The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CCCII: How I Spent My Skyhoppers Summer VacationTHE WAIT IS OVER! You’ve all been waiting with bated breath, right? I’m sure. Anyway. Eva has taken a step back from the pod, but the rest of us are here to (mostly) cover (mostly) everything we’ve missed! Mando S3,. Visions, THR, and Survivor! It’s good to be back, friends. Thanks for sticking with us 2023-07-071h 20

The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CCC: The DregsWe made it!! Somehow, against all odds, we made it to episode 300. And in typical Skyhoppers fashion, we get up to some nonsense: a Star Wars… draft? There are different categories and we all take turns taking things from those categories and it’s FUN. Thank you all so much for sticking with us for all this time 2023-04-112h 06
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CCXCIV: Skyhoppers I Guess?Dakota and Ben sit down with the intention of talking about Episode 9 of Season 2 of The Bad Batch, and while they get there eventually, they take a lengthy detour through The High Republic land and catch up with some discussion about Convergence by Zoraida Cordova and “new adult” novels!2023-02-171h 09
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CCXCII: OSW Ooglith-Masquerading as SkyhoppersThis is 1) late and 2) not even really an episode of Skyhoppers. But despite our rough release schedule (which is hopefully being addressed going forward), Cole and I were still able to get together and record Obroa-skai Walkers. And since the first half of that show tends to be about The Bad Batch, we decided to kill two mynocks with one stone. And hey, if you like our specific brand of Star Wars rambling, go check out Obroa-skai Walkers!2023-02-0957 min
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CCLXXXIX: Haun SoloBen, Cole, and Dakota are here to present the last Skyhoppers episode of 2022! After tackling a wee bit of news re: The Bad Batch and Jedi: Survivor, we dig into our favorite Star Wars things from the last year and make fun of Cole for being behind on reading.2022-12-221h 36
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CCLXXXIV: MoonlightingThis is an… unorthodox episode of Skyhoppers. In that it isn’t meant to be an episode at all. This is actually the first half of an Obroa-skai Walkers episode where Cole and Ben talk EXTENSIVELY about Episode 7 of Andor. So it’s basically a Skyhoppers episode. Enjoy!2022-10-261h 09
The Skyhoppers PodcastSkyhoppers Special Release: Ben... Solo?I am all alone this evening! We’re pushing our recording back this week so that more of us have time to watch the three episodes of ANDOR, but I still felt like talking about Star Wars. So I dug out some of the books from my collection and talked about why I think they’re important for half an hour! Maybe that’s your thing! Maybe not! Anyway, I tried my best!2022-09-2337 min

The Skyhoppers PodcastSkyhoppers Saturdays Episode IV: Bill SlavicsekRegular listeners! This is the fourth in a series of Patreon-exclusive episodes that I record with Austin of The Ossus Project where we take deep dives into various aspects of the Star Wars -verses, both uni- and meta-.

The Skyhoppers PodcastSkyhoppers Flashback: Episode CLXXXV: The Phantom Menace: A Star Wars StorySowwy. No new episode dis week ;_; Life is hard! So have an old episode! I picked this one because I recently had a discussion with a friend about how TPM is clearly the best Prequel film. I will not be taking criticism at this time.2022-07-081h 38
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CCLXVI: Zyjerrian SlaversWe’re back from our little Skyhoppers Spring Break! And we come bearing CLONE WARS. Season 4 really hasn’t let us down outside of that first arc, which makes me wonder how long that streak can continue. Hopefully at least until the Droid arc in Season 5. Prepare yourself for the most graphic violence that The Clone Wars has to offer!2022-04-291h 34
The Skyhoppers PodcastThe Skyhoppers Flashback: Episode CLXXXIX: Papos P. PeskinsWell, we couldn’t make it happen this week, folks. Too many forces working against us and too many cohosts unable to pod any casts. But enjoy this episode from back in time until we get back next week!2022-02-181h 33
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CCLVIII: Think It ThroughThis episode of The Book of Boba Fett was… challenging for a few of us. Some interesting (and seemingly out of place) cameos and plotlines threw us for a loop, but after one of our patented Skyhoppers Therapy Sessions, we’re all at peace.2022-02-041h 20
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CCLVI: Truly Don't Know What To Call This One Because It's 10:30 the Night Before the Episode Goes Out and I Have to GetThe title says a lot, listeners. In a rare Ben-less episode of Skyhoppers, Cole, Dakota, and half an Eva discuss the fourth episode of THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT: THE GATHERING STORM! (Editor’s note: I loved this episode and I’m sorry if these buffoons said anything truly abhorrent. But I trust them.)2022-01-211h 26
Obroa-skai Walkers2021: A Year In ReviewAs the title suggests, this isn't a new book or even a proper interlude. We were SUPPOSED to record an episode of Skyhoppers, but when Cole and I get left alone, it basically turns into this show anyway so we just went ahead and did that on purpose. We take a look back at the books we read in 2021 and try to rank them against one another. We also try to rank the rest of the books we've read, but that's a big task. This week's Article From the Archives: R-97 Ben's Twitter ...2021-12-241h 34
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CCLII: Obroa-Skai WalkersSince Eva and Dakota are out this week, Ben and Cole decided to just record Obroa-Skai Walkers and pass it off as a Skyhoppers episode! They go through 2021 and rank each of the books they read this year against the others. But even if you don’t follow that podcast, they spend some time talking about Book of Boba Fett (ONE WEEK) and ranking Legends books too!2021-12-241h 34

