This episode is a potpourri of things we want to share, as we recount the hilariously unpredictable Rise of Skywalker Celebrity Live Read and review Disney's live-action Moana, with some trivia thrown in for fun! The George Lucas Talk Show returned to Dynasty Typewriter on July 11 to stage a live reading of the original Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker film. The production featured an incredible cast of comedians and actors putting their own spin on Rey, Finn, Poe, Kylo Ren, Emperor Palpatine, and more. The all-star cast included Taran Killam (Saturday Night Live, Single Parents), Lou Wilson (Dimension 20, Jimmy Kimmel Live!), Vic Michaelis (Very Important People, PONIES), Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille, The Goldbergs), Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother, The Avengers), Paul F. Tompkins (BoJack Horseman, Mr. Show), Missi Pyle (Galaxy Quest, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), and surprise guest Rich Sommer (Mad Men, The Devil Wears Prada) as Force ghost Luke Skywalker. You can watch at swliveread.com. Sarah then shares her review of Disney's live-action Moana. How does this new interpretation compare with the beloved animated film? We discuss the cast, music, breathtaking scenery, expanded mythology, and whether this remake successfully recaptures the heart of the original. Read her full review here. Finally, we test your knowledge with a round of Disney live-action remake trivia. How well do you know Disney's reimagined classics?

The masterminded Darth Sidious, aka Chancellor Palpatine (we flip back and forth between the two this entire episode), had a grand plan that impacted an entire galaxy over decades of time...but there was always one thorn in his side for many of those years: the one and only Obi-Wan Kenobi. We thought it would be interesting to delve into all the ways Kenobi thwarted Palpatine's plans, be it intentionally or unintentionally, and how him being a general pain in Palp's ass turned things around for the galaxy as a whole.

In this discussion, CoopaDil & KRizz peer into the decline of the Jedi Order before the events of Order 66, analyzing whether they were already in decline or trapped in a changing galaxy. Also discussed are the political, structural, and philosophical shifts that led to their fall, offering new perspectives on the prequel era.Key Topics: Jedi influence versus independence - political pressure and systemic change - the role of Order 66 in the Jedi's fall - the impact of the Clone Wars on Jedi identity - Palpatine's manipulation and observation of the Jedi - structural pressures leading to decline.Takeaways: The Jedi were at their peak in influence but not independence sent; political and systemic pressure is gradually eroded Jedi authority; Order 66 was the culmination of a slow decline, not the start; the Clone Wars shifted Jedi roles from peacekeepers to soldiers; Palpatine's strategic observation was key to their downfall!Subscribe, rate and leave us a 5-star written review on Apple Podcasts, Deepcast.fm, Spotify or GoodPods.

In the vast universe of Star Wars, the Jedi have long been viewed as the guardians of peace and justice. On paper, the Jedi Order seemed to be thriving during the prequel trilogy with thousands of members and significant presence. Within the Galactic Republic, they appeared to wield immense influence. Instead, some became entangled in a system, that often compromises their core values. The Jedi order faced internal divisions that stemmed from differing opinions about Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one. This lack of consensus, created an environment of uncertainty that permeated The Order. With the rise of Palpatine and the shifting tides of power, the Jedi‘s role became increasingly ambiguous. Enter stage left, The Sith Order! The Sith are an order of Force-sensitive beings and the main antagonist in the Star Wars universe. Listen in to peer into the ideological antithesis and ancient enemies of the Jedi, if you dare. May the force be with you!Calling all Star Wars fans, which of the definitive Sith Order antagonists made the dark side of The Force awaken for you? Were you team Ancient Sith & Founders (Darth Bane, Lady Shaa, Lord Momin, Darth Atrius..) or team The Rule of Two (Darth Plagueis, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul, Darth Tyranus a.k.a. Count Dooku, Anakin Skywalker a.k.a. Darth…Vader!

