106: We Don't Talk About Jabba, No No

You thought they could release a trailer for a new Star Wars movie and there wouldn’t be a podcast about it? Think again!

105: I'm Not So Sure About All This Princess Business

How much of a fortress can you really hide? Your Star Wars pals Dan, Kat, and Tony return to discuss Akira Kurosawa’s 1958 epic, The Hidden Fortress, a film which had a significant influence on George Lucas’s work.

In a new annual tradition, we’ve gotten six short episodes of Star Wars animation following two characters. This time it’s Tales of the Underworld.
