Caitlin and Charlotte are excited to discuss all the bonus features on the Blu-Ray release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. To begin, they give a review of how these bonus features stack up against previous Star Wars films. In part one, they discuss the feature-length documentary “The Director and the Jedi,” and the respect they have for Rian Johnson, as well as the controversy surrounding Mark Hamill. In part two, they discuss the deleted scenes. In part three, they talk about extrapolated quotes from Rian Johnson’s audio commentary of the film. Finally, Charlotte gives a brief review of the Music-Only version of the film.

The Star Wars: The Last Jedi novelization, written by Jason Fry, is finally here! In this packed episode, we talk general perceptions, fun Easter Eggs, and favorite new-information. We get deep with the character section, and swap quotes and discuss what we’ve learned about each main character. Finally, we participate in “Lectio Devino” and swap chosen-quotes and describe how these passages make us feel, what they remind us of, and more. All this and much more discussion on this week’s episode!

The finale of Star Wars: Rebels is here and we’re here to talk about it. Spoilers ahead! First, Caitlin gives her 30 second recap on this epic finale. Then, they each give 2 highs and 1 low about the episodes overall. Next, they discuss the story elements of Rebels: what is the state of the Rebellion? How did we feel about the ending? Could we have predicted it would come to this point? What makes a story especially “Filoni” and how do we feel about that? In the character section, we go through each character. We answer a listener email addressing some concerns about women representation in the finale — and we give our thanks to the creators of the show, as well as the fans.

Thanks so everyone who has listened to this mini-series this season! You are all awesome.

This episode is all about fan-created media and how it enriches our Star Wars fandom experience. There is no community like the Star Wars community, especially when fans are creating awesome content every day to support their passions. Caitlin and Charlotte are joined by Amy Richau (@amyrichau), writer for StarWars.com and creator of  #365StarWarsWomen, a project chronicling a different woman involved in Star Wars a day. They talk with her about fandom, women in Star Wars, and get to know her story.
Next, they’re joined by Danny Pirtle (@DannyPirtle19), creator of a website called Porgology that hosts articles, think pieces, and catalogs the different alien creatures that appear across the Star Wars canon. Danny then asked Caitlin and Charlotte to create a “Star Wars dinner” with only aliens and creatures.
Finally, Caitlin and Charlotte discuss two aspects of their fandom: fanfiction and fan-created videos. What’s up with the stigma behind fanfiction? What are our favorites and what do we look for in a “good” fanfiction? Why do we love fanvids so much and what is their origin? All this and more on this episode of Skytalkers!
