The Acolyte has come to a close. Did it live up to the hype? Was all that happened worth what the Jedi did to themselves? Are you wanting a second season to continue the story? Siber Wren and D.Vizsla evaluate all that went down in this finale, from the awesome lightsaber duels, to the dialogue, to the story and characters, as you know we always do…

The penultimate episode of The Acolyte. Once again we go back 16yrs and witness the events on Brendok through the Jedi's perspective this time. We see what they did. We see what happened. Was it enough to warrant putting themselves through the self made torture? Torbin killing himself? Kalnacca isolating himself? What else did we learn or did we ge…

More questions than answers this week on The Acolyte! With two episodes left, there's still a lot we need to uncover and find answers for. Has Osha chosen to join The Stranger? Can Sol catch up to them and deal with him? Will Vernestra catch up with Sol before it's too late? Is the Stranger working alone, is HE the Master? And who was his master wh…

Darkness has fallen. Jedi lay around the forest floor, having expelled their last breath. It's a slaughter. The Stranger wields power they have not seen before, and were unprepared to defend against it. Now only one remains standing. Sol, the Jedi Master who has his own inner demons to contend with, now must face his darkest hour alone as he witnes…

The race is on. Who can get to Kalnacca first on Khofar....Mae and Qimir intent on killing him, or the Jedi trying to save him? Apparently walking through heavily dense forests can make you think on things, as we see Mae come to a new decision that she doesn't need to do the master's bidding anymore with her sister being alive. This of course anger…

Destiny. Those that believe in it, believe they cannot change their own path, and everything is already written for them in roads ahead. But, if you pull on the thread of destiny, you can alter it's direction and open new paths to take. That's what we bare witness too as we go back 16yrs to when Osha and Mae were young and made their first big choi…

The Acolyte is upon us... An assassin out to complete one mission. Kill the four Jedi that she seeks revenge on. That's what we learn in these two opening episodes. And she's already halfway done!

It's bonus episode time! Here's our Calgary Expo 2024 MandaLore Live show! We had great fan interaction this year, and if you were there, thanks for coming out! The unfortunate thing is the audio for the fan questions didn't come out that great as there wasn't a good mic picking up the room so it's very quiet. We have done as much as we can to incr…

The end is here. The Bad Batch has come to a close. An emotional conclusion to a three season journey. It is always hard to say goodbye to a show that really gets to you.

Could this be the end? Without knowing what is coming or when, this finale, for now, is the end of our story for Ahsoka. Did it live up to the build up all season long? Did it have emotional payoff? Was it a worthy finale? Well we dive deep as always into all those questions and more, as we bring you our longest episode of the season for Ahsoka's f…

The calm before the storm.....is usually how it goes....but not in this pre-finale episode! Baylan and Shin catch up to Ezra and Sabine, and it's guns and sabers blazing!

Hey Star Wars fans! Happy Star Wars Day! This is a bonus episode of our live podcast we did at the Calgary Expo in 2023!

If you were there for the show a…

It's Mandalorian P.I.....or Mandalore 5 0! Yes yes, we're playing with the title, as this was a very typical, action oriented, cop show type of episode! Was it a bit goofy? Certainly. Could it work as a new kind of Star Wars show? Well that's for you to decide. But having Bo and Din chasing down rogue droids is a fun side quest kind of episode that…

Especially who is Emerie, apparently …

Bo-Katan got invited to the clan by the Armorer along with Din!! Wow, who saw that coming? For sure we thought there would be a confrontation...but none! Will she stick around? Elia fools Dr. Pershing into trusting her, and then fries his brain...what is she up to and who is she truly working for? So much to pick apart in this one, and we don't hav…

It's retirement time for the Batch....really? There's no way things can go this easy allowing them to settle down...could it?

What will Hunter and the team do now that they know there's more going on with the Empire? Will the Empire now hunt them down more officially looking for Omega? Tensions…

It's time to get the Marauder back! A wiley thief may have gotten away with our ship easily, but it won't be so easy to keep it, even though he sold it off for a half bottle of water! Our team finds themselves unlikely freedom fighters helping a slave mining colony break free of their oppression, and Omega makes a new friend. Send in your thoughts …
