Growing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian Season 3 Finale: “The Return”We did it! We finished The Mandalorian! Not just the finale, but the first and second epilogue too!The action-packed conclusion to The Mandalorian brought laughs, drama, and really closed the loop on the themes of the whole series. We compare two big bads of the empire, Moff Gideon and Grand Admiral Thrawn; and worry about how we still don't know where Big Blue is (or what nefariousness he's up to). We also talk about the future of Mandalore as defined by its past and by its potential.Next week, our Ahsoka coverage begins with...
2026-01-271h 03Growing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian, Chapter 23: “The Spies”“The Spies” (The Mandalorian, Chapter 23) presents a real good news/bad news situation for the Mandalorians.The good news: Mandalore is habitable! The tribes have united! There are only a few terrible megafauna left to terrorize the planet!The bad news: The Imperial remnants have formed a Shadow Council following up on allllllll of their predecessors’ special interests, and Moff Gideon is angling to be their boss.This week, we’re talking through the good (the Child piloting IG-11’s corpse) as well as the bad and ugly (the rise of fascism throughout the galaxy once more). Our heroes...
2026-01-201h 05Growing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian, Chapter 22: “Guns for Hire”Is Plazir-15 a fully automated, luxury gay space utopia? More importantly, is it the first solarpunk Star Wars community??In the Mandalorian’s Chapter 22, “Guns For Hire,” we parse the depth and breadth of droid rights while we try to figure out if Plazir-15 (ruled over by Duchess Lizzo and Captain Jack Black Bombardier) actually is the yogurt commercial utopia of our dreams. We also get mad Clone Wars callbacks to the Mon Calamari civil war, film noir detective stories, and roger-roger battle droids. The best part is getting to question our own beliefs about the me...
2026-01-131h 03Growing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian, Chapter 21: “The Pirate”How much does independence from the New Republic matter to you when you’re being shelled by sentient algae/pirate king Gorian Shard?That’s the question Greef Karga and all of Nevarro have to answer this week in The Mandalorian, Chapter 21: “The Pirate.”We ask how societies in Star Wars thread the needle between bureaucracy and independence, especially when your government might be filled with secret fascists. We also gush over New Republic pilot bars (!) and 7-foot tall returning fan favorite characters (!!!) filled with Rebels callbacks.This week's episode takes the Mandalorian’s penchant...
2026-01-061h 04Growing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian, Chapter 20: “The Foundling”So we agree, Ahmed Best is the best?This week, we’re recapping the mythology-filled midpoint of the Mandalorian’s third season, “The Foundling” (Chapter 20). We parse the effects of Mandalorian myth, legend, and custom on the Children of the Watch’s community. We wonder whether Bo-Katan will stay, and where Kelleran Beq went. And we ask the real heavy-hitting questions about having sons and daughters when you belong to a society where no one takes their helmets off.New to Growing Up Skywalker?

2025-12-231h 06Growing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian, Chapter 19: “The Convert”It doesn’t get more packed than this plot-filled sandwich.The Mandalorian’s nineteenth chapter, “The Convert,” takes us through two action-packed plotlines: Bo-Katan and Din Djarin’s acceptance into the Children of the Watch, and Dr. Pershing’s struggle to assimilate into the New Republic.We dive DEEP into World War Two-era denazification programs as we parse Dr. Pershing’s journey, asking how the New Republic’s approach differed from the Allied Power’s and how AI might have been the ultimate reason for Dr. Pershing’s failure. We also ask a big question about Bo-Katan’s con...
2025-12-161h 06Growing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian, Chapter 18: “The Mines of Mandalore”How scary could the troglodyte-indested mines underneath a thoroughly bombed wasteland planet really be? With a lot of “But wait, there's more” energy, this week’s episode, “The Mines of Mandalore” (Season 3, Chapter 18) brings the action!Our conversation dives into the multiple massive lore dumps we receive, and how they open new questions into Bo-Katan’s motivations, what it means to be a Mandalorian, and what the future of Mandalore holds. We also talk through the legacy of horror tropes in Star Wars.New to Growing Up Skywalker? Come join us for non-toxic Star Wars recaps from...
2025-12-0952 minGrowing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian Season 3 Premiere: “The Apostate”New quests, who dis? The Mandalorian’s third series opens with a tempting array of side quests: Spelunking into the Mines of Mandalore, rebuilding IG-11, rejoining the Children of the Watch, and actively parenting Grogu. What will Mando choose?In our recap of The Mandalorian’s Season 3 premiere, “The Apostate,” we talk through Nevarro’s glow-up, the Mandalorian covert’s new digs, and Bo-Katan’s next move. There are a lot of players this season, and many of them are on a path to redemption.New to Growing Up Skywalker? Come join us for non-toxic S...
