Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast
Join Mercules and Kyt Kutcha for weekly breakdowns of Star Wars media! We go over connections between the shows, movies, comics, games, and books (both Legends and Canon), as well as behind the scenes trivia and stories from production. Let's talk about Andor, Ahsoka, The Bad Batch, Tales of the Empire, The Acolyte, and more!

We are finally taking a look back at Andor's second season. When we ask ourselves the question, "Is Andor's second season truly a masterpiece?", we find it hard to answer any way other than an unequivocal YES! However, when we ask whether or not all Star Wars should be like Andor, that is a more complicated answer. Let's dive in!

Cad Bane's tale is a strong contender for the best of the series so far, up alongside Dooku's arc. From his background as a kid on the streets to finally putting on the iconic hat, it's interesting to see what led him to be the character we know and love from the Clone Wars. And even despite knowing how it ends up, they still manage to get some good tension into the finale, which is no easy feat. Let's jump in!

Let's talk about the first three episodes of Tales of the Underworld! A fun story dealing with Asajj's resurrection, and somewhat unique in the Tales series as the story is one long story instead of three separate ones. Let's jump in!

This block proves to be an absolute masterpiece. As incredibly well written as it is, it can be difficult to watch at times, when the parallels being drawn between what is happening in the fictional Star Wars galaxy and our own are getting clearer with each passing moment. Let's jump in!

In this brand new style of episode, we break down the timeline for Star Wars: Underworld, all the way from the first rumors of its existence in 2004 to the eventual public acknowledgement of its shelving in 2012, and then a resurgence in interest post Disney acquisition all the way up until 2017. We talk about George's vision, the writers room, and all the rumored stories that came out of it. Let's jump in!

We finish up our Nightsisters arc with two episodes that, combined, we feel give us the strongest story arc we have had up to this point in Clone Wars. While in the short term it is somewhat overshadowed by the Mortis arc that followed it, in the long term this arc has far reaching effects on the Star Wars universe beyond just the animated shows. Let's jump in!

This week we begin one of the strongest arcs that Clone Wars has had to date, fleshing out the relationship between Asajj Ventress and Dooku, and adding the Nightsisters to George's highest tier of canon. An excellent episode written by Katie Lucas, it walks the fine line of respecting what came before in the EU while adding just enough new info to make things exciting! Let's jump in!

The intro episode to a three part arc that dives deep into the politics of the Republic and the Separatists, introducing some characters that will be surprisingly impactful to the wider galaxy even if they are just barely given some screen time here. Let's jump in!

These two episodes combine to make one really fun "gangster" arc, with gratuitous violence and some absolutely ridiculous scenes that could only work in Star Wars. We'd both forgotten how interesting these episodes are, and they conclude Season Three's first extended arc on a high point. Let's jump in!

Clone Wars third season gets its first four episode arc, even if one of those episodes is technically from season one, but we get more Cad Bane so who's complaining? Both episodes have something to love about them, from getting to visit a scenic Alderaan to listening to Anthony Daniel's have a great time as C-3PO, so even if the stories themselves aren't the best they're still enjoyable to watch. Let's jump in!

Well, we have discovered that the Chronological list does appear to be wrong, at least in this case. These two episodes, we believe, are actually the first two episodes of Season 3, and they are maybe the best examples of standalone episodes we have seen so far. Each episode showcases a totally different side of The Clone Wars but they both to it really well. Let's jump in!

We return to Mandalore to investigate some smugglers who are flooding the black markets with *checks notes* poisoned tea? In what feels inspired by a 1950s black and white noir detective mystery, Satine and Padme team up to figure out who is benefitting from the current instability on Mandalore. Ahsoka shows up soon enough and gets to show us just how overpowered even a padawan is compared to normal people. Let's jump in!
Now that Skeleton Crew's first season has wrapped up, we can look back on the whole thing and figure out where it fits in the pantheon of live action Star Wars shows. What were our favorite and least favorite episodes, and which episode was improved the most by being able to see the whole story? Let's jump in!

The first season's finale is finally here and wow, is it a great one! They manage to both wrap up the story in a meaningful way and leave us with just enough unanswered questions to want more. We really hope to get a season two, but in the meantime let's jump in!

We have a lot to talk about with the penultimate episode of Skeleton Crew, with some conflicting opinions about how a few of the scenes are handled. In the end, we both agree that we're incredibly excited for the finale next week, and will need to revisit this episode with the information that is revealed in mind. Let's jump in!
