A Complicated Profession

This season of Maul - Shadow Lord concludes, and your Star Wars pals @dmoren@zeppelin.flights, Kat, and @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights are here to discuss who survives, the strengths of animation, and Crimson Dawn’s reporting structure. Plus the conclusions of olive talk, Machiavelli’s The Prince, and our preferred apples. https://www.theincomparable.com/acp/111/

After a longer than expected absence, your Star Wars pals @dmoren@zeppelin.flights, @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights, and Kat return to cover not two but four episodes of Maul - Shadow Lord. We discuss keeping car chases interesting, Inquisitor nomenclature, and the five successful habits of Sith Lords. https://theincomparable.com/acp/110

It’s space cops, Sith Lords, and shockball this week as your Star Wars pals @dmoren@zeppelin.flights, Kat, and @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights discuss the latest pair of Maul - Shadow Lord episodes. Plus, moral quandaries, a call for listener mail, and more than you wanted to know about copyright law. https://www.theincomparable.com/acp/109/

Your Star Wars pals @dmoren@zeppelin.flights, @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights, and Kat are back with a brand new show: Maul - Shadow Lord (not to be confused with other Mauls, accept no substitutes). We discuss the long strange charisma of this Sith Lord/crime boss/suspect mentor, mixing crime tropes with our sci-fi, and a frankly surprising amount about ska. https://www.theincomparable.com/acp/108/

Oh no, we're back to discuss the Maul - Shadow Lord trailer, as well as Dave Filoni's ascension to head of all Lucasfilm creative. Also, we recorded this episode in person! With all of us! In a car! While driving! What could go wrong? https://www.theincomparable.com/acp/107/

Surprise! You thought they could release a trailer for a new Star Wars movie and there wouldn’t be a podcast about it? Think again! Your Star Wars pals @dmoren@zeppelin.flights, @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights, and Kat are back to talk about the teaser for the upcoming feature The Mandalorian and Grogu, including swole Hutts, Babu Friks (Babus Frik?), and whether this can be any good. https://www.theincomparable.com/acp/106/

How much of a fortress can you really hide? Your Star Wars pals @dmoren@zeppelin.flights, Kat, and @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights return to discuss Akira Kurosawa's 1958 epic, The Hidden Fortress, a film which had a significant influence on George Lucas's work. We discuss rich people buying the horse out from under you, the unquestionably most successful Fire Festival, and who exactly the three villains are. https://www.theincomparable.com/acp/105/

In a new annual tradition, we’ve gotten six short episodes of Star Wars animation following two characters. This time it’s Tales of the Underworld. Your Star Wars pals @dmoren@zeppelin.flights, @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights, and Kat return to discuss three pretty good episodes and three not-so-good episodes, including what makes bad guys compelling, uncertain timelines, and de-canonized/re-canonized characters. https://www.theincomparable.com/acp/104/

Rebellions are built on two seasons of a prequel series. Your Star Wars pals @dmoren@zeppelin.flights, Kat, and @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights return to revisit 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story or, as we call, it Andor: The TV Movie. We discuss Krennic’s very bad week, why Cassian’s arc gets a little tricky, and the inevitable Saw Gerrera supercut. https://www.theincomparable.com/acp/103/

This is it: the end of the road. Andor comes to a close, and your Star Wars pals @dmoren@zeppelin.flights, @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights, and Kat are here to cover the final episodes and discuss how we really feel about ziggurats, whether #KatWasRight, and what exactly Star Trek IV is remembered for. https://www.theincomparable.com/acp/102/

Welcome to the Rebellion! Your Star Wars pals @dmoren@zeppelin.flights, Kat, and @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights reconvene to discuss the latest three episodes of Andor, including Syril’s parasocial relationship with Cassian, the changing narrative of the rebels, and women being replaced by droids. Next year in Yavin! https://www.theincomparable.com/acp/101/

It's episode 100 of your favorite Star Wars podcasts, and your pals @dmoren@zeppelin.flights, @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights, and Kat are back to discuss the latest triptych of Andor episodes: revenge as therapy, the tension of talking about art, and the importance of cake. https://www.theincomparable.com/acp/100/

Andor is back and so are your Stars Wars pals @dmoren@zeppelin.flights, Kat Benesh, and @TSindelar@zeppelin.flights! We cover all the important questions about these first three episodes, like: "Should wedding hikes come back in fashion" and "how do you choose between two identical white outfits?" https://www.theincomparable.com/acp/99/
