Star Wars Rebels Reviewed S2: Ahsoka Confronts Vader, Maul’s Return, Plus Rex, Kanan & Ezra

Our trio of rebels have continued with their review of Star Wars: Rebels with season 2! This is Maff’s first time watching too, so hearing his reactions is very interesting! This episode was originally released in June 2023 on the feed of Comics In Motion. Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/Kk99oyK06ho In more detail, this episode is a sequel to the first season of Rebels and the trio’s first RR episode, so make sure you go back and listen to that if you haven’t already, but in this episode, they discuss how season 2 feels different from season 1, it’s comparisons to Andor and the best & worst parts of the show (including sound design).

They then talk about the various characters including Ahsoka, “Stinky” (Rotta The Hutt), Asajj Ventress, Obi-Wan & Anakin compared to their live-action counterparts, plus the voice-acting and audio editing and they discuss Padmé & Anakin’s relationships. They then discuss clones compared to droids, which film new Star Wars fans should start with and they finish off a small tangent onto not having seen “classic” movies.

Vader Vs The Handmaidens: Sabé & Dormé Question Joining The Empire, Plus Jul Tambor, Skako Minor & More (Darth Vader [2020] #30-32) – Ep 142

VADER CONFRONTS PADMÉ’S HANDMAIDENS BUT WILL THEY JOIN HIM OR REBEL? For ep 142, Mike continues with the 2020 run of Darth Vader comics, with another story surrounding Sabé & Dormé caught in the web of Vader, as they try to save innocents while fighting against Jul Tambor. As Vader’s web entangles the other handmaidens too causing them to ask themselves what they’re willing to sacrifice in order to save lives and if Sabé is truly working for the Dark Lord…

Darth Vader 30-32 were all written by Greg Pak, with colour artist Federico Blee. Luke Ross was artist on issue 30 while Ibraim Roberson was artist on issues 31 & 32. Issue 30 was released January 11th 2023, issue 32 was released March 22nd 2023 and the trade paperback collection was released 27th June 2023.

Is Phantom Menace That Bad? Fixing The Star Wars Prequels & Leading To Clone Wars Conversations With Dave, Maff & Megan

Is Phantom Menace That Bad? Fixing The Star Wars Prequels & Leading To Clone Wars Conversations With Dave, Maff & Megan

This week is a special episode, where Dave, Maff, Megan & Mike go back to 1999 with the first of the controversial Prequel Trilogy; The Phantom Menace! The episode serves as a soft lead into the Clone Wars animated series, which Dave, Maff & Mike will be delving into in 2024 – Maff hasn’t watched the prequel trilogy in many years, while Mike is a staunch defender, so tune in to hear; is Phantom Menace actually any good?

In more detail, the gang discuss their impressions of Phantom Menace from when they first watched them and how they felt about it after the recently rewatch. They highlight certain characters, namely Jar Jar Binks, Darth Maul, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn, the political dialogue, how the movie was different from the original trilogy, things they believe could’ve been improved, elements that they enjoy and whether or not this film still deserves to be maligned even 24 years after release!

Keep an eye out for the upcoming episodes on Attack Of The Clones and the Clone Wars movie, leading to the trio’s upcoming show; Clone Wars Conversations! It’ll debut in 2024 and will be a monthly podcast by Dave, Maff & Mike where they’ll be going through each season of The Clone Wars animated series.

Make sure you check out all 5 episodes of Mike, Maff & Dave’s show; Rebels Reviewed, so listen to their thoughts on seasons 1, 2, 3 & 4 and a bonus prediction/wrap-up episode for Ahsoka, all found on any podcast app and on YouTube: ⁠https://pod.fo/e/1defff⁠ - ⁠https://youtu.be/BrZrvENUlTM⁠

Please note, this was not recorded in Mike's studio, so the quality is slightly worse than normal episodes of SWCIC and was originally released on Mike's Patreon!

Let us know what you think! Have you read these books? How do they compare to the Legends Thrawn novels?

THR P2: Before The Battle Of Jedha, Vildar Mac, Matty & Tey Search For Stolen Artifacts (High Republic [2022] Vol 1: Balance Of The Force #1-5) – Ep 126

AS THE PHASE 2 COMICS COMMENCE, TENSIONS ON JEDHA ARE RISING… For ep 126, Mike delves into the first volume of High Republic comics in the second phase, following Jedi Vildar Mac, padawan Matty, the Sephi Tey Sirrek, Guardians Of The Whills, The Path of The Open Hand and more! Mike explores this Jedha-based story, noting along the way how it connects to the rest of the High Republic while providing information along the way – this serves as a perfect prequel to The Battle Of Jedha audiodrama by George Mann (which Mike tackled on this show a few episodes prior).

