Star Wars Loose Canon (general)

Welcome to the 3rd episode in our Essential Clone Wars series. This is arguably our most intriguing arc yet, but I bet we'll be saying that more often as we get later in the show.

Holocron Heist brings Darth Sidious' machinations into focus when he hires Cad Bane to steal a holocron from the Jedi Temple!

Listen as we review the biggest moments from this three episode arc.

LucasArts was one of the most successful video game developers of the 80s and 90s, delivering several classics such as Pipe Dream (1989), The Secret of Monkey Island (1990), Day of the Tentacle (1993), and X-wing versus TIE Fighter (1997).

But in the 2000s LucasArts struggled to maintain its prominence in the industry. They came up with one of their most ambitious ideas for a game to get themselves back on track. The story of Star Wars 1313’s development is the story of the fall of LucasArts.

Welcome to a new series from Loose Canon, The Armies of Star Wars, where we dive into the military forces on both sides of the conflict from each movie trilogy.

There is so much going on behind the scenes when it comes to the third Star Wars trilogy, you could be forgiven for being confused about it. On top of that, much of the supplemental content surrounding the sequels isn't in the minds of many fans, for various reasons.

While you shouldn't be expected to read three books to understand what's going on, it certainly helps to do a little research in this case. 

Chris Higgins and Zack Wildman have gone down the rabbit hole once again to discuss the political and military situation of the galaxy after the fateful battle of Endor.

Welcome to a new series from Loose Canon called the Armies of Star Wars where we dive into the military forces on both sides of the conflict from each movie trilogy.

Did you think you knew everything there was to know about the Empire and the Alliance because you watched the moves? Think again. There's a whole lot more beneath the surface that the movies don't show you.

In this episode, we discuss the origins of both the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. We also dive into how each side solidified its power, why the conflict started, and how they compared to previous and future iterations.

Attack of the Clones and The Clone Wars tv show told us much about the origin and life of the clones, but we have been left mostly in the dark about their decline, until now. The Dave Filoni-helmed animated show, The Bad Batch follows a small group of "defective" clones as they resist the new Empire, but this tale reveals much more than that.

A new era of Star Wars is here! Lucasfilm has started to release a new slate of High Republic content set 300 years before the Battle of Yavin, a time when the Republic and the Jedi were at their peak and the Outer Rim territories were largely unsettled.

In today's podcast, we are here to get you up-to-speed on the books and comics that tell the story of the High Republic and we talk in detail (mild spoilers) about one of the first books to come out called the Light of the Jedi.

What if The Coen Brothers Made a Star War?

For each episode of this new series, one of our esteemed hosts will pitch a Star Wars film to the other co-hosts who will act as Disney and Lucasfilm executives.

Sometimes an artist has the great idea to marry the ferocity of a bear with the elegance of a potato, and – suddenly – you have the Rancor, a creature that was only a few clicks of empathy away from being regarded the same as Wookiees.

It's clear that Star Wars has a much better version of Google Hangouts than we do. In this one, we deep dive into communications and means of data transfer, especially the kind that occurs in Rogue One.

The galaxy isn't entirely made up of lightsaber fights and cut-and-dried good and evil. In this episode, we get our lawyer friend and muse Joe Terrenzio on retainer. He applies his legal expertise to the galaxy and prepares for our eventual lawsuit with Lucasfilm and the Church of Scientology. Not necessarily in that order.

Better late than never.

Long considered lost and forgotten, raw audio tracks were unearthed. In them, the boys finally get to breaking down The Force Awakens. What better time to release them to the public than 17 months and 1 film later!

The weirdest part: our opinions age pretty well.

Happy Star Wars Day!

The Force.

What does it do?

What doesn't

Why is it so finicky and change from wielder to wielder?

Bonus question: what does it have to do with girls' night out?

We're back to catalog the do's and don'ts of the Force. Cause it's confusing and we're here to help our listeners make sense of the galaxy.

In this stunning conclusion to our Darth Vader two-parter, we get to the core of what makes Vader tick - seriously his suit probably does tick a little. When it comes to the complex mechanisms keeping that quivering Christmas ham alive on the inside, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Parts that include some pretty cool gloves.

I mean what did you expect? All that space diabeetus really takes its toll on your circulation. Luckily glove technology is so advanced that Vader was able to lead a somewhat normal, albeit excruciatingly painful life.

Our lack of Vader discussion was disturbing, so we decided to bust out a Darth Vader two-parter!

Join us for part 1 and dive deep into the personhood of Darth Vader.

If it weren't for that nice man on Tatooine finally testing that poor kid's blood for juvenile diabeetus, we wouldn't have a story and you wouldn't have a definitive answer for what the plural of 'menace' is.

After a months-long embedded assignment within the Stormtrooper academy, we’re back! Inspired by a listener question, in this episode, we explore the good, the bad and the useless Stormtrooper lore.

Including:

  • The waning numbers of clones within the ranks
  • A utility belt that puts Batman to shame
  • Stormtrooper taxonomy
  • Is that a Thermos of soup on their back?
  • The real reason why they’re such bad shots

DISCLAIMER: This episode contains mild Marvel Star Wars spoilers and a lot of Force Awakens conjecture that’s been rendered obsolete since trailer 3.

What do you get when a dork goes to town on Shakespeare's MacBeth? Meet Orion Couling: the closest thing to a real life Jedi Master (or Sith Lord?) we'll probably come across. Listen in as Nick, Patrick and Alex's force ghost grills Orion about everything he's working on MacSith, general combat choreography, and his theater company E.D.G.E. And by "grill", we mean turn the mic and swoon like the fanboys we are.

Learn more about Orion and E.D.G.E at edgeoforion.com.
If you're going to be in Chicago between now and June 14th, come see MacSith!

Here's the one where we wax philosophic about the Disney acquisition. Does Leia meet the criteria for being a Disney Princess? Where does her character go from here in the Disney-verse? Are our collective childhoods safe from Mickey's gloved hands? Somewhere is there a clone of Walt Disney locked in a basement writing every screenplay for the next 10 years?

These are things we lie awake at night thinking about.

As if it wasn't horrible enough to feature man-eating, religious zealot teddy bears in Return of the Jedi, they had to throw in a man-eating pit too. Oh, but that's just what happens on the surface (literally). Join us while we deconstruct the inner-workings (literally) of the sarlacc pit. Who knows, you might think it's just the cozy getaway you were looking for. So come on in, there's a spot for you (literally).
