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

This week brings another Star Wars conversation, 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.

This ep is another canon book review, but this one takes place from Attack Of The Clones through The Clone Wars and into years after Order 66, following Iskat Akaris’ journey from Jedi Padawan to The Thirteenth Sister (an inquisitor) and the many situations she finds herself in along the way, including searching for other members of her mysterious species.

In this episode, Mike first introduces the book & mentions connected content, then provides his spoiler-free thoughts, before giving slightly more details and finishing with a full spoiler warning and detailing his full thoughts on the novel and some connections. This is the perfect companion to episode 74 of SWCIC, where Mike delves into issues 19-25 of the 2017 Darth Vader comics, which take place when the epilogue of Rise Of the Red Blade occurs!

The last episode, was the final High Republic book review for Phase 2; Path Of Vengeance by Cavan Scott, where MARDA & YANA RO’S JOURNEY WRAPS UP IN THE FINAL PIECE OF PHASE 2 HIGH REPUBLIC! In this sequel to Path of Deceit, we see Marda & Yana’s perspectives while the prior events in Phase 2 occur, including the Battles Of Jedha & Dalna, with more information on the mysterious nameless creatures, the identity of The Mother and more from Matthea Cathley & Oliviah Zeveron!

Star Wars: Ahsoka Part 7 Dreams And Madness: Is This Show’s Sole Purpose To Bring Thrawn Back? Plus Action Scenes Interrupting Dialogue, Baylan Is Amazing and Ezra’s Interesting Return, With Angry Andy & Mike

Our discussion on Ahsoka continues with the penultimate episode of the series; Part 7: Dreams And Madness!

Mike is joined by Angry Andy and their conversation begins with Andy’s thoughts on the series so far, before delving into Hera & The New Republic, Sabine, Baylan Soll & Shin Hati’s paths, Thrawn, Ezra and more! In more detail, the duo inadvertently are quite critical of the show, as they start with surface-level issues but end up pulling threads that lead to more & more questions, including; do Ahsoka’s actions have any impact on the outcome of this show’s plot (aka bringing Thrawn back)? Do Ezra’s actions make sense or do they just to prevent him being too overpowered? Can any character with a name die? Why is Baylan so interesting while Morgan Elsbeth is so dull? Is this show just a prologue to an upcoming movie? Mike & Andy ask these questions and more!

Star Wars: Comics In Canon – Hidden Empire Finale & The Spark Eternal: Qi’ra’s Reign Ends & Aphra Gets Stabbed (HE5 & Doctor Aphra 30 & 31) – Ep 129

AS THE HIDDEN EMPIRE ENDS, WHAT ARE QI’RA AND DOCTOR APHRA’S FATES?

Hidden Empire 5 was released April 5th 2023, was written by Charles Soule, with Steven Cummings as penciller, Victor Olazaba & Wayne Faucher as inkers and Guru eFX as colour artist. The trade paperback of all 5 Hidden Empire issues is due for release July 4th 2023.

Star Wars: Comics In Canon – 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!

Star Wars: 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.

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.

Star Wars 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?

Star Wars Rebels Reviewed, Season 2: Ahsoka Confronts Vader, Maul’s Return, Rex Joins The Fight, Kanan & Ezra’s Grow, Hondo Ohnaka And More!

As live-action Star Wars shows have paused for the moment, 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!

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). Maff then notes how he’s been consuming far more Star Wars content than he expected, Dave talks about The Clone Wars and then they discuss Hondo Ohnaka and the purrgils. The trio then delve into Ahsoka’s character and of course, the finale; Twilight Of The Apprentice!

You can listen to this on any podcast app, or watch the video version at https://youtube.com/genuinechitchat!

This ep is another spoiler-free book review from the High Republic era, with the final book in the second wave (of the first phase); Out Of The Shadows by Justina Ireland – the young adult novel which is set shortly after The Rising Storm & Race to Crashpoint Tower, with a bunch of new and familiar characters from Into The Dark, A Test Of Courage and more!

