Beneath Twin Suns: A Star Wars Podcast

We have finally arrived at one of the strongest arcs in all of the Clone Wars early seasons, with a new introduction to Mandalore and its culture that will have long lasting impacts on new Star Wars …

We return with a true standalone episode which we were surprised to learn came directly from a George Lucas pitch. Not our favorite, but a fun little reference to Stray Dogs, a 1949 Kurosawa film abo…

We continue our watch-through with a very typical Clone Wars episode with some fun lightsaber fights and exciting battles, followed by half of an episode which discusses the moral quandary with using…

We finally end our five episode "Second Battle of Geonosis" arc with a two-part horror story line, which we find to be one of the most unique stories told in all of Clone Wars. Somehow managing to de…

We continue on, a week delayed, with the middle part of our 5-part Geonosis arc. Standing strong on their own, Landing at Point Rain channels the best parts of Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan…

A surprisingly decent episode that feels like the first real attempt at fleshing out Anakin and Padme's relationship in the Clone Wars, and also serves as a bridge to the Geonosis arc. We were surpri…

The chronological watch through provides us with a big bonus early in the second season, with a Seven Samurai tribute episode immediately followed by a Godzilla/King Kong arc with the Zillo Beast epi…

After an extended break for Bad Batch and The Acolyte we finally return to our chronological watch through of the Clone Wars series. Season 2 starts off with a bang with the introduction of one of ou…

Disney's annual D23 celebration has wrapped up, and we have a handful of "first looks" at the next four upcoming Star Wars projects. Skeleton Crew and Lego's Rebuild the Galaxy got full trailers, and…

On the heels of the conclusion of The Acolyte and just before Disney's slate of D23 news, we thought we'd take a minute to get everyone up to speed on where all of the upcoming Star Wars TV and film …

Now that all eight episodes have been released, we want to take some time to go over what The Acolyte did well, what we enjoyed, and what we thought could have been improved. Let's jump in!

We've finally reached the Season 1 finale, and somehow they managed to pull it off, wrapping up the story and doing it with not a single wasted minute! Episode 8 is a fantastic conclusion to the firs…

Maybe one of our longest individual episodes yet, "Choice" has a ton to talk about and really sparks a lot of good conversation around the best way to consume the flashbacks in service to the story. …

We're back with episode 6 which is, in our opinion, one of the best "middle of an arc" episodes we've gotten in a Star Wars show to this point. Well written, with good character development, the only…

And what a stunning follow-up this episode ended up being! Maybe one of the most jaw-dropping fight scenes we have ever seen in live action Star Wars, and an incredible performance from [spoiler] in …

A return to form for The Acolyte, our only criticism of Episode 4 is that we wish there was a little bit more of it. However, the closing minutes of the episode are some of the best Star Wars we've g…

For the first time, we feel like The Acolyte stumbles a bit. Not because of any canon-breaking issues, which in reality are non-issues blown massively out of proportion, but because of an odd tonal s…

Episode 2 picks up right where Episode 1 left off, making us happy they released them together. With a strong showing from the central cast, some fun introductions to a couple new characters, and som…

Finally here to talk about the first episode of The Acolyte, and we have a lot to discuss! Overall, we really liked this introduction and thing it does a good job of setting up an interesting story i…

Oh boy do we have some thoughts on these episodes. A strong start, and emotional finish, and a confusing bridge between the two. Let's jump in!
