"The Path of Anger" is the second of three episodes featuring Morgan Eslbeth in Tales of the Empire, and it's especially notable for what it reveals about her backstory without directly *telling* us certain elements of her backstory. Today, our 7-takeaway breakdown... Punch it!

Dathomir has always been associated with dark magick. But in "The Path of Fear" from Tales of the Empire, we see sorcery that appears to be drawing from a lighter source. What gives? We'll discuss on our deep-dive episode. Punch it!

While we're waiting for the Acolyte premiere, let's talk about Tales of the Empire! We'll start with "The Path of Fear," the first of the Morgan Elsbeth episodes, which is basically her villain origin story and shows how she survived the Battle of Dathomir. Punch it!

Lucasfilm released two new video clips for The Acolyte yesterday, and at the pace they've been dropping videos, it sure does seem like there's a different kind of promotion strategy happening here. We'll talk about the whys, and the latest whats... Punch it!

A short Acolyte video that seemed too spoilery for prime time has had the relevant part of that assessment added to "Plan," a new spot on the Star Wars YouTube channel. So we'll talk about it after all, as part of an emerging theme of the show: Duality. Punch it!

Today's episode is our monthly installment of 25th anniversary episodes about The Phantom Menace! We're building on the sports-related things we've been talking about in recent episodes, as well as how rare podcacing is in other Star Wars media. Punch it!

"Huttball" is allegedly the galaxy's favorite game - but its first canon appearance is in Star Wars Hunters. And prior to that, it was only in The Old Republic video game! We'll talk about its history, which leads to some thoughts about how canon and legends storytelling *could* co-exist together. Punch it!

It's one thing to consider Star Wars Hunters as an Overwatch/Apex Legends kind of game. It's another to consider the meta-narrative of sports in the Star Wars galaxy, and how Hunters is continuing a thread that started with The Phantom Menace and has accelerated in the Disney era. Punch it!

The little gift Star Wars fans got on the Disney Channel's YouTube channel on May the 4th was a delightfully rewatchable two minutes of animated fun. It's "How NOT to Draw R2-D2," and I'll share a bunch of reasons why it's awesome on today's show. Punch it!

The "May the 12th" Simpsons Star Wars short on Disney+ has its share of moments that will probably make you smile, but it's not a can't-miss thing. And in all honesty, for this being a Mother's Day thing, they do Marge dirty throughout. Punch it!

There's so much more happening in the month of May related to Star Wars storytelling than I fully clocked when we did our first-of-the-month episode! So we're updating now, and (with lots of advance warning) talking about a spoiler-y new Acolyte spot. Punch it!
And as promised on the show, here's the new spot for The Acolyte - watch it at your own spoiler-y risk:

A new commercial spot for The Acolyte hit the Star Wars YouTube channel (on a Saturday?) and shows us more of the fight between Mae and Master Indara. But between this and the trailers we've received so far, are we being subjected to intentional misdirection? Punch it!

People are making a connection between the Sith at the end of the latest Acolyte trailer and a horrific dark-side entity from Legends that's also connected to the Mortis gods. I'm going to try to flag what you need to know, out of nine novels worth of background, in less than 10 minutes... Punch it!

In the prequel trilogy, Yoda and Mace Windu discussed the idea of the Jedi's powers being diminshed. Could it be because the Jedi Temple on Coruscant was built over a Sith Shrine? And Jedi were inside it at least as recently as 100 years before The Acolyte series? Punch it!
