Star Wars: Cantina Chronicles

Episode 9 - Pod Well

This week, we voyage to a distant galaxy and forgotten world of dreams and madness to discuss Ahsoka Part Six: Far, Far Away. After sharing our thoughts on Thrawn’s return and his involvement with the Witches of Dathomir, Baylan’s search for a great power from old Jedi tales, and Sabine’s reunion with Ezra, we bring back the medal ceremony to handout awards to our favorite characters, creatures and moments from the episode.

Episode 8 - Anakin or The Force?

This week, we go deep into our thoughts about Ahsoka’s time in the World Between Worlds and the lesson she learns therein. We also chat about Anakin’s return, Hera going rogue, and where things maybe heading now that Ahsoka has chosen to live! 

Episode 7 - Possibilities Abound

This week! Grant and Ben talk Ahsoka episode 4, Fallen Jedi and get into the motivations of Baylon Skol, the possible whereabouts of a certain cackling sith lord and the possible futures of Ahsoka under the tutelage of her former master.

Episode 6 - All Paths Lead To Luuke

This week, we gather in the Denab system to chat about part three of Ahsoka, Time to Fly. After exploring our thoughts about Sabine’s journey to wield the Force and Ahsoka’s new school of thought, we dive into all the greatest moments in the episode. 

With each scene we inevitably draw comparisons to Timothy Zahn’s, Heir to the Empire Trilogy and Outbound Flight novel—fueling even more speculation about many of the concepts we think Filoni might introduce in the series such as; Jedi Clones, The Outbound Flight Project, Mount Tantiss etc… 

Episode 5 - The Pod to Peridia

This week, we are thrilled to share our thoughts about the two-episode premiere of Ahsoka and deconstruct all the minutiae and lore explored in just two episodes. We know the show is a little inside gravball, so we try to take it slow, but Star Wars brain strikes again and we cant help but dig into every name drop, plot dump and lore development along the way. Please bare with us as we do our best to cover what seems to be the most epic Star Wars show to date. 

Episode 4 - It’s Tano Time

This week, we gather in the cantina to exchange our thoughts and theories about Ahsoka before the imminent two-episode premiere next Wednesday. Not only do we play prediction bingo and chat about Ahsoka’s story thus far, we also dive into the potential motivations and storylines for other returning rebels like, Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla and even Ezra Bridger.

Episode 3 - The Secrecy of Thrawn’s Return with Meg Dowell

This week, we’re honored to be joined by Star Wars literary expert, Meg Dowell (dorksideoftheforce.com, Now This Is Lit: A Star Wars Podcast) to breakdown Zahn’s final book in the Thrawn Trilogy, The Last Command! After discussing our impressions of the book and the trilogy as a whole, we push into uncharted space to discuss what could translate from these books to the upcoming live-action shows involving Thrawn. If you need a refresher on the Thrawn Trilogy or are looking for theories and speculation about the secrecy surrounding Thrawn’s return to the canon, you’re in the right place!

Episode 2 - Are Bothans Good?

This week, we gather in the cantina to chat about Timothy Zahn’s captivating follow-up to Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising. After discussing many of the brilliant ideas presented in the book, we examine whether bits of Zahn’s story could carry over into the upcoming Ahsoka series or fill in the gaps for concepts witnessed in the sequel trilogy. We then close the chronicle with some speculative chat about the feature-length New Jedi Order film and how it too might borrow from Legends…. 

Episode 1 - TONY GILROY WRITES A BOTHAN INTO ANDOR S2 (or so we hope)!
