Well, here we are at the end of The Acolyte. It was a heck of a ride but aren't we right back right where we started, with the twins swapping place, minus a truck load of Jedi and add in a Senate review? It was a strange path to get here and I'm sorry we didn't get to spend more time with the Jedi we lost. Indara, Kelnacca, Torbin, Sol, Yord, Jecki…

Who is the Acolyte? Darryl, our amazing editor, has a HOT TAKE on just who he thinks is the Acolyte and I must say, it is plausable. With all the "captain obvious" writing so far, to pull a fast one would be the best redemption. Hunter and Jessica sit down to discuss this episode, and a few other Star Wars related things along the way. Just remembe…

It doesn't take long for the parent trap to fall apart. I don't think Qimir was confused for a second but it did take Sol a moment or two. Thanks to Bazil and Pip! So, who is being taught and who is being corrupted? Which side is right? Which side is wrong?

Well, here we are at Night. Nothing good happens at 3am. Nothing. This is why everyone is just doomed right from the start. It's a Jedi shish-ka-bob of the worst kid, with a Parent Trap at the end and a mole/tracker dude who can sniff out the difference. If the identity of the "stranger" wasn't the mystery, what is? Yet again leaving us with more q…

Day will eventually turn into night but not before we set the stage for Qimir to be the dark lord? Or is he? Osha and Jecki share a moment talking about death, ya, that sounds fun. Speaking of dead, RIP Kelnacca. I so wanted to see more of you! And all of this ends with the classic cliff-hanger that we've come to love in episodic Star Wars. Up next…

This episode really left us with more questions than answers! Even though it was meant to be a backstory, we're still wondering about the WHOLE backstory. Nonetheless, we uncovered thrilling details about Osha, Mae, and the Mothers on Brendock. From a new ceremony to the extraordinary powers of the twins, it was an episode packed with surprises. Th…

Welcome to a new era of Star Wars! This week we have a special guest when our editor supreme Darryl takes to the mic to give us some High Republic way-back story. Then we dive head-first into the Acolyte to discover this new world. Biggest questions of the day? Who doesn't love a shirtless Jedi steaming his robes? Where is the Sith? And did we alre…

Next to last - we are all scared to lose any member of the Bad Batch. The pieces are all on the chessboard. How will we wrap this up in one episode?

I'm not crying, you're crying. We say goodbye to our friends the Bad Batch in this series finale episode, The Cavalry Has Arrived. Seems the squad has chosen family and freedom, showcasing their loyalty to one another. We see a few characters exit, and at least one with spin-off possibilities (yes, please!). A fitting end to the most emotionally at…

Who would have thought Rampart would play the straight man to the Bad Batch's comedic genius? At least this one had some light elements to it. And who wants to hang with Wrecker scrolling on their devices? I do! This episode was a return to the familiar by-the-skin-of-their-teeth "I can't believe they got away with it" programming. Thank goodness! …

This was a hard one, folks. That one-two gut punch of Episodes 10 and 11 were hard to get through. This isn't for kids, that's for sure. We're marching towards Palpatine cloning himself at the expense of anyone and anything that may be able to help him. And Hemlock is just as bad. This is evil beyond evil - the stuff we don't like living rent free …

Our old friend Fennec is back with information for our friends Hunter and Wrecker, or is she? While our BB friends help Fennec take down an evil Praying Mantis, she promises some information on this mysterous M-count. So mysterous in fact that I FORGOT to publish this last week. Apologies to Darryl, our epic editor. Do or do not, there is no try.…

Somehow, Ventress lives! Continuing the saga of how characters are seemingly left for dead, only to return and pronounce "I've got a few lives left!" We can't wait to see where this goes and where Omega ends up. This unlikely pairing is just the duo we need to propel us from Bad Batch to the Omega show. Bring it on!…

The redemption of Cross Hair and the Return of Rex and Wolfe! 3 amazing episodes and we cover it all! Why is it always another space monster? Thank you, Wrecker! And Rex proves, once again, what a leader he is. Oh, and Batcher climbs ladders. Join us!

We loved this episode and it shows! Join Hunter and Jessica as we delve into this episode scene by scene and explore all the questions you may be having like "Why the one glove, Hemlock?", "Why the long face Nala Se?", "Aren't you a little big to be a pet dog?" and "Why are Hunter and Wrecker staring a Crosshair?". Did this episode make you laugh? …

Let's dive in to some deep Phantom Menace thoughts. Why was there a blockade? Who is the Trade Federation? Why did they target Naboo? Was Uncle Palps playing Almidala all the way back then? Taking advantage of such a young girl, shame on you Sheev! Join Hunter and Jessica as we have a conversation with our very first interview! Yes, Steven Chung wh…

What did you do for Life Day? Did you don your red robe and pass around the orb? Probably not. Neither did we. But we did record a podcast in honor of the biggest "what were they thinking?" question in all of Star Wars history. So to celebrate, Hunter and Jessica explore some of their favorite "what were they thinking" characters. Who made our top …

