#217 – Rewatching The Clone Wars Movie: Animated Vs Live-Action, Ahsoka, Droids, Clones & Starting The Series With Dave, Maff & Megan

We’ve reached The Clone Wars, but before we get to the series, Dave, Maff, Megan & Mike have watched The Clone Wars movie from 2008 – do Dave, Megan & Mike dislike it as much as they remember and what did Maff think on his first watch?

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.

Star Wars: Comics In Canon – Brotherhood by Mike Chen, Book Review & Overview – Anakin, Obi-Wan & Padmé Just Before The Clone Wars, Plus Asajj Ventress & Cato Neimoidia

WHAT WAS THAT BUSINESS ON CATO NEIMOIDIA? It’s time for another spoiler-free book review and this one is about the recently released Brotherhood by Mike Chen! Set in the first few weeks of the Clone Wars (just after Ep II: Attack Of The Clones) this story delves into the shift in Anakin & Obi-Wan’s relationship once Anakin is promoted from padawan to jedi while also dealing with crisis on Cato Neimoidia (as mentioned in Revenge Of The Sith) plus this book introduces a Clone Wars character, shows what Padmé & Anakin are like when aware from prying eyes as well as much more!

This episode was first released on the feed of Comics In Motion, in June 2022.

In more detail, Mike begins by confirming where he book sits in the timeline and provides some background information to the book before providing his spoiler-free thoughts on the book. Mike then gives his thoughts on the themes & characters which features some minor spoilers, Mike then finishes his review by providing more-detailed thoughts on the book and confirms the general plot.

Brotherhood was released May 10th 2022. Mike Chen also wrote the short story Disturbance from A Certain Point Of View (Empire Strikes Back) and the non-Star-Wars book Light Years From Home.

Previously, in ep 98, Mike embarks on the first volume of Edge Of Balance; the first canon Star Wars manga (that isn’t an adaptation of other media)! This volume introduces us to Jedi Knight Lily Tora-Asi, her old Wookiee master; Arkoff, two excitable younglings and Lily’s padawan Keerin! These jedi must face adapting to settling on a new world, but a mysterious force is causing disruption on Banchii – is it Nihil? Drengir? Or something else entirely? Listen to find out about this, the connections this manga has to the rest of The High Republic, additional information on Togrutas & Imroosians and much more!

Star Wars: Comics In Canon – Ep 33: Yoda’s Stonepower Master & Secret War Before TPM (Star Wars #26-30)

In this episode of Star Wars: Comics In Canon, Mike delves into the arc of the main Star Wars comics featuring the near-900 year old jedi master Yoda, set before The Phantom Menace! This arc includes Yoda saving a force sensitive child from pirates, learning a “new force power” from an unexpected master, living rock and how Yoda’s involvement in a secret war catches up to Luke nearly 35 years later!

Please note this episode was originally released on the feed of Comics In Motion in November 2020.

For the first two & a half minutes of this pod, Mike talks about the new weekly Mandalorian show under the SWCIC banner on this feed, there are no spoilers in this episode (so fear not!), but you can just skip to the 2 minute mark if you aren’t fussed!

Mike also recommends checking out the last four episodes of season 6 of The Clone Wars (episodes 10-13) as they centre around Yoda learning about force ghosts, Dagobah and other Force-related things (you don’t need to watch any other episodes of CW as these four standalone).

For Yoda’s Secret War, Jason Aaron was the writer, with Salvador Larroca as the artist and Edgar Delgado as the colourist. The cover artist was Stuart Immonen. Issue 26 was released December 2016 and issue 30 was out April 2017, the trade paperback (vol 5 of SW) was out July 2017 and this arc is included in the Journals Of Obi-Wan Kenobi collection released mid-November 2020.

Star Wars: Comics In Canon Special – Ep 1: Hello There, Canon/Legends & The Rise Of Kylo Ren

Hello there! Instead of a standard episode of Genuine Chit-Chat, this week Mike wanted to showcase his new show; Star Wars: Comics In Canon – found on the podcast feed of our friends at Comics In Motion!

This release is both episodes 0 & 1 rolled into one! Episode 0 is where Mike explains what you can expect from SW Comics In Canon going forward along with what “Canon/Legends” in SW is and the timeline of the movies, while episode 1 is about The Rise Of Kylo Ren comic and kyber crystal “bleeding” – this show is for all Star Wars fans; younglings & veterans alike! Whether you’ve consumed all the content (we’d be impressed if you have) or are just a film newbie getting into a galaxy far far away, we’re sure you’ll enjoy this look into the wider Star Wars canon, through the comic-book lens!

Regarding content discussed in Episode 1, for the best listening, ensure you’ve seen The Force Awakens & The Last Jedi, seeing The Rise Of Skywalker is suggested but it’s not essential and there will be no spoilers for it within – this comic series takes place around 6 years before the events of Episode VII: The Force Awakens; so as TFA is 34 ABY, this comic mini-series is around 28 ABY (flashbacks between 18-25 ABY).

The Rise Of Kylo Ren is written by Charles Soule, with Will Sliney as the artist and Guru eFX as the colourist, issue #1 released December 2019 & issue #4 released March 2020.

If anyone has questions about Star Wars or the show in general, send Mike an email at StarWarsComicsInCanon@outlook.com.

Next week will be back to the usual GCC shows, so if you’re not into Star Wars, check in next week!

Chris & Dave of Comics In Motion were on episodes 63 & 75 of Genuine Chit-Chat and Mike was on episodes 75 & 100 of Comics In Motion!
