Host Steve Loscalzo discusses movies, TV, theme parks and more, beginning with the first live action Star Wars television series released on the Disney+ streaming service. Episodes of The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, Ahsoka, The Book of Boba Fett, The Bad Batch and more are analyzed and sometimes you can even watch along with the hosts. Well, at least you could way back when past co-hosts Tim Harris and Andy Schelb joined in. This is the way some friends gather and discuss Star Wars. ...

It's another very special episode of This is the Way Podcast. Make sure there's a tape in the recorder and you have the correct channel on the VCR. Two years ago it was my dad. Last year, my oldest daughter. This year, my youngest. "May the Fourth be with you" this year as the "baby" of the family gets a chance to speak her mind about Star Wars. Do…

The April 2024 Star Wars news update episode stars off with a "my bad" as a result of constructive listener feedback. That's not a joke or a set up for a punch line. I have become overtly negative in my criticism of The Acolyte. I'm not suggesting there's reasons for me to be positive, but the old adage about not saying anything at all if you can't…

March 2024's news update episode is available just before the end of the month, but it's Easter weekend, so it might be a slight gamble that something big doesn't come from Lucasfilm or Disney this weekend, but not as big a risk as The Acolyte action figures getting announced before anyone knows what kind of show it will be. Even the "Holocomm" col…

This is the Way Podcast reached the 150 episode mark with the "Star Wars Podcast Day" episode earlier in February, but our news update for the month ticks in just before the close of the month on Leap Day. Carl, Cara, Cassian...video games coming and video games cancelled...hot collectibles and not so hot off the presses park news. February is a sh…

It's that time once again! #StarWarsPodcastDay2024 and This is the Way Podcast is observing it with a background episode on the host. This episode was commissioned for Star Wars Podcast Day 2024 which this year is being observed by a record number of podcasts (more than 100 for the second year in a row). It happens yearly on February 7th, which com…

New Year, same great news coverage from This is the Way Podcast! Disney Plus live action Star Wars shows aren't "coming soon" but January saw an official greenlight for a second season of Ahsoka and a new "The Mandalorian and Grogu" movie. Will there be a season four of The Mandalorian? That news would have to come in a future news update podcast. …

Disney Plus live action Star Wars shows have been on hiatus since Ahsoka wrapped and will be until 2024. Four shows await releases during the year. Andor's second season isn't one of them. There is a little bit of gamer news and some collectors items going on sale. There is no year in review because your This is the Way Podcast host has had an awfu…

Star Wars was dealing with two strikes, but there's a new count now that Dave Filoni is in creative control at Lucasfilm. No, Kathleen Kennedy didn't get fired, but it does seem like having one person in control will be better than the story group that has been making Star Wars awful. Will Filoni make it great again? We have to wait and watch. Disn…

If you're looking for a host that will put a positive spin on any criticism of Ahsoka and overlook the awful plotting, bad writing, and focus on only the highlights, then you may want to skip this episode of This is the Way Podcast. Disney's purchase of LucasFilm has finally "broken" the host and as a day one Disney Plus subscriber, cancelling the …

One strike is over, another might be coming to an end, but Disney Plus Star Wars content is going on hiatus no matter what. It will be months before The Acolyte or Skeleton Crew appears on the streaming service, so I hope you like video game and collectible news! Yes, This is the Way Podcast STILL hasn't finished with Ahsoka, the series, but hey, d…

Ahsoka has just one episode left after Dreams and Madness, Part VII. Remember the days when seasons were something like 20-25 episodes long? Back then, there were cliffhangers and you might have had to wait six months to see a thrilling conclusion. Six months? Now we wait years and get half finished plotlines instead of cliffhangers because the sto…
  continue reading
 
Is the strike over? Will we get new (Star Wars) series (on Disney Plus) soon? We may or may not, but Ahsoka is almost over and just last month we talked about how great the first couple episodes ended up being. With the advent of the 8 episode season that has pretty much become an industry standard, a lot needs to happen early or people won't even …
  continue reading
 
