Star Wars: Cantina Chronicles thestarwarsweekly

Episode 39 - May The Fourth Be With You
This week on Cantina Chronicles:
Grant is still fighting his way out of Mount Tantiss, but Adam and Ben rehash an animation spectacular by reviewing the final episode of the Bad batch and the full 6 episode arc of Tales of the Empire!
May The Fourth Be With You! Let’s go!

This week, saddle up to the bar with Adam and Ben while Grant steals his codes to Tantis and we’ll discuss the penultimate episode of The Bad Batch: Flash Strike. And then journey back 250 rotations to Kindosorn where we explore the first five issues of The High Republic Phase III main run comic. Let’s go!

This week, we gather at Sanctuary Mount to celebrate the bicentennial anniversary of our grand opening of the Jedi outpost on Kwen! 
 
This is of course a reference to events that unfold in the latest Star Wars novel, Star Wars: The Living Force by John Jackson Miller; which we review alongside the latest episode of Bad Batch on this week’s episode of Cantina Chronicles! 

This week, we rejoice in Ben’s return to the pod and hear his takes on last week’s topics before diving into new content such as the ‘Star Wars: Outlaws’ story trailer. After discussing our hopes and wishes for the game, we move on to our review of the latest episode of Bad Batch. After debating the nature of midichlorians and the possibility of one of the Batch using the force before the show’s finale, we pass through the stormwall to review ‘Star Wars: The High Republic; Defy The Storm’ by Justina Ireland and Tessa Gratton. If you’re interested in the science/history of hyperspace travel or desire to see a Jedi Master’s privilege come into question, you won’t want to miss this book or our review! 

This week, Adam and Grant hold down the temple while Ben is away on Jedi business. They start things off by sharing their reactions to The Mandalorian and Grogu moving to a 2026 release date and what that could mean. They then dig into the new Tales of the Empire trailer and finally cap off the news portion of the show with their reactions to some exciting information about James Mangold's, Dawn of the Jedi. After covering all the latest stories from around the galaxy, Adam and Grant review episodes 10 and 11 of The Bad Batch and share their thoughts about two devastating episodes.  

 

This week on the Cantina Chronicles, the team enjoy some final beverages on their beachfront estate on Pabu as they breakdown both the Acolyte trailer and recent episodes of Bad Batch before packing their things and going into hiding from The Empire.
