Folks, we did it. After a middling pair of episodes last time and with what looked like a connected pair of stories coming up, we decided to call an audible and increase our episode count to three! So, today, join us on a journey across the gal

After Season 2's strong start, the crew of the Ghost is finally settling into a lower key rhythm, which has both ups and its down. On the plus side this week, we get a loving look at the B-Wing (an all time great Star Wars ship design) and some

81: The Lost Commanders and Relics of the Old Republic (Rebels 18 and 19)

Mar 6th, 2024 1h 49m

We were pretty high on our return to Rebels last episode, and for good reason. This time the mood continues to improve with the return of some familiar faces. Come on in, grab a cold one, and kick your feet up... because the boys... ARE BACK!!!

Feb 21st, 2024 2h 23m

78: Korriban (Knights of the Old Republic 09)

Jan 24th, 2024 2h 33m

After last episode's grand "reveal," we're left with only a few goals remaining: one star map, a handful of side quests, and the grand finale. And hey, next up is Korriban, home of the Sith Academy and many of the events we've recently covered

77: The Leviathan (Knights of the Old Republic 08)

Jan 12th, 2024 2h 7m

FINALLY! After months of careful (if fundamentally futile) spoiler avoidance, we can can finally talk about the Big Twist of KOTOR. What's that? It seems as if our duo of new players had already basically figured it out? Well, hold your tongue,

76: Manaan (Knights of the Old Republic 07)

Dec 13th, 2023 2h 43m

Ah, the blue waves of Manaan, home to the galaxy's only supply of a miracle drug, the most litigious culture in the stars, and a delicately simmering cold war. Time to go knock the whole thing off balance. Next time: THE LEVIATHAN (and any non-

75: Kashyyyk (Knights of the Old Republic 06)

Nov 29th, 2023 2h 51m

From week to week, from planet after planet, one thing has remained true about our journey through the Old Republic: Zaalbar has kept his lips sealed. Sure, he'll make you a grenade. But ask him about what he knows about a place or how he's fee

Nov 15th, 2023 2h 17m

We're back with more KOTOR! And wouldn't you know it, we're also back once again to Tatooine, the planet Star Wars just can't stay away from. What's up with this desert world some 4,000 years before Luke ever farmed a single drop of moisture? W

72: Taris Pt. 3 (Knights of the Old Republic 03)

Oct 11th, 2023 1h 54m

Oh Taris, how we've missed you! Your glittering towers, so cleanly representing the world's heavily stratified racialized class divide. The smell of swoop fuel in the air, the distinctive odor of underworld betrayal. The wildlife! You know, Rak

Sep 20th, 2023 2h 47m

Welp. We did it. We went to space. Thanks to your support, a favor from a friend in Disney's gaming department, and our realization that our rainy day fund had finally found a storm worth being spent on, we flew down to Orlando and took in the

Sep 14th, 2023 1h 51m

Join us as we continue our journey down into the depths of Taris, a city so bad that it hasn't really gotten that much worse under Sith occupation! Sure, there's a rampant plague of not-zombies spreading through the dark fantasy undercity. And

Aug 24th, 2023 1h 48m

An even longer time ago, in a galaxy approximately the same level of far, far away, there was Knights of the Old Republic, a Computer Role-Playing Game based on D&D's D20 system. Natalie and Rob never heard the story of Darth Malak, probably be

Announcement: What's Next for AMCA

Aug 17th, 2023 11m 40s

Hey everyone! As promised, we took some time to discuss and consider what we'll be doing for the next chunk of AMCA during the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. And we've reached a determination. As highly, overwhelmingly requested, we will be

Jul 19th, 2023 2h 24m

Jul 5th, 2023 2h 5m

65: Empire Day and Gathering Forces (Rebels 08 and 09)

Jun 21st, 2023 1h 53m

For the last few months, we've been getting to know the crew of the Ghost. But how much have we learned about them really? Sure, we know that Zeb's people suffered occupation and (apparently) genocide, or that Hera is able to make hard decision

64: Breaking Ranks and Out of Darkness (Rebels 06 and 07)

Jun 7th, 2023 1h 37m

With this pair of episodes, it seems accurate to say we've truly entered Rebels proper. Not because some production technique has finally hit its stride, or because we've reached some grand revelation, or seen a major swing in character develop

63: Droids in Distress, Fighter Flight, and Rise of the Old Masters (Rebels 03 - 05)

May 24th, 2023 2h 10m

62: Shorts and Spark of the Rebellion (Star Wars Rebels 01 & 02)

May 10th, 2023 3h 7m

We did it! We made it through the Clone Wars Legacy materials, past Solo (for some reason), and into the heart of the show that is going to take over our lives for the next year plus—or at least until Andor season 2 starts. Today we kick off St

61: Solo: A Star Wars Story

Apr 26th, 2023 3h 36m

Here we are. Our final diversion before we finally arrive at Rebels. And what a diversion it is. A couple of really good heists. A couple of great performances. Solid props and sets. An incredibly paced, 60 minute film. I'm sorry. Huh? You're t
