The Skyhoppers Podcast

The Youngling lightsaber crystal arc of THE CLONE WARS this week! We have a lot of fun with these episodes, and experience a fair amount of dread knowing what comes next. Also included: Is It Edible?, a truncated This Week in Star Wars, and some discoveries regarding a certain KSE Firespray-class Patrol Craft.

Two whole weeks in a row. We’re really doing it folks. And in this super-sized continuation of whatever “it” is, we’re diving into the Onderon Rebellion arc from Season 5 of THE CLONE WARS! How they ever pulled this off is a mystery. We also resurrect a favorite segment from the past.

Sorry for the wrestling nonsense, but also not sorry.

The results are in: we’re all in LOVE with Skeleton Crew!! Fern! Neel! Wim! KB! SM-33!!!! There is so much to love, and this is very much an episode in the classic style where we basically just gush for the duration. Well, once we get through all of the other pent-up Star Wars nonsense that you know and love us for.

Sigh. I’m not gonna make a big deal about how we’re back. I respect you all too much for that. But Skeleton Crew pulled us out of our hovels long enough to talk some Star Wars! Well, that and some interesting casting rumors.

The Acolyte season 1 has come and gone! And we’re left feeling conflicted! Positive overall, but still conflicted. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Did the right people do the wrong things? What is Vernestra’s deal? All I know is that there had BETTER be a season 2!

Two episodes inside a month! Maybe we really ARE back. At least Cole and I. Dakota is on a plane maybe? Anyway. Episodes 4-6 of The Acolyte this week! Consider us floored.

By the will of the Force, we’ve returned!!! It’s been quite a minute, but The Acolyte is here to bring us out of hibernation. Does it live up to the hype from the last three and a half years? We think so, but there’s still plenty of show left to unravel…

This is a very special episode because we’re joined by the famous friend of the show KIRBY to chat about his feelings on recent Star Wars media as well as his personal relationship with the franchise. Which of course gives Cole and I plenty of room to talk about those things as well. News is light, but we’re all hoping for a big 2024 from Lucasfilm!

We’re back for the second week in a row to discuss the finale of season 1 of AHSOKA. Overall? Pretty dang good. But are we left with more questions than answers? Also discussed: From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi! Also very good!

Well, I wasn’t able to join Cole and Dakota on this episode traipsing around beyond the reaches of our known galaxy, but I’m sure they had a FANTASTIC conversation recapping episodes five and six of AHSOKA. But I guess we can all just listen and find out, can’t we?

Ahsoka continues, and there are big things happening!! And then some things happening that are maybe supposed to be big, but they didn’t feel that big to some of us. But we’re all enjoying the show and looking forward to see what happens next!

Ahsoka really does just feel like Rebels part two, and it’s all the better for it! We catch up on the three episodes that have come out to date and end up feeling pretty warm and fuzzy about them, against all odds (but not really because of Ahsoka herself. Like at all). Ben is also continuing on the journey to catch up with Canon and has moved on to Black Spire hot off the heels of Rise of the Red Blade, which we loved.

We were at Gen Con two weeks ago! Which was fun, but it kept us away from the podcast. But we’re back now to report on the Star Warsy things we did at Gen Con as well as to spend like 45 minutes talking about Ahsoka (both the show and the person).

We do some catching up this week: checking in with Cole re: Jedi: Survivor, talking to Dakota about Path of Vengeance a little bit, and of course… the Ahsoka trailer. There’s a lot to say about that last one.

THE WAIT IS OVER! You’ve all been waiting with bated breath, right? I’m sure. Anyway. Eva has taken a step back from the pod, but the rest of us are here to (mostly) cover (mostly) everything we’ve missed! Mando S3,. Visions, THR, and Survivor! It’s good to be back, friends. Thanks for sticking with us <3

Hi! We’ve been gone! And we’re not sure exactly when we’re going to be back. But we’re talking about it!

Hi! We've been gone! And we're not sure exactly when we're going to be back. But we're talking about it!

This might be the biggest Star Wars podcast ever recorded. That’s probably hyperbole, but I don’t even care because it certainly felt that way. We cover not one but TWO episodes of THE MANDALORIAN leading up to the season finale and of course everything that dropped at STAR WARS CELEBRATION. Excitement ensues!
