Quarter Portion Podcast

Welcome back to the only Star Wars podcast that knows podcasting is a complicated profession!Last time we mentioned a storm was coming, and now it's on horizon as the D23 Expo gave us a lot of new information to process. We got our long-awaited first look at The Mandalorian, as well as an unexpected further taste of Episode IX.What are our first thoughts on the upcoming Disney+ show? Which newly inducted "Disney Legend" has also joined its cast? Should Boba Fett have been involved? How might the classic Dark Empire comic series impact The Rise of Skywalker? And our hosts make a wager on whether "Dark Rey" is a Force vision or a clone!Oh, and there may have been another series announced for Disney+ - you might say it will make a fine addition to their collection...* * * * *Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter @kyberclub, and Instagram @quarterportionpodcast!Become a patron of the show with Patreon to help shape our future & access bonus content!Thanks to Daniel Logan for our

Welcome back to the only Star Wars podcast that's built on hope! The news lull before Episode IX is about to end and Patrick is settled in his new home "on the Forest Moon of Ontario," so we took a moment to catch up on the summer's events.What Star Wars books have we been reading, and does Aftermath set up how Palpatine could return? Could the Russo Brothers bring their Endgame success to Lucasfilm? How do we feel about the upcoming Benioff & Weiss project(s) after Game of Thrones' final season? All of this and more!And don't miss the final section, where we discuss some exciting news for our own show.

Chris was on-hand this year and spoke to a handful of the volunteers: Jay Bartlett, Lacey, JP, Mariann (Hypergate Cosplay), and Geoff (MessiahComplex Cosplay).It was a scorcher of a day but these brave souls suited up to entertain guests, and stopped by to chat Star Wars, as well as how and why they do what they do.

Welcome back to the Quarter Portion Podcast, the only Star Wars podcast that knows "there's always a bigger fish!"At Forest City Comicon June 1st, Chris was joined by returning guests Amy & Derek of Guild Two-Taps for a live panel discussion of The Phantom Menace. Episode 1, the first Prequel and fourth Star Wars film, has just turned twenty, so we discuss how its legacy has transformed over the decades, from initial reactions to our modern perspectives. Has it aged well? How did we respond to it as kids, versus now, as adults? What impact did it have on future Star Wars stories? All of this and so much more!

Celebration is in full swing and the hype has awoken, as we now have our first look at Episode IX!The teaser manages to whet our appetites and provide a lot of tantalizing moments, while also not giving too much away. Chris and Pat dissect it scene by scene and try to speculate (responsibly) on what could be going on - from Rey's new outfit and that TIE Silencer jump to guerilla warfare on a desert planet to... that menacing laughter.And of course, the title!

Welcome back to the only Star Wars podcast that sees through the lies of the Jedi! We're joined by Amy and Derek of Guild Two-Taps to reevaluate some long-held Prequel opinions!Anakin Skywalker is the crux of the Star Wars saga but also one of the most hotly debated components of the Prequel Trilogy. Many long-time fans found his journey didn't meet their lofty expectations. But what about those who first experienced the franchise from young Anakin's perspective?Along the way we discuss the inevitability of Anakin's fate, the impact Qui Gon could have had on him if he'd lived, Obi Wan's mentoring qualifications, the legacy Anakin leaves for his grandson, and much more!What do you think about the tragedy of Anakin - his story or its portrayal?* * * * *Follow the show on Facebook, on Twitter @kyberclub, and Instagram @quarterportionpodcast!Leave us a review on iTunes, and check out our website!Thanks to Daniel Logan for our intro!If you enjoyed this episode, please Like it, tell yo

Welcome back to the Quarter Portion Podcast, the only Star Wars podcast that has at least attempted to read the sacred Jedi texts! While Pat's searching for real estate on the Forest Moon of Endor, Chris is here to answer one of the questions we get asked the most: "where do I start with Star Wars books?" As our favourite book of the current Canon is "Bloodline" by Claudia Gray, Chris explores the books currently set in the thirty years between Episodes VI and VII, and how they enhance the overall narrative (without spoiling anything, so you can still enjoy them for yourself!). The Marvel comics and Star Wars: Resistance also come up - the Sequel era may seem sparse on details, but there's a lot of great stories across all forms of Star Wars media!Let us know - have you read many of these books? What's your favourite from this time period?* * * * *Follow the show on Facebook, on Twitter @kyberclub, and Instagram @quarterportionpodcast!Leave us a review on iTunes, and check out our website!