In more detail, Mike confirms OOTS sits in the timeline and what other SW content Justina Ireland has released, before providing his fully spoiler-free review of the book. Mike then reads the blurb & crawl of the book and gives his thoughts on the themes & characters which features some very minor spoilers, including some interesting lore on Hyperspace. After providing these thoughts, Mike finishes his review by providing more-detailed thoughts on the book and confirms the general plot (including the ending) of the book.

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

Out Of The Shadows was released July 27th 2021 and is by Justina Ireland. For The High Republic, she also wrote the junior novel A Test Of Courage, the manga Edge of Balance and Mission To Disaster (Phase 1, Wave 3).

Wave 3 (due early 2022) will include Claudia Gray’s “adult” novel The Fallen Star plus junior-novel Mission To Disaster by Justina Ireland and Daniel José Older’s young-adult novel Midnight Horizon.

Mike has reviewed all books from the first wave of phase 1 in 2021, which are Light Of The Jedi (reviewed March), A Test Of Courage (August) & Into The Dark (October), all of which take place in 232BBY.

In ep 90, Mike tackled the 2nd volume of High Republic Adventures comics, where two padawans & an ancient jedi master head to Nal Hutta along with crew from The Vessel – this journey brings plenty of reflection and lessons learned. Plus after Race To Crashpoint Tower, some characters are reunited all while Maz Kanata’s castle on Takodana is attacked by the Nihil with only a single jedi there to defend! Plus Mike delves into the Parwan, Kyuzo and Rancor species & more!

Jabba’s Palace shows a conspiracy where someone tries to take over from Jabba, Ewoks features 3 stories without dialogue that Ewoks tell each other around the campfire while in Lando, he & Chewie attempt to find full schematics of Jabba’s Palace, so they can plan a break-in to save Han!

Star Wars: Comics In Canon – Ty Yorrick’s Origin Story & The Dark-Sider Temple, Plus Tholothians, Gundarks and The Rising Storm (The Monster Of Temple Peak) – Ep 87

TY TORRICK’S MYSTERIOUS PAST IS REVEALED! Mike starts this episode with a brief bio on Ty Yorrick, where the Monster Of Temple Peak comics sit in The High Republic and what Tholothians (Ty’s species) are before he delves into the plot of issue 1. As well as going through the plot of these 4 issues, Mike provides information on various species (including Gundarks, Segredos & more), various planets and other connections to the rest of the SW universe – this episode is a must-listen for any fans of The High Republic book The Rising Storm!

These High Republic comics are set in 231BBY, in the first phase & second wave of the High Republic; after Light Of The Jedi but before The Rising Storm.

The Monster Of Temple Peak 1 was released 11th August 2021, issue 4 was released November 17th 2021 and the trade paperback collection is to be confirmed. Cavan Scott is the writer of these comics, with Rachael Stott as artist (& cover artist) with Vita Efrenova & Nicola Righi as colour artists.

This episode was first released on the feed of Comics In Motion, in February 2022. Mike tackled the first volume of High Republic comics (by Cavan Scott) in episode 84 of SWCIC and the first volume of HR Adventures comics (by Daniel José Older) in episode 86 of SWCIC.

Mike’s High Republic book reviews are found on Comics In Motion’s feed and on Mike’s YouTube: Light Of The Jedi was released March 13th 2021, A Test Of Courage: August 14th 2021, Into The Dark: October 2nd 2021 and The Rising Storm was released November 13th 2021. Race To Crashpoint Tower was out last week (February 6th 2022) and Out Of The Shadows will be released later in 2022.

Check out the last episode of SWCIC, which was another spoiler-free book review from the High Republic era, continuing with the second wave (of the first phase) with Race To Crashpoint Tower by Daniel José Older – the junior novel which runs parallel to the “adult” novel, The Rising Storm, with a bunch of new and familiar characters!

Wave 3 (due early 2022) will include Claudia Gray’s “adult” novel The Fallen Star plus junior-novel Mission To Disaster by Justina Ireland and Daniel José Older’s young-adult novel Midnight Horizon.

