Force Insensitive - A Star Wars Podcast

Now, as adults with a lifetime of fandom under their belts they get together to discuss the mythology, characters and business of creating STAR WARS! Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join the wretched hive of scum and villainy as we take the low road to resistance….

The more things stay the same, the more they change! We’re back with a fresh coat of paint for Season Five and we have a brand new live action Star Wars show to discuss on our season premiere episode! We will breakdown and dissect the first two episode of The Acolyte with S1.E1: Lost/Found and S1E2: Revenge/Justice. We will also talk about the show’s influences, the new species/tech/planets, and our suggestion on how to keep Carrie...

For our final episode of the neverending fourth season we preview the upcoming High Republic era live action show, The Acolyte! We’re excited for the first ever non-Skywalker live action series. This show will make or break the direction Star Wars takes in the future but we’re excited for the direction it appears to be heading in. We will discuss our hopes, dreams, predictions, and the importance of this show as it relates to futur...

This week brings an end to Tales of the Empire and Barriss Offee’s story. We discuss the final two episodes and the entire season as a whole, and offer up our thoughts on which Tales of show we liked better. But that’s not all. If you tune in now you’ll find out just what kind of alien has grey pubes on green skin, why you shouldn’t shame the shaman, and you may even learn the definition of a googly-eyed freshie!

Our coverage of Tales of the Empire continues on as we discuss episodes 3 and 4. In hindsight we probably shouldn’t have done the final Morgan Elsbeth and the first Barriss Offee episodes together, but what’s done is done. And what was discussed was discussed. There is blowing bubbles with jesus juice, psychedelic smears, and flaccid droopy side horns. Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join the wretched hiv...

This year May the 4th brought us a new series that we begin discussing as we get prepared for our next live action series, The Acolyte. This week we talk about the first two episodes of Tales of the Empire which focus on Morgan Elsbeth’s origin with the Empire and more importantly Thrawn. Although, this episode felt like it was missing a little something… a severe lack of drugs, edibles, and innuendo. Is that good or bad, you decid...

This week's episode is bittersweet because The Bad Batch has come to an end. While this season was the strongest of the three we still feel there was a lot left on the table. Ultimately was this a fitting ending to the season and to the series as a whole? We discuss that very topic, as well as theorize about what may become of an older Omega joining the Rebellion. Hopefully that doesn't result in her ending up on Rule 34!...

This week we discuss the penultimate episode of The Bad Batch with S3E14: Flash Strike. As we talk about it, we can’t help but wonder how they can possibly wrap this entire series up in just one more episode. We also hear a story we wish we hadn’t - let’s just call it the yambag massacre for lack of a better term. Just remember Omega and the Kids did it all for Tanuki!

Sometimes a change of scenery can do a lot of good. In our case, recording during the day made for a significant increase in the intelligence of the content of the show. Well, until it didn’t. You’ll have to tune in and listen to the comings and goings of the hosts to find out what we mean. We do manage some decent discourse this week as we inch closer to the end of The Bad Batch while talking about S3E13: Into the Breach. Bring pl...

This week we present a cornucopia of chaos and craziness. We begin by discussing The Bad Batch S3E12: Juggernaut and quickly take a hard right into oncoming traffic while dodging musical derailments, classic X-Men talk, and other random nonsense. You know, just a normal episode you’d come to expect from us. Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join the wretched hive of scum and villainy as we take the low road...

This week’s episode of The Bad Batch wasn’t a Harbinger of doom, but more of a Harbinger of awesomeness. We have the return of Asajj Ventress and we couldn’t be more excited to have her back! We dig deep into her history and highlight all the ways in which she is an incredibly badass character. We also try not to fap shame you when we talk about the latest Nike Spunk Buckets from Tchotchke and Hutch! Turn up your headphones, dial b...

We have much to discuss and don’t have time to clone shame each other this week. We breakdown S3E8: Bad Territory of The Bad Batch. This side questy episode had some good discussion but we were eager to talk about our feelings about The Acolyte trailer, which we spent a good amount of time on. There are vulgarities, absurdities, and even a little technomancing the stone. Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and jo...

This week we provide a double dose of discussion of The Bad Batch with two new episodes; S3E6: Infiltration and S3E7: Extraction. Unironically we also provide a double dose of dookie as we have a conversation that is mostly devoid of any entertainment value, comedy, or frankly anything of interest whatsoever. Are you sold yet? Well maybe we’re being a bit harsh so you can just judge for yourself. Turn up your headphones, dial back ...

This week we are once again excited to discuss The Bad Batch as we break down S3E5: The Return. The title got us excited for the return of a beloved character but despite not getting that, we still were treated to another solid episode. We discuss this and other things in great detail. Some of those things might make you wince, they might make you shudder, and they might even make you laugh. Before listening to this episode, make s...

We are once again excited to talk about The Bad Batch this week, which is why it's surprising that we had so many derailments! We finally get around to discussing our affection for the Crosshair & Omega team-up on S3E4: A Different Approach. We also get back on the chain code gang, pay a visit to ye ol’ pirate Rigging Tony, and find out which one fell off the yogurt wagon! Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilit...

The day has finally arrived where we can once again discuss a new Star Wars show. Granted, that show is the Bad Batch which we don’t have a great track record with, but we’re still ecstatic nonetheless. Might the first three episodes of the third and final season surprise us? They just might. Perhaps we have turned over a new leaf as tender Wreckers not tenderonis. Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join the...

As a companion piece to last week’s episode about the origin and evolution of The Force we decided to flip the coin over and discuss the evolution of technology in the Star Wars Galaxy.

What exactly is The Force? It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds up the entire galaxy so badly that it needs a Sith laxative. Or something like that. This week we explore the origins and evolution of The Force in Star Wars. We talk about its confusing beginnings and settle on one of the more interesting aspects of The Force. Of course we also talk about our favorite Force pow...

Good news is we finally have some new Star Wars on the schedule. Bad news is we have to fill a few more weeks with nonsense until we get there. We kick off this week’s nonsense by breaking down the new Bad Batch Season Three trailer drop. We talk about the plot points, the characters, and the surprises! We also discuss some of the other shows we might see in 2024. It’s just three men and a yub, so double check to make sure no one e...
