Best of Growing Up Skywalker
Episode 130: Rebels: The Call + Homecoming (Season 2, Ep. 15–16)
Avast, ye scurvy spacelubbers, join us on our Moby Dick-themed Rebels tour! We start—well, we actually started our discussion this week with “Homecoming” (Rebels S2 Ep. 15), but bear with us, because we also recapped “The Call” (Rebels S2, Ep. 14). Our discussion there centered on the confluence of nature, science, technology, and magic, all of which intertwine with Ezra’s growth as a Force user and a true Jedi. And yes, there is WHALE RIDING IN SPACE.
Episode 85: The Bad Batch: “Rescue on Ryloth” and “Infested” (Season 1, Episodes 12–13)
This week, we’re recapping “Rescue on Ryloth” and “Infested,” which is pretty unfair to “Infested,” tbh. (But it does have some thoughts on trust fund babies, which are always appreciated.)
Episode 84: The Bad Batch: “Common Ground” and “Devil’s Deal”
“Common Ground” and “Devil’s Deal” (The Bd Batch Season 1, Episodes 10–11) are mirror images of each other, each giving us a front row seat to the Empire taking over the galaxy. But coups, curfews, military occupation, civilian disarmament, and forcible manipulation of political figures all take a backseat to the real stars of the show: Cham, Eleni, and Hera Syndulla (!!!). Also, Chopper. Also, Omega. Also, Cid. Also, everyone in this show is the best and we love them so. freaking. much.
Episode 18: Ryloth Arc
Life imitates art (or art imitates life??) in the Ryloth Arc (The Clone Wars Season 1, episodes 19–21, “Storm Over Ryloth,” “Innocents of Ryloth,” and “Liberty on Ryloth”), where a war-torn country is ravaged by hostile non-governmental actors. Yikes. On a brighter note, Sam and Anna discuss the Peak Dad-akin energy in this arc, clone snugs, what women really want, and Mace Motherf****** Windu.
Episode 8: Clone Cadets + Supply Lines
And we’re back! (To The Clone Wars TV series, that is.) We introduce the Cry-O-Meter (because reasons), Sam becomes a big-brained antagonist apologist, and then Anna cries…a lot. #JusticeFor99.
