Beckah is lonely without Kels. To cope with the fact that she isn't going to Celebration, a solo episode! Join her (brain fog and all) as she discusses her thoughts on S3 Episode 5 of The Mandalorian (The Pirate), The Armorer x Bo-Katan, and The Bad Batch Season 2. She reveals a shocking discovery about Dr. Hemlock. You also get to see how she is coping with the Bad Batch finale. Bad Batch and Mando spoilers ahead!

Your favorite chaotic lesbians are back with a Mando-centric episode! This one is dedicated to Bo-Katan and Elia Kane enjoyers. Unfortunately, that does not stop us from going on tangents about Ochi and Thrawn bullying Vader, The Little Mermaid, and Jedi Fallen Order. Beckah also makes a discovery thanks to Kels and their Wookiepedia brain. Shoutout to Lia for sending us questions for this episode! Mando season 3 spoilers ahead! DISCLAIMER FROM BECKAH: I made comments about The Children of the Watch and cults (at least i think i did in this episode) and I wanted to say my mind has since changed thanks to my mutuals sharing their opinions/takes. I think it is important to admit when you are wrong, and I was wrong! Special shoutout to Vee for creating our podcast art!

We are back with a solo episode from Beckah! Yay, the long hiatus has come to an end. In this episode she discusses #UnWhitewashTBB, Books (Brotherhood, Dark Disciple, and Padawan), Parallels between Rey and Jyn Erso, and even how Star Wars characters relate to My Hero Academia characters!

Happy disability pride month! We asked people in the disabled Star Wars community if anyone wanted to join us for a conversation about disability in Star Wars. Thank you to the individuals that reached out to us! We are grateful to have such a wonderful conversation about representation and hopefully spread awareness. These conversations are important to have and we hope they will continue to happen within the Star Wars community and beyond! Special shoutout to Vee for creating our podcast art!

Happy pride month! We asked people who wanted to share their gay Star Wars thoughts with us to make this special episode for you. We hope you enjoy hearing thoughts other than me and Kels on all things LGBTQ+ Star Wars! Remember, being LGBTQ+ is valid. Having discussions like this is important because we can all learn from each other.  Special shoutout to Vee for creating our podcast art!

Kels does their first solo episode! Topics include: rambling about High Republic, stanning Avar Kriss and the Firebrands, being unable to talk about the Kenobi series in full sentences, and Star Wars being a jolly, good time with a side of depression.
