As live-action Star Wars shows have paused for the moment, our trio of rebels have continued with their review of Star Wars: Rebels with season 2! This is Maff’s first time watching too, so hearing his reactions is very interesting!
In more detail, this episode is a sequel to the first season of Rebels and the trio’s first RR episode, so make sure you go back and listen to that if you haven’t already, but in this episode, they discuss how season 2 feels different from season 1, it’s comparisons to Andor and the best & worst parts of the show (including sound design). Maff then notes how he’s been consuming far more Star Wars content than he expected, Dave talks about The Clone Wars and then they discuss Hondo Ohnaka and the purrgils. The trio then delve into Ahsoka’s character and of course, the finale; Twilight Of The Apprentice!
You can listen to this on any podcast app, or watch the video version at https://youtube.com/genuinechitchat!

The previous episode of GCC (ep 193) Mike spoke with Lisa Baker; author of 3 published children’s books (with more to come), who has also come back from 8 months of travelling around the world, to talk about her process and her travels! He duo talk about why Lisa wrote the books and how she got into her teaching career, the need for a “thirst for knowledge” and how teaching has impacted her life outside of her career. Halfway through, the conversation then shifts to how Lisa & her husband managed to travel for 8 months, how the travelling has changed their perspectives and how important it’s been for personal growth, her future in publishing and more!
