Welcome to episode 66 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: Execute Episode 66. On this episode, the Scoundrels are celebrating a very special Star Wars Halloween. But, Taxus wants to collect candy.  The problem is, he might be a little too old to pass for a kid trick-or-treating. So, he has a unique solution that he claims is fool proof. What could possibly go wrong?

Star Wars News

While the Scoundrels deal with the issues created by Taxus's Halloween shenanigans, they also deal with some news. StarWars.com and Jon Favreau released new information on The Mandalorian. Star Wars Celebration Chicago tickets are selling fast! Also, there are plenty of publishing announcements from New York Comic Con up for discussion.

Maul: Lockdown

As is tradition for the Scoundrels on Halloween, they discuss a novel by Joe Schreiber. This year, it is Maul: Lockdown. When Darth Sidious sends Darth Maul undercover to acquire a prison, Maul rises to the challenge. However, this mission takes Maul to an intergalactic prison full of gangs, monsters, and mysteries. In addition, the difficulty of the assignment increases when Sidious forbids Maul from using the Force. Can Maul survive feuding gangsters, gladiatorial combat, prison security, invading cultists, and horrifying monsters and complete his mission? Dennis, Jay, and Darth Taxus dive into Maul: Lockdown and dicsuss Maul's insane mission.

Silence Fools

Episode 66 concludes with Silence Fools! On this listener feedback section of the show, the Scoundrels read an iTunes review, respond to email, and review the results of their latest Twitter poll.

Welcome to episode 65.3 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: The Triple Dark. On this Scoundrels Special Edition, Jay and Dennis continue the discussion of Resistance with a look at the second episode of the series.

The Triple Dark

"The Triple Dark" begins with Kaz continuing to make his own way on Colossus Station. Kaz is eager to begin his mission for a spy for the Resistance. His initial efforts at spying meet with less than desirable results. However, he overhears a communication about the Triple Dark, and when he learns it is a storm later, he begins to put things together. Can Kaz successfully aid the Aces in defending Colossus from a pirate raid?

During their review of "The Triple Dark," Dennis and Jay take a critical lens to the show. What is currently working for Resistance? Where does it falter. In particular, Dennis and Jay identify a couple of tropes they found annoying. Plus, is the tone more similar to Looney Tunes than Star Wars in places?

Despite the faults of "The Triple Dark," this episode does have some high points. Kaz is developing, even if slowly. Plus, there are some great looking ships in this episode. Download episode 65.3 and get the full take from the Scoundrels.

Thanks for tuning into episode 65.3 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: The Triple Dark. We hope you enjoyed this discussion of Resistance.

Welcome to episode 65.1 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: The Novel Bracket Part II. On this Scoundrels Special Edition, Dennis and Jay shake off the absence of Darth Taxus, who is neck deep with real life responsibilities, and begin the Scounrels' coverage of the latest Star Wars animated series from Lucasfilm.

"The Recruit"

Episode one of The Resistance begins with pilot for the Republic Kazuda "Kaz" Xiono and his wingmates pursued by a First Order TIE Fighter as they attempt a delivery of top secret intel to Poe Dameron of the Resistance. Before long, Kaz finds himself a new recruit in the fight against the dangerous First Order. Poe assigns him his first mission as a spy on Colossus Station on the ocean world of Castilon. Soon thereafter, Kaz is caught up in a community of racers on this haven for smugglers as he looks for First Order operatives.

Dennis and Jay dive into "The Recruit" and discuss Kaz and his new allies Yeager, Torra Doza, Tam Ryvora, and Neeku. Does Resistance hold up compared to The Clone Wars and Rebels? How does the action come across on the screen? Is this show truly aimed at 8 year olds, or is it appealing to all audiences? The Scoundrels discuss these questions as they work through the first episode of the series.
