Recorded on Wednesday, November 11, 2020 Is two weeks in a row considered a streak? Braden wasn't too excited about this week's chapter of The Baby Yoda Show (featuring a "Mandalorian"), so Ryan encourages him through a recap of Chapter 10, the appropriately named "The Passenger." During the discussion, he put on his "science teacher" hat and educated Braden about the differences between frogs, newts, geckos, and salamanders while trying to figure out what, exactly, Frog Lady is; as well as the reason that the phrase "estuary moon" makes no sense, even for a Star Wars show!

This week we're giving a little preview of all of the awesome Star Wars content coming in the next few months, from Resistance and the Mandalorian to games, books, and comics.

MANY THANKS TO OUR PATREON SUPPORTERS FOR HELPING US KEEP THE LIGHTS ON! - Angelic Empyress - Bart Smets EPISODE OUTLINE 1:00 - Where the heck have we been???!? We give a detailed, minute-by-minute breakdown of every thing that has happened to us over the past 6 months. By which I, of course, mean that we each talk about one thing that we did. 6:00 - We still don't know how we're going to be able to watch Season 2 of Resistance, but we do know that the first episode was great and the trailer for the season looks awesome. 12:15 - Also awesome?

Recorded on Saturday, April 28, 2019 It's a very timely episode, as Ryan, Braden, and (for about 10 minutes) Dillon discuss and make-up clearly incorrect theories about the trailer for Episode 9, now officially known as The Rise of Skywalker. And, by "now," I, of course, mean "as of two weeks ago." Along the way, we venture into the Unknown Regions as explored by Timothy Zahn in Thrawn: Alliances, as well as the treasure-trove of information that is the Legends side of Sheev Palpatine's Wookieepedia page.

MANY THANKS TO OUR PATREON SUPPORTERS FOR HELPING US KEEP THE LIGHTS ON! - Angelic Empyress - Bart Smets EPISODE OUTLINE 1:00 - Since we forgot to do it last week, we start with a quick thank-you up front to our patrons on Patreon. We also give a Patreon update and talk about our goal incentive, a commentary track for the "Bibo" episode of Star Wars Resistance. Want to help us get there? Click the link above! 3:50 - Bart from Belgium sent us a Celebration highlight e-mail a little after the deadline, but it tied in with our episode perfectly. So, I shared it with Braden! 6:20 - Brief introduction to the trailer and its 3 parts. 6:50 - We watch and discuss the first part of the trailer, "Rey in the Desert." The conversation touches on where we might be, who might be flying the TIE, and if what we're seeing is even real. 13:40 - We watch and discuss the second part of the trailer, "Lots of Stuff Happens." We try (and fail) to make sense of what we are seeing, and end up just listing everything that happened. 20:55 - We watch and discuss the final part of the trailer, "Surprise-O-Rama," and discuss the three big surprises that give rise to this segment's name. 24:51 - Who is this Skywalker of which you speak, and why might he / she / they be rising? Might some clues to this be found in Thrawn: Alliances? 28:49 - So, if Darth Sidious really is alive, what's the deal? Maybe we can get some clues about his role by looking at what happened when Palpatine returned in Legends.

Saturday and Sunday, March 16 and 17, 2019 The boys took a break from their St Patrick's Day revelry (complete with traditional... umm... Mexican food? Sure, why not?) to record the much anticipated 30th episode of Me and My Padawan! The show opens with a preview of some new music that a friend composed, followed by a discussion of Braden's plans for his solo show, "The Masterball Podcast." We then shift gears to talk about what we will be doing at Celebration, and a review of Marvel's Age of Republic Special Issue.
