She Wants More Than Answers
It's the final episode of Season 2! We finally read The Last Jedi novelization. We really liked it, but this episode does include the most swearing of any we've recorded (so far--and censored, don't worry). Somehow Domhnall Gleeson is to blame.

Leave Sy-O Alone!
In the penultimate episode of Season 2, Loya and Europa share their favorite stories from From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back, a collection published in celebration of the movie's 40th anniversary. Europa gets weird, Loya gets a little spicy, and we just have to mention Solo.

IT'S CALLED A BANANA
Nostalgic candy commercials. Critical updates on Toys "R" Us. Mark Hamill being delightful. Embarrassing moments for Loya, the droids, and the whole cast of Sesame Street. Hear about it all on our episode dedicated to Star Wars and the Muppets!
May the 4th Be With You

Galactic Glamour Part 2
Licensed cosmetologist (and Europa's sister) Cirri returns to chat about Star Wars fashion and beauty-- this time, we focus on the prequels. We talk our favorite Queen Amidala and Padme looks (including which ones we should wear) and Europa's surprising number of encounters with Natalie Portman. And of course, can't forget the male co-stars!

Raiders of the Lost Citadel
We're delving into the Doctor Aphra comics from the beginning, covering the Immortal Rur, Screaming Citadel, and Enormous Profit arcs. Featuring intense confusion about abersyn symbiotes (PLEASE write us at starwarssleepover@gmail.com with your explanation) and Europa's evolving Luke impression.

What Happens on Mandalore Stays on Mandalore
Through Sabine Wren, Bo-Katan Kryze, and the Darksaber, we explore what it means to be a Mandalorian. Special shout out to the unsung heroes (Loya, that was the word you were looking for) and Kevin McKidd, who has the misfortune to play Dr. Owen Hunt on Grey's Anatomy. For Mandalore!

Stay Afraid, But Do It Anyway
Join us as we delve into Claudia Gray's Leia, Princess of Alderaan. Europa relives her high school experience, complete with weird crushes, and Loya cautions against putting your daughter under a basket. We find inspiration in Leia, as always, and learn we should all take Amilyn Holdo's advice.

Alas, Poor Yoda
It's a light, fun episode! For real this time. We chat about LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales and related topics including: Star Wars Weekends (RIP), discovering Star Wars via Angry Birds (with traumatizing results), and Yoda's skull. We also uncover several TROS plot points lurking in LEGO Star Wars. Intriguing...
At the top of the episode, we discuss Gina Carano's recent firing from the Mandalorian and share several fundraisers created in support of trans rights and in response to antisemitism in the Star Wars fandom:
Trans Rights Are Human Rights: This is the Way (Fundraiser for the Transgender Law Center) - https://www.gofundme.com/f/trans-rights-are-human-rights-this-is-the-way
Put an End to Antisemitism in the Star Wars Fandom (Fundraiser for the Anti-Defamation League) - https://www.gofundme.com/f/put-an-end-to-antisemitism-in-the-star-wars-fandom
As always, show notes and more links at our website!

Once again, EK Johnston knows exactly what we want. This week, we discuss the mindful, meditative, and masterful Ahsoka.

EPISODE X: Canon Ashes
Despite the title (you'll get it when you listen), it's Reylo. Yep, we went there. Yep, we endorse it. In this episode, we cover the events of The Force Awakens and somehow go off on a tangent about Yoko Ono. This is the last episode (!) of Season 1, but we've got some announcements about upcoming content. Thanks for listening!
EPISODE IX: Way Harsh, Tai
This episode is part one of what, let's be real, is probably an extensive series about Ben Solo. We discuss Ben's childhood, family relationships, and the events of The Rise of Kylo Ren. With bonus Clueless references, of course. Show notes at starwarssleepover.com!
EPISODE VIII: “There are more of us”
EPISODE VII: Remember the Good Times
This episode, we talk Star Wars' most iconic couple - Han and Leia. Yes, they might both be gone now, but you have to remember the good times - the banter, the adventures, and the [insert fanning self gif] moments. Plus, we know you were just waiting for more dramatic line readings. It's all here. Show notes at www.starwarssleepover.com!
EPISODE VI: A Platonic Fantasy World
EPISODE V: Galactic Glamour
We're halfway through our season and we have our first guest! At this special sleepover, topics include: the perfect emo song for Kylo Ren (and the true meaning of emo), keeping your girlfriend happy with black market beauty products, thicc lekku, and of course, the best and worst of Star Wars style. Special thanks to Cerri! Show notes at www.starwarssleepover.com!
EPISODE IV: Mechanical difficulties
When you're just trying to talk about a droid/human relationship, but first you have to get into a debate about droid sentience and the nature of personhood. This episode, we discuss traumatizing droid death scenes, contemplate how into the Falcon Lando really is, and ask whether L3 liked chillin' on Jakku. Plus, our opinion on diners! IN SPACE!
