Episode CCCXXIX: More Jazz, Less Jizz
50% is better than 0%, huh? Cole and Dakota are here holding down the fort this week, and they spend some time getting Dakota's takes on a lot of the stuff they've missed while participating in whatever that weird brain scan study was and give just the smallest peek at their thoughts on Star Wars...
-
Episode CCCXXVIII: The Delicious Stink of Hydrogenated Smapp
In this very Wookieepedia-heavy episode, we catch up on some recent Ben Solo and Stinky the Hutt news, chat about why we do or do not own The Clone Wars on Blu-ray, and somehow manage to find our way back to wishing for a Solo 2. Pretty standard business around here. Except for all the bits about...
-
Episode CCCXXVII: Who Up Laying They Pupae
THE CLONE WARS is on pause this week since Dakota is… missing? In an experiment? I truly don't know. But we don't need that show! In our freshly-named random article segment SKYHOPPERS SPECIAL SAUCE, we take a look at an artifact from Star Wars RPGs past and once again discuss the nature of canon...
-
Episode CCCXXVI: Oops, All Vong!
It's finally here! The first teaser trailer for THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU has graced our screens at long last, but are we ready for it? Can we even tell what "it" is? Get the answers to all of this (as well as many of the questions you might've had about the New Jedi Order series of Legends…

Episode CCCXXV: It's Definitely Stubby
We're all back! For the first time in what feel like ages, we're getting together to discuss Maul's hostile takeover of Mandalore! Non-stop action! Political intrigue! Myriad deaths! But first, you know we've gotta hit you with some segments, which delve into topics such as the cancelled Heart of...
-
Episode CCCXXIV: The Crickets Strike Back
I know I said we'd be talking Clone Wars this week, but that was before I knew we'd be down not one but two hosts. Sigh. But Cole and Dakota are here to rescue you with all of the segments you've come to love as well as some Starfighter chat! Also crickets. A LOT of crickets.
-
Episode CCCXXIII: Machete Order
Eva is once again missing so Clone Wars is on hold for just one more week (we will be doing it next week come Hell or high water), but we've got segments! And two of us have finished the High Republic, so we have a lot of good discussion about that! And then general morass of Star Wars current...
-
Episode CCCXXII: Intimately Zuvio
Eva is missing this week, so Clone Wars is taking a back seat yet again! This one gets a little weird. We spend WAY too long debating what constitutes a "tunnel" in the objective sense. But outside of that, a fairly standard episode: segments, and then discussion of a Screen Rant article!…
more -
Episode CCCXXI: Palpapod
Since Dakota left us out to dry this week regarding our TCW rewatch, we pivot to… a lot of different things! Why did the Jedi accept the Clone Army seemingly without question in Attack of the Clones? Have our feelings changed on The Rise of Skywalker since its release? Is LFL ever going to…
more -
Episode CCCXX: How Come He Doesn't Have A Lightsaber?
Well listeners, it's finally here: the D-Squad Arc of THE CLONE WARS. But did we hate it as much as we thought we would? Kind of. But there are also a few things to appreciate here as well. Also included: a buckwild ranking of Star Wars video games, some spoiler-free discussion of The New Jedi...
-
Episode CCCXIX: Disfellowshipped
With Eva still being gone, our CLONE WARS rewatch is pushed back another week. Meebur Gascon will still be there when we're all together again next week, though, so just be patient! Instead this week, we talk the 2002 video game BOUNTY HUNTER, debate the canonicity of coloring and activity books,...
-
Episode CCCXVIII: Wildly Popular Sauce
This episode is a little insane. Dakota and Eva are absent, so we decided to skip out on Clone Wars this week as not deprive them of their time spent with Meebur Gascon. Instead, we completely go off the rails on an Is It Edible? and spend some time diving deep on "This Week in Star Wars." Also…
more -
Episode CCCXVII: Chiss Moses
The Youngling lightsaber crystal arc of THE CLONE WARS this week! We have a lot of fun with these episodes, and experience a fair amount of dread knowing what comes next. Also included: Is It Edible?, a truncated This Week in Star Wars, and some discoveries regarding a certain KSE Firespray-class...
-
Episode CCCXVI: Onderon 3:16
Two whole weeks in a row. We're really doing it folks. And in this super-sized continuation of whatever "it" is, we're diving into the Onderon Rebellion arc from Season 5 of THE CLONE WARS! How they ever pulled this off is a mystery. We also resurrect a favorite segment from the past. Sorry for…
more -
Episode CCCXV: Mandu and Grogo
WHAT. We've made the journey back from the Unknown Regions to bring a podcast to your ears! And all four of us at that! Going forward, we're really going to be leaning into our CLONE WARS rewatch, so you've got that to look forward to! Obviously, a lot has happened in the last six months, so…