Welcome back to the Quarter Portion Podcast, the only Star Wars podcast that is one with the Force, and the Force is with it!February marks the second anniversary of the show, so Chris & Pat reflect on the journey so far. We check in on our personal film rankings, as we did in our first episode, and add two new films to the roster. We also discussed how our perspectives have changed with time, and how the generational impact continues to affect our experiences. As for the show itself, what have been our favourite moments so far? And what big things can we look forward to in the rest of 2019?After looking at the past, we turn to the future. Episode IX has finished filming, and possibly also The Mandalorian, so we look ahead to the rest of the year. When will we get the first trailers, and is all the hype for a title announcement worth it?Thanks for tuning in for the journey so far!* * * * *Follow the show on Facebook, on Twitter @kyberclub, and Instagram @quarterportionpodcast!Leave us a rev

We stopped by the shop where Jay & Greg of Nerdful Things forge cosplay props and accessories! We talked about the art of 3D printing, business, and the practicalities of cosplay. Nerdful Things has helped a lot of local cosplayers elevate their game with well-made but affordable products, and we had a lot of fun picking their brain about their craft and the things they love! Be sure to check them out on Instagram and Facebook to see what they've been up to - you need to see their replica of Stormbreaker from Infinity War!Join us in three weeks for our second anniversary special! The Quarter Portion Podcast is turning two this month so we'll be taking a look back at the show's journey so far, how the fandom has changed, and how our own opinions have changed since we first started.

Welcome back to the Quarter Portion Podcast, the only Star Wars podcast that finds your lack of faith disturbing!For our first episode of 2019, we're talking about the oldest and perhaps most recognizable icon of the franchise: Darth Vader himself. A recent fan film, "Shards of the Past," came out during the holidays and has since brought in almost six million views. Its high production values and focus on action have many discussing the merits of this storytelling method. [Editorial Note: Pat was thinking of Star Wars Explained during the conversation, not the fan film’s actual channel, Star Wars Theory.]Between this film, the novel "Thrawn: Alliances," and the second "Darth Vader" comic series from Marvel and writer Charles Soule, the original Dark Lord of the Sith has been going through a renaissance of sorts. Rarely has Vader been explored in such depth, and all of these recent developments have Chris & Pat seeing him in new light - especially after the comic series' epic Force-vision conclusion.What

Welcome back to the Quarter Portion Podcast, the only Star Wars podcast which finds that answer vague and unconvincing!As the year draws to a close, Chris & Patrick look back on the major events of 2018 in the galaxy far, far away, and look ahead to the absolute whirlwind that will be 2019! Bad business calls and schisms in the community have led the Disney era to lose momentum for the first time, but as we realized while running through the things that we know are coming next year, we expect the franchise will be right back up to speed in a few months.Where did things go "wrong"? Will Star Wars be more successful on the small screen than in the theatre? What areas do we want the canon to explore? How can we as fans temper our expectations? And what does the future look like for Star Wars beyond the coming year?While the Star Wars mothership has pulled out of hyperspace for the time being, 2018 was a huge year for our humble podcast and we hope 2019 will be bigger still. We want to thank everyone who list

At Comic-Con we chatted with Gomer, the dungeon master in Pat's Star Wars roleplaying game adventures long ago! We've talked about their epic campaign on many occasions, and we finally got the chance to pick his brain on the show. We talked about his earliest Star Wars memory (22nd in line to see A New Hope in theatres in 1977), storytelling, and using roleplaying games to weave your own Star Wars adventures.Check out Gomer's books at The Green Man & The Goddess!* * * * *Follow the show on Facebook, on Twitter @kyberclub, and Instagram @quarterportionpodcast!Leave us a review on iTunes, and check out our website!If you enjoyed this episode, please Like it, tell your friends, and consider leaving us a review!

Welcome back to the only Star Wars podcast that will not let this Republic that has stood for a thousand years be split in two! We're joined again by Jay Bartlett, as well as super-collector Paul Van Dyk. to discuss the recent reports about the standalone films being "put on hold" and the rampant toxicity running through the community. Media sensationalism and hateful ignorance are sending seismic ripples across the galaxy far, far away, and we felt it was necessary to tackle these contentious issues head-on.We talk about some heavy topics like fan entitlement, the negative impact of social media, and hateful reactions to the actors themselves. But we were also drawn irrevocably back to the positive sides as well - like the ups and downs of collecting and the many different ways we can enjoy the franchise. We even discuss a way to perceive the different "universes" of Star Wars in one way, inspired by J.J. Abrams' Star Trek films.Was Luke really more successful in Legends? How has the classic battle
