Jack and Derrick reach the finale of Obi-Wan Kenobi, joined this time by their friend Ryan when Obi-Wan finally faces off against his old friend and new enemy Darth Vader! We haven't watched these episodes, so we don't have much of a summary here, but tune in for the conclusion before we dive into the next series in the chronology, Andor!
We dive further into the tale of Obi-Wan Kenobi protecting an annoying and precocious 10-year-old Leia Organa from the Empire! We learn more about the villain, more about what Obi-Wan has been up to and more about the galaxy far, far away.
Jack and Derrick sit down with Whitney to discuss their reactions to and thoughts on the new trailer for Disney's upcoming Star Wars series, SKELETON CREW!
Jack and Derrick begin their journey into Disney+ content of the Star Wars saga with the first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi starring Ewan Mcgregor! This series takes place approximately 9 Years BBY, placing it 10 years after Revenge of the Sith and 9 years before A New Hope. We follow the adventure of Obi-Wan Kenobi as he tries to protect Leia from a guy with a spinny lightsaber! Stay tuned for action and adventure (even though a...

Directed (kinda) by Ron Howard, this film is one of the LEAST successful entries in the Star Wars cinematic saga and has been cited as the reason for the decreased output of theatrical Star Wars properties in recent years.

Derrick and Jack close out their discussion of the prequel trilogy with arguably the best entry in the franchise. In this film, we leave much of the political chatter and pointless drivel behind to dive into the ACTION! Anakin still spends much time crying with Padme about babies or something. Still, Obi-Wan kicks some major ass, Dooku is unceremoniously murdered and a four-armed lightsaber-wielding robot takes his place. Anakin fi...
Part 2 of our discussion on Episode II of the prequel trilogy, we dive into this cringy snoozefest, while still trying to find redeeming qualities in what both Jack and Derrick consider one of the weakest entries in the Saga. The second Star Wars prequel film, directed by George Lucas and starring Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christiansen, Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson and a bunch of computer alien folks. Set ten years after the even...

For our premiere prequel episode, Jack and Derrick discuss the new Acolyte trailer. We also have a short segment with our co-host Whitney from Bad Movies Worse People where we all take a 100% scientifically accurate internet quiz to determine what kind of lightsaber we would have.