This episode was first released on the feed of Comics In Motion, in May 2023.

These comics are in Phase 2, Wave 1 of The High Republic, which is 150 years before Phase 1, making it 350 years before The Phantom Menace (382BBY).

All of these comics were written by Cavan Scott and the colour artist was Frank William. Ario Anindito was the penciller for issues 1-3 with Mark Morales as inker, while Andrea Broccardo was artist for issues 4 & 5 and the Peace & Unity mini-comic.

Other Phase 2 High Republic content Mike has released are book reviews, all in 2023, are; Path Of Deceit on 7th Jan, Quest For Hidden City on February 14th, Convergence on March 18th and The Battle Of Jedha on April 22nd. A review for Cataclysm & the other phase 2 books will follow, as will THR comics, The Blade and other phase 2 content.

In the last episode (125), Mike delved into the second & final volume of the Han Solo & Chewbacca series, where Chewie finds himself in a prison with Maz Kanata and the young Phaedra, while Han recovers from being shot by Greedo. The duo must perform a heist all while avoiding a marshall, bounty hunters, the empire and more – plus Mike gives information on Korin Pers, the Gran & Chagrian species and gives an insight in what’s to come for the upcoming Dark Droids crossover event!

Han Solo & Chewbacca Vol 2: Han’s Missing & Chewbacca’s In Prison With Maz Kanata - A Dark Droids Event Prelude: Ajax Sigma (HS&C Vol 2: Dead Or Alive #6-10) – Ep 125

Han Solo & Chewbacca Vol 2: Han’s Missing & Chewbacca’s In Prison With Maz Kanata - A Dark Droids Event Prelude: Ajax Sigma (HS&C Vol 2: Dead Or Alive #6-10) – Ep 125

HAN & CHEWIE FIND A MYSTERIOUS DROID NEURAL CORE, BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN? For ep 125, Mike delves into the second & final volume of the Han Solo & Chewbacca series, where Chewie finds himself in a prison with Maz Kanata and the young Phaedra, while Han recovers from being shot by Greedo. The duo must perform a heist all while avoiding a marshall, bounty hunters, the empire and more – plus Mike gives information on Korin Pers, the Gran & Chagrian species and gives an insight in what’s to come for the upcoming Dark Droids crossover event!

This episode was first released on the feed of Comics In Motion, in April 2023.

This story is set after the movie Solo but before A New Hope, somewhere 2-8 years before the Battle of Yavin (8-2BBY).

Han Solo & Chewbacca’s second & final arc; Dead Or Alive/The Crystal Run Part 2, was written by Marc Guggenheim, the artist was David Messina on issues 6, 8, 9 & 10 with Paul Fry on issues 6 & 7 and the colour artist on all issues was Alex Sinclair. Issue 6 was released September 28th 2022, issue 10 was released March 1st 2023 and the trade paperback collection is due for release June 6th 2023.

For the first arc of HS&C, check episode 107 of SWCIC and for Star Wars: Revelations, check episode 120.

Last episode brought another High Republic review, this time for the audiodrama in phase 2: The Battle Of Jedha by George Mann! As per Mike’s other reviews, he begins by giving an overview of the era and provides information on the book itself, before he gives his spoiler-free thoughts. He then gives a mild spoiler warning and speaks more about the characters in the book, the themes and the plot information given in the first part of the book. Mike then reads the blurb/publisher’s summary and gives a major spoiler warning, before giving his thoughts on the whole book and finishes the episode with giving an overview of the book’s plot!

The Battle Of Jedha By George Mann: Audio Drama Review & Plot Summary - Silandra Sho, Creighton Sun, Aida Forte & The Path Of The Open Hand - High Republic Phase 2, Wave 1

The Battle Of Jedha By George Mann: Audio Drama Review & Plot Summary - Silandra Sho, Creighton Sun, Aida Forte & The Path Of The Open Hand - High Republic Phase 2, Wave 1

AFTER CONVERGENCE, THE BATTLE OF JEDHA DISRUPTS THE GALAXY! It’s time for another review of The High Republic, but this episode features the audio drama/script book written by George Mann for Phase 2 of this era; The Battle of Jedha! As per Mike’s other reviews, he begins by giving an overview of the era and provides information on the book itself, before he gives his spoiler-free thoughts. He then gives a mild spoiler warning and speaks more about the characters in the book, the themes and the plot information given in the first part of the book. Mike then reads the blurb/publisher’s summary and gives a major spoiler warning, before giving his thoughts on the whole book and finishes the episode with giving an overview of the book’s plot – this is a must-listen for any fans of The High Republic, especially if you’ve not listened to this audio drama!

