Private Scientists

A Podcast [ , ] For All Intents and Purposes

THE AHSOKA PROBLEM: D. tries to watch the most recent Disney+ Star Wars show, Ahsoka, and while he enjoys it he can't help feeling like he's missing a lot of important context and information.

TOPICS:

(00:00) Intro - Dan really wants to like Ahsoka. (21:35) A brief sojourn into discussing episodic vs. serialized television (32:14) Star Wars homework vs. Marvel homework (43:05) Outro - "Say Something Nice" and Highlander 2: The Quickening (46:28) Outtakes

"SAY SOMETHING NICE": D. Bethel proposes a new idea for a podcast or a segment on the show.

RELEVANT EPISODES:

RELEVANT LINKS:

• A More Civilized Age, "Knights of the Old Republic 01" - the Star Wars: Rebels podcast that paused on their discussion of the show (due to the onset of the writer's strike) and instead played through Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
