The Elven Padawan - #16 - LIVE from RathaCon 2018!!

The Elven Padawan - #19 - Updates on Star Wars Animation

It's time to discuss all the amazing news coming from Lucasfilm animation as only two fangirls can! Please welcome Grace back to the studio as she and Shay talk about everyone's favorite cartoons in a galaxy far, far away! On this episode, we talk about the upcoming STAR WAR: RESISTANCE show, as well as the return of THE CLONE WARS!! We go over the animation style of Resistance and the reaction it's gained so far, as well as our thoughts on the whole thing, including Dave Filoni's involvement and how it measures up to the history of Star Wars animation. We break down the teaser trailer in slo-mo and get incredibly confused regarding the names of most of the characters. Then we cover that *amazing* news about The Clone Wars, and how that show returning might be dictating some things concerning Resistance. Apologies for some of the confusion about characters names and such; since this episode was recorded before the latest information dropped, we were pretty much winging it!

The Elven Padawan - #18 - An Especially MARVELous Episode

There's been a lot of craziness in the Star War fandom lately, so we've decided it's time to take a quick detour into another fandom that needs some serious love right now: the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Shay and return guest Aceofstars16 are here and more than ready to obsess about Marvel. Peter Parker, Tony Stark, and Dr. Strange haters beware: Infinity War broke our hearts and we will not hold back any love from these amazing heroes. We also discuss details of AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING, and DOCTOR STRANGE at length, so if there's anyone who's still planning to play catch-up on the movies thus far, beware of major spoilers! We also go over our favorite MCU ships (including several very obscure ones,) give some due credit to several ridiculously underrated Marvel ladies, and discuss how fictional stories, even the most heartbreaking ones, help us cope with the real world.

The Elven Padawan - #17 - Solo: A Star Wars Story

Ok, let's be honest - "Squee Session" would probably be a much better name than "Review" for what happens in this episode. Shay is thrilled to welcome TEP blogger Audrey to the podcast!! Together the two girls talk about the newest installment in the Star Wars movie series, SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY. They keep their fangirling spoiler-free for the first 6 minutes, but after that, the floodgates are open, and they don't hold back! Was there anyone truly "good" or "bad" in this film? Will we be seeing a sequel or follow-up to SOLO? What did **** really want with Qi'ra?? And that one character who we all now love!! We also discuss some of the cool references and easter eggs hidden throughout this movie and do our best to answer a listener question about crossovers from other parts of the Star Wars universe.

The Elven Padawan - #16 - LIVE from RathaCon 2018!!

Shay's newest podcast comes to you directly from the exhibit floor of Ratha Con in Athens Ohio, where she's joined by a special surprise guest -- Zoe Hinton, co-host of Star Wars Geek Girl! The two discuss Ratha Con and conventions in general and talk a lot about cosplaying, along with various other topics that arise, such as the Solo: A Star Wars Story Red Carpet, wacky dreams, and... wait for it... wait for it... Star Wars Rebels!! (Seriously, what did you expect from these girls?) Special thanks again to Zoe and her family, as well as the organizers of Ratha Con for letting The Elven Padawan be a part of 2018's show, and all those who stopped by the table to check out TEP and who participated in our part of the RathaQuest.

The Elven Padawan - #15 - Galactic News + Mothers in A Galaxy Far, Far Away

The Elven Padawan podcast is back from hiatus! Shay is joined by fellow teen fangirl, Grace, who also happens to be an up-and-coming fan artist. As you've come to expect from this podcast, the episode starts out with a review of the most recent Star Wars news; they review the most recent batch of Forces of Destiny shorts and discuss whether they believe these are "necessary" additions to the Star Wars franchise; they cover the announcement of Star Wars Resistance, their ideas on the new style for the show, and which returning characters they would most like to see come into play; and with the premire of Solo: A Star Wars Story only a short way ahead, they discuss their feelings towards the film, and the characters of Han Solo and Lando Calrissian in general. Finally, in honor of Mother's Day, they discuss some of the great mother characters throughout the saga, with a special emphasis on Leia Organa and Hera Syndulla. They also fail miserably with any attempt to NOT rant for a half hour about Star Wars Rebels. Please subscribe and leave a review on SoundCloud, iTunes, and GooglePlay Music!
