A surprisingly decent episode that feels like the first real attempt at fleshing out Anakin and Padme's relationship in the Clone Wars, and also serves as a bridge to the Geonosis arc. We were surprised to learn that this episode was actually referencing a Hitchcock movie, Notorious, from 1946, which helps to explain why the story ends so strongly. Let's jump in!

The chronological watch through provides us with a big bonus early in the second season, with a Seven Samurai tribute episode immediately followed by a Godzilla/King Kong arc with the Zillo Beast episodes. These episodes are some of our early favorites, and we have a blast revisiting them. Let's jump in!

A return to form for The Acolyte, our only criticism of Episode 4 is that we wish there was a little bit more of it. However, the closing minutes of the episode are some of the best Star Wars we've gotten yet, and we're excited to talk about where it leads! Let's jump in!

Well, we're finally talking about the Sequel Trilogy, for better or for worse. Opinions differ on whether these movies deserve to be held up in the hallowed halls of Star Wars canon, but it is our duty to discuss them none the less. Our overall opinions on the sequels may differ, but we both were able to find some things we really loved and enjoyed about TFA, as well as some area where we feel they could have told a better story. Let's dive in to part one!

The teaser trailer for Obi Wan Kenobi could not have dropped at a better time, saving us from going over to the Dark Side and discussing the sequels for at least one more week! Let's talk about everything that we saw in the short trailer, including the links to other media, what we know about the characters shown, and some new additions to the universe that haven't been seen before! We also take some time to talk about the long development of the Obi Wan show, and what direction we think the story may end up taking. Good to be back and talking about Star Wars again!

Now that the first season of Book of Boba Fett has wrapped up, let's take a look back at the show as a whole! Overall, there were some great episodes and some not so great episodes, alongside some cool new characters and a handful of characters we really wished we'd gotten to see more of too. What did we love? What could have been done better? How do we grade the show out as a whole now that we've seen every episode and gone back to binge them too? Pull up some bantha fodder and a glass of blue milk, and let's talk about everything to do with Book of Boba Fett season one!

Book of Boba Fett season 1 has come to an end, and what a conclusion it was! Rancors, droids, mods, and more are all on display in an enjoyable and chaotic climax to the controversial show. Some of our favorite characters come to an end, some are reunited, and the maybe the gang even gets to experience the true meaning of family, but does the season end on a high note or a bit of a letdown? Let's talk about chapter 7!

Dank farrik what an episode! Book of Boba Fett is back with one of the strongest episodes of live action Star Wars TV we've ever seen! As usual some people are upset about the location of the mouth on an alien, but we're just stoked to see some of the best characters return in a major way. Let's talk about whether emulating the Jedi ideals of the Republic era is a good idea, whether or not our favorite Twi'lek will be seen in the future, and who shot the sheriff (and who also shot the deputy)!

The fifth episode of Book of Boba Fett is absolutely amazing Star Wars content, but is it really just the first episode of the third season of Mandalorian? Can shows named after a character spend time with other characters? Why does everyone hate filler episodes? Is the Armorer really a little known assistant to Gar Saxon? We discuss all these ideas and more, on this week's Beneath Twin Suns!

The fourth episode of Book of Boba Fett is a real winner! One of the best flashbacks yet, followed up by some incredible scenes and story telling present-day Tatooine. A handful of familiar characters return, and we get our strongest "Godfather" feelings yet. Let's talk about "The Gathering Storm" and see if the show can't hit the ground running for the second half of the season!

The third episode of Book of Boba Fett is quite a mixed bag. There are criticisms about action scenes and story beats, but also some really great exposition and fun new characters added to the mix! Let's talk about our thoughts on Streets of Mos Espa and share some opinions on the community's reaction to it as well!

Let's talk about Book of Boba Fett's tremendous second episode! With Pykes, trains, speeders, bar fights, and lizard drug trips, this episode has it all!

Let's talk about the second live action Star Wars show on Disney+, with The Book of Boba Fett's first episode!

For the first time, we feel like The Acolyte stumbles a bit. Not because of any canon-breaking issues, which in reality are non-issues blown massively out of proportion, but because of an odd tonal shift with an incomplete feeling episode that doesn't add enough to the current mysteries to be worth the full diversion from the core story line. Let's jump in!

With two episodes that really feel like they should have been combined into one singular finale, we have finally reached the end of The Bad Batch. While Flash Strike left at least one of us wanting a bit more, the finale was a beautiful ending and it wraps up the story in a strong and heartfelt way. Let's jump in!

Really feeling the spaced out release schedule now with these episodes, Into the Breach is a solid story but feels incomplete without the surrounding episodes. On a rewatch paired with Juggernaut and Flash Strike it fits right in, but how does it stand up on its own? Let's jump in!

With these two episodes we experience a bit of tonal whiplash following so close on the heels of the excellent and very dark Identity Crisis, but there's some good stuff to be found. Point of No Return is a solidly decent episode, although at times we wish it had pushed the stakes a little higher, and Juggernaut is a return to typical Bad Batch fare for better or worse, though it has some good humor and excellent animation. Let's jump in!

Out of nowhere comes Identity Crisis, an episode which quickly has become of one our favorite episodes in the entire series. It's probably most comparable to Twin Suns in Rebels as a one-off with a strong message and intense story telling. Let's jump in!

After an extended break for Bad Batch and The Acolyte we finally return to our chronological watch through of the Clone Wars series. Season 2 starts off with a bang with the introduction of one of our favorite characters, Cad Bane, and the arc is an overall big step up from Season 1's limited production capabilities.

The show takes a bit of an odd departure in this episode, splitting up into A and B plots where the A plot features an old bounty hunter friend but unfortunately doesn't do a lot to move the plot forward or to world build, while the B plot features more fun times with Omega and Crosshair that we wish could have gotten more of the focus.

The showrunners seem to have developed the much appreciated ability to take an episode than in past seasons would have been disparaged as "filler" and give it just enough core plot movement to stave off that label. The majority of the focus of this episode is on the interpersonal relationships between members of the Batch, with some interesting parallels to Dune thrown in, and that's the strength of the show that has sometimes been missing from past episodes focused on the core characters.

The first quarter of Bad Batch's third season has concluded, and we may be off to one of the strongest starts of any season of Star Wars animated TV. Continuing to feel more like Andor than any other show, a standalone fourth episode successfully navigates the treacherous waters that come from following up the excellent third episode.

We finally make it to the chronological end of Season 1, and to our most looked forward to arc! Impressively, it lives up to expectations and helps the season to end on a very high note. This will be the last Chronological Clone Wars episode for some time, as starting next week we'll be back with The Bad Batch, catching up on the second season in preparation for the third.

Coming in with low expectations may have helped this two-parter, as both of us felt the episodes were better than we expected. For the most part, these episodes helped us to refocus on how Clone Wars is perceived and remember that first and foremost, it's a show for the kids. Let's jump in!
