Skytalkers discuss and analyze the first two episodes of Leslye Headland’s (“Russian Doll”) Star Wars: “The Acolyte”!

In this episode, Charlotte and Caitlin discuss:

• First impressions of the show and world building — what did we think!
• Breakdowns on new characters Mae/Osha (Amandla Stenberg), Sol (Lee Jung-Jae), Yord (Charlie Barnett), Jecki (Dafne Keen), and Qimir (Manny Jacinto).
• Speculation on the murder mystery story (is it a Whodunit? Or classic mystery?) and character motives in the so far.
• How The Acolyte connects to other Star Wars stories and characters like the High Republic or Ahsoka and her journey in The Clone Wars.

Live from LAX: Leslye Headland (RUSSIAN DOLL, THE ACOLYTE) is on Skytalkers! Caitlin and Charlotte get the chance to join other Star Wars creators for a super informative roundtable interview session with creator and showrunner of The Acolyte herself, Leslye Headland. First, they share the experience in which the interview happened (spoiler alert: it happened in Baggage Claim of LAX airport!). Thank you to Lucasfilm and Disney for this unbelievable opportunity to talk to Leslye about a show we are very excited to cover on the podcast soon. Another thanks to our incredible roundtable participants for their great questions. A note: While there are no explicit spoilers in this interview, Leslye does talk a lot about the story and some details from the first two episodes. Save this episode for later if you’re going totally spoiler free!

Journey back to the 2001 DVD release of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace as we discuss the fan-favorite making of documentary, The Beginning. In part one, Caitlin and Charlotte go through the history of the doc and their own history with it, plus the fandom’s perception of it throughout the years. In part two, they go through their highlights and top moments. In part three, they discuss what they believe to be the thesis of the film. All this and more on this episode of Skytalkers.