2025-12-021h 07Growing Up SkywalkerThe Book of Boba Fett Finale: “In the Name of Honor” (Season 1, Episode 7)The Book of Boba Fett finishes with a bang (and a whimper, if your name is Cad Bane).In our recap of the series finale, we discuss Boba Fett’s big Mandalorian energy and how he has truly been reborn a Tusken. We talk about war—and what comes next—and chart out the possible ramifications of Grogu’s choice. The vibes? Hopeful. The aesthetics? Impeccable. This is a stellar way to close out a show.New to Growing Up Skywalker? Come join us for non-toxic Star Wars recaps from a veteran and a new fan. New...
2025-11-251h 11Growing Up SkywalkerThe Book of Boba Fett: “From The Desert Comes a Stranger” (Season 1, Episode 6)Spaghetti Western truly meets space opera in The Book of Boba Fett’s “From The Desert Comes a Stranger” (Season 1, Episode 6).This week, we dive deep into Luke Skywalker’s attempt to rebuild the Jedi Order and the Pyke Syndicate’s attempt to bring about a swift victory in their war on Tatooine. We think about Cad Bane’s reasons for buying in with the Pykes, Mando’s decision to leave the Child where he is, and the fork in the road Luke presents to Grogu. This episode is, at its heart, all about choices.New to Gr...
2025-11-181h 10Growing Up SkywalkerThe Book of Boba Fett: “The Return of the Mandalorian” (Season 1, Episode 5)Is this Book of Boba Fett episode…also the best episode of The Mandalorian??In “The Return of the Mandalorian” (Season 1, Episode 5), we get exactly zero Boba Fett—which is a surprisingly low number, given the whole clone thing, but we digress. We do, however, revel in Din Djarin’s return to the small screen, Peli Moto’s utter hamminess, and the deep lore of the Children of the Watch.This episode blends the comic book pulp of The Book of Boba Fett and the sleek composure of The Mandalorian for an 11/10 feast for the senses. And...

GENERATION SKYWALKER: A STAR WARS PODCASTTHOSE OLD FOSSILS 29: BOBA FETT PART 2 | VINTAGE STAR WARS TOYSHe’s the galaxy’s most notorious bounty hunter — and one of the most iconic action figures ever released. In this episode of Generation Skywalker, we dive jetpack-first into the history, legends and lasting impact of the vintage Star Wars Boba Fett figure.
We kick things off with our review of the latest Echo Base Live, which took place in Redditch on 11/10/2025 — the finds, the atmosphere, and highlights from the UK’s premier vintage collecting event.
Then the hunt begins.

2025-11-072h 07Growing Up SkywalkerThe Book of Boba Fett: “The Gathering Storm” (Season 1, Episode 4)As The Book of Boba Fett hits its midpoint in “The Gathering Storm” (Season 1, Episode 4), we take a critical look at its structure and debate whether this story would have been stronger told chronologically. We also sing the praises of its practical effects, talk through body modification culture in Star Wars, and discuss the horrifying effectiveness of Fennec Shand. New to Growing Up Skywalker?

2025-11-041h 05Growing Up SkywalkerThe Book of Boba Fett: “The Streets of Mos Espa” (Season 1, Episode 3)How about that speeder chase?If you’re all about vengeance, style, and speeder scooter gangs, "The Streets of Most Espa" is the episode for you. The Book of Boba Fett’s third episode takes on the fun topics of colonization, organized crime, and violence—and makes them thrilling, stylish, harrowing, and even somewhat silly.In our deep dive, we cover the post-World War II mod culture of Great Britain, Black Krrsantan’s outrageously scary presene, and the different ruling styles of Boba Fett, Bib Fortuna, and Jabba the Hutt. We're in the thick of The Book...
2025-10-301h 00Growing Up SkywalkerThe Book of Boba Fett: “The Tribes of Tatooine” (Season 1, Episode 2)Is “The Tribes of Tatooine” the best live-action Star Wars episode yet?If not—it’s pretty dang close. The Book of Boba Fett’s second episode delivers a transcendent work of art that dives into the colonization of the Tusken people, ritual and rebirth, and the optics of power in Mos Espa and across the Dune Sea.In our deep dive, we parse the language of power spoken by the Hutts, the Pykes, and Boba Fett. We dig into Tusken cultural heritage and parallels between the Hutts and real-world crime syndicates. And we trace the comic...
