This is a very special episode because we're joined by the famous friend of the show KIRBY to chat about his feelings on recent Star Wars media as well as his personal relationship with the franchise. Which of course gives Cole and I plenty of room to talk about those things as well. News is light, but we're all hoping for a big 2024 from Lucasfilm…

We're back for the second week in a row to discuss the finale of season 1 of AHSOKA. Overall? Pretty dang good. But are we left with more questions than answers? Also discussed: From a Certain Point of View: Return of the Jedi! Also very good!Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

Well, I wasn't able to join Cole and Dakota on this episode traipsing around beyond the reaches of our known galaxy, but I'm sure they had a FANTASTIC conversation recapping episodes five and six of AHSOKA. But I guess we can all just listen and find out, can't we?Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

Ahsoka continues, and there are big things happening!! And then some things happening that are maybe supposed to be big, but they didn't feel that big to some of us. But we're all enjoying the show and looking forward to see what happens next! Also... this episode contains a very important lesson about not believing everything you see on the intern…

Ahsoka really does just feel like Rebels part two, and it's all the better for it! We catch up on the three episodes that have come out to date and end up feeling pretty warm and fuzzy about them, against all odds (but not really because of Ahsoka herself. Like at all). Ben is also continuing on the journey to catch up with Canon and has moved on t…

We were at Gen Con two weeks ago! Which was fun, but it kept us away from the podcast. But we're back now to report on the Star Warsy things we did at Gen Con as well as to spend like 45 minutes talking about Ahsoka (both the show and the person).Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

We do some catching up this week: checking in with Cole re: Jedi: Survivor, talking to Dakota about Path of Vengeance a little bit, and of course... the Ahsoka trailer. There's a lot to say about that last one.Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

THE WAIT IS OVER! You've all been waiting with bated breath, right? I'm sure. Anyway. Eva has taken a step back from the pod, but the rest of us are here to (mostly) cover (mostly) everything we've missed! Mando S3,. Visions, THR, and Survivor! It's good to be back, friends. Thanks for sticking with us <3 Oh... and don't forget to check out our Mas…

Hi! We've been gone! And we're not sure exactly when we're going to be back. But we're talking about it!Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

This might be the biggest Star Wars podcast ever recorded. That's probably hyperbole, but I don't even care because it certainly felt that way. We cover not one but TWO episodes of THE MANDALORIAN leading up to the season finale and of course everything that dropped at STAR WARS CELEBRATION. Excitement ensues! This week's Article From the Archives:…

We made it!! Somehow, against all odds, we made it to episode 300. And in typical Skyhoppers fashion, we get up to some nonsense: a Star Wars... draft? There are different categories and we all take turns taking things from those categories and it's FUN. Thank you all so much for sticking with us for all this time <3 Here's to 300 more!! P.S. Liste…

I resent being killed by my cohosts on this episode, but I wasn't there so what was I to expect? Despite my absence, they intrepidly carry on talking about episode 5 of Season 3 of THE MANDALORIAN and the finale of Season 2 of THE BAD BATCH!Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

Eva is not quite caught up with The Bad Batch but we're all on the same page regarding THE MANDALORIAN! Season 3 is definitely off to a different start than seasons 1 or 2, but is that a bad thing? We discuss!Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

Recording OFF-SCHEDULE (which is funny because we recorded on Wednesdays for such a long time that it really just feels like we're back ON schedule) because THE BAD BATCH and THE MANDALORIAN are just that good! Crosshair! What's he up to? Where will he end up? Din Djarin! Did Bo-Katan give the Darksaber back for a reason? Will Grogu continue to do …

My god, there is too much happening! But that's actually a good thing. I was hoping that The Bad Batch episode might have been a little more forgettable this week so that we could spend more time with THE MANDALORIAN SEASON 3 premiere, but alas, that was not to be. So we get to talk about TWO awesome episodes of Star Wars TV this week! How incredib…

Eva is back! Again! We're hoping our new recording schedule means that they will be back on a regular basis from now on. But they bring some interesting thoughts about TBB S2, so we're happy they came home.Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

Dakota and Ben sit down with the intention of talking about Episode 9 of Season 2 of The Bad Batch, and while they get there eventually, they take a lengthy detour through The High Republic land and catch up with some discussion about Convergence by Zoraida Cordova and "new adult" novels! The plan to rescue Han Solo episode…

