The Force Dyad Podcast

IT HAS ALL COME DOWN TO THIS...

Three seasons of storytelling and one final showdown; We are taking a look at the series finale of The Bad Batch, "The Cavalry Has Arrived". We react and share our thoughts on the ending and the season as a whole. Did it meet expectations? Did they miss anything? Will we see Omega in a future Star Wars show? Plus much, much more!

We also chat briefly about our May the 4th festivities with the gang seeing The Phantom Menace, some Tales of the Empire, and we bring back our "Fine Addition" segment to share some of our Star Wars day trinkets.

So sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

Tantiss.

It's time for some SWAMP JUSTICE!!

After a few weeks off we're back to chat episodes 5-8 of The Bad Batch and share some first reactions to the new Acolyte trailer (High Republic BABY!!)

After a bit of pre-show banter about TCG addiction and the scam that is car insurance we jump into the main show (00:06:30) where John is currently dealing with a 3-year old bedtime menace and Sean is recovering from a birthday weekend for his 5-year old.

For those wanting SW content out the gate we hop in at (00:12:10) with our Acolyte trailer reactions. Seeing The High Republic in live-action brings a smile to our faces and we can't wait! Then it's Bad Batch time with Episode 5 (00:20:25), Episode 6 & 7 (00:26:10), and Episode 8 (00:36:55) recaps and discussions. Crosshair trying to build back trust, build back relationships, and the crew on the hunt for M-count information. So sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

We pick back up with Omega and Crosshair after a daring escape from Mount Tantiss in Episode #4, "A Different Approach". The quest to reunite with her brothers will require Omega and Crosshair to work together and for them to place their trust in one another.

This episode John and Sean are joined by friend of the show BrickinAintEasy (aka Keith, aka TK-31788) and we take a look at the emotional reunion, Omega's lack of sense in chasing after a Lurca hound, and what might be next for the squad.

We also take a bit to talk toys as LEGO just released 5 new sets on March 1st, including 3 new midi-scale ships to begin their 'Starship Collection'. So sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

The Batch is back for one final adventure as Season 3 kicks of with a triple-dose of our favorite defective clones! Tune in as the guys take a look at 'Confined', 'Paths Unknown', and 'Shadows of Tantiss' and discuss some of the deeper points of each episode along with the many questions we find ourselves asking:

• Does this mean Omega is Force Sensitive
• Who are the subjects in the vault
• What 'might' will Hemlock use to find Omega (Vader?)
• What's with Crosshair's tremors
• Will we see Boba Fett

...and much more

Plus, as is tradition we dive into the trove of IMDB feedback and see what some within the greater internet community thought of the first installment. So sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

On the eve of the start of Season 3 of The Bad Batch we are here to throw out our last minute predictions (sure to go wrong). Before that we briefly discuss the news of the moment with The Phantom Menace returning to theaters, news of a new Mandalorian game in development at Respawn, and take a few moments to remember the late Carl Weathers.

We then dive headfirst into our predictions taking a look at Ventress, possible cameos, the fate of cloning on Mt. Tantiss, and all culminating in our prognostications for the fate of Clone Force 99. So sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

Star Wars Podcast Day is here!! Jedi John and Obi-Sean are back to talk Star Wars movies, specifically, which watch order is best. Many are familiar with most, whether numerical, chronological, or Machete but John brings an option to the party that...well let's just say Sean's feeble mind has a hard time comprehending. It's a fun discussion all around, and we had a blast recording this! Be sure to let us know which watch order you think is best!

What is Star Wars Podcast Day? It's a celebration of the 1st Star Wars podcast, Jedi Talk, which this year is celebrating its 25th anniversary. We, along with over 100 other shows, are taking part in celebrating and bringing you all kinds of Star Wars (and other) content.

Post-Production Note: Most references to "chronological" made during the episode are meant to be numerical. Apparently we don't know the difference

As Star Wars fans we were spoiled with content in 2023. While heavily frontloaded with Bad Batch, Mando, Celebration and Jedi Survivor all before May it was a jam packed year wrapping with Ahsoka in October.

