Weesa Back! After a two month hiatus we’re at it again - joined today by French horn player and film music freak (in the best way), Avery Jett. We get deep down sarlacc pits with all sorts of what ifs and alternate timelines from Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. What if Padme survived childbirth? What if Yoda went with Anakin to confront Palpatine? What if Dooku had outed Palpatine as the Sith in the beginning of the movie? Sit back, relax, and have a cup of tea while we ponder other outcomes in our favorite galaxy far, far away.Edited by: Anna Trumbo & Sam KiefferAdditional editing by: Nick Griffith

What is a Bokken Jedi? I invited Jesús Gonzalez (podcaster and Star Wars nerd) back to the studio to try and figure out exactly what that means, outside of the general definition we are given from Baylan Skoll: that Bokken Jedi are trained outside of the traditional temple setting. Is Bokken a derogatory term? Is Luke a Bokken Jedi? Are there other types of Jedi that can be considered Bokken? This episode is brought to you by Speeder & Sneaker Co: "Blend In to Stand Out."

What is it about family in Star Wars? About its parent/child dynamics that makes it so unique? My guest Nick Griffith (husband and friend of the podcast) and I look down the barrel of twin turbolasers primed with generations of familial trauma, loss, and healing. How come there are so many abandoned and orphaned children in the galaxy? What is it about the death of a parent that radicalizes a child? Does the Skywalker Saga end with Rey? Just in time for the Christmas season - let’s zoom in on dysfunctional families. But don’t worry! The future of families in Star Wars is bright, thanks to the introduction of Skeleton Crew.

It's time to face the Fandom Menace (muahahaha). Who better to join me on my quest than Obi-Wan Memeobi - Star Wars influencer, Master of Memes, and fellow podcaster? We explore the history of Star Wars fandom from 1977-today - covering early newsletters and zines all the way through the rise of social media and YouTube. How has media consumption changed over the past 4+ decades? What exactly is gatekeeping? What makes someone a "real" Star Wars fan? Pour your tea and get comfy.

Few people in Star Wars get as much of a musical journey as Anakin Skywalker! Ashton Sharrett (musician, Star Wars creator, and co-host of the podcast S.O.M.P.) joins me to deep dive into that journey from his theme in Phantom Menace all the way through the death of Vader (and beyond). We talk musical parallels, Shmi's theme, and the overall genius that is John Williams. It's like poetry; it rhymes. Or maybe, it's the Force. Pour your tea and get comfy.

"Rebellions are built on hope." So says Cassian Andor, anyway. Join me and my guest (and host of the podcast Best Year Ever), Jesús Gonzalez, as we talk about Diego Luna, representation in Star Wars, and why it matters. Was Diego Luna a child actor (turns out, yes)? Did Carrie Fisher do her British accent in Episode IV on purpose? Is Episode VIII the best Star Wars movie (no, but Jesús thinks so!)? We go down many a rabbit hole and many a tangent but it always comes back to Star Wars. Pour your tea and get comfy.

Join me as I discuss with my brother, Tommy Raiguel, exactly why podracing is the best part of Phantom Menace. Did Watto want Anakin to race? Whatever happened to Ben Quadrinaros? Is art masterbatory if other people enjoy it? I also debut a never-before-heard deleted scene from Episode I - the Boonta Eve prelims. You don't want to miss this one.

It's time for something different! My guest on this episode is... me. I've become mildly obsessed with the High Republic and wanted to share. Listen in to learn about the High Republic initiative and the first full novel: The Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule. Are the Jedi of that time really more powerful? Can hyperspace be broken? Who exactly are the Nihil? All this and more can be found in today's episode. Fill up your mug and settle in for a ride into The Light of the Jedi and the High Republic.

It's another music episode - this time, discussing in-galaxy music and sound in all things Star Wars. I'm joined by composer and guitar player Stephen ("Stevo" if you're OG) Mann - who actually wrote experiential music for the Star Wars universe. From Cantina Band to Chicken in the Pot, we talk about it all. Who invented clarinets in space? Why does everyone sing in Huttese? What does music from Mustafar sound like? What makes music "squishy?" Pour yourself a cup of tea, get comfy, and strap in for a deep dive into diegetic music.

Ever wondered what it would be like to discover Star Wars for the first time as an adult? That was Krishna Shetty's experience! We talk through the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy of Star Wars films and look at it all with fresh eyes. Are droids the pets we truly deserve (they are.)? Is Star Wars really just a big long saga all about family (it is.)? Why is Darth Vader low-key kinda hot (who knows?)? Join me with the artist behind all of our show artwork as she takes us through her first journey to a galaxy far, far away.

We welcome back to the studio Brian Hastert (host of the podcast Local Selection, actor, clone-lover, and friend) to discuss The Great Plan of the Sith and how the Acolyte sets in motion the storyline that will get us to Anakin's immaculate conception. Who is Darth Plagueis the Wise and how did he meet his tragic demise? Are the Sith wholly evil or is it just that the Jedi are limited in their practices? Why do we care about midi-chlorians?

And just like that, it's over. We loved this one - so many payoffs and so well done. We talk about Venestra's dress, the peek-a-boo Sith, TikTok trolls, and how lightsabers turn red. While we're sad that it's over, we're looking forward to reviewing more shows in the future. Listen along and enjoy!

It's our first in-person interview at the Darth Jar Jar studio!! Brian Hastert (actor, teacher, host of the podcast Local Selection, and clone afficionado) and I get in the weeds on one of my favorite topics in all of Star Wars: The clones. We cover the creation of the army, the Clone War, Order 66, and clone life in the Empire. Rex? The shady Kaminoans? Fives? The Clone Underground? It's all here! Oh - and a reminder to all clones out there to join the CRF for veteran aid packages. Pour yourself a drink and listen along!Spoilers for Clone Wars & The Bad Batch (and Return of the Jedi, I guess... spoiler alert, Darth Vader dies!) Why Count Dooku is the deadliest duelist.

Anna and Nick sleepily talk about The Acolyte Season 1 Episode 4: "Day." We express our desire for a Wookiee show, try to figure out why Yord is so uptight, and are baffled by the Jedis' tracker companion. We also discuss that how much we WANT to love the show doesn't exactly line up with how much we ACTUALLY love it. Listen along and enjoy!