Episode CCCXIV: Real Neel Hours
The results are in: we're all in LOVE with Skeleton Crew!! Fern! Neel! Wim! KB! SM-33!!!! There is so much to love, and this is very much an episode in the classic style where we basically just gush for the duration. Well, once we get through all of the other pent-up Star Wars nonsense that you...
-
Episode CCCXIII: I'm A Grown Up
Sigh. I'm not gonna make a big deal about how we're back. I respect you all too much for that. But Skeleton Crew pulled us out of our hovels long enough to talk some Star Wars! Well, that and some interesting casting rumors.
-
Episode CCCXII: Borsk Fey'lya, but in a Good Way
The Acolyte season 1 has come and gone! And we're left feeling conflicted! Positive overall, but still conflicted. Who's right? Who's wrong? Did the right people do the wrong things? What is Vernestra's deal? All I know is that there had BETTER be a season 2!
-
Episode CCCXI: Blueface
Two episodes inside a month! Maybe we really ARE back. At least Cole and I. Dakota is on a plane maybe? Anyway. Episodes 4-6 of The Acolyte this week! Consider us floored.
-
Episode CCCX: I Guess
By the will of the Force, we've returned!!! It's been quite a minute, but The Acolyte is here to bring us out of hibernation. Does it live up to the hype from the last three and a half years? We think so, but there's still plenty of show left to unravel…
-
Episode CCCIX: Tasteful Ewok
This is a very special episode because we're joined by the famous friend of the show KIRBY to chat about his feelings on recent Star Wars media as well as his personal relationship with the franchise. Which of course gives Cole and I plenty of room to talk about those things as well. News is…
more -
Episode CCCVIII: A Character... or a Plot Device?
We're back for the second week in a row to discuss the finale of season 1 of AHSOKA. Overall? Pretty dang good. But are we left with more questions than answers? Also discussed: From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi! Also very good!
-
Episode CCCVII: Something About Ahsoka, I'm Sure?
Well, I wasn't able to join Cole and Dakota on this episode traipsing around beyond the reaches of our known galaxy, but I'm sure they had a FANTASTIC conversation recapping episodes five and six of AHSOKA. But I guess we can all just listen and find out, can't we?
-
Episode CCCVI: Duped by AI
Ahsoka continues, and there are big things happening!! And then some things happening that are maybe supposed to be big, but they didn't feel that big to some of us. But we're all enjoying the show and looking forward to see what happens next!
-
Episode CCCV: Does He Have A Gun or Something?
Ahsoka really does just feel like Rebels part two, and it's all the better for it! We catch up on the three episodes that have come out to date and end up feeling pretty warm and fuzzy about them, against all odds (but not really because of Ahsoka herself. Like at all). Ben is also continuing on...
-
Episode CCCIV: Pwomos??
We were at Gen Con two weeks ago! Which was fun, but it kept us away from the podcast. But we're back now to report on the Star Warsy things we did at Gen Con as well as to spend like 45 minutes talking about Ahsoka (both the show and the person).
-
Episode CCCIII: House Calls
We do some catching up this week: checking in with Cole re: Jedi: Survivor, talking to Dakota about Path of Vengeance a little bit, and of course… the Ahsoka trailer. There's a lot to say about that last one.
-
Episode CCCII: How I Spent My Skyhoppers Summer Vacation
THE WAIT IS OVER! You've all been waiting with bated breath, right? I'm sure. Anyway. Eva has taken a step back from the pod, but the rest of us are here to (mostly) cover (mostly) everything we've missed! Mando S3,. Visions, THR, and Survivor! It's good to be back, friends. Thanks for sticking...
-
A Good Ol' Fashioned Skyhoppers Update
Hi! We've been gone! And we're not sure exactly when we're going to be back. But we're talking about it!