On this episode we take a look back at the year that was and share some of our favorite and least favorite moments and take a quick look ahead to 2024.

Also, Jedi John has finally started into the High Republic novels and Obi-Sean just finished The Fallen Star so there is a bit of THR chatter

Lastly, we close with a quick 30,000 foot view of the new Rebel Moon film which has just released on Netflix. Described in the lead up as an "adult version" of Star Wars is it really that interesting?

So sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

Recorded Live at Cape Con 2023!

In this special live-edition of the show, we do a brief introduction to who are as a show, and touch briefly on Ahsoka (sharing some of our favorite moments). However, we spend most of our time looking at all of the (main) animated and live-action content that we've been given since the launch of Dinsey+ 4 years ago. There are 11 shows in total so tune in to see where we rank each show (Starts at 16:00).

A couple surprises to be sure, but welcomed ones! So Sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

"For The Empire!"

We've made it to the season (series?) finale of Ahsoka, and it feels as though we are left with more questions than answers. Yes, Ezra made it back to the known galaxy, and is reunited with Hera but Ahsoka and Sabine are left behind. What will they do now that they're stranded? Where were Baylan and Shin this episode, and what does Baylan know of The Ones? Did the zombie stormies "hit their mark", and do The Great Mothers have Thrawn by the proverbial meilooruns?

All that and more so sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

THRAWN HAS ARRIVED!

After months of waiting we finally get the full reveal of our favorite Chiss Grand Admiral...and he's not alone. From Great Mothers to Night Troopers, he's got plenty of assistance to get back home. He's not the only reveal as Sabine's quest finally comes to a head as she finally finds Ezra! While she's mum on how she got thee (or how she's planning to get home), that part of her journey can finally be concluded.

We take a look at the broader mythological tropes both within Star Wars itself, as well as the intertwining of Greek and Norse mythologies and theorize what it might lead to (ie: SW Ragnarok??). We also touch on Sabine's actions to this point and what her finding Ezra could lead to, and just what is calling to Baylan?

All that and more, so sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

In this latest episode we recap and breakdown all that was excellent in Ahsoka: Episode 5 "Shadow Warrior".

Anakin forces Ahsoka to confront portions of her past in order to drive home a valuable message, and allow her to break free from her guilt. We are treated to phenomenal Clone Wars flashbacks complete with live-action Captain Rex and Mauldalorians! The saga concludes with Ahsoka's rebirth as Ahsoka The White and we hitch a ride with a pod of Purrgil! Topics explored include:

• What exactly was that interaction between Ahsoka and Anakin?
• What did Anakin mean by "Live or Die"?
• Jacen Syndulla's force sensitivity...could he be trained?
• Ahsoka The White - What could this mean for her character going forward?

All that and more so sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

“Everyone in the order knew Anakin Skywalker. Few would live to see what he became.” -- Baylan Skoll.

In this episode of TFD we review all that was great from Ahsoka - Part IV "Fallen Jedi". Three lightsaber duels, Two questionable decisions, One World Between Worlds, and the return of The Chooosen One.

Tune in as we dive headfirst into the smorgasbord of theories covering Anakin's purpose, Ahsoka's visit to TWBW, Hera's questionable parenting decisions (and importance of the Ghost), and WTF was Sabine thinking? Big Ups to John who recorded this with only half a voice :)

So sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

It's TIME TO FLY with Ahsoka and Sabine in Episode #3. A more methodical episode after the two episode premiere we discuss the more subtle world building laid out in this episode.

We discuss the fun little Easter eggs and callbacks, littered throughout, with our main topics of discussions centered around;

• Force users, other than the Jedi? Does it affect the allure?
• Trust, and it's importance for both Ahsoka and Sabine (and Hera)
• Baylan Skoll's motivations

We close with our own episode ratings and then dive, once again, into the treasure trove that is the IMDB comment section.

