  • Arcing Like A Gray Rainbow (Heir To The Empire)
    2026/07/13

    Season Two of We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar is here, as Ecumenical Datte and Liturgical Moruss begin our campaign to make enemies of the entire Star Wars fandom by not liking Heir To The Empire by Timothy Zahn very much! Reading an actual novel was truly a balm after the absolute slog that was the Ewoks, but, well, unfortunately it's racist and the character writing is mostly flat. We do absolutely love Mara Jade though! Where'd this noir femme fatale come from anyway?! Return in two weeks to be even further alienated by our thoughts on the second entry in the trilogy, Dark Force Rising.

  • We Will Speak No More Of This Now (Ewoks Comic)
    2026/06/29

    Sweet release has come for us. Season One is over, and we're done with the Ewoks era of Star Wars – or at least, we will be after this episode. Hosts Nerdley and Fungo discuss the Ewoks Comics, including the three short stories published in the UK exclusive Ewoks Annual. Well, technically. We spend more time discussing the overall problem with the Ewoks era than we spend discussing the specific problems with this comic. Which are plentiful, by the way. To sum it up, we're angry about children's media being so disrespectful of children. You need to write to the top of the audience's intelligence!

    Topics of the day include: Complementarianism, Georgism, Franchisification, Dooni the Baby Foonar, Animism, Bifrost, Amphibia, Half-Life Full-Life Consequences, Ace of the Royal Flush Gang, The Lack Of Clowns

  • Will Our Trials Never End (Droids (1986))
    2026/06/15

    Welcome back to the penultimate episode of the Ewoks era of We Have To Talk About Dash Rendar! Afit & Tifa are here for the Droids comic (1986) and it's. well. Better than the tv show. There's some mild fun to be had here. The low point is a retelling of A New Hope starring the droids that completely sidesteps the obvious premise of Artoo and Threepio Are Dead to instead feature moles. Then, Afit & Tifa completely sidestep talking about it to discuss how cute Dodogama is. We have to get our yaoi somewhere! That's. Not related to Dodogama. sorry.

  • Eat Worms And Die, Stranger (Ewoks Season 2)
    2026/06/01

    Oh god. no. Join Lezchee Lordyke and Wheytlae for. Christ. Ewoks Season 2. This one was rough, gang. A show that really typifies the problems with Saturday morning cartoons. What a struggle. I can't wait to stop thinking about this. Wheytlae alleges someone is a psychopomp, as is their wont. We disavow the Pugs. Why was this show so racist. Nothing mattered. There was a robot which was almost nice? Help. Join us in 2 weeks for the Droids comic. Doug Doug & The Ploob

  • Like Chewie Said, The Situation Is Disgusting (Omnibus A Long Time Ago... Vol 5 Pt 2)
    2026/05/18

    Join Spoom and Ladel again for the back half of Omnibus A Long Time Ago… Volume 5 as we close out the Star Wars Marvel Comics with issues 97-107! After a brief stopoff to discuss Droids… again… and roast James Hurley, we get to how much we enjoyed these issues! We've got some problems of course, but we do love Marvel Horseshit. Do you think Mary Jo Duffy likes Go Nagai?

  • Isn't That Just A Little Bit Grandiose? (Omnibus A Long Time Ago... Vol 5 Pt 1)
    2026/05/04

    Join Spoom and Ladel as we discuss the first half of Omnibus A Long Time Ago… Volume 5, Issues 86 - 96 of the original Marvel Star Wars run. This was mostly fun! The parts that weren't really pissed us off though. There's even an echo of Splinter of the Mind's Eye Leia… But also a full refusal of her? Truly the Marvel comics are a land of contrasts.

  • Something Terrible Is Happening Here (The Great Heep)
    2026/04/20

    Join Mallow and Busto as they discuss The Great Heep, the TV "movie" of Star Wars: Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO. Well it's better than the TV series! It's bad, though. The best part is the Droid Snuff. In both senses.
