SHOW & MOVIE REVIEWS

Our most detailed and live action-y enhanced podcast to date. 

A highly recommended watch for anyone wanting to re-live the show and look deeper into its themes and influences.  (Although if you click the link and it goes nowhere, Disney's legal team clearly didn't agree.)

Join Stu, Jez, Craig and Dan for a big watch-along as we start to get into our special month of Attack of the Clones shows. 

As longtime fans who are heavily invested in Star Wars, what exactly does everyone think to this film? Which bits work and which bits don’t? And what tidbits of info have stayed lodged in our brains all these years?

Consider this your formal invitation to hang out with the boys for 2 hours and 25 minutes as they candidly air their views in real time.

Our most detailed and live action-y enhanced podcast to date. 

A highly recommended watch for anyone wanting to re-live the show and look deeper into its themes and influences. 

Now that the dust, sand and spice has settled, the Generation Skywalker syndicate takes an in-depth, spoilery look at all seven episodes of the recent The Book of Boba Fett TV series. 

We chart the highs and lows, shine a light on the main references to the wider Star Wars saga and painstakingly try to capture the bulk of the nods the show constantly makes to other classic movies.

With the benefit of few week’s distance and repeated viewings, the team also bring their personal stand-out moments to the table, as well as their own interpretations of some of the many themes the series explores.

It all makes for a great podcast. 

And an even better video! 

Click on this watch-along version of our second trailer show and see all the trailers as we discuss them, in real time, all in one place.

The audio version is there for you to enjoy too, but with a show like this, the video version comes into its own.

If there was a shortcut to a Star Wars master's degree, this episode could be the primary dissertation and a really enlightening and enjoyable one at that. 

Take your seats with the Generation Skywalker crew as they conduct a deep dive analysis of the Prequel trailers from the very first teaser for The Phantom Menace, to the hidden ‘mystery’ trailer for Attack Of The Clones and the arguably show-all spoiler trailer for Revenge Of The Sith.

Add in a selection of fan-made trailers and you have the full set. Jez is joined by Grant, Craig, Stu and Dan to dissect the trailers and give everyone a new hope for the prequels. This will make you want to rewatch them all! Seriously.

There's an audio version of this show available, but to really get the best out of this discussion we recommend you give the video a watch.    

Every trailer referenced is collated here, along with a few bonus extras.

Jez guides the team through a look-back at the cinema trailers of the  Original Trilogy, in the first of a three-part series exploring how the  promotion of the Star Wars saga has changed through the years. 

From the cheese fests of the 70s, through to the current trailers on Disney+ – we start our journey with a palette-cleansing sample of big  movie trailers from 1977, before moving on to the very first Star Wars  teaser.

 Join us as we discuss how the art of the trailer has grown from editing a  few clips with some stand-in music and a voiceover, to the kind of thing  that has halls full of people crying real tears at Star Wars Celebration.

Experiencing The Star Wars Holiday Special with your ears is one thing – actually witnessing it with your own eyes is another thing entirely.    

This enhanced version fuses clips from the much maligned 1978 TV special with stills and other material to bring our in-depth overview to life.

Following on from our Holiday Special 'Special', Dan, Craig, Stuart and Jez get together to watch the Holiday Special in it's entirety. 

What new insights and observations will they offer up?

At the time of recording, none of them have watched it for many years (apart from Jez who made his wife watch it just 24 hours before!) and we're inviting you to listen along to their reactions as they happen.

There's even a little bit of post show analysis as they each give it a  rating out of ten. Will there be high scores all round? Or will there be  detractors?

The perfect companion to SHOW 030.

"It makes us smile, but only because we are laughing at the utter  horror. We laugh to avoid the pain." – Mark Beall

"Words have not been invented to describe how bad it is." – Alex Carter 

We could go on, but is The Star  Wars Holiday Special really as bad as its reputation? Jez, Craig and Stuart to try to answer that question as they look into variety shows of the time, the plot, the music, the cast, crew and much more. 

The boys also draw up their own Holiday Specials for a post-Force Awakens Disney release – Will Poe and BB-8 deliver salt from Crait to the Resistance to save Christmas Dinner? Will the 60 minute makeover team be able to rebuild Maz's castle? Will Han Solo's send off be as  crazy as Ackmena using a conga to clear a Cantina? Listen in and decide  for yourselves.