This episode was first released on the feed of Comics In Motion, in April 2023.

The Battle Of Jedha is an audio drama written by George Mann, is set in Phase 2, Wave 1 of THR; 350 years before the Skywalker Saga and was released January 3rd 2023, the script book was released February 14th 2023.

Other Phase 2 High Republic book reviews that Mike has released, all in 2023, are; Path Of Deceit on 7th Jan, Quest For Hidden City on February 14th and Convergence on March 18th. A review for Cataclysm & the other phase 2 books will follow, as will THR comics, The Blade and other phase 2 content.

Previously, in ep 124, Mike released an episode that is technically not “canon” as it’s a comic that takes place in a Star Wars Visions continuity, more specifically, The Duel. This comic is a prequel to The Duel animated episode, which is also linked to the Ronin novel. Mike explores The Ronin’s story, confirms connections along the way and gives his interpretations to the ending.

Visions Special: What Came Before The Duel? Prequel Comic: The Ronin, The Shogun & Battle Scars – Ep 124

Visions Special: What Came Before The Duel? Prequel Comic: The Ronin, The Shogun & Battle Scars – Ep 124

WHAT DID THE WANDERING RONIN DO BEFORE THE DUEL? For ep 124 (& April Fool’s Day), this episode is technically not “canon” as it takes place in a Star Wars Visions continuity, more specifically, The Duel. This comic is a prequel to The Duel animated episode, which is also linked to the Ronin novel. Mike explores The Ronin’s story, confirms connections along the way and gives his interpretations to the ending.

This episode was first released on the feed of Comics In Motion, in April 2023.

Star Wars: Visions 1 was released on October 12th 2022 and it was written by Takashi Okazaki, who also did the artwork and the colours. Aki Yanagi did the English translation and the book Ronin was written by Emma Mieko Candon.

Mike, Megan, Ria & JAC discussed all 9 episodes of Star Wars Visions Season 1 here: https://pod.fo/e/100f26

Previously, in ep 123, Mike continued with the final chapter of the Qi’ra trilogy along with the Bounty Hunters & Aphra comic crossovers! As Chanath Cha finally confronts Vader for 2 decades of revenge, Aphra learns even more from the Spark Eternal and gets more than she bargained for! Plus Beilert Valance also takes issue with Vader & The Empire’s lies so tries to fight the Sith Lord one-on-one in an act of pure anger, but as we know Vader’s fate, what will happen to those who challenge the Sith Lord – will they live to tell the tale?

THR P2: Convergence By Zoraida Córdova; Plot Summary & Spoiler-Free Book Review – Axel Greylark, Gella Nattai, Eiram & E'ronoh's Forever War & More - High Republic Phase 2, Wave 1

THE FOREVER WAR BETWEEN EIRAM & E’RONOH ENDS… OR DOES IT?! Convergence is the focus of this episode; Mike provides an overview of Phase 2 of The High Republic, noting Phase 2’s intro crawl and provides his spoiler-free thoughts on the novel. He then reads the blurb and provides more information on the book, lightly speaking about characters and themes. Mike then gives the final spoiler-warning and talks in-depth about the characters and gives an overview of the book’s plot, some connections to other content and more!

This episode was first released on the feed of Comics In Motion, in March 2023.

This book is the third book in the second phase of the High Republic, it centres around the Forever War between the connected worlds of Eiram & E’ronoh, where the young royals Xiri & Phan-Tu try to bring the planets together and end the war, with the help of the Jedi Gella Nattai and Chancellor Greylark’s son Axel, but it seems more is happening behind the scenes, as every step towards peace seems to bring more destruction and pain…

Convergence is an adult novel written by Zoraida Córdova, it is set in Phase 2, Wave 1 of THR; 350 years before the Skywalker Saga and was released November 22nd 2022.

Shoutout to @BlueMilkMama for the great Greylark discussion, and for just being awesome!

Vader sees many potential futures thanks to the Eye Of The Webbish Bog, but what do these futures all mean and can Vader change any of them?

DARTH VADER HAS A VISION OF THE FUTURE, SHOWING THE RESURRECTION OF AN ANCIENT DROID THREAT! For ep 120, Mike delves into the one-shot special by Marc Guggenheim which stretches across all ongoing runs of Star Wars comics (excluding The High Republic) to give an idea of what new threat is looming during & after the Hidden Empire crossover event.