Ian McDiarmid who played Emperor Palpatine / Darth Sidious has revealed that him and George discussed a Palpatine show back in the day before he sold Lucasfilm. The show would encompass Palpatine after Revenge of the Sith (maybe some flashbacks of Plagueis would be cool) and we would have gotten a more drama style show on the politics of the Empire.

Time marches on and we all feel old. This week, 'Toy Story 5' hit theaters, and while reviews have been positive, it's crazy to think we're onto the fifth installment in that franchise. In a similar vein, we recently learned that Mike Myers is interested in returning to 'Austin Powers', on the heels of his appearance in the trailer for another fiver, 'Shrek 5' (which already has people in it's own tizzy). Matt and Julian debate the merits of either prospect, and then turn the page to stare into the abyss that is AI invading Hollywood. Plus a grab-bag of entertainment stories covering odd popcorn bowls, a Knicks documentary, a scrapped Palpatine show and much more! Finally, to wrap things up, a brief discussion on 'House of the Dragon' season 3 premiere, 'Obsession', 'The Furious', and 'Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' (both in and out of concert).

The dark side rises as The Commentary Booth hosts, Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey, conclude their journey through the Star Wars prequel trilogy with a deep dive into Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.Widely regarded as the strongest entry in the prequel saga, Revenge of the Sith delivers the tragic downfall of Anakin Skywalker, the rise of Darth Vader, the execution of Order 66, and the birth of the Galactic Empire. But does the film truly earn its reputation, or is it simply the best of a flawed trilogy?Jamie and Corrina break down the film's darker tone, Shakespearean tragedy, and iconic moments, including Anakin's fateful turn to the dark side, Obi-Wan's heartbreaking confrontation on Mustafar, and Palpatine's masterfully orchestrated rise to power. Along the way, they discuss whether Anakin's visions of Padmé ultimately caused the very future he was trying to prevent, the effectiveness of Order 66, General Grievous' brief but memorable role, and how the film bridges the gap to the original trilogy.Highlights Breakdown: - Why Revenge of the Sith remains the standout film of the prequel trilogy - The inevitability of Anakin Skywalker's tragic fall to the dark side - Breaking down Palpatine's galaxy-spanning manipulation and long-term strategy - The emotional impact of Order 66 and the destruction of the Jedi Order - General Grievous, his unique design, and the surprising origin of his cough - Whether the story would have worked better as a prestige television series - The pair also examine the movie's biggest weaknesses, from its lengthy runtime and uneven pacing to some questionable CGI choices that haven't aged particularly gracefully. - Is Revenge of the Sith the masterpiece many fans claim it is, or simply a satisfying conclusion to an otherwise inconsistent trilogy? Join us as we revisit one of the most important chapters in Star Wars history.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

Si en capítulo anterior hablamos de los mentores que te hubiera gustado tener, hoy vienen a visitarnos LOS QUE TAMBIÉN TE GUSTARÍA TENER. La ficción está llena de héroes con grandes maestros. Pero los villanos tienen algo mucho más interesante: alguien que los rompió, los manipuló o les enseñó a mirar el mundo de otra manera. En este episodio analizamos a los mentores que moldearon monstruos. Los que enseñaron odio, ambición, nihilismo o poder. Palpatine, Ra's al Ghul, Magneto o Hannibal Lecter. Intentaremos responder a la gran pregunta: ¿el villano nace... o alguien le enseña a serlo? Con Mon Suárez. Y los memes de @diamocasin. Con El Selenita a cargo de la creatividad digital.

