Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast

We continue with last week's Senate arc, and if possible things get even more political. Let's jump in! BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/massivebreakdownpodcasts CHAT SERVER: https://discord.gg/C44PeM5RSf

The intro episode to a three part arc that dives deep into the politics of the Republic and the Separatists, introducing some characters that will be surprisingly impactful to the wider galaxy even if they are just barely given some screen time here.

These two episodes combine to make one really fun "gangster" arc, with gratuitous violence and some absolutely ridiculous scenes that could only work in Star Wars. We'd both forgotten how interesting these episodes are, and they conclude Season Three's first extended arc on a high point. Let's jump in!

Clone Wars third season gets its first four episode arc, even if one of those episodes is technically from season one, but we get more Cad Bane so who's complaining? Both episodes have something to love about them, from getting to visit a scenic Alderaan to listening to Anthony Daniel's have a great time as C-3PO, so even if the stories themselves aren't the best they're still enjoyable to watch.

Well, we have discovered that the Chronological list does appear to be wrong, at least in this case. These two episodes, we believe, are actually the first two episodes of Season 3, and they are maybe the best examples of standalone episodes we have seen so far. Each episode showcases a totally different side of The Clone Wars but they both to it really well. Let's jump in!

We return to Mandalore to investigate some smugglers who are flooding the black markets with *checks notes* poisoned tea? In what feels inspired by a 1950s black and white noir detective mystery, Satine and Padme team up to figure out who is benefitting from the current instability on Mandalore. Ahsoka shows up soon enough and gets to show us just how overpowered even a padawan is compared to normal people. Let's jump in!

Now that Skeleton Crew's first season has wrapped up, we can look back on the whole thing and figure out where it fits in the pantheon of live action Star Wars shows. What were our favorite and least favorite episodes, and which episode was improved the most by being able to see the whole story? Let's jump in!

The first season's finale is finally here and wow, is it a great one! They manage to both wrap up the story in a meaningful way and leave us with just enough unanswered questions to want more. We really hope to get a season two, but in the meantime let's jump in! BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/massivebreakdownpodcasts CHAT SERVER: https://discord.gg/C44PeM5RSf

We have a lot to talk about with the penultimate episode of Skeleton Crew, with some conflicting opinions about how a few of the scenes are handled. In the end, we both agree that we're incredibly excited for the finale next week, and will need to revisit this episode with the information that is revealed in mind. Let's jump in!

Bryce Dallas Howard is back to direct another episode of Star Wars TV and as always she delivers! One of the best episodes we have had for character development so far sees the kids split up into different groups than usual to learn lessons in a way that feels both wholesome and earned.

Episode 5 may be the strongest one of the series so far, with it steadily getting better as the story progresses! Let's jump in! BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/massivebreakdownpodcasts CHAT SERVER: https://discord.gg/C44PeM5RSf

And we're back with the second part of our Episode 4 discussion after only a small delay! We continue to chat about General Strix's treatment of the kids, and we end with one of the strongest scenes we've had in the series so far both in terms of character development and in terms of pure fun!

We love the introduction to our new locale, and the continuation of the mystery is both satisfying and intriguing. We do focus some of the discussion around a new conflict that deals (or doesn't deal) with some surprisingly dark themes. Is the general they meet a true villain, or a morally gray character? Let's jump in! Editor's Note - I'm trying a different style of editing to improve the flow of the episodes, but it takes me around twice as long to edit the episodes. In order to still get an episode out this morning I had to split this one into two parts. Please let me know if you think the quality is improved enough that the extra effort is worth it!

Back again for our third episode in less than seven days, this time with some slightly differing opinions on how the show has progressed. While Merc finds the episode to be one of the best Star Wars live action episodes he's seen, Kutch is a bit less impressed. There's even a debate on whether or not Kh'ymm looks too much like an owl from Harry Potter. Let's jump in!

We continue our analysis of Skeleton Crew with the much shorter episode two. While Mercules takes issue with the characterization of Wim as "suicidally naive", Kutch appreciates the incredible worldbuilding that went into Borgo as a new location and the introduction of our "Jedi".

After a long wait it is finally here, Episode 1 of Skeleton Crew! The series premiere turned out to be an amazing introduction to this series, the vibes are immaculate and it is pretty match nailing everything we were hoping for from the show so far. Let's jump in!

We return with the surprisingly poignant conclusion to the LEGO miniseries, with a message about accepting change that a lot of adult Star Wars fans could probably stand to listen to. Let's jump in!

Trying something a little different this week, with the first half of the LEGO Star Wars mini-series: Rebuild the Galaxy! We were both somewhat surprised by how honestly good this show ended up being, so let's jump in!

We wrap up Season 2 of our Chronological Clone Wars watch through with the finale of the Boba Fett arc, with a fun take on a Lassi episode to start and then we're joined once again by everyone's favorite pirate Hondo to close it out.

Let's chat about or time at Space Con San Antonio, and break down the first episode of the Season 2 finale arc, with an introduction to a new version of Boba Fett that we haven't gotten to spend much time with yet.