The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CCXLV: Underwater DemocracyWe’re coming in hot with the first three episodes of season 4 of The Clone Wars! Many old Skyhoppers inside jokes make their reappearance, but all in all, we weren’t as high on these episodes as we remember. Find out why!2021-10-291h 05
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CCXLIII: Dakota? More Like DaColdOpen75% of the Skyhoppers are here to give you their takes (of varying degrees) not only on the last three episodes of Star Wars Visions, but also the MOUNTAIN of Star Wars book news that came out last week! (Of course, it dropped the day after we recorded. Whatever.)2021-10-151h 20
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CCXXXVII: Grogu's Funeral, But Not In The Way You ThinkThis week, we unleash all of the speculation that we kept under wraps last week! Not just for the Bad Batch, but for everything! Thrawn! Mando! And also The Bad Batch! Additionally, this episode is coming out a day early since five years ago on this day, August 26, 2016, the Skyhoppers Podcast was released into the world. Sorry about that. But thank you for sticking around. 2021-08-261h 26
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CCXXXIII: War!In another life, July was Prequel Month here at the Skyhoppers Podcast. And while we didn’t talk about anything explicitly NOT Prequels this month, we didn’t push it nearly hard enough. But we’re closing the month with the Prequel to (literally) end all Prequels: REVENGE OF THE SITH.2021-07-301h 43
The Skyhoppers PodcastStar Wars: Republic #50, #55-58: Not A Backdoor PilotIn a shocking turn of events, we don’t have a Skyhoppers episode for you this week. But it’s only because we have an entirely NEW podcast for you to listen to!!! Our good friends Luke and Austin have started new comics podcast called THE OSSUS PROJECT that’s going to live here while they get off the ground. This week, they’re covering issues #50 and #55-58 of the Star Wars: Republic comic!! Check it out!!!2021-07-162h 26
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CCXXV: Super Star Wars 64On this holiest of anniversaries (or close to it), we’re talking about the reason we’re all here: STAR WARS EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE. Kind of a retrospective, kind of a meta discussion, but for better or for worse, all Skyhoppers.2021-05-211h 23
Obroa-skai WalkersOSW Interlude #15: Self-Aware HypocritesEverything happens so much all the time. Yessss, technically this a Legends podcast, but you can't have seriously expected us to not talk about everything that came out of the Disney investor call last week. It was just never going to happen that way. But! You know what IS Legends? TRIPLE ZERO by Karen Traviss! Read the short story in the back of the book titled "Omega Squad: Targets," and then the prologue through chapter 2.

