Luke and Kelsey dive into the wildly uneven and weirdly paced first season of the Book of Boba Fett. it's a mess but we had fun talking about it
we all know the Jedi suck but the real question is: how much do they suck? turns out, a whole fucking lot.
happy holidays! Luke and Kelsey are here to start talking about the politics of the Jedi and we're doing that by talking about what exactly the Jedi do on a regular basis. It's not all wars and such, they have regular duties, so what are they? well, let's find out
in this episode, we talk about the politics of the Sith, which aren't terribly complicated because it's just power for power's sake. but we also got to name some random Sith, so who's to say if it's bad?
we're back and we've got a special guest. in this episode, Luke and Kelsey welcome Star Wars and sci-fi author, John Jackson Miller. Mr. Miller has written a number of things for Star Wars over the years, most of which were set in the Old Republic and we covered during our Legends Old Republic narrative. He wrote the KOTOR comics (series 4), the Lost Tribe of the Sith stories (series 8) and the Knight Errant stories (series 9) as well as the novel Kenobi and some stories for the new Canon as well. we talked to John about his work on the Old Republic, writing Revan, and so much more! check it out!
we're back to continue discussing the politics of the Force with more on the workings of the godlike Cosmic Force. this time, we focus on redemption in Star Wars, the presence of the Whills, and Solo Luck. enjoy!
We're back to continue discussing the politics of the Force. this time, we talk about the interesting aspect of the Force: the Cosmic Force. you know, the one that has its own will and moves people to achieve its goals and, on occasion, intervenes to save a Force user's soul. so check it out!
is the Force an energy field or a godlike entity? what does balance mean? does the Force actually care if people are good or evil? let's find out as we talk about how the different aspects of the Force work and how they affect the Galaxy Far Far Away
we're back and we've consolidated Thunderous Applause under PHOTOR. this is just a quick episode to talk about how the podcast will be structured going forward, what we will be covering on the show, and what you can expect in terms of regular and patreon content. we're glad to be back!
