a Sorta Star Wars podcast

Hello From Elsewhere and welcome to a Sorta Star Wars podcast! This week we are beyond excited to welcome Valerie and Casey Winters from Hello From Elsewhere, a podcast that explores the themes of your favorite movies and books with depth, positivity, and infectious enthusiasm! You might just say its the best collaboration since peanut butter and chocolate! Valerie and Casey are Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, LEGO, Willow, and Pride and Prejudice fans... and so are we! But how did we become involved in these fandoms? And how do we pass these along to our children, while still letting them find their own loves? THESE are the questions we'll be asking on this episode.  We'll also be talking about parenting in general, like our biggest blunders and where we hide the good snacks from the children.  This was such a fun show and we are so glad we got to know Valerie and Casey over the last year or so and even better through this episode. Please check out their podcast anywhere you find podcasts and online at www.wbne.org.  Also you can find them on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/elsewhere_pod/ You can also find us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/sortastarwars/ Don't forget to check out our Patreon to see how you can support the show and get awesome stuff!

The Mandalorian Chapter 8 Review! We may be a little late on this but, like they say, better late than burning alive by your own flamethrower ….. Anyway… Mike and I talk through the last episode of the Mandalorian of this season. It has been our favorite episode so far and seems to be the MOST Star Wars yet. Perfect balance of suspense, action, and comedy. Mando is pinned down and needs to find a way to escape. Luckily our old pal IG-11 is here to save the day… even if its the last thing he’ll do. Literally. We love IG-11 and hate to see him go… but it was a satisfying end to his existence We also finally get a little more backstory on Mando and even a first name. We find out that “Mandalorian” is not a race… but a creed and Baby Yoda is his new foundling. BUT, now he is tasked with returning Baby Yoda to Jedi located on another planet. Are they referring to Luke and Leia? Could Skywalkers be involved in season 2 of the Mandalorian? Only time will tell… ALSO! The dark saber is brought into live-action Star Wars. If you’re not sure what the dark saber is… just watch all the seasons of Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels and you’ll be caught up… cause obviously I couldn’t remember it all.  Be sure to check out our Patreon page to see how you can support this podcast: Patreon.com/sortastarwars Thanks for listening!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! If you could relive any time period in your life, when would you choose? So, it was our original plan to talk about the new Star Wars movie, The Rise of Skywalker, but due to technical difficulties, that episode is going to have to be postponed. Which actually turned out okay because we came up with a really great idea for this episode. Because it’s the new year and new decade, we wanted to take a look back at decades past. We wanted to figure out what decade we would want to live in if we could pick any decade.. but still be in our current living situation… meaning having 4 kids. I was extremely surprised by the decade the Melody picked and she may have even convinced me during the podcast that I picked the wrong one. We go on to discuss why we would pick that time period, what big events took place, and what our lives would look like. We also discuss the possibility of revisiting a decade in our own lives. What decade would you want to relive? We actually both ended up picking the same time period, but that’s pretty understandable because of all the life-changing things that happened. Things like marriage, kids, graduating, buying a house, all have a big impact on the rest of your life. And honestly it all goes so fast. If there’s anything you can do to fully take in every second of your life, do it. We ended with a quote from a movie we both love (About Time): “I just try to live every day as if I’ve deliberately come back to this one day to enjoy it as if it was the full final day of my extraordinary, ordinary life. We’re all traveling through time, together, everyday of our lives…. All we can do is do our best to relish this remarkable ride.” And those words can be your New Years Resolution for the next 100 years! Thanks everyone for listening!
