  • Ep 150: Probably Piett
    Feb 24 2026

    In Episode 150, hosts Alyce and Laura celebrate* the 7th Avernersary of Force Toast (and The Mandalorian) but mostly Force Toast.

    • Reminiscing on 7 years of watching and reading Star Wars, doing trivs and learning mad skills, like how to do Star Wars Celebration, how to podcast and how to not drink too much when podcasting. Important life lessons!
    • What do Sam Elliott, sh-tty beer and football have in common? Star Wars at the Super Bowl! Mystifying, or just a small (expensive) part of a grander marketing plan? (article referenced)
    • Speaking of Mando - we call him Mandu now - a new MandUlorian & Grogu trailer is here! Let’s discuss!
    • The article that sparked a million click bait parasites did not actually say what you think it said. Calm down.
    • We did the math. Jon Favreau isn’t going anywhere. Take that, click bait.
    • Remember Rogue Squadron? The question of whether it will ever come to fruition remains… a question. (via Parade)
    • RIP Admiral Piett actor Kenneth Colley. Sorry DailyMail and the internet made it weird.
    • Recap on Tap gets dreamy and maddening in Part 7 of Ahsoka: Dreams and Madness! Hera strikes back, Baylan is Batman now, Ahsoka is scary, Morgan does not Yes And any of this, and Every. Single. Reunion on this show is underwhelming.

    Thanks for being one of our 80k+ downloads! From Day 1 to Day 2,555 - however long you’ve been listening to our rambling, we really, really, really appreciate you!

  • Ep 149: Little Oddball Truth Bomber
    Feb 3 2026

    In Episode 149, hosts Alyce and Laura toast* to the comedic genius of Catherine O’Hara, Nightsisters inventing semaglutides, and daiquiri shacks (shaquiris? Is that anything?)

    • We start by discussing the atrocities taking place in Minneapolis and the U.S. at large, and how our respective areas of the country are reacting. Just in case you have any doubts of where we stand, we supported the January 30 general strike and we’re really f---ing pissed and sad about what’s happening in Minneapolis.
    • Laura shares an update on her other Star Wars show, The Jedi Way.
    • The Caravan of Corrections do be caravaning
    • The torch has been passed! Kathleen Kennedy steps down from Lucasfilm and it is going to take 2 people to replace her, so yes, haters tell us more about how awful she is at her job *eye roll* (check out Deadline’s exit interview with KK here)
    • Speaking of retirement, we have FIRE plans. Long story short, Laura will open a Shaquiri and record weird noises from a beach, and Alyce will be at Chipotle.
    • Formerly Darth. Now just Maul. Well, actually it’s Maul: Shadow Lord now. He’s many things - an aMAULgamation, if you will. Anyway, there’s an article and poster and trailer, oh my!
    • Alyce forgot about the Dave Filoni Star Wars Avengers/Heir to the Empire film lol. But there’s a new rumor that’s probably nothing, so whatever
    • LEGO is putting microchips in bricks now. Or maybe they’ve been doing that for a while? Don’t know, but they’re doing it with Star Wars now. CAPITALISM! (via StarWarsNewsNet)
    • We’re really out of the loop on whatever Galaxy of Heroes is, but if you know what those words mean, there’s an Andor update coming.
    • If you can get your crotch goblins to sit still for a second, maybe they can meditate with Grogu
    • Recap on Tap: Ahsoka Again continues! Join us for a recap and discussion of Part 6: Far, Far Away, in which we galaxy-hop only to see a bunch of the same people from the last galaxy!
    • Night Witches on Peridea: did they originate there or was that a bachelorette party gone wrong?
    • Laura’s toasting to toasting in her Toast To. Toast Inception.

  • Ep 148: Tell Us, Steve
    Jan 13 2026

    In Episode 148, hosts Alyce and Laura are* impatient for Starfighter, for Ahsoka and for the Mando movie. The theme of the episode is WE’RE SICK OF WAITING!

    • It’s the first episode of the 2,026th year of when humans started counting years
    • Alyce shares thoughts on the Stranger Things finale. Also she’s an influencer now. You have been influenced.
    • Who gives a sh-t about Tom Cruise, can we talk about how there’s gonna be lightsabers in Star Wars: Starfighter?! (NYT via Variety)
    • Will Season 2 of Ahsoka drop in 2026 after all?
    • We don’t know sh-t about Marvel anymore. We used to, but now we need someone to brief us on the last 3 years of content.
    • This Mando movie poster came out back in September, but we missed it then, so we’re gonna make fun of it now
    • There’s a new image featuring Sassy Din™ from the upcoming film, The Mandalorian and Grogu. But will the movie be worth the wait?
    • We’re bringing our Ahsoka Again segment into 2026 with our rewatch recap of Part 5: Shadow Warrior! Be advised this segment contains spoilers for the entire first season of Ahsoka.
    • Teeth and war: Ahsoka Tano’s legacy
    • Himbo Anakin is annoyed that everyone is still mad about him turning evil and terrorizing the galaxy for 2 decades. He just wants Ahsoka and everyone to get over it, is that too much to ask?
