In Episode 136, hosts Alyce and Laura are* feeling sassy! And excited to be back! We missed you, friends!
- Laura doesn’t road trip good (not as good, as Alyce or Jim Carrey on SNL)
- A lot of general celebrity gossip
- Casting news for Star Wars: Starfighter (via Variety)
- We’ve come back around to the conversation on an R-rated Star Wars film. Now Ryan Reynolds is weighing in. (via EW)
- Hear us out: Star Wars film in the style of Charlie’s Angels. Luminara. Aayla. Rey. Yoda is Charlie. See that one panel in the TROS comic adaptation #5 for cover art. You’re welcome.
- Absolutely STACKED Recap on Tap. Alyce has read some stuff Laura hasn’t read, and vice versa, but in summary, the end of The High Republic has been sorta meh =/
- Alyce briefly shares some spoiler-free thoughts on the end of Marvel’s The High Republic phase 3 comic run
- Alyce finished The High Republic: Into the Light, so we discuss briefly with spoilers. Skip 40:15-51:15 to avoid spoilers. Be advised this section also includes references to which characters do/don’t appear in Trials of the Jedi and how big their roles are.
- Laura read The High Republic: Trials of the Jedi and shares a spoiler-free review. If you want to skip this section, skip 51:20-59:00. (The novel is out today, June 17! Find it wherever you buy books now.)
- We finally get to catch up on Andor season 2! How season 2 compared to season 1, Benjamin Bratt as Bail, why we need to be OK with recasting, Diego Luna: code name Carlos, Laura is confused by some things (this is nothing new), and French is Star Wars now.
- Andor won the streaming ratings game (via SWNN)
- Magnesium, Materialists and Paint by Gemstones in Toast To!