2025-10-211h 03Growing Up SkywalkerThe Book of Boba Fett Premiere: “Stranger in a Strange Land”The comic book vibes are strong with this one.Watching in chronological order (like we do), The Mandalorian’s Season 2 finale leads straight into The Book of Boba Fett’s premiere, “Stranger in a Strange Land.” It’s not as pulpy or epic as Robert Rodriguez’s previous Boba Fett-centric episode (“The Tragedy”), but some shots—like Boba Fett’s fist punching through the sands of Tatooine—are straight out of a comic book panel. We talk through Boba Fett’s interpretation of Daimyo and compare it to previous crime bosses, like Maul and Dryden Vos. We also discuss the...
2025-10-1456 minGrowing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian Season 2 Finale: “The Rescue”The Season 2 finale of The Mandalorian (Chapter 16, “The Rescue”) sweeps to a stunning conclusion. Prepare to weep.This week, we celebrate THAT cameo—and the way this episode works for both new and veteran fans. We sing praises to the all-gal attack squadron that takes Moff Gideon’s light cruiser, discuss Imperial calcification in the wake of the Death Star(s) being destroyed, and look forward to continuing the Mandalorian’s tale.Next week, we’ll do just that, in The Book of Boba Fett, Chapter 1: “Stranger in a Strange Land.”New to Growing Up Skywa...
2025-10-0758 minGrowing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian, Chapter 15: “The Believer”What line would you cross, and why? In this week’s episode, “The Believer” (The Mandalorian, Chapter 15), we go deep into that question—plumbing the depths of honor, extremism, and vengeance.Like a Clone Wars or Rebels episode brought to life, this episode is an utter treat and absolutely kicked up a notch in preparation for the finale. “Pulpy” and “iconic” are words that come to mind as Mando gets the gang together and Bill Burr blows the roof off of a really good script.Next week, we finish Season 2 of The Mandalorian and finally put The Book of...
2025-09-301h 02Growing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian, Chapter 14: “The Tragedy”The tragedies of “The Tragedy” (The Mandalorian Chapter 14) are as follows: The Child is stolen. The Razor Crest is disintegrated. Boba Fett only gets to shatter the helmets of, like, 15 Stormtroopers, when we could watch it all day.This week, we’re covering themes of honor, promises, life debts, and what we owe each other. We also talk about cool Force hotspots/seeing stones, and the tension between the remaining Jedi and the New Republic. But mostly we fangirl over Boba Fett.PS: We recorded this episode prior to the reinstatement of Jimmy Kimmel to the ai...
2025-09-231h 03Growing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian, Chapter 13: “The Jedi”The Mandalorian’s thirteenth chapter, “The Jedi,” picks up Morgan Elsbeth’s story right where it left off in Tales of the Empire. Ahsoka’s tale, though, is another story.This week, we rehash the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff of Ahsoka’s journey, and discover just how alone she’s been since The Clone Wars. We sing Rosario Dawson’s praises, develop a hearty suspicion that Grand Admiral Thrawn and the Imperial remnants are up to no good, and land on the critical difference between Morgan Elsbeth, former Nightsister, and Ahsoka Tano, former Jedi.New to Growing Up Skywa...
2025-09-161h 09Growing Up SkywalkerTales of the Empire: Morgan’s TaleIn “Tales of the Empire: Morgan’s Tale,” we wind through the paths of fear, anger, and finally hatred to tell a tale of witches, genocide, ambition, and revenge. But we definitely haven’t reached the end of the path yet, because Moran Elsbeth’s great destiny is still definitely a mystery???We thread our discussion of “The Path of Fear,” “The Path of Anger,” and “The Path of Hate” with analysis of the anti-hero’s journey, Morgan’s motivations to join the Empire, and Thrawn’s desire to see order created out of chaos. We also shake our fist at Star Wars...
2025-09-091h 06Growing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian, Chapter 12: “The Siege”Is it a siege, or more of an infiltration? Regardless, The Mandalorian’s Chapter 12, “The Siege,” brings us back to Nevarro—and a plotline we thought we’d seen the end of.This week, we’re diving back into Project Necromancer and all of its implications. We talk through the twin difficulties of transferring both consciousness and Force affinity, question who is directing Dr. Pershing’s efforts, and ask what the ultimate goal might be. We also give a performance review of Cara Dune as the Marshall, and spin theories on how Rangers of the New Republic might have gon...