Well, we made it to the end of the season - not the series. There is no way this is the end. This episode asked more questions than answered them. Thrawn and Ezra go home, Morgan gets a promotion and then sacrifices herself, Sabine redeems herself, Ahsoka shows off her light saber skills with some killer moves, Shin joins the Red Tuscan Raiders and…

Hera's on trial? Leia (via C-3PO) saves her? And she warns the simply dressed Mon that Thrawn is a very real threat! Meanwhile back in the hyperspace rainbow, Ahsoka and Huyang are light speeding towards Peridia and we get some great Purrgil action! Sabine and Ezra get caught up (sort of) and Baylan and Shin break up. Guys, I'm getting a feeling ab…

Purrgil calls, rainbow hyperspace, Great Mothers, Night Troopers, Cargo transfers, Howlers and Turtle creatures, oh my! Is this an even wilder ride than episode 5? This new galaxy has officially blown our MINDS! Engage with us: FB: The Purrgil Pod ThePurrgilPod@gmail.com Give us 5-Stars, leave a glowing review, help spread the Purrgil Pod around!!…

Well, we knew this was gonna be a big one and Filoni did not disappoint. Jacen saves the day, Carson tells the truth, Ahsoka the WHITE and your weekly bible fable all come to life here because Ahsoka chooses to LIVE. Oh, did we mention live action Clone Wars? What the what? In Dave Filoni we trust. 12/10, I highly recommend! Join us!!! FB: The Purr…

Just when you think it can't get any better, here comes Episode 4. From Rock'em Sock'em Robots, to witchcraft possession, some amazing lightsaber duels and ultimately Sophie's choice that lands Sabine in the Eye and Ahsoda in the World Between Worlds. Spectacular story telling and we break it all down for you. Bring on #5! Join us on FB: The Purrgi…

Episode 3 brings us aboard T6-1974 with Huyang and Sabine running drills, ending with a battle of the force with a tea cup. Mon Mothma! Jacen! Marrok speaks! And probably the best PURRGIL action we've ever seen!! Join the craziness with Jessica and Hunter and if you like what you hear, give us a rating! Tell your friends! Share the Purrgil Love! Fa…

We have been waiting for this beauty for so long and it is finally here! It's officially Ahsoka time! Let's go! Hunter and Jessica get together to discuss the first 2 episodes - over confident new republic, new prison jumpsuits, Witches of Dathomir, Rebels, 75% original parts droids, who's feeding the Loth Cat?, Pathway to Peridea...oh...and PURRGI…

Full-on Filoni Fever Dream! Loth Cats and Loth Wolves, family heirlooms, double-crossing, Governors with bad haircuts, Thrawn being evil, world between worlds and Ahsoka lives!?! If this is Filoni at his animated best, we just can't wait for his live action Ahsoka series on Disney+. Along with the rewatch, we break down every purrgil-loving second …

Wow, what a season! Hair cuts, giant sky moose, RIP Maul, lost relatives, love interests and maybe the Geonoisans aren't gone for good? Our blue friend Thrawn comes into the picture and we visit with our other good friend Saw Gerrera. In the mean time, Kanan and Hera are in some Hallmark romance movie sub-plot and the droids get even weirder. All t…

Karabast! Yes, all 22 Episodes are reviewed here in this episode of the Purrgil Pod - it's like speed dating with Star Wars. Join us as we fast-walk thru each episode to chat about the major scenes and things that impact us down the road including our favorite episode about the PURRGILS!! We just can't get enough of those beautiful purple space wha…

Who else is getting ready for the Ahsoka show? I know we are! So in order to be fully READY for the show, we are rewatching Rebels, as Ahsoka is looking like Rebels, Season 5! So enjoy this trip down memory lane with a flashback to 2014.

May the Fourth Be With You!! We couldn't let THE Star Wars holiday pass by without a fitting Purrgil tribute to the day. Thank the Maker for this glorious galaxy that we love. So many people dropped me a text or comment or sent a "May the fourth be with you" gif. I love them all. So, Happy Star Wars day from The Purrgil Pod to you. Next up: May 5 i…

As the season comes to a close, what did we resolve, what is left open? Was this a satisfying end for Season 3? Does Din prefer sweet tea or beer? So many question, some with answers, some unresolved. IG-Grogu to the rescue! Axe to the rescue! Bo to the rescue! We are filled to the brim with hero's journeys and we are here to talk all about it! Joi…

The Spies - who are the spies?? This episode brings the best from many of the open story lines and we have a lot to say about it - from the return of The Mof, the continuation of Elia Kane, the Mandos, Nevarro and the best invention of IG-Grogu Yes! No! (otherwise known as IG-12!), a Pirates of the Caribbean montage, quiet moments where Din profess…

