Welcome to episode 40.75 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: Occupation and Defender. On this Scoundrel's Special Edition, Jay, Dennis, and Darth Taxus discuss the Rebels' return to Lothal. First, they start with "The Occupation." When the Rebellion receives a transmission from Lothal concerning the Empire's TIE Defender project, Ezra and the rest of the crew of the Ghost vow to return to their home planet. However, getting to Lothal is a challenge. Therefore, the group hires a smuggler and disguises themselves. In addition, their cover doesn't last long.

Once they rendezvous with their contact on Lothal, they investigate the Empire's project in the episode "Flight of the Defender." Sabine isn't content to just report intel to the Rebellion, she wants the TIE Defender's flight data recorder. However, that decision puts her and Ezra squarely in Thrawn's sites. Plus, there is a little issue of  the white loth-cat and the  loth-wolf and his role in the Force. Why is Ezra the only one that can see him? What did he mean by "Dume?" Jay, Dennis, and Taxus discuss this and more in this week's episode.

Home Alone

Well Scoundrels, it's been a tough few days, hasn't it? We've been stuck at home watching a near-endless deluge of fun and frivolity stream from Star Wars Celebration Orlando. But it hasn't been all bad, has it? I mean I accidentally got an extra chicken strip from Raising Cane's, so that was good. And I finally tried a chimichanga from a local gas-station. That started out good but, well, I digest, er, digress.

A Clip Show, Whaaaa?!?!?

We are the only Star Wars Podcast with the courage to not only risk insane content throughout the year, but to also combine them all into one great big risk pool of failed bits just to keep you at home entertained, and those who are desperately seeking a way to keep the high from Star Wars Celebration going on their way home.

But Wait There's More!

But misery loves company, so along the way we have special guests from the RetroZap family or past guests who also couldn't make it to Star Wars Celebration drop by to say hi. Look out for some all-to-familiar Easter Eggs! Well, not really. I just wanted to use that term since this show releases on Easter. We also have a VERY special SILENCE FOOLS message from a good-strong Scoundrel. Based on his predictions, you'll only have two or three more clip shows to worry about in the future.

No Thanks, I'll Pass.

Aw, come on.

OK, I'll listen.

Good. Now, pay attention to the road before you make this show entered into evidence in a trial!

 - Darth Taxus

PS, Thanks to James Volpe (also for the great show image), Jay Krebs (who still had a great week at the beach, so I don't feel too sorry for her), Michael Nipp (yo might have seen him at Celebration, but it was all a lie), Kate Dubinko (who is currently indisposed after appearing), Michael O'Connor (we really bonded... James Bonded), Bill Drewnowski (give a guy a little power and see what happens), Tim McMahon (the flashing podcaster, because he's fast), Courtney Martin (ay caramba), Mike Harris (read the fine print with him), Joey Letson (note: do better background checks on guests), AND Stephen Kent (for our Lifetime Original segment) for all appearing. We couldn't have done it without you!

 

Apr 16, 2017

Hey Scoundrels! Sorry this is late today, I'm nutso busy! In fact, I have no idea what Dennis did before I threw it together and published! YOLO, am I right? So lets all take a listen and be shocked or pleased.

 - Darth Taxus

Apr 14, 2017

Dennis continued to have a blast on the opening day of Star Wars Celebration Orlando. He sounds a little tired after the RetroZap party! Maybe he had a few too many Blue Russians, eh comrade? Listen in and revel in his glory!

Apr 13, 2017

Trivia

Maul's Hunt for Kenobi

After the trivia, the guys get into "Twin Suns." Maul finally arrived on Tatooine. Since learning of Obi-Wan's survival during "Holocrons of Fate," Maul has been hunting him.

Ezra's Role

Although this episode features Obi-Wan's climactic duel with Maul, Ezra Bridger is featured. Maul needs a lure for Obi-Wan's nobility, and Ezra will do nicely. Dennis and Taxus therefore discuss Ezra's involvement. Was he necessary? Could this episode have used less Ezra? Also, did Ezra learn anything?

The Duel

Ever since "Holocrons of Fate," Rebels viewers anticipated this showdown. So, it is natural to wonder if it lived up to the hype. Dave Filoni and the creative team at Lucasfilm carefully crafted the final battle. Did it work? In addition, what move did Maul attempt to finish Kenobi with?

The Legacy of Maul

Once this episode was over, it was fitting to ask what it meant for Maul. For instance, did he find peace? Also, did he intend to win? What if he had won? Furthermore, Maul asked Obi-Wan an interesting question. Obi-Wan's answer sparked debate among the fan community. What did each of them mean? Are they correct?

There is plenty to discuss in this episode. So, join Dennis and Taxus analyze "Twin Suns." Thanks for listening to episode 24.5 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: Twin Suns and Legacy of Maul.
