Star Wars: Brotherhood Review | Obi-Wan and Anakin's Business on Cato Nemoida

Liam and Sanak review the newest Star Wars book, Star Wars: Brotherhood by Mike Chen. The novel follows Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi very soon after Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and tells a bridge story for our characters from Attack of the Clones to The Clone Wars. Our review begins with a non-spoiler review and our personal ratings out of five, then continues into a spoiler discussion of some of the novel's key plot points!

Star Wars Lads: The Bad Batch - Finale Part 1: Return to Kamino Review and Season 2 Speculation!

Another excellent episode, and one that looks to be the end to an iconic setting in the Star Wars galaxy. The Star Wars Lads present our full review of the Finale Part 1: Return to Kamino, which has the Bad Batch go after Hunter, and Crosshair openly welcoming a conflict with no pretenses or traps. It's got gorgeous cinematography and awesome action, but this is truly an episode tailored for and defined by the eponymous Clone Commandos we have been following throughout this first season.
