Return of the Jedi: Part 2

Growing Up Skywalker

Freed from the tiny little raccoon hands of the Ewoks, our heroes immediately split up and start really moving the needle on the main plot of the Original Trilogy. Buckle in losers, we've got a redemption arc, a Death Star to destroy, and heroic (carnivorous) teddy bears!

After 160 episodes of Growing Up Skywalker, we finally hit the end of the Original 3. The moment of Anakin's redemption hits really different after seeing his entire story. This week, we had a deep conversation on the nature of the Force, cosmic death, destiny, and redemption.

Next week, we're not headed into the Mandalorian Era. Instead, we're catching up on everything preceding the Original Trilogy that we missed along the way: The Acolyte and Bad Batch Season 3. Join us soon for The Acolyte, Episode 1: Lost / Found!
