    Ep 149: Little Oddball Truth Bomber

    In Episode 149, hosts Alyce and Laura toast* to the comedic genius of Catherine O’Hara, Nightsisters inventing semaglutides, and daiquiri shacks (shaquiris? Is that anything?) We start by discussing the atrocities taking place in Minneapolis and the U.S. at large, and how our respective areas of the country are reacting. Just in case you have any doubts of where we stand, we supported the January 30 general strike and we’re really f---ing pissed and sad about what’s happening in Minneapolis.Laura shares an update on her other Star Wars show, The Jedi Way.The Caravan of Corrections do be caravaningThe torch has been passed! Kathleen Kennedy steps down from Lucasfilm and it is going to take 2 people to replace her, so yes, haters tell us more about how awful she is at her job *eye roll* (check out Deadline’s exit interview with KK here)Speaking of retirement, we have FIRE plans. Long story short, Laura will open a Shaquiri and record weird noises from a beach, and Alyce will be at Chipotle.Formerly Darth. Now just Maul. Well, actually it’s Maul: Shadow Lord now. He’s many things - an aMAULgamation, if you will. Anyway, there’s an article and poster and trailer, oh my! Alyce forgot about the Dave Filoni Star Wars Avengers/Heir to the Empire film lol. But there’s a new rumor that’s probably nothing, so whateverLEGO is putting microchips in bricks now. Or maybe they’ve been doing that for a while? Don’t know, but they’re doing it with Star Wars now. CAPITALISM! (via StarWarsNewsNet)We’re really out of the loop on whatever Galaxy of Heroes is, but if you know what those words mean, there’s an Andor update coming.If you can get your crotch goblins to sit still for a second, maybe they can meditate with Grogu  Recap on Tap: Ahsoka Again continues! Join us for a recap and discussion of Part 6: Far, Far Away, in which we galaxy-hop only to see a bunch of the same people from the last galaxy! Night Witches on Peridea: did they originate there or was that a bachelorette party gone wrong? Laura’s toasting to toasting in her Toast To.

We’ve reached Part 4: Fallen Jedi, and things are really picking up! And by “picking up” of course we’re referring to that scene where Baylan picks up Ahsoka and throws her off a cliff. You know that song from Dirty Dancing, She’s Like the Wind? That’s how we think of Marrok in Ahsoka. Except he’s more like a fart than the wind. Someone should re-work that song for Marrok and call it He’s Like a Fart.Twitter: @forcetoastpod | @sLeiaAllDay | @ShutUp_Laura Instagram: @forcetoastpod Bluesky: forcetoastpod.bsky.social Email: forcetoastpod@gmail.com Website: forcetoastpod.com *This podcast contains a sh!t ton of profanity and boozin.

    Ep 143: No Hunkie Junkies

    In Episode 143, hosts Alyce and Laura dig* deep to find Star Wars and Star Wars-adjacent news to discuss… outside of the Mando trailer, clearly we gotta get into that.

A brief overview of the Dug species. Because why not?Alyce learns what a meta quest is! Laura misses The Void VR experience!