2025-09-021h 09Growing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian, Chapter 11: “The Heiress”We met the Marshall, we escorted the Passenger, and now we’re encountering…the Heiress. (It’s Bo-Katan, baybee!)In this week’s episode, we tell the entire bloody tale of Mandalorian history: Tracing the Darksaber’s path through Mandalorian society, tracing Bo-Katan’s journey from radical to royal, and asking how Din Djarin ended up in a religious extremist splinter cell.We also dig into the (alarmingly well-organized!!) Imperial remnants who keep popping up around the galaxy.New to Growing Up Skywalker? Come join us for non-toxic Star Wars recaps from a veteran and...
2025-08-261h 07Growing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian, Chapter 10: “The Passenger”Anna’s been dreading having to recap this episode for 4 ½ years. But it turns out it actually has some lovely themes of parenthood and what we’ll do for love??In our recap of “The Passenger” (The Mandalorian, Chapter 10) we watch as Mando walks ten thousand miles in the desert heat and wades through at least one million ice spiders—and has to learn that real parents maybe, possibly, generally try not to put their children through this kind of trauma.We talk through the excellent cameos of this episode (looking at you, Filoni) and parse the f...
2025-08-191h 00Growing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian Season 2 Premiere: "The Marshal"With twists, turns, and one of the largest monsters ever seen in Star Wars, The Mandalorian’s second season starts with a cannonball.In our recap of Chapter 9, “The Marshal,” we gather a basket full of Easter eggs—and identify how they serve the plot, not just the vibes, of this dragon versus cowboys mashup. We weigh the influence of both Camelot-era fantasy and spaghetti Westerns, discuss perceptions from a first-time viewer, and wonder what (if any) Season 1 criticisms the show may be reacting to in its Season 2 premiere.With the shattering roar of the k...
2025-08-121h 14Growing Up SkywalkerTales of the Underworld: Asajj’s TaleIf you could live, but only without your heart’s desire, would you still choose life?Asajj does in “Tales of the Underworld,” and the shroud of her love affair with Quinlan Vos from Dark Disciple (2015) hangs heavy over her tale. But it’s also full of surprising tenderness, self-determination, and a willingness to start new. More than any of the Tales, Asajj’s story feels like a fully realized work of art.We track Asajj’s journey through the Star Wars timeline, compare her with her foils—Anakin and Ahsoka—and sing our praises of her decision...
2025-08-051h 06Growing Up SkywalkerTales of the Underworld: Cad’s TaleCad Bane is bound to a life of blood and money. (And blood money.) Will it be his only legacy?Deeply out of chronological order, we’re venturing five or six decades before the Battle of Yavin to watch Cad Bane grow up in “Tale of the Underworld.” We examine how, and why, Star Wars chose to tell a police drama, a spaghetti Western, and a Mafia crime ascendancy in the same story. We parse the fantasy of the “good cop,” wonder about Cad and Niro’s legacy, and discuss the critical reception of this very lovely...

2025-07-261h 42Growing Up SkywalkerAndor Season 2 Finale: “Jedha, Kyber, Erso”It’s the end of an era. And so many lives.This week, we trace the ways that Andor knits itself together into the wider tapestry of Star Wars, specifically by tying itself to Rogue One. We question whether the Rebels’ sacrifices are cheapened by Luke Skywalker’s heroism in Episode IV, define heroism through two key characters—Bix and Nemik—and investigate the reasons why Rebel High Command…is like that.We also name our favorite aspects of Andor, and crown it the ultimate Star Wars show.New to Growing Up Skywalker? Come join us...
2025-07-151h 12Growing Up SkywalkerAndor: “Who Else Knows?” (Season 2, Episode 11)We feel pretty confident that most sane Andor viewers skipped right from “Who Else Knows?” (S2, E11) into the finale. Turns out, there’s still a LOT to discuss in the penultimate episode of Andor ever.We spent significant time this week digging into ISB hierarchies, and how the rise and fall of ambitious Imperials has hollowed out the Empire’s institutions. We dissect ISB politics and competency through lenses of race and gender. We also paint parallels between Luthen Rael and French revolutionary Charles de Gaulle, and delight in Rebel downtime.New to Growing Up Skywa...