The Star Wars 50th Anniversary celebration continues on The Commentary Boothas Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey dive headfirst into one of the franchise's most divisive chapters, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.Set 10 years after The Phantom Menace, the galaxy is on the brink of civil war. Anakin Skywalker is no longer the bright-eyed child destined for greatness, he's reckless, emotional, and already showing signs of the darkness to come. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan Kenobi uncovers a mysterious clone army, Count Dooku begins pulling strings behind the scenes, and Padmé Amidala somehow ends up trapped in one of cinema's most awkward romances.Jamie and Corrina hold nothing back as they dig into why Attack of the Clones is widely considered the low point of the Skywalker Saga — from the notoriously painful script (locked in just three days before cameras rolled), to the all-CGI arena battle that left its own cast looking confused, to Anakin's legendary sand monologue that somehow became one of Star Wars' most iconic, even if unintentionally hilarious, moments.But it's not all criticism. The duo also celebrate what actually works: the subtle visual storytelling genius of clone troopers always moving right-to-left on screen, the sheer joy of Samuel L. Jackson demanding a purple lightsaber and getting it, Christopher Lee's undeniable gravitas as Count Dooku, the first glimpse of the Death Star blueprints, and a sly Jango Fett head-bang Easter egg that Disney has since made even better.Highlights Breakdown: - Why Attack of the Clones remains the most controversial Star Wars prequel - Breaking down the awkward Anakin and Padmé romance - The political themes and rise of Palpatine's power - Samuel L. Jackson demanding a purple lightsaber - The evolution of CGI and why parts of the film haven't aged well - Yoda's first lightsaber battle and “flippy-do” combat - Behind-the-scenes trivia about the rushed screenplay and production - Whether you're a die-hard Star Wars fan, a casual viewer revisiting the prequels, or someone who just needs to hear two people validate your feelings about this film — this is the episode for you.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

SummaryThis episode covers a politically driven arc of Star Wars the Clone Wars where the sides of good and evil are blurred more than ever before. Season 3 episodes 10 and 11 and Season 2 episode 15 delve into the political differences between the Republic and Separatists, showing that not all is as it seems. Major focus is given to Ahsoka and her reaction to meeting those she thought to be her enemies. Only this time, it is a battle of ideology, not blasters and sabers.The arc goes in a wild direction when murder meets a close friend of Senator Amidala. While the local police chase their tales, we get into the strangeness of senators investigating crime.KeywordsStar Wars, Senate, Crime, Republic, Separatists, Padme Amidala, Bail Organa, Onaconda Farr, Clone Wars, Mina Bonteri, Peace, Jedi, Sith,TIMESTAMPS00:00:07 - Evan's birthday surprise begins00:00:28 - Jacob reveals the Jar Jar Binks face-tracking filter00:01:56 - Jacob explains spending six hours building the Jar Jar setup00:06:24 - Technical breakdown of creating the Jar Jar avatar00:09:27 - Full recap of the Clone Wars Senate arc00:16:01 - Evan explains why he normally dislikes Senate episodes00:17:18 - Discussion about humanizing the Separatists00:19:18 - Ahsoka's perspective on the “enemy” begins changing00:21:17 - Discussion about Jedi exposure to Separatists before the war00:26:03 - Why this arc is crucial for Ahsoka's character development00:28:02 - Discussion about civilian casualties and Republic responsibility00:36:01 - Why both sides believe they are morally right00:39:19 - Palpatine manipulating both sides of the war00:41:17 - Were Padmé's peace efforts doomed from the start?00:45:22 - Debate over creating more clones00:48:20 - War profiteering and the Banking Clan discussion00:54:54 - Comparing Lolo's actions to Anakin's moral decline00:59:16 - Does Padmé's moral victory actually matter?01:04:14 - Final thoughts on why the Senate episodes still matter01:05:24 - Tease for Evan's next “gift”

This week we swerve into racing game nostalgia, Star Wars Galactic Racer, and the eternal question of whether Star Wars fans actually like Star Wars. We break down The Rise of Skywalker's infamous “somehow Palpatine returned” problem, react to early buzz around the next Mando/Grogu adventure, and get weirdly excited about the Garfield Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair drop. Then we fully derail into Red Bull Crocs, chat-powered Star Wars Mad Libs, The Punisher, Big City Greens, and Christopher Lee.. We also reminisce about our favorite Star Wars experiences, ramble on with stories of the good ol' days, nerd out about current and upcoming Star Wars shows, books, and games, and talk a little bit about life.