Romeo and Juliette meets Alice in Wonderland meets Scooby Doo meets Mandalorians hanging out and playing catch!?!?!? Give it up to Bryce Dallas Howard for bringing the ridiculous to life in this cameo-filled episode that gave us an absurd amount of frolic while also advancing the plot along the way. And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't…

Full-on Mando madness continues here at the Purrgil Pod. This week we talk about Manadalorian S3E5 as Jessica does her best to get Hunter's approval of the episode from a 4/10 to an 8/10! We talk pirates with muppet mouths, the Leia maneuver, pockets of fomenting and Jeremy Bulloch. Then we talk about the season cliff hanger of Bad Batch where we d…

It's an all-out FREAK OUT for Mando this week. What the what? We find out who saved Grogu from Order 66 and it couldn't have been any better and in the history of perfect episodes, this one is TOPS! Rumor has it Jessica is still trying to collect herself. A crazy whirlwind of a Mando episode and then The Tipping Point where Crosshair tries (succeed…

These two episodes couldn't be any more different if Dave and John tried. While The Outpost is the dark and gritty tale of Crosshair finally seeing the light, is it too late for him? Why did it have to be so....sad? Compared to Pabu, which is about the lightest episode we've seen, and the BB's version of rainbows and unicorns...when will the other …

Mando-mania all around here - we've got something for everyone - from the dreadful Spider Tank to the Mando and Bo romance sub-plot, to an episode of Andor, and one too many "This is the Way"s for Bo! #PogSoupForBatuu is our mantra these days. Let's get that trending on the Twittersphere! Join us! Facebook - The Purrgil Pod Email ThePurrgilPod@gmai…

Another truly zany breakdown of Bad Batch Season 2 Episodes 9, 10 and 11 where we question the titles in relation to the episode and compare them to Oliver Twist and Indiana Jones, among other things. Why was Omega having such a hard day? Did Tech grow a heart? Why was Jango Fett lacking so much in Emotional Intelligence? These clones need to get w…

You can imagine all the anticipation leading up to the Mando season 3 premier, and then to have PURRGILS 10 minutes into the episode - our minds are BLOWN. Long live the Purrgils! Of course we review the episode beat by beat, including Lake Powell, Pirates of the Caribbean and Maul, with the heart-stopping cuteness of Grogu bear-hugging Babu. What?…

Yes! We are back to some AWESOME Star Wars story telling! Clone rights, political back-stabbing, do-good senators and take-your-orphaned-clone to work day! What's not to love? Maybe the harsh reality that doing the right thing doesn't always mean the right will prevail. Join Hunter and Jessica as they dive head first into the latest from Bad Batch.…

What do Indiana Jones, Speed Racer and the cutest wookie ever have in common? You guessed it, Bad Batch! In this episode, Jessica and Hunter run down episodes 4, 5 and 6 in the Bad Batch, the good, the bad and the super cute! C'mon. Jedi Wookie. You can't get much better than that! Well, may Omega communing with the Trees, that was super cute as we…

Here we are at episode 3 of the Bad Batch - Solitary Clone. As usual, Jessica and Hunter digress early on, get all the names wrong, and somehow manage to still review the episode and throw in a Shrek reference for good measure. We ask, does Crosshair actually have a soul? And what's this "Ghost Track 17" thing? Hunter had a great guess which is now…

Join Hunter and Jessica as they chat about the Season 2 premier of Episodes 1 & 2 of the Bad Batch! What do Pirates of the Caribbean, Pinnocchio and Mean Joe Green have in common? Will Jessica EVER get a ship's name correct? Does the power couple of Dedra and Syril save the day? All that, a life lesson for Omega, a philosophical epiphany for Echo, …

Let's all look up to Maarva Andor as she gives one of the best impassioned speeches that Star Wars has ever heard! "Fight the Empire" - and indeed we do. This week Jessica and Hunter tackle not 1, not 2, but 6 - six - 6 episodes in this fast paced Andor speed dating podcast. Do we love it? You bet we do! Join us on this final fever dream for all th…

S1 E7 Spoiler alert! This week Hunter and Jessica discuss the 6 shorts from Tales of the Jedi. Which did we like better? The Douku or Ahsoka arc? Can you guess? We're back discussing the 3 shorts for each character, what do they add to the character's whole story and why can't Hunter remember the name Yaddle? All this and more in this Dave Filoni a…

Let's talk Andor Episodes 4, 5 and 6. The first rule of the Aldhani heist is that we don't talk about the Aldhani heist, right? Well, we talk about that and more. Will Eedy Karn force her son to break? Will Mon ever get control of her husband and daughter? Will Vel ever her "children" to behave? Prolonged gun fight and more, we talk about every nua…

We've watched Andor Episodes 1, 2 and 3, have awakened from our Andor Fever Dream and ready to talk all about it. Fair warning, SPOILERS ABOUND in this episode of the Purrgil Pod, so if you haven't watched the show yet, and want to remain spoiler free, skip this until you've watched it. Andor is amazing, captivating, 100% Star Wars and we LOVED IT!…
