    About this Episode

    “Mythology is about what it is to not just be deeply human, but humane." ~ Anne Convery

    The Clone Wars animated series has ended, but the stories live on in an upcoming book The Clone Wars: Stories of Light and Dark coming August 25th. On this episode we sit down with one of its author, Anne Convery, to talk about her experience studying myth and fairytales as well as the conclusion of Ahsoka's journey in The Clone Wars. The conversation ranges from Disney movies to Lord of the Rings, cosplaying to Animal Crossing, vision quests to finding yourself. As the wife of showrunner Dave Filoni, she has some interesting insight that fans will enjoy.

    “Owls, they’re mysterious, they’re nighttime. In a lot of cultures they mean death, or harbingers of death; as well as tied to wisdom.”

    Ep 23.9 Star Trek X Star Wars

    Over in our Facebook Page Bill Beechler challenged Sarah Woloski and Tricia Barr to talk about Star Trek. As long-time fans of both Star Wars and Star Trek, we accepted. There has been a long relationship between the franchises; George Lucas went to Trek conventions and Gene Rodenberry helped celebrate Star Wars’ 10 year anniversary. We explore the history between the two, discuss whether a rivalry truly exists, and the ways each has influenced the other. The episode includes ideas where to start for Star Wars fans who want to get into Star Trek and what lessons they could learn from the other. Not to be missed is our look at the first three episodes of Strange New Worlds Season 2, which is a great launching point for newbies. Ad astra!
