The Star Wars Puncast The Laser Blast Film Society

We're back! And talking about STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS once again. 

The gang meets Cad Bane in the first story arc of Season 2 (HOLOCRON HEIST, CARGO OF DOOM, CHILDREN OF THE FORCE). Justin and Mathew remain disturbed over the tragic lives of battle droids, Peter does the worst Michael Caine impersonation of all time.

Peter gives Justin and Mathew a break from Star Wars: The Clone Wars with Volume 1 of Genndy Tartakovsky's Star Wars: Clone Wars, the 2D micro-series that originally filled the gap between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. And wouldn't you know it - the gang loves them! So much so that they're now dreading returning to the original series next week. Peter also surprises everyone by remembering details from Stephen Hopkins' LOST IN SPACE!

With one entire season of Clone Wars finally conquered, the party ain't over, it's only just begun! The Star Wars Punsters watch the Grand Republic take back Ryloth from the Separatists in a thrilling arc (Storm Over Ryloth, Innocents of Ryloth and Liberty of Ryloth) - one that includes an episode that Mathew ended up genuinely enjoying! Meanwhile, Justin dreams of an ideal Jedi and Peter mispronounces numerous Star Wars names and aliens on his road to another truly miserable pun!

The Star Wars puncasters are back (sorry for the delay) with an eerily topical stretch of Clone Wars - one episode involves the death of a decrepit colonial power (TRESPASS), the others are about a deadly virus (BLUE SHADOW VIRUS and MYSTERY OF A THOUSAND MOONS) that is slowly killing a character thanks to the ineptitude of a political representative. There's even a planet with a stay-at-home order in effect! Also discussed: Lady Jar-Jar, Rule 34, and once again... the canonical name for cantina music in Star Wars...

As observed by Peter in the latest puncast, every sci-fi show needs an irish colony episode! Justin and Mathew remain unimpressed with nearly everything, but this two episode arc (JEDI CRASH and DEFENDERS OF THE PEACE) does inspire some Paul McCartney impressions, so let's not call the whole thing off!
