that it was a mystery BOGO, he had no idea what the other one would be. Come see which is the 2nd one he received!They then transitioned to playing kind of a fun game of #WouldYouRather. Their answers definitely did not disappoint! Did they get a little inappropriate at times? Certainly. Probably a little further than "a little inappropriate". However, they meant no harm and were just having a little fun. Play along and include your responses in the comments! They'd love to hear what your answers would be.#Jedi #Sith #Rebel #Empire #Republic #Force #cosplay #lightsaber #toy #nerd #geek #photography #tv #film #gamer #comic #book #movie #scifi #LucasFilm #StarWars Social Media Handles:TikTok: @DetBlockAA23Twitter: @DetBlockAA23PodInstagram: detention_block_aa_23FB Group: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastYouTube: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars #PodcastDon't forget to #SUBSCRIBE to our #YouTube channel for #podcast episodes and other content! #Prize #giveaway at 200 subs!

Quite a tragedy it was to hear about the loss of a great actor who portrayed many great roles in many great movies including #Iceman in #TopGun, #Batman / #BruceWayne in #BatmanForever, #JimMorrison in #TheDoors, Doc Holliday in #Tombstone, and many more. He was also up for the role of #ObiWanKenobi in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. RIP, Val.Finally, there has been some recent rumors circulating about the potential return of a possibility for a season 2 of the #Acolyte. This news is based off a social media data metric known as #ParrotAnalytics. The validity behind this is very much up in the air, but interesting to discuss.#Jedi #Sith #Rebel #Empire #Republic #Force #cosplay #lightsaber #toy #nerd #geek #photography #tv #film #gamer #comic #book #movie #scifi #LucasFilm Social Media Handles:TikTok: @DetBlockAA23Twitter: @DetBlockAA23PodInstagram: detention_block_aa_23FB Group: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastYouTube: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars #PodcastDon't forget to #SUBSCRIBE to our #YouTube channel for #podcast episodes and other content! #Prize #giveaway at 200 subs!

Send us a textFor today's episode, the DetBlock Crew had the pleasure of bringing in their 7th prisoner, Luke [not Skywalker], to showcase his passion for Star Wars. As he calls himself, the "Super-Duper Super Nerd." From a young age, Luke had immediately become a dedicated fan of Star Wars and went way deep into the collecting aspect that the franchise brings. Collectable cards, comics, books, toys, posters... you name it. Luke has collected it. The struggle eventually became, where will he keep the stuff? Especially, since his wife has set the restriction of "No Star Wars outside of the basement." Come join the Crew as they learn about Luke's fascinating adventure of collecting Star Wars items and the amazing stories that it has brought along the way. Not to mention, the fascinating people he has had conversations with that have played major roles in building the Star Wars universe. Such a testament Luke is to the true spirit of Star Wars fans. He's not collecting to gain a profit. He's collecting to build a passion and to even help others find the items they are passionate about themselves.Social Media Handles:TikTok: @DetBlockAA23Twitter: @DetBlockAA23PodInstagram: detention_block_aa_23FB Group: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastYouTube: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastDon't forget to SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for podcast episodes and other content!

Send us a textThe day after your DetBlock Crew discussed the news release from Puck and other outlets about the upcoming [potential] resignation of Kathleen Kennedy , Deadline released their interview with Kennedy in response to that news leak. The key line to pull from that... "The truth is, and I want to just say loud and clear, I am not retiring. I will never retire from movies. I will die making movies." Powerful response and statement to make. However, it is important to point out that the comment is on retirement , not about resigning. Meaning, not retiring doesn't mean she won't be resigning from her current position within Lucasfilm. In fact, she even speaks to the potential for her resignation within the year. On the flip side, that also doesn't mean she won't be staying on with Lucasfilm for some time either. Come listen to Mike, Dustin, and Bogie's thoughts on the matter.Social Media Handles:TikTok: @DetBlockAA23Twitter: @DetBlockAA23PodInstagram: detention_block_aa_23FB Group: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastYouTube: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastDon't forget to SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for podcast episodes and other content!

Send us a textWith this week's episode, the DetBlock Crew look to discuss the 2nd half [episodes 3 & 4] of the LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy show that they started last week. Let's just say, the back half was just as entertaining as the front half! I mean come on, what's not to like about a JEDI DART VADER?? They are both very pleased that they finally stumbled across this and look for to checking out other LEGO Star Wars content found on Disney+.From there, they look to discuss the next installment of the High Republic novel series that has come out. Temptation of the Force is the 2nd novel within Phase 3 of the High Republic, which Dustin just recently finished. Both Mike and Dustin have been really enjoying the previous novels from this era, well... maybe Phase 1 more specifically, so will this book live up to most of the rest? Well... um... maybe it should be considered more of a romantic love novel than a Star Wars book... Whoops, did I just spoil that?When can we go back to vintage Star Wars story telling??Social Media Handles:TikTok: @DetBlockAA23Twitter: @DetBlockAA23PodInstagram: detention_block_aa_23FB Group: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastYouTube: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastDon't forget to SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for podcast episodes and other content!

Send us a textThanks to the unintentional efforts of Dustin's son, the DetBlock Crew stumbled across the LEGO Star Wars show Rebuild the Galaxy on Disney+. Not that they hadn't heard of the show or knew what it was about, but they finally got around to watching it.

Thus, Dustin and Mike look to talk through their reactions and opinions about the first two episodes of the show. They'll then look to watch the final two episodes next week for their next discussion. It goes without saying, this is something they DEFINITELY enjoyed.
