• Interview: Doug Burton and the Heroine's Labyrinth | Star Wars 7x7
    Sep 6 2024

    Yes, we're still on hiatus, but we couldn't wait until November to share this conversation with you. We're psyched to welcome Doug Burton to the podcast to talk about the Heroine's Labyrinth - an alternative to the Hero's Journey. We'll apply it to Leia's story in A New Hope, and about how this story structure applies to other original trilogy and prequel trilogy movies. Punch it!

    In the final episode of our Acolyte rewatch, we'll discuss what Osha brought with her into that helmet; the helmet's potential connection to the Brendok witches (and one in particular); why Sol really wants to talk to the Jedi High Council (it's not to confess!); and much more, including an announcement about season 1 of this podcast. Punch it!

  • THE ACOLYTE Rewatch: Choice (7) | Star Wars 7×7 Episode 3,676
    Jul 27 2024

    The flashback episodes of The Acolyte were titled "Destiny" and "Choice" - and we find out in the latter that Sol made a choice to alter Osha's destiny because of his emotional attachment. We'll talk about that in our rewatch deep dive, plus what Sol wanted to tell me, the source and effects of the vergence, why the Mae mind-wipe will wear off, and much more. Punch it!

  • THE ACOLYTE Rewatch: Teach/Corrupt (6) | Star Wars 7×7 Episode 3,675
    Jul 26 2024

    The Brendok secret has caused double-digit Jedi deaths, and Sol is the only one left to blame. Mae is out of options. Qimir thinks he's found his soulmate but is trying to be chill about it. And someone should have told Osha about the dangers of Sith helmets. It's our doubly-deep rewatch dive into "Teach/Corrupt," episode 6 of The Acolyte. Punch it!

    Jul 25 2024

    Our Acolyte rewatch takes on the action-packed fifth episode, "Night"! We'll discuss how/why Qimir has any pressing reason to see the Brendok Jedi killed; why Mae went from wanting to turn herself in to fighting Jecki so ferociously; the juxtaposition of Mae's "weakness" and Osha's "strength"; Sol and Qimir facing off, and more. Punch it!

    Jul 24 2024

    It's episode 4 of our Acolyte rewatch! We're talking about "Day," and about the linger effects of witch possession, the parallels between Sol and the Stranger, the conflicts within Osha and Mae, and how Osha's stubbornness keeps Yord alive - for a few extra minutes, anyway. Punch it!

  • THE ACOLYTE Rewatch: Destiny (3) | Star Wars 7×7 Episode 3,672
    Jul 23 2024

    It's never too early for an Acolyte Rewatch! Today, we're looking at Episode 3, "Destiny," the first of the flashback episodes. Elements leading to the dark path appear in many ways for Osha. The hypocrisy of this group of Jedi is laid bare. And did Darth Plagueis work with the Brendok witches to create Mae and Osha? Punch it!

  • THE ACOLYTE Rewatch: Two-Episode Premiere | Star Wars 7x7 Episode 3,671
    Jul 22 2024

    Is it too soon for an Acolyte rewatch? Or is now the perfect time, considering that we have all the context from the full season fresh in our minds, and can see the earlier episodes with fresh eyes? That's my thought about it, a!nd so I'm sharing observations about the premiere episodes that we may all have missed or didn't grasp the significance of in our first viewing. Punch it!
