The Canon Cantina: A Star Wars Podcast
A Star Wars podcast that celebrates characters & stories in Canon and Legends, including films, TV shows, games, and more. We love Star Wars, but also have a good time poking fun at & criticizing some of the sillier aspects of our favorite galaxy far, far away. Whatever your favorite part of Star Wars is, we've got some thoughts on it. If you want to have a great time talking about Star Wars and maybe even learn something new, grab a seat at The Canon Cantina.

Mike & Jesse watch The Rise of Skywalker together, then talk about the direction of fandom & the possibilities of the sequel cast returning in the future. We weren't sure when to release this one, thought we would wait for a "better time." But at this point it doesn't seem like a better time will be here anytime soon.

This week we try a Podracer themed cocktail, The Dud Bolt, and take a dive into Palpatine's past. We discuss how his role in Star Wars changed through time and look at his relationship to the Skywalkers and Star Wars fans from 3 perspectives: Legends, New Canon, and casual, film-only information.

Now that we've both had a chance to see Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker several times in theaters, we sit down to discuss how our views may have changed since our initial reactions.