Leaving our toy news to last we have some new fall LEGO set releases, plus a theory on a huge LEGO production error and we close the episode with an exciting announcement for the show!

So sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

We also discuss one of the panels (The Heroes We Love) and relate it back to how some of our favorite SW have been depicted, and share the panelists insights into a number of things.

We close with a discussion of some of the highlights and lowlights on Day #1, talk the cool things we saw at the Lucasfilm pavilion, and whether the new LEGO Chewie model is as horrifying in person as the box art would depict.

After a brief hiatus the guys are back to discuss some of the more recent noteworthy Star Wars News nuggets...a lot has happened over the last 7 weeks.

• Starting with the metaphorical crash and burn of Disney's Galactic Starcruiser as after only 18 months open it will make its final sailing at the end of September. We share our thoughts on why the ambitious project is closing, how we think Disney could re-imagine at least some of the concepts, and whether we would consider the endeavor a failure.

• Next we pivot to TV as we continue to look forward to Ahsoka. We finally get an air date, and we chat the recent comments as it relates to a Rebels Season 5? Also, is Skeleton Crew the least hyped show ever?

• Leading into our gaming segment we talk about the recent gameplay trailer for Star Wars Outlaws, which is the upcoming open world game from Ubisoft. After which Obi-Sean shares his full, spoiler-free thoughts on Jedi Survivor now that he has beaten the game and completed it to 100%. He also shares a few tips for newer players to help improve their level of success
• Lastly we chat briefly about toys as the summer Star Wars LEGO wave is set to drop, and check out which set (spoiler, it isn't SW) is Sean most looking forward too. Jedi John has some FUNKO news to share as well.

We close with a look ahead to our SDCC primer episode, and Obi-Sean does a bit of a rap.

In this MEGA Mandalorian sized episode we take a look back at the whole of Season 3, while briefly discussing some of the episodes we missed. Was S3 the dawn of a new beginning for Mandalorian culture? What were the things we liked most about this season and what were the things we'd have done a little different? We also take a "far to early to predict" look at what might come from S4, and how might this series end? Also, Return of the Jedi was back in theaters and we had a chance to go see it...what were some of the things we noticed and we discuss the goofy side of Star Wars. Lastly, Obi-Sean gives his spoiler free 1st impressions on the new Star Wars: Jedi Survivor video game.

Welcome to a new series chronicling my (Obi-Sean's) journey through Star Wars Rebels! These will be quick hit episodes aimed at providing quick synopsis', relevant episode factoids, and some of my thoughts on the different episodes. Aimed to be quick refreshers for Rebels vets OR sources of new info for Rebels newbies, I'm hoping there is a little something for everyone!

Our journey starts with Spark of Rebellion, a double episode arc to start Season 1. Complete with two mini missions, we are introduced to the members of the Ghost crew, along with a local lad. Plenty of excitement with the big reveal at the end, it's a great start to what is a fun show. There's a fun New Hope reference, as well concept art brought to life, along with my discussion on Ezra's arc in "My Thoughts" section. So sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

Crosshair has a new mission under a new commanding officer in "The Outpost". The guys recap the episode and give thoughts on the future of Crosshair in the story. The Mandalorian is in exploration mode in "The Mines of Mandalore" trying to find redemption in the living waters. Din can't quite get there without some help and might have started making a believer out of Bo-Katan. This is the Way! IMDB always brings the heat for the guys to discuss user reviews and this week is no different, so sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

In this double dose episode we look back at episodes 10 & 11 of The Bad Batch! A brief retrieval of the Marauder finds the squad trusting a squirrely child thief and helping to liberate an ipsium outpost from a tyrannical leader. Meanwhile, it seems the Kaminoans weren't only interested in human cloning as we see the return of the Zillo beast in "Metamorphosis". While episode 10 does little to further the story, episode 11 does in fact set us up for some exciting storylines coming down the stretch. So sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

This episode we take a look at Episode #9 of The Bad Batch, "The Crossing". This is a super important episode from a macro perspective as it really highlights the varying ways different personalities handle the same situation, and the guys really dive into that aspect. In discussing Tech and Omega's interactions the guys share very personal stories about their own lives and how those experiences have shaped their methods of dealing with stress, anxiety, loss, etc. There are also some highly relatable moments in this episode for the new/perspective parent which are fun to discuss.

