Star Wars: Cantina Chronicles – Details, episodes & analysis

The time has come to review the first triple-A, open world Star Wars game in ‘Star Wars: Outlaws’ developed by Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment alongside partner Lucasfilm Games. Join us inside the ‘Broken Hoof’ for a spoiler-free chat about our early impressions of the game and hear our thoughts for how the next iteration of open world Star Wars could build upon the sturdy foundation that is, Star Wars: Outlaws. 

Join us as we pour one out for The Acolyte, a show that brought compelling ideas to Star Wars and setup tantalizing questions that we sadly may never see resolved as the show is reported to have not been renewed for a second season. We then take our time calling out the toxic contingent of Star Wars fans and the rage-filled content mills on YouTube claiming “victory” over this announcement. After blasting the trolls, we descend on Disney and talk about the problem with the optics they’ve created through this decision and why data worship can lead to a monoculture of low art. If you stick around through the tumult of our frustration with both Disney and the fandom menace, we do eventually return to a state of joy and not only review some comics, but also host our first ever Underworld Draft! 

Cantina Chronicles

Episode 46 - The Phantom Master

Join us as we use the daylight hours wisely to share our instant reactions to Episode 4 of The Acolyte. After the sun sets on our scene-by-scene breakdown, the darkness takes hold and we dive into our theories surrounding the many mysteries presented in the show including; the wrongdoings of the Jedi, the mysterious death of Kelnacca, and of course, the identity of The Master… That is, if his identity matters, as we’re beginning to suspect something far more arcane and sinister could be at hand (or better yet, on head).
