The Last Jedi | The Fifth Anniversary Discussion
No Star Wars in recent years has inspired more conversation than the one released 5 years ago today : Ryan Johnson's "The Last Jedi". From the character beats to controversial locations to the dramatic choices effecting all of canon, "The Last Jedi" soars for some and crashes for others and it's...

Six Shows Intro | Ahsoka * Andor * Tales of the Jedi * Bad Batch 2 * Mandalorian 3 * Skeleton Crew
We have gone from 150 hours of Star Wars on Film to 200. Before we can Binge the best, we need to consume all the good things coming out that cover the Prequel and Original Trilogy Eras. Daniel and Jeff spend some solid time on the huge announcements this last week at D23 of 6 new shows. They...

Year Two
Friends, we have been doing the Binge for a year. In this episode we celebrate by talking shop about all the new Star Wars projects being released in the next year, and giving the low down on how we are tackling Act 2 off the Binge.
-
Episode 28 | "Witches in the Mist"
The culmination of the fantastic "Nightsisters Arc". All the pieces are in place as we end the first Act of our Star Wars Binge.
-
Episode 27 | "Monster"
In this central episode to "The Nightsisters" arc, we see the introduction of a key character voiced by one of the great actors of our time. The themes of abuse, identity and corruption continue as we move to close out the first act of the Star Wars Binge.
-
Episode 26 | "The Nightsisters" | Part 2
Part 2 as we break down this wonderful arc! Lots of backstory for the first time for Asajj Ventress, and the introduction of magic into the Star Wars universe.
-
Episode 25 | "The Nightsisters" | Part 1
This episode begin, what Jeff believes, is an arc superior to almost all the movies. Lots to love and discuss here as we are introduced to the inner life of Asajj Ventress.
-
Episode 24 | "The Hidden Enemy"
A wonderful early episode that not only elevates a primary theme in Star Wars of betrayal and evil working under the surface, but this gives us an opportunity to unpack what is the most interesting character in all of the Clone Wars.
-
Episode 23 | "Escape From Kadavo" | Part II
Season 4 : Episodes 10-12 | This is our culminating episode into one of the most underrated of all the Clone Wars arcs. We see Obi Wan escape from slavery, Rex murder a slaver, Ahsoka elevated by her people and Anakin at the height of his powers and goodness. This arc is special. Jump in.
-
Episode 22 | "Escape From Kadavo" | Part I
We end this arc with one of the great tropes in all story: heroes moving to rescue a whole people from misery and enslavement. Do watch this Clone Wars arc -- Season 4; episodes 10-12 -- as we discuss the overlaps running through all of pop culture, and hit what we believe is the central idea...
-
Episode 21 | "Slaves of the Republic"
One of the better Clone Wars episodes, borrowing heavily from Return of the Jedi. We talk about heroes stealing cars, Anakin's Don Juan persona, and we talk about "Slave Leia" and the assassination of gangsters.
-
Episode 20 | "Kidnapped" | Part II
We conclude the first episode of the Kadavo Arc: Season 4 | Episodes 10-12. Excellent themes hit here from terrorists with bombs to Post Traumatic Stress caused by slavery. So much to discuss!
-
Episode 19 | "Kidnapped" | Part I
We tackle a significantly underrated 3 episode arc from Season 4. This may be the best unveiling of the hearts of Ahsoka, Anakin and Kenobi in all of the Clone Wars. In this arc we see trauma, we see the inability of friends to help heal deep wounds, and we see the hearts of our characters…
more -
Episode 18 | "Hostage Crisis"
In a wonderful salute to Die Hard and The Dark Knight, we see Anakin Skywalker seeking to save his bride from what is arguably the best villain created in the Clone Wars Era. We had a lot of fun here, and we may also make fun of buffoons who storm capital buildings ... so be warned.
-
Episode 17 | "The Deserter" | Part II
We talk freedom, duty, and the importance of family in Star Wars, concluding a primary episode that elevates the heart of Rex and the Clones.
-
Episode 16 | "The Deserter" | Part I
In what Daniel describes as the best episode of Star Trek he's seen, we enjoy a Rex focused episode that elevates the Captain's humanity, sense of self, and his own thoughts on "freedom". This is not only a character building episode, "The Deserter" highlights many of the central themes and...
-
Episode 15 | "Arc Trooper"
This is easily a Top 10 Clone Wars episode! "Arc Troopers" is the animated series at its best : Gorgeous lightsaber battles, Brilliant Star Wars tech, deeply evil moments, and one of the most moving death scenes in all Star Wars ... without question. "Arc Troopers" desired two parts, but we…
more -

Episode 13 | "Lost Ones" | Part I
We jump forward to Season 6, Episode 10 where the Jedi Council discovers that something is not right with the Clone Army ...
-
Episode 12 | "Rookies"
This is the second episode in the Domino Squad Arc: Season 1, Episode 5. We love everything about this episode. Great action, solid character beats, unexpected deaths, it all culminates in a fantastic Star Wars moment, but most importantly we get to talk about the pop significance of "bloody hand...
-
Episode 11 | "Ambush"
The very first Clone Wars episode ever released falls as number eleven in the Binge, but there's a reason it was number one. This is a wonderful Yoda story that further elevates not only the humanity of the Clones but of Asajj Ventress as well. Very rewatchable. Do jump in with us.
-
Episode 10 | "Clone Cadets"
An origin story for arguably three of the most important characters in Star Wars! This is a stellar episode that introduces us to the inner life of the clones, and sets up much of the heart of all that is to come. We recorded on "Clone Cadets" prior to the release of Bad Batch, but many of you…
more -
Episode 9 | "Weapons Factory"
We dive deep into the early relationship between Anakin and Ahsoka in a very moving Clone Wars episode. This is Season 2 Episode 6 | "Weapons Factory." If you are just jumping into the Binge, we do suggest starting with "Episode One | "Old Friends Not Forgotten". But otherwise, buckle up for a...
-
Episode 8 | "The Landing at Point Rain"
We begin Act 1 of our Binge with Season 2 Episode 5 of the Clone Wars. "The Landing at Point Rain" is the very first chronological material in the binge and we watch a young Ahsoka and Anakin establish their connection, see the loyalty of the Clones, and elevate the war in Star Wars.
-
Act 1 | "Students" | Episode 7
We introduce the first of six acts in the Star Wars Binge! "Act One" elevates all the major "Students" introduced during the Clone Wars, including Ventress, Ahsoka, Anakin and the Domino Squad. Here we talk about the hero's journey, the role of the mentor and the home that a hero eventually finds...

-
Episode 4 | "Shattered" | Part II
Season 7 | Episode 11 | Clone Wars Animated We conclude the penultimate episode of the Clone Wars Animated Series with our deep dive into arguably the best Star Wars episode ever. This is our commentary and annotations for part 3 of the "Siege of Mandalore" arc.
-
Episode 3 | "Shattered" | Part I
We begin a long discussion of the penultimate episode of the Clone Wars Animated series. This is our commentary on Season 7, Episode 11: the third part of the fantastic "Siege of Mandalore" arc. We divided "Shattered" into two parts because this 20 minutes may be the best of all Star Wars not in...

We continue our dive into the exceptional "Siege of Mandalore". We explore the character beats, moments and plot of Season 7, Episode 10 of the Clone Wars.

We begin the entire Star Wars Binge with the Concluding Arc of the Clone Wars. The next five of our episodes will cover Season 7, Episodes 9-12 of the Clone Wars Animated Series conclusion. We will feel this is the absolute best way to jump into a galaxy far, far away.
