Tales of the Jedi Bonus Review
The creation and execution of Podcast: A Star Wars Story is one that takes a lot of manpower, effort, and energy and it's because of this our release cadence is what some might call... absurdly slow. But fret not! Van and Brian have decided a good way to fill the requirements of their hungry audience is to release less 'intense' bonus shows between actual episodesTheir first attempt comes thanks to the new Disney+ anthology series Tales of the Jedi! The guys watched all 6 episodes and chat about what they do to advance certain character arcs, notably Count Dooku and Ahsoka Tano. They talk animation, voice actors versus the live actors, and of course debut their new segment- The Cutting Edge: What's Joel Edgerton Up To?Thanks again for being fans of the show and we promise to have the new episode out soon with all the skits, jokes, and dumb stuff you know and love

Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace Part Two
Podracing may forever be seared into the back of our minds, but it’s no longer being splashed directly into our eyes as Van and Brian pick the story back up directly after Anakin Skywalker wins the Boonta Eve Classic! Having been freed from slavery the young boy is destined to go to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant alongside sage Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and a whole host of other weirdos, but a dark figure nearly kills them before their trip even gets started...Buckle your ass up for more trade disputes than you can handle, an election campaign with far-reaching consequences, and maybe a little sword fighting. But mostly trade disputes. Drink it all in as the boys finish up The Phantom Menace all while discussing Sebulba every chance they get!
Van Lee and Brian Vaughan are lifelong friends and Star Wars fans who have navigated the expansive franchise in different ways. Van loves to commit every meaningless detail of the galaxy to memory, while Brian just likes it when C3PO complains and gets on everyone's nerves. Their two perspectives intact, Van and Brian run the entire Star Wars series in chronological order, cracking jokes about George Lucas and unearthing little-known trivia along the way. It's like spending time with your best buds, but in space!