Hunter is taking a quick break this week, so Jessica is joined by the man behind the curtain—The Purrgil Pod's very own editor, Darryl! Darryl wastes absolutely no time coming in hot with a controversial take: Maul: Shadow Lord is the greatest Star Wars show ever made (sorry, Andor fans).The Empire has officially locked down Janix, and a very freckled Lieutenant Blake is here to ruin everyone's day. As Chief Clyice faces a highly suspicious "permanent" transfer, Captain Lawson tries to survive the Imperial Inquisition the only way he knows how—by consuming an absolutely dangerous, unhinged amount of caf. Meanwhile, Two Boots starts to rethink his life (?) choices, and Maul gets a much-needed mechanical knee tune-up after taking a brutal kick to the shin from Uncle Daki.The action hits overdrive in episode six with burning apartments, rooftop escapes, and a classic Indiana Jones-style lightsaber showdown on top of a moving train.

Maul doesn't threaten Devon — he listens to her, needles her anger, and offers to be whatever monster she needs him to be. Matthew and Alex dig into episodes three and four of Maul: Shadow Lord, breaking down why Maul's approach to dark side recruitment is so much more effective than anything Palpatine ever tried, and what it means for where Devon is heading.The hosts debate the droid at the center of the episode's most divisive moment.  Is Two Boots a narc, a snitch, or just a cop following his programming, and pull that thread into a bigger conversation about free will, droid autonomy, and what it takes for a character like this to switch sides. Meanwhile, the Empire is closing in, and the fault lines between Devon and her master Daki are starting to show.From a one-handed lightsaber duel that's really a power move in disguise, to speculation about Inquisitors, surprise voice actors, and whether a certain character bisected on screen is actually dead — this is a fun, fast-moving reaction conversation with a lot to say about one of Star Wars animation's most exciting new chapters.Mentioned in This EpisodeThe Clone WarsStar Wars RebelsThe AcolyteAndor**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

A heist on a crime-syndicate planet, a “Duel of the Fates” needle drop that hasn't been heard since The Phantom Menace, and a Sith lord who barely has to break a sweat... Maul is off to a hell of a start. Matthew and Alex welcome TruStory FM co-owner Pete Wright to break down the first two episodes of the new animated series, set in the lawless underworld of Janix at the dawn of the Empire.The conversation covers the Blade Runner-meets-cop-noir world-building, the “sandwich prequel” problem of writing a character whose beginning and end we already know, and the big question: can Maul sustain eight episodes as a title character? Matthew makes the case that Maul is a Cassandra figure — he sees Palpatine's plan clearly and completely, but his methods mean no one will listen to him. Meanwhile, Pete brings a sharp outside perspective on what the show owes to Andor's willingness to let crime politics breathe.There's also spirited debate over Devin Izara and her Jedi master, whether the show's hallway fight scene has earned its place in a now-crowded genre, and where Crimson Dawn fits into Maul's long game — because Palpatine, as it turns out, is playing Candyland, and the outcome was never really in doubt.Star Wars Generations**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Six years after Endor, the Emperor is reborn! Luke tries to learn the secrets of the dark side of the Force to bring down Palpatine, while Leia fears her brother will be lost forever.