We of course dive into the IMDB ratings and reviews, as well as look ahead to the upcoming Mando S3 release and possible movie news whose announcement could be coming as soon as Star Wars Celebration! So sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

In this episode we take a look Episode 7 ("The Clone Conspiracy") and Episode 8 ("Truth and Consequences") of the Bad Batch! Two very important episodes which help to 'fill the gaps' in understanding how the TK program came to be, and how the Empire eventually decommissioned the Clones. On top of that the squad loses a member, setting up a trying period for the team. We look at who the mysterious 'Clone X' assassin might be, delve into Ramparts future, and gush briefly at the puppeteering prowess of Palpatine. All that and more so sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

On this special episode we are celebrating 'Star Wars Podcast Day' by sharing our favorite, and least favorite, character from the Disney era of Star Wars. Don't worry, this isn't a bash fest but rather a constructive look at where we felt certain characters maybe fell flat (or weren't given the chance) and where others have shined. We also have a couple 'honorable mentions' to go along with it, so sit back and relax this is where the fun begins! #StarWarsPodcastDay #SWPD2023

We've got double trouble on today's episode as we cover both 'Entombed' and 'Tribe'. Despite the differences, they are rather intertwined and come with a number of questions: Who are the ancient's who built Skara Nal? Could they be the Zeffo or was it someone else?  Will Omega's naivety get the Batch into trouble they can't escape later this season?  Who is the buyer for Gungi? Did we get confirmation that Omega is force sensitive? All that and more so sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

It's Star Wars meets Mario Kart in this week's episode of The Bad Batch ('Faster'). Introduced to 'Riot Racing' we breakdown the episode and discuss what long-term effects might be felt by the squad. We also take a look at the recent S3 trailer for "The Mandalorian". Plenty of new footage to be had, and lots to get us hyped up for March! We close with our "Fine Addition" segment where we look at some of the new adds to our collections. **Note: Apologies for the blips of "static" (around 8:30 and 11:30) we believe this is a rendering issue and will clean it up for future recordings**

The BAD BATCH is back! Season 2 kicks off with a double drop, "Spoils of War" and "Ruins of War", and the guys are back to recap them both. Omega has clearly leveled up her skill tree, and it's nice to see Echo and Tech involved for a change. We get a couple of fun nods to the original Clone Wars show, but has Rampart positioned himself to be the "Big Bad" this season? We look ahead to what the rest of the season might bring, and will we get to finally see the epic duel between Cad Bane and Boba Fett? Only time will tell, so sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

"The powderkeg of rebellion has been lit!"

In this episode we discuss the EXPLOSIVE final act of Andor. The culmination of the Ferrix arc Episodes 11 (Daughter's of Ferrix) and Episode 12 (Rix Road), see the Rebellion ignite as the people of Ferrix are embolden courtesy of a Mama Andor. We discuss the role of family, and how the greatest sources of strength come from those you love. We talk about the season as a whole and how the numerous themes and messages, all seemed to circle back to each other, and how these relate to our current day.

We also take a moment to discuss the recent news at Disney with the rehiring of Bob Iger, and the firing of Bob Chapek. What, if anything, could this mean for LFL or is this likely more an acquisition and Parks related move?

"Tonight there's going to be a jailbreak!"

In this installment the guys discuss the conclusion of the Narkina 5 arc with episodes 9 (Nobody's Listening) and 10 (One Way Out) of Andor. What easily could have been the last two episodes of the whole season, they deliver excellent world building, fantastic acting performances (complete with stirring monologues), and a jailbreak that would make Thin Lizzy proud!
