Star Wars Nerds Unite

The SWNU crew discuss Andor. May the 4th be with you.

We discuss the seventh episode of the first season of the Mandalorian. 

We discuss the sixth episode of the first season of The Mandalorian. 

We discuss the fifth episode of the first season of The Mandalorian. 

An episode to bring us up to date with reality. Almost.

The SWNU crew breaks down the last two episodes of the Obi-Wan Kenobi mini-series. Then we heard from the listeners. Be sure to send in more letters. We read them. Sorry for the delay, we had a technical issue whereby I thought I'd posted the episode but it hadn't been processed yet. So no file. Anyway, hope ya'll are doing well. Thanks for coming. See you later. Bye.

The Nerds Unite crew get together to discuss the latest episode in the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+.  We snuck some folks in under a cloak, exposed hidden underwater access hatches, and got our Obi-Wan training montage.   

Darth Vader and Obi-Wan power-walk in this episode and it's super intense.  Episode 3 brings Obi-Wan and Leia into danger and Vader is hot on their heels. Join Tim, Jen, and Mason as they discuss the ins and outs of this episode.   

We are back.  It's fitting that Obi-Wan decided to come back at the same time that we did...since he's such a fan of ours and all. We discuss the new Star Wars show, Obi-Wan Kenobi's debut episodes. Jenny gives a four-hour synopsis on the first episode and Josh does ten minutes on episode two.  After we tear into the Deborah Chow-directed show, we talk about Star Wars Celebration 2022 and Flea. 

Just kidding. We're moving. If you're looking for an episode where people talk a lot about Star Wars, this probably isn't it. Check out one of the previous 165 episodes for that. This episode is really just three friends that haven't seen each other in 6 months chatting it up and having a good time doing it.  Nerds Unite Studios is officially moving out of its wasp infested teepee. As we move into the new Van Autreve Manor, there will be yet another pause in the podcast. BUT. Josh and I are building a recording studio in an unfinished piece of the new house. It'll be optimized for streaming, climate controlled, rectangular prism shaped, and so sound proofed, anyone entering it will only be able to hear the beating of their own hearts in their ears.  Anyway, this is the end of Season 1. Season 2 starts with the same format as before except video and regular podcasting again.  (Chris, we will need a schematic for the new studio, asap.)

Baby Yoda drinks bone broth like a hipster.   What could be better for Black Friday than watching the Mandalorian then tuning in to Star Wars Nerds Unite to get that sweet, sweet commentary? Certainly better than braving the crowds for sales that have already been going on for 6 weeks.    Anyway, Tim, Jen, and Mason jabber on about The Mandalorian and is ever growing collection of family members. And a red eyed AT-ST. Baby Yoda was so cute in this episode it made me want to adopt him even if he can be tracked.    Email Feedback! letters@starwarsnerdsunite.com Follow Us On Twitter @StarWarsNU@timvanautreve@safetyguy14 @superjen82 Follow Us on the Internets (Rate the podcast, #nerdsquadron!):StarWarsNerdsUnite.comApple PodcastsStitcher Branding provided by art stud, Jesus Gonzalez.  #starwars #podcast #muster #swnu #babyyoda #themandalorian #disneyplus

Tim, Jen, and Mason, talk Claudia Gray's Master and Apprentice. This novel is set before the events of Episode I, The Phantom Menace. Qui-Gon and Obi-wan's relationship is explored deeply in this masterfully written novel. As usual, Jen does the synopsis and Mason does the interrupting corrections. We dig in a bit on our thoughts on Disney+ streaming platform launching in November 2019 and the excitement surrounding The Mandalorian.  Tim discusses Volume 1 of the Doctor Aphra comic book.  No fan feedback.  #nerdsquadron #muster #starwars #swnu #masterandapprentice    Email Feedback! letters@starwarsnerdsunite.com Follow Us On Twitter @StarWarsNU@timvanautreve@safetyguy14 @superjen82 Follow Us on the Internets (Rate the podcast, #nerdsquadron!):StarWarsNerdsUnite.comApple PodcastsStitcher Branding provided by art stud, Jesus Gonzalez.  #starwars #podcast #muster #swnu
