This week we are dipping into our back catalogue once again to revisit Star Wars: Visions Episode 1 - The Duel

Visions is one of the most creative properties in Star Wars and I was thrilled to hear the announcement of a third season coming dropping this October.

So whether you’d like to get reacquainted with the series or are checking it out for the first time, Path of the Jedi is the perfect companion to your Star Wars Visions viewing experience

Here’s a replay of our Andor Episode 12: Rix Road discussion.

With the season right around the corner, I thought you’d like to use our episode by episode discussion of Andor as a companion to your rewatch of Season One.

Or, even if it’s your first watch, our discussions can really add to your viewing experience.

Here’s ep 1 in that series: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1836307/episodes/11401216-andor-ep-1-life-isn-t-binary

I’ve said this a lot the last decade or so but… WHAT A TIME TO BE A STAR WARS FAN!

At this particular moment in time, we have so much to look forward to, least of those things being the 20th Anniversary re-release of Revenge of the Sith, the premier of Andor Season 2, and Star Wars Celebration Tokyo!

We discuss all this and so much more. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!☺️

It’s no secret. There exists a toxicity within the Star Wars fandom (and really, all fandom) that sometimes makes it difficult to participate in that fandom.

It’s great when we can have a shared love and experience in Star Wars, that it can bring us together in excitement and appreciation for the vast mythology within.

But when hate and ugliness invade those spaces, it’s tough to want to even be involved.

So, this episode discusses the roots of that toxicity and in giving a clearer understanding, a hope that we catch ourselves before we engage with and in that toxicity.

Because I took such a long hiatus and because I’ve connected with so many new people since reviving the show, I thought I’d take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself… at least in the context of this podcast.

So if you’re new, welcome and thank you.

If you’re a long-time listener, you’ll hear a familiar story told through a different lens. Four years have passed since I did a “who am I” episode, so my perspectives have definitely evolved since then.

There might be some new angles, new details remembered that I may not have shared before.

At any rate, I want for you to get to know me better and perhaps gain a better understanding of why I do what I do with this show.

It’s nice to meet you☺️

We’ve arrived at the final episode of Ahsoka and what a doozy!

This episode shows us the stark contrast between Ahsoka and Thrawn and their approach to conflict.

While Thrawn’s approach relies completely on strategy and tactic, Ahsoka has begun to lean more into “going with the flow.” She’s learned to let go of the need for control and is allowing herself to once again “trust in the Force.”

Letting go. Leaning in. Surrender and trust. These are all things we can do more of. Combine that with Thrawn’s strategic mind, and you have a winning combination for achieving any goal and facing any challenge.

How does Star Wars inspire you to DREAM?

There are many ways. But beyond dreaming of far off galaxies and grand space adventures, Star Wars can inspire us to dream again HERE on earth, to dream of better tomorrows for ourselves and for the world.

Parts Six and Seven of Ahsoka hold myriad lessons. But the message that stood out to me the most was to stay inspired and always keep dreaming.

What about you?

We’re off to an actual distant galaxy! Our heroes are stepping into uncharted territory in this episode in more ways than one.

How do you handle having to face circumstances and situations you’ve never faced before? How do you handle facing the unknown and uncertain?

We can certainly learn from our heroes in this episode. And that’s what we discuss today.
