The Exhaust Port Podcast is back! After a bit of a hiatus, I (Todd Canipe) am back in the studio with cohost Sequoyah Winston dishing on all the Star Wars news and happenings we missed talking about over the past two years. And guess what? That means a lot of The Mandalorian. Like a whole lot. During episode 45 we give our opinions on all aspects of the both seasons of the show - breaking down each chapter, details on the main and recurring characters and their overall development and arcs, the tech involved to bring Mando to life, the good and bad (mostly good) aspects of the fan service, and where the show can go from here. But hey, it's us so there's a bunch of rambling to get to that point. In addition to all of that, other highlights include:
- a recap of where things stand overall in regards to Star Wars content in 2021 and beyond;
- lots of discussion about Dave Filoni & Jon Favreau and what they bring to the table whilst producing The Mandalorian;
- a state of the union in terms of Star Wars fandom in general (spoiler alert, it's not pretty);
- a quick postmortem on the sequel trilogy and the post-Lucas era to this point (don't worry, much more to come on that in a future episode).
Lastly, somewhere along the way Todd takes a minute to lay a turd on YouTuber SW Theory and his manufactured drama with Pablo Hidalgo, as well and Gina Carano's batsh*t social media presence. Oh, and he compares Din Djarin's faction of Mandalorians to the Proud Boys. Yep, fun times.
**There are some very subtle audio issues due to the fact that we haven't recorded in a minute and we were wearing masks. We will tighten it up next time... Apologies in advance**
Thanks all for sticking around as we relaunch the show. Look for more consistent content from all the crew moving forward.
