S2 E15: Leave it to Grievous

(SPOILERS!!!) This week's set of three episodes were extremely heavy, beautiful, tragic, and so well done, we were once again left in awe of this series. That being said, we do have some questions regarding a few of the writing choices that were made, despite how well delivered it was. You'll hear throughout this recap just how much emotion we felt as these episodes really drove home the harsh reality of the Empire's brutality, delivered it through beautiful filming, and wrapped it all up with one of the show's most poignantly written speeches (a perfect compliment to Luthen's speech in Season 1) which left us in tears. There's a LOT to take in, and a lot to process, and even though we question some of the incongruent moments, we both agree this show has delivered some of the best Star Wars moments on television to date. What awaits us with the final three episodes next week? How will they wrap this up and deliver us directly into "Rogue One"? Meet us back here and we'll experience it together.

Episodes 4-6 in Andor season 2 were very, very pretty 😉 Join us in an in-depth recap where Lauren spazzes our over Cassian going under cover as Varian Skye and LeeAnn cracks up about Syril calling corporate to complain about the ISB. We have a great time digging into the cracks starting to show in Luthen, Cassian and Bix's romantic but strained relationship, Saw's gasoline huffing, and Vel's heartbreakingly powerful monologue.

(Spoilers in this episode!) The masterpiece is back! Season 2 of "Andor" premiered with three big episodes, setting up the rest of the series and eventually leading us directly into the greatness that is "Rogue One." And WHAT a beginning this was! Our excitement is palpable throughout this episode as we deep dive into the nuances that make this show so. damn. AMAZING. In fact, we dive so deeply, we managed over 1.5 HOURS for this installment of MTK alone. Strap in, folks - "Andor" is back, WE are back to weekly recap (through the end of the series), and we're going all in with every installment of this show until it finishes. Enjoy the extra long episode, because there's more to come!

"You're a bold one!" An episode all about our beloved General Grievous!! We just couldn't resist talking about the cranky, snarky Separatist leader. But we have to confess, we learned some things along the way... like why Grievous hates the Jedi and what parts of him are still organic.Support us on Patreon for as little as $3/month: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/MostThingsKenobi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠most_things_kenobi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mostthingskenobi.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MostThingsKenobi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠most_things_kenobi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tumblr: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MostThingsKenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi is known across the galaxy by many titles, but none more renowned or unique as "The Negotiator". The way he was able to first observe and think through a situation and then manage that situation with his word was a characteristic he undoubtedly excelled at. We dive into examples from across Star Wars media that contributed to him earning this title, but we also ask the question: were times where his skill for negotiating and being diplomatic was *not* successful? Join us as we observe the observer, and negotiate our own way through our opinions on Obi-Wan's well-earned title.

The ships of Star Wars could easily be some of the most famous icons in the franchise. The first scene ever in "A New Hope" is the Star Destroyer. Then there are the other iconic ships we know and love: the X-Wing, the TIE Fighter, the various Star Fighters, the Millennium Falcon, the Ghost...do we even need to continue? The SHIPS are the stars of Star Wars, and this week we honor just a few of the hundreds that have made their place in our hearts. We plan to do more of these types of episodes in the future, so be sure to answer our question towards the end of the episode!

The New Hollywood era (also known as Hollywood Renaissance, American New Wave, or New American Cinema) was a period in film history from the mid 1960s to the early 1980s . Famous directors like Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg, and George Lucas were founding fathers of the movement, changing the face of cinema forever. Star Wars came out in 1977, and in this episode we discuss how the epic space opera full of lightsabers and magic (aka the Force) did and didn't fit into this gritty era in cinema history.

With the final two episodes of "Skeleton Crew" airing and marking the end of the latest Star Wars television series, we give our final review of "Skeleton Crew" episodes 7 and 8. We were both pleasantly surprised but left wondering (and wanting more) by the time the final episode finished. We give our thoughts, discuss our theories, and ask several questions - many of which the show never answered. We want more! Also, BONUS SECTION: We asked and you answered! What is Obi-Wan's favorite pie? James Arnold Taylor weighs in, as do dozens of our listeners, in a fun and extended portion near the end of this episode.
