Episode 120 - A Dyad Has Emerged

Tom “cam op” Cruise helps film a lightsaber duel in Shawn Levy’s, ‘Star Wars: Starfighter’? New leadership at Lucasfilm? The cantina crew light the fuse and discuss these explosive stories, and the nearly impossible mission ahead for these newly anointed masters taking over for master storyteller, super-producer, and visionary business leader, Kathleen Kennedy.  

 

Episode 119 - Only a Master of Evil, Darth

The time has come to journey into the nexus of the dark side with our review of Adam Christopher’s, ‘Master of Evil,’ a mesmerizing and haunting novel centered around Darth Vader and his quest for knowledge and power during the burgeoning of the Empire.

Episode 117 - Getting it Right

As we work to assemble our squad to continue the campaign next week, we deliver another standard episode to chat about recent news about Starfighter shared by the film’s director and box office king, Shawn Levy.

Share your thoughts about the film in the comments below and we’ll be sure to address them the next time we chat Starfighter!

Episode 116 - The Last Order

This week, we gather at Resistance HQ to review the ‘The Last Order’ by Kwame Mbalia! A deftly written war story that delves into Finn and Jannah’s traumatic past as troopers in The First Order, and offers a first glimpse of the post-war theater of the galaxy after the battle of Exegal. A fascinating read that explores the harrowing culture of the fascistic regime bent on controlling and desensitizing the youth of the galaxy, the trauma of a soldier’s life and how one can either overcome it or succumb to it, as well as newly developed backstory for saga film standouts like Finn and Jannah!

Episode 115 - Touching the Shadow

Torn between light and dark like Kylo Ren, we share what we love about ‘Star Wars: Visions’ and the ‘Legacy of Vader’ comics but also air our discontent with Disney for how they publicly cancelled the ‘Acolyte,’ and even call out Lucasfilm for the clunky delivery of compelling lore in both past and future stretches of the timeline.

Episode 114 - From Pabu with Love

With the campaign requiring a bit more work to schedule and mix, the trinity has assembled to provide a standard episode of Cantina Chronicles as an interstitial before their next adventure in the galaxy far, far away. In this episode, the trio discuss ‘The Hunt for Ben Solo’ and share all their spicy takes on the now cancelled project. After to talking Ben Solo and the Star Wars development pipeline in general, the crew move onto their review of ‘Star Wars: Sanctuary’ by Lamar Giles.
