The Force of Course: Your Bite-Sized Star Wars Podcast

The gang watches,recaps and discusses StarWars Theory's Vader fan film episodes 1 & 2. Titled "Shards of the Past" and "Echoes of the Jedi" respectively, these are a fun watch and well worth checking out!

Fucking Spotify took this episode down for no good reason. This is the one where Glen from Smuggler's Galaxy podcast is our very special guest and we list songs to represent characters from the Rebels animated series.

Lauren delivers her book report on The Wrath of Darth Maul. Oh what a talented three year old!

Just like the title says, the gang reviews the Mandalorian and Grogu and doesn't hold back spoilers. If you haven't watched the movie, why in the hell are you reading this episode description?

The gang finishes their recap of the Maul: Shadow Lord animated first season. Also, Ted relives a repressed memory, Lauren likes books, and Andrew hates trailers. Enjoy!

The gang recaps episodes 3-6 of Maul: Shadow Lord and probably has too much fun doing it.

We take some time to reintroduce ourselves by way of listing off our top three this, that and the other, because lists are cool! Right??? But then, Andrew gets mad about high-def pics of Pluto. That's weird.

The gang recaps the first two episodes of Maul: Shadow Lord. They also discuss some Marvel series, so there's that.

The gang learns a little (very little) about the Kenner line of toys released for A New Hope. Lauren and Andrew argue over the functions of Lauren's trash can. And Ted reveals that he was a hillbilly as a child.

The gang watches all the key episodes of The Clone Wars that could potentially tie into the upcoming Maul: Shadow Lord series.

The gang escapes the Trandoshan arena and struggles to evade recapture.

The gang discusses the Superbowl TV spot for Mando and Grogu as well as the actual trailer for the film. Introspection, speculation and other big words abound!

Ted continues to teach Andrew and Lauren about the original Kenner toy line and then challenges them to meet Kenner's energy in the current Mandoverse climate.

The gang discusses the content we received in 2025, their thoughts on things to come in 2026 AND the conversation wanders into other content, not so much related to Star Wars. Imagine that.

You may bethinking to yourself, didn't I already listen to this episode? It's possible. But something funny happened and the episode up and disappeared at some point. So here it is again for anyone that may have missed it before. Force of Course family member Andy joins us to discuss his Star Wars journey among other things. Never a dull moment when he's around. We hope you enjoy! And if you do...check out Largely Unlikable, the comedy adjacent podcast we did together!

Ted teaches the gang about toys, specifically a bit about the first twelve Kenner Star Wars figures released back in 1978....BEFORE ELECTRICITY!!!

The gang reviews the latest Lego animated series. Mostly, we wonder why it exists.

The gang takes a look at the teaser trailer for Mando and Grogu. They also discuss Superman, The Black List, Wednesday season 2 and more.

The gang watches 2022's The Batman and gives their odd brand of colorful commentary. Edward Cullen investigates a brutal murder and follows clues left behind by The Asker....or something like that.

The gang takes time away from Star Wars coverage to watch The Batman. The true story of how a sweet orphan becomes a well adjusted young man who definitely doesn't live a secret life as a vigilante. This trailer also discusses our process for picking content (very scientific).
