Star Wars: Cantina Chronicles

Episode 48 - Qimir's Man Cave

While Ben enjoys time on the relaxing beaches of Glee Anselm, Adam and Grant share their instant reactions to Episode 6 of The Acolyte! We discuss The Stranger's tactics and methods of seduction in his attempt to engender trust with Osha, Sol and Mae's cat & mouse game aboard a cramped Jedi transport, and most importantly, the arrival of Vernestrah Rwoh on the scene, that is, the crime scene left on Khofar. Stay tuned to the end of the episode to hear a spoiler-filled theory that addresses The Stranger's past and his connection to the Jedi Order!

Episode 47 - Darth Hypocratus

With Adam still on an away mission, Ben and Grant do their best to breakdown and share their instant reactions to the high-octane Episode 5 of The Acolyte. Join us as we plunge into a discussion about; the deeply compelling Sith villain revealed in the episode, the tragic loss of exceptional Jedi we’ve grown to admire, Osha’s possible brainwashing by the Jedi and the Aniseya sisters trading places and what that could mean for the story going forward. We too want an Acolyte, an Acolyte season 2! 

Episode 46 - The Phantom Master

Cantina Chronicles

Episode 46 - The Phantom Master

Join us as we use the daylight hours wisely to share our instant reactions to Episode 4 of The Acolyte. After the sun sets on our scene-by-scene breakdown, the darkness takes hold and we dive into our theories surrounding the many mysteries presented in the show including; the wrongdoings of the Jedi, the mysterious death of Kelnacca, and of course, the identity of The Master… That is, if his identity matters, as we’re beginning to suspect something far more arcane and sinister could be at hand (or better yet, on head). 

Episode 45 - The Witches of Brendok

This week, the crew gathers in the cantina minutes after the release of episode three of The Acolyte to share their instant reactions! With more light shed on the tragic events that befell Mae, Osha and their family of witches on Brendok sixteen years ago, we try to piece together the dangling threads that remain unanswered and predict what reveals lie ahead.

Episode 43 - Ranking Star Wars: The Shows

In anticipation of The Acolyte, the cantina crew gather around the bar to rank and discuss all the Star Wars shows that have been released and chronicled on this very podcast. Though it’s a given all of these shows are beloved to the hosts, they share their unbridled thoughts about what worked, what didn’t, and why a specific show ended up where it did on their respective lists. Enjoy! 

Episode 42 - Star Wars Jeopardy

Episode 41 - The Dangerous Yaya Shram

This week, the cantina crew gather at the local watering hole to review the latest stories in Star Wars comics. If you want to know what a Yaya Shram is or learn about Mace Windu’s homeworld, you won’t want to miss our coverage of the wildly entertaining Mace Windu miniseries. We also discuss the latest story arc from the Darth Vader main run featuring the Schism Imperial. 

Episode 40 - Somehow... Grant Returns!!!