2025-07-081h 14Growing Up SkywalkerAndor: “Make It Stop” (Season 2, Episode 10)And the death count grows.This week, in “Make It Stop” (Andor S2 E10), everyone is either leveling up, going rogue—or shuffling off this mortal coil. As we get booted another year forward in time, we talk through Lonni’s growth into a true spymaster and Dedra’s grief curdling even deeper into fanaticism. Then, looking deeper into the past, we examine Luthen and Kleya’s father/daughter relationship and parse why Luthen felt compelled to begin the Rebellion.In a fun turn, we also get to theorycraft about medical tech in Star Wars. (Spoiler aler...
2025-07-011h 10Growing Up SkywalkerAndor: “Welcome to the Rebellion” (Season 2, Episode 9)Two ferocious monologues close the penultimate chapter of Andor, “Welcome to the Rebellion” (Andor S2 E9).To do a proper recap of this week’s episode, we also rewatched Rebel’s “Secret Cargo” (S3 E18), showing the conclusion to Mon’s journey to unite the Rebellion. We talk through Senate corruption, Luthen’s role—or lack thereof—in the Rebellion proper, and just how many conspirators it took to deliver the Rebellion their leader.New to Growing Up Skywalker? Come join us for non-toxic Star Wars recaps from a veteran and a new fan. New episodes every Tuesd...
2025-06-241h 07Growing Up SkywalkerAndor: “Who Are You?” (Season 2, Episode 8)Our hearts are heavy this week as we compare the Empire’s actions on Ghorman to real-world parallels. This week, as we recap Andor’s “Who Are You?” (S2, E8), we draw connections to the Gleiwitz incident that kicked off WWII, student massacres in Tiananmen Square, and sniper deaths in Syria—plus the Los Angeles protests and Minnesota political assassinations. It has not been a fun week, y’all!!!!We talk false flag operations, compare the story of Ghorman to that of Lothal, and ask whether non-violent protest would have gotten the Ghormans any further. And we finally clos...
2025-06-171h 09Growing Up SkywalkerAndor: “Messenger” (Season 2, Episode 7)The girls are fighting!! And by the girls, we mean the Rebellion and Luthen (probably).In Andor’s “Messenger” (S2, E7) we parse the schism between the Rebellion proper and…whatever Luthen is up to. Relationships are at the core of this episode, and we dig into Bix and Cassian’s healthy, established love; Dedra and Syril’s anemic but weirdly passionate love affair; and Vel’s grieving process. We also watch Cassian fight to remain a free agent, even as the Rebellion grows steadily more organized. Also, does Bix have a job??New to Growing Up Sky...
2025-06-101h 06Growing Up SkywalkerAndor: “What A Festive Evening” (Season 2, Episode 6)It was the best of times, it was the bloodiest of times. And for some, it was a very festive evening. In our recap of “What A Festive Evening” (S2, E6), we dive into relationships in the Rebellion. Should our Rebels be giving them up for the cause, or clinging to what makes them feel human? We dive deep into engineering ethics and why Dr. Gorst definitely should have suffered more. And we parse whether a show with such a high death toll can still be faulted for Burying Its Gays.New to Growing Up Skywa...
2025-06-031h 11Growing Up SkywalkerAndor: “I Have Friends Everywhere” (Season 2, Episode 5)Wake up babe, new Saw Gerrera backstory just dropped.This week, we’re asking what makes a Rebel cell the “real deal.” Is it Saw Gerrera’s Cave Angels, who have all the fire—but lack direction? Is it the Ghorman Front, who want the Empire gone, but haven’t looked past their front doorstep? And do Luthen, Kleya, and Cassian count, when they keep raising the barrier to entry to the Rebellion?We’re asking all this, and whether Dedra cares if Syril lives or dies, in our recap of “I Have Friends Everywhere” (Andor S2, E5)....
2025-05-271h 10Growing Up SkywalkerAndor: “Ever Been To Ghorman?” (Season 2, Episode 4)If you’re looking for liminal spaces, 1 million French WWII parallels, and honeypots for days, this episode is for you.In “Ever Been To Ghorman?” (Andor S2, E4), we meditate on resource extraction and the Ghormans’ supremely reasonable political demands. We also dive deep into the history of the Maquis—the French resistance group fighting Nazis during WWII—and feel very, very worried about Bix. New to Growing Up Skywalker? Come join us for non-toxic Star Wars recaps from a veteran and a new fan. New episodes every Tuesday.Want more Growing Up Skywalker? Th...
2025-05-201h 12Growing Up SkywalkerAndor: “Harvest” (Season 2, Episode 3)The harvest has come in, and we’re tallying one less Rebel in its count.In the final installment of Andor’s first triptych, “Harvest” (S2, E3), we’re counting the cost of freedom. Mon sells her daughter to the Rebellion, Vel catches a glimpse of a lover who never spares the time…and one of our faves gives their life to the cause. In a happier light, we also revel in Chandrilan wedding rites and wonder how that marriage is really going to go. The star of this episode is, obviously, the Syril/Eedy/Dedra dinner...
