Rogue One

The Last Jedi
Sorry, you can’t return that Jedi. It was our last one.
The Force Awakens
…then the Force hit the snooze button and slept for nine more minutes.
Revenge of the Sith
Sith. Siththththth. It’s like the most evil-sounding made-up word ever.
Attack of the Clones
Now, the thing about clones is, if you provoke ‘em, you’re in trouble. The post 21. Attack of the Clones appeared first on Chipperish Media.
The Phantom Menace
Man, those phantoms sure are menacing. I hope they turn out not be a big deal.
Return of the Jedi
This Jedi doesn’t fit. Can I return it?
The Empire Strikes Back
If the Empire Strikes twice more after this, they’re out. The post 18. The Empire Strikes Back appeared first on Chipperish Media.

Star Wars canon is incredibly slippery, and has been a shifting landscape since literally the first movie. What does it mean that Disney eradicated most of it when the...
Ship Names Other Than “Reylo”
What would you name a spaceship if you had one, and what does that say about you? Obviously I have no idea, but here’s a discussion of some ship names from Star Wars.
Why Do Blenders Have Feelings?
They can talk, translate, and navigate through space, but they’re still second class. What exactly is the place of droids in the Star Wars galaxy? The post #9. Why Do ...
Irresistible Forces
How did we get to episode eight without talking about the Force? Time to fix that. The post Metaphors #8. Irresistible Forces appeared first on Chipperish Media.
Who Are You Again?
Turns out identity issues are a major theme in Star Wars. This whole discussion comes from Rob really liking a particular moment in an episode of Rebels.
Hands Off!
Did you ever really *look* at Luke’s hand?
Nature vs. Technology
Everyone knows about the struggle of good and evil in Star Wars, but there’s another huge conflict happening alongside it: nature and technology.
A New Trope
In response to the previous episode, this discussion will be about the politics that are likely not intentional but nevertheless are present in Lucas’s Star Wars movie.
Social Justice Star Warriors
Like all art in the history of humanity, Star Wars is political. Here’s a look at some of the intentional politics of Lucas’s original six movies. The post Metaphors #...
Black and White, etc.
Star Wars is pretty colorful, except when it’s totally black and white. We’ll talk about what it means that different original-trilogy characters are associated with d...
Star Wars on Star Wars
In a twist, it turns out that Star Wars can be a metaphor for Star Wars (all right, this episode is about intertextuality, but that doesn’t sound as cool). The post Me...