OKAY. SO. We've had a pretty rough release schedule recently, but we've just made a deal that will keep us on a more regular and sustainable recording schedule (hopefully) forever. And we picked a good week to come back on because THE BAD BATCH is so freaking killer and none of us could wait to talk about it.…

This is 1) late and 2) not even really an episode of Skyhoppers. But despite our rough release schedule (which is hopefully being addressed going forward), Cole and I were still able to get together and record Obroa-skai Walkers. And since the first half of that show tends to be about The Bad Batch, we decided to kill two mynocks with one stone. An…

Ben and Dakota are joined by Austin from THE OSSUS PROJECT to talk about THE BAD BATCH season 2 episode 3: THE SOLITARY CLONE. Best episode of the series so far maybe? Probably.Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

They're back! Kind of! From The Ossus Project archives, this episode that was recorded many moons ago finally makes its appearance! Austin and Luke sit down to cover the comic adaptation of Han Solo At Stars' End and Knights of the Old Republic issues #0-#6.Di The Ossus Project

Eva makes their triumphant return to lead us in a mini discussion of the Episode I Adventures comic from 1999 before we vault into our dissection of the first two episodes of the second season of THE BAD BATCH. We're checking back in with our friends like Hunta and Tik and of COURSE Amiga.Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

The Ossus Project lives! Albeit in a slightly different form. Listen in and learn more about what Austin has in store for 2023!Di The Ossus Project

Ben, Cole, and Dakota are here to present the last Skyhoppers episode of 2022! After tackling a wee bit of news re: The Bad Batch and Jedi: Survivor, we dig into our favorite Star Wars things from the last year and make fun of Cole for being behind on reading.Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

ANDOR??? IS THE BEST STAR WARS TELEVISION SHOW TO DATE????Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

OBVIOUSLY we have to get into the penultimate episode of Andor this week and talk about what might be yet to come, but then we spend a weirdly long time in a good-faith discussion about the (sparse) usefulness of Jar Jar Binks as a dramatic character rather than a comedic one. Also comic shop shame.Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

AGAIN Ben and Cole do their best to sneak in about 40 minutes of Andor talk before Eva makes their appearance, and boy howdy is there a lot to talk about. Then the discussion towards Jedi Survivor which leads to a larger discussion about some Star Wars vidya. A typical Sunday morning in Skyhopper Land!…

If this episode sounds a little different, it's because it is! I had to use the stream audio for this one due to some tech issues. What else is new? Anyway. We get into some spoiler talk before our resident Andor-and-TotJ-behinder Eva shows up, at which point we start discussing some of our favorite Canon things in honor of the tenth anniversary of…

This is an... unorthodox episode of Skyhoppers. In that it isn't meant to be an episode at all. This is actually the first half of an Obroa-skai Walkers episode where Cole and Ben talk EXTENSIVELY about Episode 7 of Andor. So it's basically a Skyhoppers episode. Enjoy!Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

EVA LIVES. But they've moved literally across the country so they have been missing out on Andor, which is incredibly unfortunate as we all know. So we try to discuss that in as spoiler-free of a manner as possible and then spend a surprising amount of time talking about Lego Star Wars. Chalk it up to us recording on Sunday mornings now, I guess.…

Hooboy. Andor is really REALLY something, huh? It doesn't take up the entirety of the discussion this evening, but it gets a vast majority of our airtime. But it's just me and Cole, so obviously Obroa-skai Walkers leaks just a little bit.Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

We recorded on a Sunday night to bring you our complete thoughts on the first three episodes of ANDOR. Spoiler alert: we all think it's great and can't wait for more. Also: apologies on the audio quality this week. Technical difficulties led us to this point, but I'm just glad the episode still exists! Hopefully you are too.…

I am all alone this evening! We're pushing our recording back this week so that more of us have time to watch the three episodes of ANDOR, but I still felt like talking about Star Wars. So I dug out some of the books from my collection and talked about why I think they're important for half an hour! Maybe that's your thing! Maybe not! Anyway, I tri…

Ben and Cole go all in on the news from D23! And then end up getting stuck almost entirely on the Mando Season 3 trailer. Because who wouldn't?Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

Sure, sure, Andor is the new hotness, but Cassian wouldn't exist if it weren't for ROGUE ONE. And to celebrate the film's limited re-release in IMAX, we revisit it this week! What still works? What doesn't? All of this and more!Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

"At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi... At last we will have our revenge." It's time, listeners! He's back! We're covering the last four episodes of Season 4 of The Clone Wars this week, and Maul makes his triumphant return! Also Ventress does some awesome stuff and Bossk is there.