2025-05-131h 07Growing Up SkywalkerAndor: “Sagrona Teema” (Season 2, Episode 2)Andor’s second season is a different beast—and an absolute feast of real-world parallels.In “Sagrona Teema,” (Andor S2, E2), the differences between Andor’s seasons become clear: Season 2 is faster, more mysterious, and altogether more oblique. But the parallels to life in 2025 have become even more clear. In our recap this week, we draw the lines connecting Andor to ICE deportations, leftist infighting, and issues of consent. On a happier note, we’re giving a Chandrilan toast to the return of Syril and the hard launch of Sedra (is that their couple name??). New to Gr...
2025-05-061h 10Growing Up SkywalkerAndor Season 2 Premiere: “One Year Later”Fast, pointed, and irresistibly astute: Andor’s Season 2 premiere, “One Year Later,” isn’t holding any punches.In our recap this week, we discuss Andor’s magical ability to pull on both historic and modern-day threads. The super-secret Imperial summit, for instance, calls back to the World War II Wannsee Conference and its “Final Solution of the Jewish Question.” But it’s also a dead ringer for conversations about energy independence happening in the White House today.In its zippy season premiere, Andor manages to mock leftist infighting (again), stage a gloriously tense TIE Avenger heist, and throw...
2025-04-291h 02Growing Up SkywalkerSkeleton Crew Season 1 Premiere: "This Could be a Real Adventure"This could be a real adventure—and a real vibe shift for Growing Up Skywalker.Hot off the heels of our coverage of The Mandalorian’s first season, we’re diving into a brighter side of the galaxy in Skeleton Crew.In our recap of the premiere, “This Could Be a Real Adventure,” we discuss the mysteries of At Attin, the tyranny of suburbs, and the glorification of busyness. We also cover the critical reception of the show (which contrasts heavily with the reception of The Acolyte during a similar timeframe) and continue our Mandal...
2025-03-041h 03Growing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian, Chapter 7: The ReckoningMaarva Andor's words about reckonings loom over our discussion today. As authoritarianism creeps over the United States, we’re finding parallels to the Imperial Era everywhere.In “The Reckoning” (The Mandalorian, Chapter 7), we explore the governance (and lack thereof) of the New Republic, the rise of fascism in a post-Endor era, and what the Empire looks like in ABY 9. We also pay an homage to Kuiil—the original Bae, and one of the reasons for the start of Growing Up Skywalker—by exploring the concept of honor.This cliffhanger episode ratchets up the tension, and we have a...
2025-02-181h 13Growing Up SkywalkerThe Mandalorian Season 1 Premiere: The MandalorianThree and a half years ago, Growing Up Skywalker began a non-toxic, chronological weekly watchthrough of all of Star Wars—with the goal of getting to The Mandalorian. And we’re here! We’re finally here!
On the show this week, we’re recapping the premiere of the shot heard ’round the world in the form of the first Star Wars live-action TV show, “The Mandalorian.” We talk through justice in the Era of the New Republic, the mishmash of ancient legend + spaghetti Western + samurai story + space opera, and the reason we created our fan-favorite segment, Bae Watch. (Spoile...
2024-12-311h 09Growing Up SkywalkerTales of the Empire: Barriss’s TaleWe often talk about how every Star Wars character’s story forms a tile in the mosaic of the galaxy, and Barriss Offee’s tale is no exception.
In our final “catch-up” episode to get back into chronological order, we’re covering Tales of the Empire: Barriss’s Tale (S1, Ep. 4–6, “Devoted,” “Realization,” and “The Way Out”). We dive into themes of redemption, the parallels between Barriss, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka, and the archetype of The Crone.
AND FINALLY! After a one-week holiday break, we’ll arrive at the reason Growing Up Skywalker started in the first place: The Mandalorian...
2024-12-161h 07Growing Up SkywalkerThe Acolyte Season 1 Premiere: Lost / FoundIn a perfect galaxy, where our in-universe chronology could stretch uninterrupted, this would be our very first podcast episode. So…welcome to Growing Up Skywalker!
We’re typewritering back in time to watch “The Acolyte” (2024). The season premiere, “Lost / Found,” invites us to ask about the elitism of the Jedi, the seeds of fascism, and the good twin/bad twin paradigm. We also talk about this episode’s beautiful pacing and masterful manipulation of reality, perception, and time.
