We dive into three episodes: “Bibo”, “Dangerous Business”, and “The Doza Dilemma”. Breaking down everything from 110% more Neeku to First Order manipulations on the Colossus, this month’s report is short, sweet, and a prelude to a huge February for this show. Plus, more Celebration news,...

January 07, 2019 14:02 - 1 hour - 61.9 MBHappy New Year! It’s 2019, the year of a Star War, but before we look ahead to a banner year of Star Wars content, we look back at the best of 2018. There was a movie, a novelization, the end of one TV show, the beginning of a new one, and positive developments in the future of Star Wars. Plus, we got to talk to some great people in 2018 and we reflect on some of the things we loved about the show. All of that and Josh imagines Maul’s pitch to investors on our first H1R of 2019!

#106 - Star Wars Resistance Report - December 2018
December 31, 2018 20:44 - 56 minutes - 51.4 MBAlthough there were only two episodes to talk about, there was plenty of discussions to be had on this month’s Star Wars Resistance Report. In “Secrets and Holograms”, we get into Doza’s massive secret, Kaz finally getting to spy, and the first instance of video games being played in a Star Wars TV show. Then, in “Station Theta Black”, things get real as Poe and Kaz head out on a mission assigned to them by General Leia Organa! Over the course of the episode, we talk about the state of the g...
#105 - Star Wars Holiday Special
December 24, 2018 14:17 - 1 hour - 64.1 MBWhat could we possibly glean from the Star Wars Holiday Special? Well, we seek to find out by discussing the baseline of Star Wars awfulness, a CBS Star Wars variety show set between the events of Episode IV and Episode V. Spanning conversation from what was bad, to what was terrible, to what was an actual desecration of Star Wars, we try our best to wade through a maddening hour and 45 minutes. However, it’s not all bad, as we also get a chance to discuss the origins of Boba Fett in this sp...
#104 - Age of Republic: Qui-Gon and Darth Maul Comics
December 20, 2018 00:52 - 54 minutes - 50.2 MBAs the holiday season nears, there is nary a new Star Wars movie in sight. Despite the Resistance-less, movie-less, not-yet-2019 wasteland of December 2018, we still have great content to talk about with two one-shot comics! Written by Jody Houser, the Qui-Gon and Darth Maul one-shots tie directly into one another and have extremely interesting things to say about the balance of the Force and both of the characters’ philosophies and character arcs. Also, is Yoda culpable for the fall of the ...
#103 - Scum and Villainy Review
December 13, 2018 15:23 - 1 hour - 61.3 MBSickness and snow storms might slow us down, but they certainly don’t stop an episode of H1R! We finally get a chance to talk about Pablo Hidalgo’s book, Scum and Villainy, a picturesque journey through the galaxy’s most notorious criminals. Exploring law and order in the times of the Republic, Empire, and New Republic, Hidalgo’s book is a rich vein of storytelling and deep dive into the state of the galaxy at its most oppressive and most turbulent. Plus, our tardiness is rewarded with some ...
#102 - Lando's Luck Review
December 04, 2018 15:29 - 55 minutes - 50.9 MBThis week’s episode is another book in the Flight of the Falcon series, Lando’s Luck, by Justina Ireland. Finding inspiration in the stories previously told about Lando, Ireland’s book feels like a throwback to 60’s and 70’s space fantasy. We discuss Lando being down on his luck, the galactic politics swirling in the background, and how L3 and Lando handle the earnestness and plucky nature of a thirteen-year-old princess. Plus, we discuss more authors coming to Celebration and Blaine takes a...

Of course, he has to tramble his way back onto the show and review one of the best episodes of Season 1.

Return to the Clone Wars - S01 E08 - Bombad Jedi
November 10, 2018 14:17 - 9 minutes - 17.9 MBHow could a Jar Jar-centric episode featuring the much-maligned Gungan disguised as a Jedi and a griping C-3PO be any good? Well, it takes careful maneuvering, the solid presence of Padmé Amidala, and Jar Jar almost dying twice. Throw in some galactic political chess match and Nute Gunray and you have the episode “Bombad Jedi”. Josh pleads for us to consider Jar Jar and celebrates/laments his canonized fate. All that and a real bombad intro on deesa episode of Return to the Clone Wars.
#098 - The Complete Visual Dictionary Review
November 06, 2018 14:55 - 1 hour - 64.3 MBThis week, we are diving headlong into an infinite pool of Star Wars gold by discussing Pablo Hidalgo’s new and updated The Complete Visual Dictionary. Spanning all three major eras of the galaxy far, far away, we tried something different and picked out some stuff that was meaningful or just plain cool to talk about. Josh continues talking about droid sentience, Blaine returns to his childhood awe on Boonta Eve, plus they both are intrigued by the idea of exploring criminal organizations in...

#096 - Odyssey: A Star Wars Story Review
October 26, 2018 15:38 - 1 hour - 113 MBThis week’s episode is a bit off our normal schedule--but for good reason. We’re going to be talking about the newly-released fan film, Star Wars: Odyssey, a story about a young rebel soldier who is forced to make a tough decision on a mission. We discuss the movie at length, put to bed the idea a fan film is amateurish, and talk up the movie’s commitment to a human story that fits well in the Star Wars Universe during the time of the Rebellion against the Empire.

#095 - Choose Your Destiny - A Luke and Leia Adventure Review
October 16, 2018 04:54 - 54 minutes - 99.1 MBWe have to play a little catch-up on Star Wars this week, so before we dive into Cavan Scott’s new book, Choose Your Destiny: A Luke and Leia Adventure, we discuss The Mandalorian, Alphabet Squadron, and Star Wars Celebration!

A clone hospital under attack! It’s an intense, battle-heavy episode of The Clone Wars and Josh is ready to tackle its ins and outs.