Ben and Dakota are FINALLY playing a Star Wars RPG, Cole has finished Shadow of the Sith, and Eva is back on Lego Star Wars! And then we spend too much time talking about video games while we're trying to do the outro. It's a mess.Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

A myriad of topics this time! Andor trailer, use of the Volume compared to REAL SETS and PRACTICAL EFFECTS, and Cal Kestis in live action??? It's less likely than you think.Di The Skyhoppers Podcast

Regular listeners! This is the fourth in a series of Patreon-exclusive episodes that I record with Austin of The Ossus Project where we take deep dives into various aspects of the Star Wars -verses, both uni- and meta-. Have this one on the house, and consider subbing at our Patreon for as little as $1 a month to get all future episodes as well as …

The Clone Wars is back! This week we're all about the Obi-Wan undercover arc with all of our scummy friends, up to and (maybe) including Moralo Eval. Additionally, Eva takes us on a wild ride regarding Splinter of the Mind's Eye. You won't wanna miss it.

I guess this is part two from our books episode that we released last time?? Dakota is back, so we catch up on Brotherhood a little bit as well as Rogue Squadron. After some (spoiler-free) gushing about Shadow of the Sith and Matthew Stover, we have a great chat regarding the place of novels in the ever-growing Star Wars universe. For not having a …

Sowwy. No new episode dis week ;_; Life is hard! So have an old episode! I picked this one because I recently had a discussion with a friend about how TPM is clearly the best Prequel film. I will not be taking criticism at this time. Original description: Guess what? July is still Prequel Month here at the Skyhoppers Podcast! And we're doing someth…

Eva is back! They join the show to give a few thoughts on the Kenobi finale before sending us into a discussion on the recent happenings in the world of Star Wars books! It's been far too long since we've checked in on that front. The Skyhoppers Website! The Skyhoppers Podcast on Patreon The Skyhoppers Podcast on YouTube Cole's Twitter Ben and Cole…

The Kenobi finale obviously takes center stage here, but we catch up on the bit of comics news we missed, the impact of leaks on our enjoyment, and there's no way we were gonna get out of here without talking at least a LITTLE about "Corran" (Horn). The OSW episode with thoughts about Chapter V The Skyhoppers Website! The Skyhoppers Podcast on Patr…

I am alone this week! It's a very weird feeling. But I also can't believe that I haven't done this yet because you all know how much I love the sound of my own voice. But anyway, this is a little recap of my trip to Anaheim, Disneyland, and Celebration and my thoughts on all of the news we got. There was so much!!! The Skyhoppers Website! The Skyho…

Some light Brotherhood talk leads into some mild Ronin talk (Dakota has read it too now) which leads into the meat of this week's episode: the Vanity Fair articles! Star Wars is alive and well and we love to hear it! The Skyhoppers Website! The Skyhoppers Podcast on Patreon The Skyhoppers Podcast on YouTube Ben's Twitter Cole's Twitter Ben and Cole…

We still find ourselves in that pre-Celebration lull, so we just kind of have at it again this week! Ben talks about his Star Wars collection database, we round up some rumors, and speculate a bit more on Kenobi and lament the lack of a narrative middle ground for the series. You'll understand what we mean when we get there. The Skyhoppers Website!…

Who needs a topic for a Star Wars Day episode? Not us! Despite not having one when we sat down, we found quite a few. In this episode: Attack of the Clones! Kenobi trailer! Star Wars Galaxies! Disney Gallery: The Book of Boba Fett! And Yum Brands cups from 20 year ago! The Skyhoppers Website! The Skyhoppers Podcast on Patreon The Skyhoppers Podcast…

We're back from our little Skyhoppers Spring Break! And we come bearing CLONE WARS. Season 4 really hasn't let us down outside of that first arc, which makes me wonder how long that streak can continue. Hopefully at least until the Droid arc in Season 5. Prepare yourself for the most graphic violence that The Clone Wars has to offer! The Skyhoppers…

Sheryl Crow said "every day is a winding road." and this episode is no exception. We talk about Celebration, The Last Jedi, Lego Star Wars, and... nostalgia? I don't know man. We always talk about Star Wars. We don't always promise that it will be relevant. The Skyhoppers Website! The Skyhoppers Podcast on Patreon The Skyhoppers Podcast on YouTube …