If you’re looking for a non-toxic space to love on The Acolyte, Growing Up Skywalker is your home. Join...
2024-09-101h 06Growing Up SkywalkerReturn of the Jedi: Part 2Freed from the tiny little raccoon hands of the Ewoks, our heroes immediately split up and start really moving the needle on the main plot of the Original Trilogy. Buckle in losers, we've got a redemption arc, a Death Star to destroy, and heroic (carnivorous) teddy bears!
After 160 episodes of Growing Up Skywalker, we finally hit the end of the Original 3. The moment of Anakin's redemption hits really different after seeing his entire story. This week, we had a deep conversation on the nature of the Force, cosmic death, destiny, and redemption.
Next week, we're n...
2024-09-031h 10Growing Up SkywalkerA New Hope: Part 2We’re carrying the wisdom of 150+ episodes of Growing Up Skywalker into our viewing of the second half of 1977’s “Star Wars: A New Hope.” Turns out, we’re super jaded about Luke and Han shooting down a measly 4 TIE fighters—but Leia’s sass will never get old.
This week, we’re diving into Star Wars archetypes, tropes, and sacred plotlines. We’re also doing deep dives into Leia, Han, Luke, Obi-Wan, and Vader—and shedding not a single tear for Wilhuff Tarkin.
This week, we’re also discussing Star Wars women on the Patreon. Join us!

2024-08-061h 16Growing Up SkywalkerA New Hope: Part 1Hello there! Welcome from a new point of view.
After more than three years watching Star Wars in universe chronology, we hit the grandaddy of it all: 1977’s “Star Wars: A New Hope.”
Watching this film with the context of everything that has come before it makes for an absolutely extraordinary viewing experience.
Join us for 00:00 to 01:05:49—right when the Millenium Falcon is tractor beamed into the not-moon of the Death Star. We’re talking hard about the veteran viewer’s experience versus a new fan’s; deep dives into Obi-Wan, Han, and Luke; and what’s still working, nearly 50 years...
2024-07-301h 11Growing Up SkywalkerRogue One: Part 2Rogue One's second half starts with a crash and gets wilder from there. From 56:17 on, we string together heroic space battles, Vietnam war techniques, and Star Wars’ classically atrocious file-sharing practices. We do, indeed, both cry about X-wings.
But now, the real question. Does this Growing Up Skywalker experiment work? Is the strict internal chronology the way to watch Star Wars? Join us next week for 1977's breakout, genre-defining classic—”A New Hope,” Part One.

2024-07-231h 18Growing Up SkywalkerRebels: "Family Reunion - And Farewell" (Season 4, Episode 15)Well, that's it. Rebels is done. What a ride! From the epic action to the thrilling post-war coda, this episode encapsulated the true meaning of rebellion. We cried (a lot).
"Family Reunion - And Farewell" (Season 4, Episode 15) pulls together everything the Rebels needed to pull off the biggest mission they've ever undertaken—the polestar of the whole series—the liberation of Lothal. Thrawn can’t even hope to thwart them this time. But just as Rebels giveth, Rebels taketh away, and we spend time coming to terms with the sacrifices that Lothal’s liberation required.
What's ne...
2024-07-091h 08Growing Up SkywalkerRebels: "A World Between Worlds" and "A Fool's Hope" (Season 4, Episodes 13–14)This is the final countdown…before the end of Rebels!!
Everything comes together in these episodes: Ahsoka, Ezra, Palpatine, the past, the future, and the necessity of sacrifice.
In "A World Between Worlds" (Season 4, Episode 13), we get the answer to Ahsoka’s fate from waaaaaay back in Season 3. (SHE LIVES!!!) As Ezra is forced into a devastating choice, the Phoenix cell is left with burnt bridges and scarce resources. But they are Rebels—and this is where they excel.
In "A Fool's Hope" (Season 4, Episode 14) the Rebels scrape together every ally they can for a d...
2024-07-0259 minGrowing Up SkywalkerRebels: "Dume” and "Wolves and a Door” (Season 4, Episodes 11–12)Welcome to our most mystical, magical episode of Rebels (and Growing Up Skywalker…and probably Star Wars) ever.
“Dume” and “Wolves and a Door” (Rebels S4, 11–12) bring back the mysteries of the Mortis Arc and take us deep into the heart of Force magic. We guess about the connection between Kanan and the Loth-wolf Dume, and question what Palpatine wants from a gateway that allows someone to bend space/time and control the galaxy. And, of course, because we’re still not over it—we meditate on different forms of grief.

