  • Star Wars Trooper Tier Rankings, Clone Wars Misconceptions & 28 Years Later Review
    Jun 26 2025
    This week’s episode takes a nostalgic trip through Star Wars history—and some hilarious misconceptions. We opened with Ask Us Anything, where a fan asked what we originally thought “the Clone Wars” were back when we first heard Obi-Wan mention them in A New Hope. Let’s just say… our imaginations went in some wild directions before the Prequels set the record straight. Next up: a spoiler-free review of 28 Years Later. Is it a worthy follow-up to 28 Days and 28 Weeks Later, or did the franchise stumble? We break it all down. Then it was time for the main event: our Tier List ranking of 40 Star Wars trooper variants from the Prequel and Original Trilogy eras. Clone troopers, stormtroopers, scout troopers, and everything in between—we debated them all, from S-tier elite to “how did they even make it through training?” We wrapped up with Question of the Week responses from the community and spotlighted five incredible Star Wars fan artists whose work deserves your attention. Whether you’re a trooper trivia master or just here for the chaos, this episode’s got something for you. Dive in, rank with us, and let the trooper wars begin. https://youtube.com/live/lPEFveTpaeQ?feature=share Vertical format for Mobile https://youtube.com/live/Wycai3JRzQs?feature=share Audio Only Version Show Topics: https://starwarstime.net/top-5-star-wars-artists-of-the-week-6-17-6-23-25/ Don't forget to tune into the Star Wars Time Show on a weekly basis via our podcast platforms or via YouTube if you prefer the livestream angle.

Then we took a sharp turn into movie talk with quick-fire reviews of Ballerina (yep, the John Wick spinoff), the wild Dangerous Animals movie, and the latest buzz surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2. Games, movies, and mayhem—check, check, check. But the real heart of this episode? Our Star Wars Starship Tier List.

  • Andor Season 2 in Review + Fan Questions, Rants, Pee-Wee Love, and a Massive Tech Debacle
    Jun 5 2025
    We’re back from our two-week break—and wow, this episode had it all. Matt kicked things off with a heartfelt (and slightly chaotic) apology for his now-legendary Discord rant. Then it was time to dive into Ask Us Anything fan questions, ranging from thoughtful to… well, totally unhinged (and we loved every second of it). Things got real when we tried to interview Devin Doty about his stage appearance at a major Andor press event—but of course, tech gremlins struck and the whole thing spiraled into glorious Star Wars podcasting madness. We even managed to sneak in a sidebar on the Pee-wee Herman documentary on HBO Max (yes, seriously), before finally landing on our big topic: reflecting on Andor Season 2. We debated where it ranks among the live-action Star Wars shows and how it holds up against the films. Did Andor just become the gold standard for Star Wars storytelling? We’ve got takes. If you’re into Star Wars, wild tangents, and behind-the-scenes tech disasters, this one’s for you.

  • Andor Season 2’s Perfect Ending, New Death Star Lore, and the More Informed Road to Rogue One
    May 15 2025
    In this episode, we go full throttle into Andor Season 2’s stunning finale arc — Episodes 10–12 — and we’re calling it now: this might be the most perfectly executed ending in all of Star Wars TV. We break down how this arc not only delivered emotional payoff, intense action, and sharp dialogue, but also added incredible new lore about the Death Star, the Rebel Alliance, and Cassian’s final transformation before Rogue One. From the reveal of how the Rebels first learned about the Empire’s superweapon to K-2SO’s explosive return and the final push toward the Yavin 4 era, these episodes are packed with galaxy-shifting moments. We also explore how characters like Luthen, Kleya, Mon Mothma, Dedra, and Bix were all given satisfying conclusions (or brutal consequences), tying off nearly every thread this show set up since Season 1. And yes — we talk about that heartbreaking but hopeful final scene with Bix. If you’re a fan of tight storytelling, rich worldbuilding, and a flawless setup for Rogue One and A New Hope, this is the podcast for you.
