Best of Growing Up Skywalker
Ahsoka: “Part Five: Shadow Warrior”
Our discussion of Ahsoka’s fifth installment, “Shadow Warrior,” centers on the Jedi Trials, the Hero’s Journey, and Ahsoka’s profound self-growth. Her rebirth into Ahsoka the White and a dreamy purrgil Force connection scene make this one of the most majestic chapters in her journey so far—and there’s still plenty more to come.
Ahsoka: “Part Four: Fallen Jedi”
In Ahsoka’s fourth episode, “Fallen Jedi,” a cascade of escalating duels marks the most impactful episode of the series so far. And when the unprepared (Ahsoka, Sabine) meet the prepared (Baylan, Morgan, Shin), things go bad VERY quickly.
Ahsoka: “Part Three: Time to Fly”
What a banger! What a bop! Ahsoka’s third episode, “Time to Fly,” isn’t just a visual and auditory delight—it also reframes what it means to be Force-sensitive.
Ahsoka: “Part Two: Toil and Trouble”
Double double…We’ve got two master/apprentice pairs mixing up all kinds of mischief in Ahsoka’s second installment, “Toil and Trouble.”
Ahsoka Season 1 Premiere: “Part One: Master and Apprentice”
In “Part One: Master and Apprentice,” we catch up with General Syndulla (busy AF), Sabine Wren (lost and traumatized), and Ahsoka Tano (just too competent for her own good).
But EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, we meet Baylan Skoll, Shin Hati, and a slightly snarkier Morgan Elsbeth. They look great. And they symbolize the threat of rising fascism across the galaxy.
The Mandalorian Season 3 Finale: “The Return”
The action-packed conclusion to The Mandalorian brings laughs, drama, and really closes the loop on the themes of the whole series. We compare two big bads of the empire, Moff Gideon and Grand Admiral Thrawn; and worry about how we still don't know where Big Blue is (or what nefariousness he's up to). We also talk about the future of Mandalore as defined by its past and by its potential.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 23: “The Spies”
“The Spies” (The Mandalorian, Chapter 23) presents a real good news/bad news situation for the Mandalorians.
The good news: Mandalore is habitable! The tribes have united! There are only a few terrible megafauna left to terrorize the planet!
The bad news: The Imperial remnants have formed a Shadow Council following up on allllllll of their predecessors’ special interests, and Moff Gideon is angling to be their boss.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 22: “Guns For Hire”
In the Mandalorian’s Chapter 22, “Guns For Hire,” we parse the depth and breadth of droid rights while we try to figure out if Plazir-15 (ruled over by Duchess Lizzo and Captain Jack Black Bombardier) actually is the yogurt commercial utopia of our dreams.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 21: “The Pirate”
How much does independence from the New Republic matter to you when you’re being shelled by sentient algae pirate king Gorian Shard? That’s the question Greef Karga and all of Nevarro have to answer this week in The Mandalorian, Chapter 21: “The Pirate.”
The Mandalorian, Chapter 20: “The Foundling”
This week, we’re recapping the mythology-filled midpoint of the Mandalorian’s third season, “The Foundling” (Chapter 20). We parse the effects of Mandalorian myth, legend, and custom on the Children of the Watch’s community. We wonder whether Bo-Katan will stay, and where Kelleran Beq went. And we ask the real heavy-hitting questions about having sons and daughters when you belong to a society where no one takes their helmets off.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 19: “The Convert”
The Mandalorian’s nineteenth chapter, “The Convert,” takes us through two action-packed plotlines: Bo-Katan and Din Djarin’s acceptance into the Children of the Watch, and Dr. Pershing’s struggle to assimilate into the New Republic.
The Mandalorian, Chapter 18: “The Mines of Mandalore”
How scary could the troglodyte-indested mines underneath a thoroughly bombed wasteland planet really be? With a lot of “But wait, there's more” energy, this week’s episode, “The Mines of Mandalore” (Season 3, Chapter 18) brings the action!
The Mandalorian Season 3 Premiere: “The Apostate”
The Mandalorian’s third series opens with “The Apostate,” and a tempting array of side quests: Spelunking into the Mines of Mandalore, rebuilding IG-11, rejoining the Children of the Watch, and actively parenting Grogu. What will Mando choose?
The Book of Boba Fett Finale: “In the Name of Honor” (Season 1, Episode 7)
In our recap of the Book of Boba Fett series finale, we discuss Boba Fett’s big Mandalorian energy and how he has truly been reborn a Tusken. We talk about war—and what comes next—and chart out the possible ramifications of Grogu’s choice. The vibes? Hopeful. The aesthetics? Impeccable. This is a stellar way to close out a show.
The Book of Boba Fett: “From The Desert Comes a Stranger” (Season 1, Episode 6)
Spaghetti Western truly meets space opera in The Book of Boba Fett’s “From The Desert Comes a Stranger” (Season 1, Episode 6).
The Book of Boba Fett: “Return of the Mandalorian” (Season 1, Episode 5)
Is this Book of Boba Fett episode…also the best episode of The Mandalorian?? In “The Return of the Mandalorian” (Season 1, Episode 5), we get exactly zero Boba Fett, but we do get to revel in Din Djarin’s return to the small screen, Peli Moto’s utter hamminess, and the deep lore of the Children of the Watch.
The Book of Boba Fett: “The Gathering Storm” (Season 1, Episode 4)
As The Book of Boba Fett hits its midpoint in “The Gathering Storm” (Season 1, Episode 4), we take a critical look at its structure and debate whether this story would have been stronger told chronologically.
The Book of Boba Fett: “The Streets of Mos Espa” (Season 1, Episode 3)
If you’re all about vengeance, style, and speeder scooter gangs, "The Streets of Most Espa" is the episode for you. The Book of Boba Fett’s third episode takes on the fun topics of colonization, organized crime, and violence—and makes them thrilling, stylish, harrowing, and even somewhat silly.
The Book of Boba Fett: “The Tribes of Tatooine” (Season 1, Episode 2)
Is “The Tribes of Tatooine” the best live-action Star Wars episode yet? If not—it’s pretty dang close. The Book of Boba Fett’s second episode delivers a transcendent work of art that dives into the colonization of the Tusken people, ritual and rebirth, and the optics of power in Mos Espa and across the Dune Sea.
The Book of Boba Fett Premiere: “Stranger in a Strange Land”
It’s not as pulpy or epic as Robert Rodriguez’s previous Boba Fett-centric episode (“The Tragedy”), but some shots of The Book of Boba Fett’s premiere, “Stranger in a Strange Land”—like Boba Fett’s fist punching through the sands of Tatooine—are straight out of a comic book panel.