2024-06-181h 04Growing Up SkywalkerRebels: "Rebel Assault” and "Jedi Night” (Season 4, Episodes 9–10)X-wings and Major Plot Development, here we come.
The rebel assault in "Rebel Assault" (Rebels S4, 9) goes off with a bang, but then goes down in flames. With our heroes on the run or worse, the Loth-wolves have important information to share with Kanan.
However, "Jedi Night"(Rebels S4,10) breaks the mold about what a star wars episode is, and we are left dealing with devastating fallout both on Lothal and in the hearts of watchers. We still have more of Rebels S4, but the stakes have never been higher for what will happen on L...

GENERATION SKYWALKER: A STAR WARS PODCASTTHE BARRY GINGELL INTERVIEW - LIVE FROM FARTHEST FROMThis episode features our interview with Barry Gingell.
Barry worked as a Graphic Designer on both seasons of Andor, he also appeared on screen in the series as rebel Anto Kreegyr. He is a massive Star Wars fan and provides an enthusiastic insight into the series, sharing details of his involvement and many of the hidden Easter eggs.
This was recorded in front of a live audience at the Farthest From Xmas Dinner on Saturday 9th December 2023, when Barry joined Jez on stage as part of the Generation Skywalker take over of the event.
2024-06-0939 minGrowing Up SkywalkerRebels: "Kindred” and "Crawler Commandeers” (Season 4, Episodes 7–8)On all levels except physical, this episode is just wolves.
We delve deeper into Loth-wolf lore in “Kindred” and “Crawler Commandeers” (Rebels S4, 7–8) as we learn they can step across space and time…and drop our intrepid heroes in the path of sinister Imperial plots on Lothal. As the Rebellion’s invasion of Lothal approaches, TIE Defenders may be not be their biggest worry.

2024-06-041h 06Growing Up SkywalkerRebels: "The Occupation” and "Flight of the Defender” (Season 4, Episodes 5–6)A tension has settled over Lothal. The Empire has locked down the entire planet, and is debuting the new and improved TIE defender. Fortunately, this gives Sabine and Ezra pretty much every chance to shine.
In our recap of “The Occupation” and “Flight of the Defender” (Rebels S4, 5–6) we talk about Loth-wolves, environmentalism, and the fever pitch of Imperial atrocities. And (duh) we sing a swan song to the TIE Defender Elite and why it might be even more important than the Death Star.
These episodes are tough to talk about with spoiling Episode IV, A New Hope...

Joining back up with the rest of the Phoenix cell on Yavin 4 for the first time, our heroes are once again confronted with doing good versus doing right. When Saw Gerrera shows back up to solve problems his way, we're brought along as well!
“In the Name of the Rebellion” (Rebels S4, Ep 3–4) covers a lot of emotional ground. We see the Rebels confront the question of doing good versus doing what’s best for the Rebellion. They battle with a des...
2024-05-211h 06Growing Up SkywalkerRebels Season 4 Premiere: “Heroes of Mandalore” (Season 4, Episodes 1–2)While the Phoenix cell was getting obliterated on Atollon last week, war was brewing on Mandalore. Joining Clan Wren and the Protectors is our favorite redhead (besides Anna)—Bo-Katan Kryze!
In "Heroes of Mandalore" (Rebels S4, Ep. 1–2) we talk about Mandalorian warrior culture, the ethics of imperialism, the darksaber, and the importance of family. Also, it's been a long time since Bo-Katan crashed into her sister's throne room with Ahsoka in S7 of The Clone Wars, so we speculate a LOT about what she's been up to.
This arc is fast and violent and involves a pai...

In the most cinematic Rebels episodes yet, “Zero Hour” (Rebels S3, Ep. 21–22) brings all the elements of Season 3 crashing together. In our recap, we tally up the wins and losses for the Rebellion and the Empire, wonder what people across the galaxy think about it, and talk about the Bendu’s fate. We also pick our favorite Season 3 moments.
Between the heroic score, sweeping visuals, deep family love, and epic sacrifice, these episodes brought us both to tears. And there’s more coming! Sabine still has a debt to rep...

“That Would Be Me” gives us sneak peeks into what life is like for regular people on Ferrix. We see booty calls, money problems, crappy work schedules, and messy houses. It’s a big vibe shift and a perfect contrast to the deeply unsettling realization this episode gives us about Kenari—specifically, why there is a group of children Lord of the Flies-ing through the jungle.
