  1. Episode LXXXV - Omega's Baptism

    Episode LXXXV - Omega's Baptism

    The Bad Batch season one is in the books and I give my reactions (plural) to the two-part finale. Like the season as a whole, I struggled with connecting these new characters to the wider Star Wars story. But with that concern out of the way, I was able on rewatch to focus on and appreciate the characters themselves. With her "home" of Tapioca City destroyed, Omega's courageous journey of compassion and charity is just opening up. In lieu of the Pull List, I express my utter glee at today's breaking news about Charles Soule's new Crimson Reign comic run, as well as my excitement from yesterday's gripping Star Wars: Visions trailer. I highly recommend you watch the Japanese version with English subtitles. Thanks for listening, and MTFBWY! Twitter       @FCSA99 Instagram  @FCSA1999 Facebook  (go here)

  2. Episode LXXXIV - The TVA and Loki's True Self

    Episode LXXXIV - The TVA and Loki's True Self

    Jonathan Majors' "Kang who Remains" may be eating the apple, but the institutions we all live under have their limits and try to exceed them. Kang's reasons for creating the TVA got me thinking of the Social Contract Tradition and its supposed "state of nature"-how it relates to and contrasts with the Scriptural narrative of Creation, Fall and Redemption on a Personal-Is-Political scale. For the Pull List I discuss the non-linear storytelling of War of the Bounty Hunters and what it might be setting up. Thanks for listening, and MTFBWY. New Social Media accounts!

    Summer Shorts #3 - High Republic SDCC reveals

    Back in Ontario but still at a lake, I'm joined by some friends for a fully-vaccinated and fully-clothed look at the High Republic and its third wave announced at SDCC@home. Lending their voices and perspectives are Din of F-105, Dominic of the Star Wars Underworld and Patrick of Beskar Guitar, as well as the wonderful bustle of Kew Beach in Toronto. Check out the SDCC@home panel here. Dom also hosted us on Pod Force 99 for a great conversation on the latest Bad Batch episode, which you can listen to here. Thanks for listening, and MTFBWY.

  4. Episode LXXXIII - Masters in a Rising Storm (Commentary #2)

    Episode LXXXIII - Masters in a Rising Storm (Commentary #2)

    My commentary on Cavan Scott's The Rising Storm continues with a trio of character reflections on senior Jedi in the novel. Longtime friends Elzar Mann and Stellan Gios seem to be on converging paths in their relationship to the Order. Loden Greatstorm was teased as a major character in the early part of High Republic, but his journey has gone in a different direction. Also I bring back the pull list with Doctor Aphra #12 and War of the Bounty Hunters #2, which shows the same events from different points of view! Thanks for listening. For Light and Life!

    Episode LXXXII - Grand Visions, Grand Armies (The Rising Storm Commentary #1)

    FCSA is back to its High Republic ways with a look at Cavan Scott's The Rising Storm. I contrast the Valo attack with the Hetzal Disaster, and then go into this book's take on a standing army for the whole galaxy. I begin with some brief, non-spoilery thoughts on this morning's Bad Batch episode. Thanks for listening. For Light and Life!

    Sasky Summer Shorts #2 - The Bad Batch Episode 8, "Reunion"

    The rust of Bracca, and Crosshair's breathing apparatus. Unlike Omega, my own view was quite nice. Twitter         @neug485 Instagram     @mneug1138 Church blog  luminous-beings.com

    Sasky Summer Shorts #1 - Loki Episode 2, "The Variant"

    I'm taking this outside! Where you can hear the grandeur of wind and birds, alongside my thoughts on Mobius' eschatology and the show's potential reflection on global warming. I mention Thomas Aquinas again. Thanks for listening, and MTFBWY Twitter         @neug485 Instagram     @mneug1138 Church blog  luminous-beings.com