Obroa-skai WalkersShadows of the Empire Chapters 38-End: Six-Ounce StakeGuri is freed, Xizor makes an exit that is not nearly as dramatic as one would expect, and diamond-boron missiles! What more could you ask for from the conclusion of Shadows of the Empire? Well, aside from an episode of this podcast that doesn't get interrupted by internet troubles. But we even have that this week! This week's Article From the Archives: Dar'Or Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter The Skyhoppers Podcast Legends Library2020-10-201h 15
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CXCI: Compensation? In MY Han Solo?The Skyhoppers Podcast has done an episode about Solo: A Star Wars Story in the past, but we’re taking another crack at it now that we’ve got some new hosts who have their own opinions! How does the score hold up? What about the aesthetics of the movie as a whole? Also…………… Victory’s Price, Aphra audio, and Lego Star Wars Holiday Special???2020-08-191h 40
Obroa-skai WalkersOSW Interlude #13 - No Pheremones RequiredTake two seconds to think about the title of this interlude, and you'll probably be able to divine that we're reading SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE by Steve Perry this time around! We're also talking about collecting a lot? So that's a fun direction the podcast is going. Topics include big box Star Wars PC games, the West End RPG (yes, again), and the possibility of doing comics in the future! A busy episode, but would you expect anything else from us at this point? Also........................ our final Narsh Watch segment. This week's Article From the...2020-08-181h 42
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CLXXXV: The Phantom Menace: A Star Wars StoryGuess what? July is still Prequel Month here at the Skyhoppers Podcast! And we’re doing something that we’ve never really done before: a deep dive on a specific movie, with the movie in question being The Phantom Menace. Every saga has a beginning, and we’re here to talk it to death.2020-07-101h 38
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CLXXV: DEPLOY THE C'BAOTH!!!Have you ever wondered who has the best butt in Star Wars? Well. We’re here to tell you. More importantly, we talk about our best and worst from many categories in this supersized episode of The Skyhoppers Podcast! Jedi, Sith, starships, and butts, apparently. It’s better than it sounds, I promise.2020-04-241h 48
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CLXXI: Tack On The ClonesAs in typical Skyhoppers fashion, your hosts (all four of them this week) set out to discuss the balance of the Force in a general sense, but get sidetracked on the Mandalorian for a good chunk of time. And as always, the usual nonsense, including a new segment called “Is It Edible?” DO NOT email georgelucas@gmail.com.2020-03-271h 16
The Skyhoppers PodcastEpisode CLXIX: Journey to the Rise of Cole: The Coole Unleashed: Electric Boogaloo: Cole Does Not Forgive: Cole Does Not Forget:Welcome to season 2 of The Skyhoppers Podcast! For real this time! In this episode, we learn about our new cohosts, as well as how Dakota’s mom invented Machete Order, how a certain Full of Sith host ignored Eva at SWCO in 2017, and how Cole is so, so, SO peeved at Dave Filoni all the time. Also, Rogue Podron is hereby cancelled. Don’t really know why, though. #Chewby2020-03-131h 08

Obroa-skai WalkersDark Force Rising - Chapters 18-22The summary of this week's non-book summary discussion could basically be summed up as "we talked about Dave Filoni way more than we should've."

Obroa-skai WalkersDark Force Rising - Chapters 9-13At a base level, we talk about chapters 9-13 of Dark Force Rising. On either side of that discussion, however, it's kinda all over the place. But would you expect anything else from us at this point? Touching on the Sequel Trilogy, reboots, rumors, and then the New Jedi Order after the book discussion. Wild stuff. Chapters 14-17 for next week! This week's Article From the Archives: Laird Gustavu Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter Ben's other podcast The Skyhoppers Podcast2020-02-042h 18
Obroa-skai WalkersDark Force Rising - Chapters 5-8This week, we read chapters 5-8 of Dark Force Rising, spend entirely too much time talking about The Old Republic, and lament the sheer time investment that reading the New Jedi Order will be for this podcast.

Obroa-skai WalkersShatterpoint - Chapters 1-5Fresh off of our accidental hiatus from last week, we're finally ready to jump into chapters 1-5 of Shatterpoint by Matthew Stover!

Obroa-skai WalkersHeir to the Empire - Chapters 28-EndWell, loyal listeners, it's here. The beginning is coming to an end. This week, we tackle the last few chapters of Heir to the Empire and look to the future. Does this book live up to the hype? We certainly think so.

Obroa-skai WalkersHeir to the Empire Chapters 24-27Well. This episode isn't two hours long, but it isn't too far off. Why are we so insistent on playing pretend in this wide and wonderful Star Wars universe? It makes these episodes go much longer than they need too. Anyway, this week, Karrde is still in trouble, and Mara wakes up for once. Chapters 24-27 of Heir to the Empire! For next week, finish the book!

Obroa-skai WalkersHeir to the Empire - Chapters 19-23This one is another doozy of an episode. But since Celebration happened, you KNOW we had to talk about that some. There was just no getting around it. Thankfully, however, we do discuss chapters 19-23 of Heir to the Empire as well. For next week, chapters 24-27!

Obroa-skai WalkersHeir to the Empire - Chapters 13-18Our review of Heir to the Empire chapters 13-18 might be our best balance of content and goofs yet. We've hit the golden ratio and will almost definitely never find it again. This week also features new teen star Joruus C'baoth. Everyone hates him.

Obroa-skai WalkersHeir to the Empire - Chapters 7-12Does the name of Dooku's clone have two Us or three Os? Not important. Heir to the Empire chapters 7-12! Ben is sick and the first random article this week was just too topical to pass up.

Obroa-skai WalkersHeir to the Empire - Chapters 1-6This episode is uhhhhh kind of a doozy. Like REALLY a doozy. We started talking about the Article From the Archives and then fell down multiple rabbit holes and then had to talk about HEIR TO THE EMPIRE CHAPTER 1-6 and almost two hours later we finally called it. BUT. This episode is worth the running time. And who knows? Some of you probably like long episodes.