Pong Krell doesn't just make the clones suffer; he makes the audience question everything the Republic claims to stand for. Matthew and Alex dig into The Clone Wars' Umbara arc, one of the darkest and most ethically uncompromising storylines in all of Star Wars, in which a Jedi general treats the 501st as expendable cannon fodder, refuses to learn their names, and engineers a situation where clone kills clone. This is Star Wars Generations Podcast, where different generational perspectives meet every corner of the galaxy.The conversation moves from the Umbarans as an uncomfortable allegory for resource-driven invasion, to the specific character arcs of Rex, Fives, and Dogma, to a genuine debate about whether the arc's big Krell reveal is a bold storytelling choice or a missed opportunity. Matthew argues the show flinches by making Krell a calculated traitor rather than a Jedi genuinely broken by war. Alex thinks the horror lands either way. They also get into whether Palpatine deliberately set this whole situation in motion — and what it means for Order 66 that clone trust in the Jedi was already fracturing here.What makes the Umbara arc so enduring is that it works on every level at once: it's a war story, a character study, a political parable, and a piece of dark foreshadowing that pays off across multiple seasons. Fives, Rex, and Dogma all leave Umbara different people, and this episode tracks exactly how and why. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

He established the Rule of Two which effectively set in motion Palpatine's rise to power and the destruction of Jedi. Then he effectively broke it multiple times.Of course so did pretty much every Sith Lord who ever followed after him... including Palpatine, Dooku, and even Vader... seriously... you can't say the Jedi are dogmatic when without looking in the mirror!!!Join Mark, Brian, and Garrett - and guest Brian Miller - as they discuss Darth Bane on the newest episode!!!

Long before Palpatine plotted the downfall of the Jedi Order... long before Darth Plagueis was wise... long before Darth Bane initiate the Rule of Two... and long before Darth Revan lost his memory and thought he was a Jedi, there were the SithMillennia before the epic ever came to the cultural zeitgeist, a species of violent, warmongering Force users steeped in the Dark Side ruled their corner of the Outer Rim from the planet Korriban.Join Mark, Brian, and Garrett as they discuss the lore behind the alien race whose name became assumed by more powerful Dark Side users and learn about those who preceded the anti-Jedi.Also, we're pretty sure one of Faith Hill's late-90's country-pop classics was a secret Star Wars song.

Darth Maul doesn't just survive; he conquers. With Matthew out of town, Alex and Erin take over Star Wars Generations to dig into Maul's arc across The Clone Wars Seasons 4 and 5: the Death Watch alliance, the takeover of Mandalore, and the cold, calculated murder of Satine — engineered specifically to break Obi-Wan.The hosts trace how Maul goes from drifting through space to ruling a planet and commanding multiple crime syndicates in a matter of weeks, and what it reveals about his obsession with Kenobi. They also reckon with Palpatine's stunning arrival on Mandalore — dual-wielding lightsabers, dissolving Savage to nothing — and what it means that the Emperor kept Maul alive on purpose. Plus: the tragic arc of Savage Opress, Almec's return as a puppet ruler, and the surprisingly deep roots these episodes put down for The Mandalorian, Rebels, and everything that came after.Related episodes: Maul's revival in S4 E21–22 · The Box arc with Embo, S4 E15–18**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Darth Maul Shadow Lord will show a more progressive version of Maul where he now respects the Jedi in comparison to Palpatine and the Empire. I see the pattern that studios keep taking darker characters by giving them strong morality checks and while this is true in life and character progression, I don't think ALL characters should get a dose of this. Like Kratos for example, he was too different in the Norse games compared to the Greek ones. Yes, character progression and changed thinking is a thing, but I think Maul could still despise the Jedi while hating the Empire all the same like his character always did. Him switching up and respecting the Jedi now shows his own weakness that just because Papa Palpatine hurt him, now he's going to go softer on the ones who (he thinks) destroyed his life.

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.

We conclude our Star Wars season with 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, J.J. Abrams' second stab at the franchise having kicked off the sequel trilogy with The Force Awakens 4 years prior.Where the latter was an exercise in replaying familiar hits, Episode IX was all about course correction after the split fan reaction to The Last Jedi. Kylo Ren has his mask back, force ghost Luke likes his light sabre again and Palpatine is back. Somehow.But is the magic back? Contrary to Luke's declaration in The Last Jedi, I'm afraid this one is going to go the way you think.Join the Redshirt Cinema Club!