Hi! We've been gone! And we're not sure exactly when we're going to be back. But we're talking about it!
-
Episode CCCI: Wanna See Me Do It Again?
This might be the biggest Star Wars podcast ever recorded. That's probably hyperbole, but I don't even care because it certainly felt that way. We cover not one but TWO episodes of THE MANDALORIAN leading up to the season finale and of course everything that dropped at STAR WARS CELEBRATION....
-
Episode CCC: The Dregs
We made it!! Somehow, against all odds, we made it to episode 300. And in typical Skyhoppers fashion, we get up to some nonsense: a Star Wars… draft? There are different categories and we all take turns taking things from those categories and it's FUN. Thank you all so much for sticking with us…

Episode CCXCVIII: Mon Calamari Stereotyping
Eva is not quite caught up with The Bad Batch but we're all on the same page regarding THE MANDALORIAN! Season 3 is definitely off to a different start than seasons 1 or 2, but is that a bad thing? We discuss!
-
Episode CCXCVII: Filtering Game Modes in Call of Duty Modern Warfare II
Recording OFF-SCHEDULE (which is funny because we recorded on Wednesdays for such a long time that it really just feels like we're back ON schedule) because THE BAD BATCH and THE MANDALORIAN are just that good! Crosshair! What's he up to? Where will he end up? Din Djarin! Did Bo-Katan give the...
-
Episode CCXCVI: Scorched
My god, there is too much happening! But that's actually a good thing. I was hoping that The Bad Batch episode might have been a little more forgettable this week so that we could spend more time with THE MANDALORIAN SEASON 3 premiere, but alas, that was not to be. So we get to talk about TWO...
-
Episode CCXCV: The Bink Awakens
Eva is back! Again! We're hoping our new recording schedule means that they will be back on a regular basis from now on. But they bring some interesting thoughts about TBB S2, so we're happy they came home.
-
Episode CCXCIV: Skyhoppers I Guess?
Dakota and Ben sit down with the intention of talking about Episode 9 of Season 2 of The Bad Batch, and while they get there eventually, they take a lengthy detour through The High Republic land and catch up with some discussion about Convergence by Zoraida Cordova and "new adult" novels!
-
Episode CCXCIII: As Good As People Think It Is
OKAY. SO. We've had a pretty rough release schedule recently, but we've just made a deal that will keep us on a more regular and sustainable recording schedule (hopefully) forever. And we picked a good week to come back on because THE BAD BATCH is so freaking killer and none of us could wait to...
-
Episode CCXCII: OSW Ooglith-Masquerading as Skyhoppers
This is 1) late and 2) not even really an episode of Skyhoppers. But despite our rough release schedule (which is hopefully being addressed going forward), Cole and I were still able to get together and record Obroa-skai Walkers. And since the first half of that show tends to be about The Bad...
-
Episode CCXCI: No Pirate Zone
Ben and Dakota are joined by Austin from THE OSSUS PROJECT to talk about THE BAD BATCH season 2 episode 3: THE SOLITARY CLONE. Best episode of the series so far maybe? Probably.
-
Episode #5: Han Solo: At Stars' End and Knights of the Old Republic: Commencement: So I Heard You Like Colons
They're back! Kind of! From The Ossus Project archives, this episode that was recorded many moons ago finally makes its appearance! Austin and Luke sit down to cover the comic adaptation of Han Solo At Stars' End and Knights of the Old Republic issues #0-#6.

-
Episode CCXC: Death Via Broken Femur?
Eva makes their triumphant return to lead us in a mini discussion of the Episode I Adventures comic from 1999 before we vault into our dissection of the first two episodes of the second season of THE BAD BATCH. We're checking back in with our friends like Hunta and Tik and of COURSE Amiga.
-
The Ossus Project 2.0 Teaser
The Ossus Project lives! Albeit in a slightly different form. Listen in and learn more about what Austin has in store for 2023!

Episode CCLXXXIX: Haun Solo
Ben, Cole, and Dakota are here to present the last Skyhoppers episode of 2022! After tackling a wee bit of news re: The Bad Batch and Jedi: Survivor, we dig into our favorite Star Wars things from the last year and make fun of Cole for being behind on reading.
-
Episode CCLXXXVIII: Words and A Brick
ANDOR??? IS THE BEST STAR WARS TELEVISION SHOW TO DATE????
-
Episode CCLXXXVII: Jar Jar Guilt
OBVIOUSLY we have to get into the penultimate episode of Andor this week and talk about what might be yet to come, but then we spend a weirdly long time in a good-faith discussion about the (sparse) usefulness of Jar Jar Binks as a dramatic character rather than a comedic one. Also comic shop shame.
-
Episode CCLXXXVI: I Can't Swim
AGAIN Ben and Cole do their best to sneak in about 40 minutes of Andor talk before Eva makes their appearance, and boy howdy is there a lot to talk about. Then the discussion towards Jedi Survivor which leads to a larger discussion about some Star Wars vidya. A typical Sunday morning in Skyhopper...
-
Episode CCLXXXV: A Cole Is Born
If this episode sounds a little different, it's because it is! I had to use the stream audio for this one due to some tech issues. What else is new? Anyway. We get into some spoiler talk before our resident Andor-and-TotJ-behinder Eva shows up, at which point we start discussing some of our...
