We've made it to the origin of the little green freak who torments us The Empire Strikes Back! We also consider if, in a way, ESB is where "Star Wars" as we know it today really begins!

Glad to help such a good cause! Good luck with your bunny.
My internet is down, so I can’t upload the file tonight 🙃
Look for it tomorrow morning/early afternoon, once Spectrum gets me Internet back

Hey y'all, Part 1 (😩) of our Star Wars episode is still in the edit, and will be coming later tonight!
Hey everyone, the east coast blizzard has kept us from being able to record our normal episode this week, but we thankfully DID get the February bonus pod in the can before it hit, and that is now live in the Patreon feed!

Whew, we made it! Thanks for your patience everyone, hopefully we can send you into Friday with these 5 star runtimes!

Hey everyone, we just finished recording our final Revenge of the Sith (Novelization) ep, and it's uhhhh a Long One, so expect it sometime tomorrow!
As promised, here we are talking through 2003's Clone Wars cartoon! Well... At least the first half of it. We went long and needed to pause and come back next time for more!

It's on DVD (maybe at your library) and the whole thing is available (yahoo anime rules) in really easily accessible on both a common online archive and The Video Streaming Site if you do some simple searches
Screenshot from the 2003-2005 Clone Wars tv show, featuring (long hair) Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, lightsabers draw, standing in a battlefield underneath a number of Republic Cruisers.
January's Patreon ep will be coming later this week. Instead of a Q&A on a book we're only 2/3rds of the way through, though, we'll finally be watching and talking one of the most important Prequel-era works we've yet to cover...
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Padme the Wife? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you.

Hey folks! Illness has struck the AMCA Starcruiser, so we’ve been unable to record, and we absolutely need a full crew to tackle this next set of chapters. We’ll be back next week!
@robzacny.bsky.social @morecivilized.bsky.social Holy shit.
This, then, is Obi-Wan and Anakin: They are closer than friends. Closer than brothers. Though Obi-Wan is sixteen standard years Anakin’s elder, they have become men together. Neither can imagine life without the other. The war has forged their two lives into one. The war that has done this is not the Clone Wars; Obi-Wan and Anakin’s war began on Naboo, when Qui-Gon Jinn died at the hand of a Sith Lord. Master and Padawan and Jedi Knights together, they have fought this war for thirteen years. Their war is their life. And their life is a weapon. Stover, Matthew. Revenge of the Sith: Star Wars: Episode III (p. 44). Random House Worlds. Kindle Edition.
We're SO Back

First 7 chapters, through the end of the first part!
Our last Patreon episode of the year is extra-long & entirely unhinged. It starts before we even do an intro and it ends 25 minutes after Austin says "is that it?"
We've got it all: Trailer reactions. Mid 2000s politics. Fan Casting our OWN holiday special. ENJOY!

@morecivilized.bsky.social you did this to me
Kelsey D. Atherton @AthertonKD The Old Republic was founded both 25,000 BBY and 1,000 BBY to reconcile Obi-wan saying the Jedi protected the republic "for a thousand generations" (ANH) Palpatine saying and "a thousand years" (AOTC).
Catching up on my @morecivilized.bsky.social Q&A episodes and listening to @austinwalker.bsky.social's delight at the Ruusan Reformation is so good. I've got hours to go, but another fun trivia: Ruusan gives the Old Republic a Second Founding to reconcile lines in ANH and AOTCH
Hey folks! The main feed is on break until we start Matthew Stover's Revenge of the Sith novelization next year, but we've got one more Patreon Q&A to go! Send us your questions on the Holiday Special, KOTOR II, or anything else you want answered before we hit 2026!
amorecivilizedage@gmail.com !
Hey everyone! We'll be recording the post-finale KOTOR II Q&A ep tomorrow! Get your questions in! amorecivilizedage at gmail dot com!
That may be the way it is in the original release? Not sure.
Ooh, do you have a link?
Re: the very obvious and good Male Exile X Atton romance that KOTOR 2 is missing
I felt compelled
Star Wars Holiday Special for the next episode! What comes next will be announced then!
And get ready for next time!
A mysterious figure facing Jedi Exile, Kell Morn, and saying "It is done. At last, it is done."
And just like that, we have reached the end of KOTOR II. Enjoy us discussing one of the most famously rushed (in both production and outcome) endings in video games!