25 years after Palpatine improbably returned and was even more improbably defeated, the New Republic has fragmented. On the quiet Outer Rim planet of Talamere the inhabitants go about their daily business untroubled by the events of the wider Galaxy and try to put their pasts behind them. But some things can never stay buried for long, and the burning question remains - does everyone deserve a shot at Redemption? Cast!

It's Star Wars Podcast Day 2026, and we're bringing the Star Wars community a very special episode with a new "What If" scenario. This time we're asking: What if Anakin had told Obi-Wan, instead of Mace Windu, that Palpatine was a Sith? What would have happened? Assuming Obi-Wan was not on Utapau and was instead on Coruscant at the time, what would the outcome have been? Would anything be different, or would it have remained the same? We propose many scenarios throughout this episode, but we also want to hear from you - what do YOU think would have happened? Was Anakin too far gone? Would Obi-Wan have died instead of Mace, and thus changed the entire course of Luke and Leia's futures? There's so much to ponder, and what better occasion than Star Wars Podcast Day to muse it over? (And of course we want to give a special thanks to our amazing patrons for providing the idea for this episode!)

Maul Returns: Breaking Down the Shadow Lord Trailer and His Clone Wars SurvivalThe Star Wars timeline between Revenge of the Sith and Rebels remains one of the franchise's most intriguing periods, and the upcoming Maul: Shadow Lord series drops us right into the early Imperial era. With the trailer now public, we're revisiting how Maul survived being bisected in The Phantom Menace and examining the Clone Wars episodes that revealed his shocking return, along with the trailer itself. From spider-legged madness to criminal syndicate mastermind, Maul's journey through the underworld of the galaxy takes center stage as he faces Inquisitors, builds his empire, and potentially trains a new apprentice in Darth Talon.In this episode, we discuss:When does Maul: Shadow Lord take place in the Star Wars timeline, and how does it connect to The Bad Batch and Solo?What are Maul's motivations during the early Imperial era, and why is he building a criminal empire?How does the character of Savage Opress differ from Maul in his approach to brutality and the dark side?Why does Maul constantly seek apprentices, and what does this reveal about his psychological state after being abandoned by Palpatine?What makes the Clone Wars episodes revealing Maul's survival so important for understanding his character arc?How does Maul's obsession with both destroying and mimicking the Sith master-servant dynamic define his actions?**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

We return to the final days of the old Republic. But not the Old Republic. That's different, now, that's like... an even older time before all this. Anyway, the Battle of Coruscant has concluded and its heroes, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi can finally come home for a little rest. And a little scheming. And a little paranoia. The Jedi Council members spin their wheels despite having all the clues. Palpatine spins the world around his finger. And Padme, Anakin's Wife (remember this), is also there.

Welcome to Databank Brawl Rewind! Databank Brawl was a series that ran on ForceCenter from 2016 to 2020, and it remains one of our more beloved shows. Though Databank Brawl is on hiatus, we wanted to celebrate it along with longtime listeners of the podcast and reintroduce it to the ForceCenter listeners who began listening to the podcast after the end of the show's run. Though all of the episodes remain on our podcast feed, it can be daunting to scroll back and find them, so we're launching Databank Rewind. Here's your chance to go back to those episodes week by week and laugh with us at old jokes, memorable moments, unforgettable guests, and, yeah, old microphones, recordings, and perhaps some Star Wars predictions that came true alongside many that most certainly did not. Databank Brawl -- where Star Wars characters are plucked from the entries of the StarWars.com databank and forced to fight it out in an off-the-cuff podcast moderated by Joseph Scrimshaw. It's time to fight...From the minds of Ken Napzok (comedian, host of The Napzok Files), Joseph Scrimshaw (comedian, writer, director of Dead Media), and Jennifer Landa (actress, YouTuber, crafter, contributor on StarWars.com) comes the ForceCenter Podcast Feed. Here you will find a series of shows exploring, discussing, and celebrating everything about Star Wars. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts.
