Episodes
Ben and Adam accidentally told Grant to meet at the wrong bar, so it's just the two of them this week. After discussing the weekly news, the co-hosts jump into the first five issues of the Kylo Ren: Legacy of Vader comic. The amount of connection and backfilling that Charles Soule is able to do between Episodes VIII and IX is astonishing.
After 4 years of incredible books, short stories and comics, we at long last come to the end of this sprawling narrative achievement known as The High Republic initiative. Please enjoy our review of the culminating, final novel, ‘Trials of the Jedi,’ by the brilliant, Charles Soule.

The final three episodes of Andor are out now on Disney+, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how Tony and his talented team brought this story to a close. What was once declared a TV series about a mysterious and elusive spy from Rogue One has now become the foundational tale of the Rebellion itself. Come home to yourself, and join us as we discuss all that happened in the three-episode finale and share in all the fun that is ta...
Much like a force healer, we feel the weight of things in the pressurized, penultimate arc of Andor Season 2. From the harrowing Ghorman Massacre to Mon’s stirring speech and courageous move to name Emperor Palpatine as a monster and force of evil in the galaxy, we discuss it all and even connect the dots to the rest of the canon established in Rogue One and Rebels.
The light is blinking, and that means it’s time to leave the safehouse and pod about Andor! This week, we dig into episodes 204-206 and parse through all the character arcs and events. Early in the episode, Grant shares a major theory about our favorite Antiquarian. This is a Cantina Chronicle you will not want to miss!

Take shelter in the cantina during these dark times to hear our review of ‘Star Wars: Reign of the Empire; Mask of Fear’ by the wildly talented, Alexander Freed.

This week, the cantina crew cover some theme park news before diving into a discussion about the recent Andor season 2 live stream.
