Once again, happy holidays, Scoundrels! Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels is back for episode eighteen. While Taxus eagerly awaits the arrival of Vader Claus (Dennis didn't get it either), they guys are reviewing Rogue One.
Beyond Rogue One, there isn't a lot of Star Wars news. However, there are a few stories to share. First, John Williams has begun recording the score for episode VIII. Also, if you are a regular listener of this show, you know Dennis and Taxus are fans of Dr. Aphra. Therefore, the guys will touch on the debut of the new comic from Marvel, Doctor Aphra.
The 2016 comic con season has finally come to a close. Therefore, it is time to start looking forward to 2017. Darth Taxus has found the scheduled Star Wars celebrity appearances for January and will share them in this episode's Skystalking segment.
Next, the episode's "Hyperthetical" discusion segment focuses on Rogue One. After all the hype, the movie has finally arrived in theaters. This review will be a spoiler heavy discussion. First, Dennis and Taxus discuss Michael Giacchino's score. Then they discuss their favorite characters, cameos and Easter eggs, and favorite scenes. Taxus has a potential plot hole to discuss as well. This is just the beginning, Scoundrels. More Rogue One discussion is coming in future episodes.
Finally, it wouldn't be an episode of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels, if the guys didn't address some listener feedback. Of course, this means there is another edition of "Silence Fools!" However, this time, there was no new listener feedback. Alas, Dennis found some new relevant information relating to a previous email to the show. And, there might be a few more surprises in store for the final show of 2016. Might Vader Claus make Taxus's dreams come true and Dennis's nightmares come to life? You will just have to download and listen to find out.
Rogue One is finally here! This is the show that Dennis and Taxus have been waiting to record all year. Therefore, they are extremely appreciative of the fact that you choose to download and listen. Once again, thanks for joining us for episode eighteen of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels.

Welcome to another Scoundrels Special Edition of Starships Sabers and Scoundrels. This week, SCubedPod focuses on the last episode of season three of Rebels before the winter break: "Visions and Voices." As a special bonus, Johnamarie Macias from The Wookiee Gunner joins the guys for this episode. When Ezra begins experiencing visions of Darth Maul, he and Kanan visit the Bendu. However, their consultation with Bendu is interrupted by Maul himself. After coercion by Maul, Ezra accompanies the former Sith to Dathomir for an old Nightsister ritual designed to complete the visions they experienced when the holocrons were merged earlier this season. This is a somewhat in-depth review that contains spoilers.
First, the guys and Johnamarie discuss Ezra's relationship with Maul. What does Ezra hope to achieve by working with Maul? How does he think of Maul? Conversely, what does Maul see in Ezra that makes him desirable as an apprentice?
Next, what do Ezra and Maul's visions mean? Both Ezra and Maul desired to learn more about the visions from the holocrons. Unfortunately, neither of their visions were complete or understandable. What do they learn in this episode and what does it mean for the future? Also, what does "hope" mean to Maul?
In addition, Maul's cave on Dathomir was full of artifacts. Some of these artifacts were relevant to Sabine and the Mandalorians. What do they mean for Sabine, the Mandalorians, and Rebels going forward?
After the discussion of "Visions and Voices", Dennis, Taxus, and Johnamarie reflect on the first part of this season of Rebels. Each share their favorite moments and episodes. Finally, they look forward. What do they hope and expect to see in the second half of this season? There is so much to look forward to.
Thanks for listening to this Scoundrels Special Edition of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels.

Death Stars, and lightsabers, and hyperdrive rings, these are a few of a Sith's favorite things. Happy holidays, Scoundrels! Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels is back for episode seventeen.
Most of the recent Star Wars news focuses on the upcoming release of Rogue One. First, advanced tickets sales for the movie recently went on sale. Dennis and Taxus discuss their experience ordering tickets online. Although they were successful, there were challenges acquiring tickets. Next, past guests Galactic Empire announced the release date of their upcoming album. Therefore, the guys discuss the release date and the track titles for the upcoming album.
Next, the holidays are nearly upon us. With all the Rogue One hype, it is understandable if you are behind in your holiday shopping. Never fear! SCubedPod is here to help. We have gift suggestions for all manner of Star Wars fans. In addition, not all of them are capable of destroying a planet. Whether you are shopping for a cosplayer or an office worker, the guys have ideas. Need something for the cook in your life? They have suggestions. Don't want to buy more action figures? No sweat. They have ideas for kids too.
Another episode of Rebels aired this past weekend. Unlike other recent episodes, "An Inside Man" advances the story of Rebels with major developments. Although, listeners should be cautious as this discussion contains spoilers. Who is the mystery man helping the Rebels? What is the Empire planning on Lothal? Can the Rebels escape from Thrawn yet again?
Finally, it wouldn't be an episode of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels, if the guys didn't address some listener feedback. Of course, this means there is another edition of "Silence Fools!" This time, a listener wants to know what is up with Artoo's rockets. The guys discuss this and another message strikes a nerve with Taxus.
Rogue One is almost here! Everyone is excited, and the wait seems unbearable. Therefore, we suggest you pass some of the wait with us. Once again, thanks for joining us for episode seventeen of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels.
