Seemed pretty clear that these episodes don't have the juice, the crew spent nearly as much time talking about other media as the episodes. The B-Wing rules, bring back the Z95 Headhunter.
Only thing I remember hearing about the EU from someone in high school was regarding Chewy... and how he apparently gets killed by having a moon collide into him, haha.let rob have an old eu pod
tell me about the crystal star, rob
I would pay extra for this. The hardest I've ever laughed at the pod is an old Patreon episode where they talked about Luke Skywalker's ghost robot girlfriend. (The first time - it's come up multiple times.)let rob have an old eu pod

I would love a Hannibal cast with the crew.Caught up way faster than I expected! Now I just have the Q&A episodes left to go through which should keep me busy for a while.
I'm dying to hear if they actually watch Hannibal between now and the next podcast, or at least start watching it. I'd pay extra for a Patreon podcast just of them watching the whole series, it's so good.
At the time this season was coming airing, Force Awakens wasn't yet out.Yeah ok the next two episodes are bangers. Plenty to talk about for the next one.
I loooove the continuity of Ezra calling himself Jabba, and then everyone involved at this point immediately going "ah, of course, Ezra Bridger". It is both very funny but also very smart. We love to see it!
Speaking a bit more broadly, if you are a Chopper appreciator then these episodes have some Chopper Ws. He's racking up a kill count! He helped locate those ships and looked after a baby! He's really carrying the rebellion on his back tbh, everyone else needs to step up.
Speaking of Ws, Zeb. Add it to the character skill sheet - he's a baby finder! It's very specific and it doesn't really add that much to his character in terms of depth, but it is very charming and endearing. I hope we see more of his baby finding skills in future, perhaps he can bond with some children or something? I said it lacked depth, but there's potential there for it to be more of a thing in future.
I am not immune to "what if Ahsoka had white lightsabers". Very cool, very sick, I was under the impression that these were specifically an Ahsoka show thing (haven't seen it, just seen marketing material), but I guess it's another thing lifted from Rebels! And along similar lines, The Last Jedi feels like it's playing in the space created by this episode in regards to the broom boy at the end and all that. Interesting. Will be interesting to see if more Last Jedi stuff was in this show all along, thus proving that a lot star wars fans online have not seen much star wars.
That's so wild to think about. It also uh, makes me like The Force Awakens slightly less in retrospect, because this show is kind of doing what The Force Awakens was doing re:"it's just like the original trilogy we swear" (albeit in a tv show format), while taking more interesting swings more consistently.At the time this season was coming airing, Force Awakens wasn't yet out.
Judging by how they were able to just dump the Patreon funds into a trip for 4 to Galactic Starcruiser, I'd say it's not so much a matter of money but just available time in general.Sign me up for the Hannibal series. How much money do they need to make that happen?
great now i'm trying to consider if rob is the frasier or the niles of the group
Is Natalie the Eddie?great now i'm trying to consider if rob is the frasier or the niles of the group
Non Star Wars stuff is fine with me as long as it doesn't delay Star Wars. There are some later stories that I want their reaction to.
Never mind later, I still long for them watching Tartakovsky's Star Wars: Clone Wars
I think they said they were gonna watch it before starting the final seasonI thought that was part of the legacy stuff they said they were going to do when they started to do the last pre-cancellation season of The Clone Wars?
Assuming you're watching along, there are other examples of this show doing stuff that later Star Wars live action would do and Rebels did it better including one that I expect the crew to absolutely go through the roof about…That's so wild to think about.

I am watching along, I'm mostly sticking to what the pod watches unless something seems independent (e.g. regardless of what the pod does, I'll probably watch acolyte for example).Assuming you're watching along, there are other examples of this show doing stuff that later Star Wars live action would do and Rebels did it better including one that I expect the crew to absolutely go through the roof about…
Her trying to make herself forget the KOTOR twist is very Daphne coded.
I guess if she's manifesting or predicting revelations with her psychic abilitiesHer trying to make herself forget the KOTOR twist is very Daphne coded.
When they talked about Sabine being a prodigy, I was suddenly hit with the memory of jokes about Ace Attorney having increasingly young prodigy lawyers who have never lost a case as the series goes forward, and you know, Sabine is not beating the allegations. Rebels talks about her in exactly the same way!I'm glad they call out how much of a non-character Sabine is here. This show gives her nothing, which makes the few episodes that do anything with her feel so unsatisfying and empty.
Lol that's exactly right.When they talked about Sabine being a prodigy, I was suddenly hit with the memory of jokes about Ace Attorney having increasingly young prodigy lawyers who have never lost a case as the series goes forward, and you know, Sabine is not beating the allegations. Rebels talks about her in exactly the same way!
With where Rebels (and other shows) go with her, she perpetually feels like a character that's just getting stuff grafted onto her without much thought.Sabine gets more eventually but it never felt clear if like all this current stuff of her avoiding hanging out or trying to lose herself in a bounty hunter/criminal life prior to the ghost is foreshadowing those later reveals or if this stuff was just being thrown at a wall and not sticking and they invented the later stuff to find a more interesting angle for her. Especially if you start doing mental math on her age once you have the full picture, like was she 8 in the empire academy somehow? Was her flirtation with bounty hunting a thing she only tried out over that one spring break?
I support you on this. Also, the non-clone variation of the Z-95 Headhunter is clearly the 1980s Honda Civic hatchback of Star Wars.Listening to the Q&A, I'm here to report they're all wrong, the healthiest star wars relationship is Jar Jar and his princess gf from that one clone wars arc.
I'm not willing to budge on this!
-The realization that only Austin knew what Order 66 wasSo what would be the list of AMCA iconic moments?
- Nuvo Vindi
- References to Dooku: Jedi Lost
- Mace Window
- The fear(?) of Hondo appearing in an episode
- Korkie being Obi-Wan's son
- Natalie forgetting key info about the series (like Luke and Leia being Vader's kids)

Same, might be because AMCA doesn't frequent soundboard shenanigans.might be recency bias but austin's "the boys are back in town" soundboard is up there for me