Sar Wars: Comics In Canon – THR: The Rising Storm by Cavan Scott, Review & Overview – Nihil Attack The Republic Fair On Valo, Plus Ty Yorrick, Elzar Mann & The Tempest Runner – The High Republic (Phase 1, Wave 2)

This episode, Mike is doing another spoiler-free book review & plot overview from the High Republic’s second wave; The Rising Storm by Cavan Scott – the “main adult” novel with a huge amount of characters, major plot points and shocking moments!

In more detail, in the first half, Mike gives a information on the other releases for The High Republic (the first two waves within Phase 1), gives some background/plot information on the book and then delves into his spoiler-free review; providing information from the blurb, the themes, how it continues from Light Of The Jedi, what he enjoyed about it, which characters have returned and details found within the first few pages. Mike then reads out the blurb & crawl before providing more details on the characters and their general journeys/thoughts, the state of the Republic at the start of this book, the wider themes and how they impact story elements, as well as how it fits in with other High Republic material, which all falls into light-spoiler territory. He then talks about “connected content”, primarily the tie-in High Republic comics and gives a mini-review of the Tempest Runner audio drama before giving plenty of warning and delving into his more detailed review, which still doesn’t fully spoil the book but it does mention some plot details right at the very end, so you can listen to as little or as much info about The Rising Storm before picking it up yourself.

Star Wars THR: Into The Dark by Claudia Gray Review & Overview – Reath Silas, Orla Jareni, Cohmac Vitus, Drengir Origins & More – The High Republic (Phase 1, Wave 1)

In this episode, Mike is doing another spoiler-free book review from the High Republic era; Into The Dark by Claudia Gray! Although the book is a “young adult” novel, it’s still an excellent read for teenagers & adults alike and is part of the first wave of the first phase of High Republic content, focusing primarily on padawan Reath Silas & the Drengir!

In more detail, for the first half of the episode, Mike gives a bit of information on the other releases for The High Republic (the first two waves within Phase 1) and then delves into his spoiler-free review; primarily providing information from the blurb and within the first few pages; talking about the book’s themes, what he enjoyed about it and how it impacts the rest of The High Republic. In the second half, Mike provides more details on the characters within the story and gives examples on how the book’s themes work with the story being told and how it fits in with other High Republic material, which falls into light-spoiler territory. He gives plenty of warning before delving into his more detailed review, so you can listen to as little or as much info about Into The Dark before picking it up yourself – Mike ends the review with a general overview of the other High Republic books and talking about where they fit chronologically with the comics & other High Republic content.

Into The Dark was released February 2nd 2021 by Claudia Gray. She has also written the young adult novels Lost Stars and Leia: Princess Of Alderaan, as well as the “adult” novels Master & Apprentice and Bloodline. She has also recently announced The Fallen Star; the third “adult” book in The High Republic era.

Please note this episode was originally released in October 2021 on the feed of Comics In Motion.

Into The Dark is from Phase 1, Wave 1 of The High Republic, also in Wave 1 is Light Of The Jedi and A Test Of Courage. Phase 1, Wave 2 includes The Rising Storm, Out Of The Shadows and Race To Crashpoint Tower and Wave 3 (due early 2022) will include Claudia Gray’s “adult” novel The Fallen Star plus junior-novel Mission To Disaster and young-adult novel Midnight Horizon.

Mike also interviewed Claudia Gray on December 12th 2020, so make sure you check that out if you haven’t already!

Check out the last episode of SWCIC for the third full chapter in the War Of The Bounty Hunters crossover, with a ton of action, characters & connections! Join Mike as he takes you through the 6 issues where Valance & Dengar are hunted by Deathstick, Zuckuss gets more canon backstory, Qi’ra takes on Darth Vader, Boba Fett fights everyone’s favourite wookiee and Luke reflects on his time against the dark lord all while Aphra & Sana Starros try to hide from the action while stealing some high-value artifacts – all of this plus many facts & connections from Mike!
