The Force Dyad Podcast

Welcome to a mini-milestone as this is our 75th episode! To celebrate this occasion, we're thrilled to be joined by our friends from The Hyperspace Heroes Podcast (@BrownSquadron). In this episode, we're diving deep into the season finale of The Acolyte. We'll break down the moments that had us on the edge of our seats and those that left us scratching our heads. Did the cameos live up to the hype? And most importantly, was the ending satisfying? After dissecting the finale, we'll take a step back and look at the series as a whole. We'll share our thoughts on the character arcs, the overarching plot, and the show's impact on the Star Wars universe. And of course, we'll tackle the big question: will there be a Season 2? But that's not all! We're also looking ahead to ICCC Nashville in October, discussing what we're excited about and most looking forward to. We'll wrap up the episode by showcasing some fine additions to our collections, sharing our latest finds and favorite pieces. Sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

We are quickly closing in on the season (series?) finale of The Acolyte as we take a look at Episodes 6 & 7. We open this episode chatting 4th of July fun, and whether the movie theater experience is worth the steep price tag. Turning to The Acolyte we take a look at Episode #6 which brings us some interesting story building with Osha and Qimir, but tries to torpedo that with Mae and Sol's storyline, and then pivot to Episode 7 which delivers a "Sol crushing" reveal (I'll see myself out) We recap and discuss both episodes along with the host of questions that each episode creates. We then take a look ahead to Episode 8 next week and try to figure out just how they plan to wrap the story up. Buckle up and join us as we wade even deeper into the inconsistencies of The Acolyte!

For the Jedi of 'The Acolyte' it has certainly been ...a Hard Days Night! After a brief hiatus we are finally back to talk all things The Acolyte. We start the show by quickly touching on the recent state of the fandom, and the levels to which it has gotten out of hand. We then pivot to our Acolyte discussion with us covering all 5 episodes so far. While not dwelling too much on the first 4 installments we do cover some of the more controversial topics, as well as discuss the characters and the story direction. We then close with coverage of Episode #5 'Night' whereby we get some of the most brutal violence to date in Star Wars. We find out who Smilo-Ren is and the ole twin switcheroo. Listen in as we bring you our thoughts and feeling on the series to date. So sit back and relax, this is where the fun begins!

We are back to cover a trifecta of Bad Batch episodes, taking a look at "The Harbinger", "Identity Crisis", and "Point of No Return".

Tantiss. Couple that with some other Star Wars news, including a huge trailer for "Tales of the Empire" and we've got a great show in store for you!

It's time for some SWAMP JUSTICE!! After a few weeks off we're back to chat episodes 5-8 of The Bad Batch and share some first reactions to the new Acolyte trailer (High Republic BABY!!) After a bit of pre-show banter about TCG addiction and the scam that is car insurance we jump into the main show (00:06:30) where John is currently dealing with a 3-year old bedtime menace and Sean is recovering from a birthday weekend for his 5-year old. For those wanting SW content out the gate we hop in at (00:12:10) with our Acolyte trailer reactions. Seeing The High Republic in live-action brings a smile to our faces and we can't wait!

We pick back up with Omega and Crosshair after a daring escape from Mount Tantiss in Episode #4, "A Different Approach". The quest to reunite with her brothers will require Omega and Crosshair to work together and for them to place their trust in one another. This episode John and Sean are joined by friend of the show BrickinAintEasy (aka Keith, aka TK-31788) and we take a look at the emotional reunion, Omega's lack of sense in chasing after a Lurca hound, and what might be next for the squad. We also take a bit to talk toys as LEGO just released 5 new sets on March 1st, including 3 new midi-scale ships to begin their 'Starship Collection'.

The Batch is back for one final adventure as Season 3 kicks of with a triple-dose of our favorite defective clones! Tune in as the guys take a look at 'Confined', 'Paths Unknown', and 'Shadows of Tantiss' and discuss some of the deeper points of each episode along with the many questions we find ourselves asking: Does this mean Omega is Force Sensitive Who are the subjects in the vault What 'might' will Hemlock use to find Omega (Vader?) What's with Crosshair's tremors Will we see Boba Fett ...and much more Plus, as is tradition we dive into the trove of IMDB feedback and see what some within the greater internet community thought of the first installment.

On the eve of the start of Season 3 of The Bad Batch we are here to throw out our last minute predictions (sure to go wrong). Before that we briefly discuss the news of the moment with The Phantom Menace returning to theaters, news of a new Mandalorian game in development at Respawn, and take a few moments to remember the late Carl Weathers. We then dive headfirst into our predictions taking a look at Ventress, possible cameos, the fate of cloning on Mt. Tantiss, and all culminating in our prognostications for the fate of Clone Force 99.