Ahsoka is back from "The World Between Worlds" and now "far, far away" in a brand new galaxy....that looks a lot like the old one we know so well. I don't think Lucasfilm and Disney were intending to start from scratch and introduce new concepts and yes, we've got new aliens and new planets, but as Baylan seems to say, Star Wars is a tale like our …
  continue reading
 
Ahsoka starts the second half of season one with a blast from the past we never got to see and Ahsoka doesn't even give Anakin a big hug. Seriously, if you got to not just remember, but re-experience the past with someone you miss, would you whine and complain about learning lessons right away? No wonder she got her nickname for being snippy. The W…

Ahsoka reaches the halfway point of the season by visiting the "World Between Worlds" introduced in the animated series, Rebels. If you had that on your bingo card, congratulations. It's not that odds weren't great that Dave Filoni would take his creation to another time and space...err, place, but animation doesn't always translate well to live ac…

Ahsoka doesn't have to be serious to be a good show. I mean, the character sure has been acting serious and crossing her arms a lot, but Star Wars fans don't need everything to make perfect sense to enjoy it. It sure would help if the writing of the show was top level. What will be next for the show? That's hard to guess. Will Hera enlist a pirate …

Hurricane Idalia is out in the Gulf of Mexico, but the month ends this week, so it's news update time for us at This is the Way Podcast headquarters. There isn't much news, other than Ahsoka's first week, an Andor "easter egg" and Skeleton Crew operating with a skeleton crew in Hollywood. There's video game news and collectors have a couple notes a…
  continue reading
 
Ahsoka's first episode set a tone and the second continued the theme. She's looking for Thrawn...oh, and Ezra, too. Hera and Sabine couldn't care less about the bad guys. They just want their friend back. Huyang is trying to preserve his circuitry while Chopper cares very little for collateral damage on Corellia. Baylan seems like the most interest…
  continue reading
 
Ahsoka feels like she's been around since the beginning even though her first appearance in Star Wars came this century and not a long time ago in a galaxy...oh you know. Since she became Anakin's padawan, she's been reviled and revisited as a Rebel and now, revered with a live action series of her own. It might be the most successful introduction …

This is the Way Podcast was developed specifically for the very first Disney Plus Star Wars show, but my, how it has grown. Three seasons of The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, animated series, and monthly Star Wars news. Now, in August of 2023, we're getting another live action entry: Ahsoka. The character has grown on t…

Steve finished watching the second half of season two of The Bad Batch a long time ago, but in a galaxy not so far away. As an animated show, it has to stand up to Rebels and even The Clone Wars and sometimes, well, it doesn't match the quality. Whether it's the story or the writing is up for debate, but it must be a challenge to tie together diffe…

Summer is in full sweat in the south, but San Diego Comic Con had most of the cool Star Wars news for the month. The guild strikes in Hollywood put a lot of coming content into question, but Ahsoka is close enough to the end of the production line to probably be safe for it's intended release. Shooting schedules are paused and actors and writers ar…

This is the Way we handle podcasts in the summer...sometimes. The middle of the year last year was cooled off by the chilly reception some people gave Obi-Wan Kenobi (the series, not the character). This spring, The Mandalorian (again, series, not characters) didn't exactly heat things up...unless you were Moff Gideon I guess. That's why the Disney…

Return of the Jedi has been "a thing" for forty years now. FORTY. YEARS. This is the Way Podcast endorses Episode VI as the height of original Star Wars. Yes, higher than Empire Strikes Back. Certainly not possible without the first movie and fourth episode, but it is unlikely that any movie will supplant "the one with the Sarlaac Pit, Ewoks, Yoda …

There are special episodes and then there are episodes that are special. This is both! Wait. We said that last year. It's true...all of it. For "May the Fourth" in 2023, Steve interviews...his first daughter. Today was a short interview about what she thinks of Star Wars and how she doesn't enjoy the death and dying that--for better or worse--has b…

The finale of the season could have served as a series finale, but The Mandalorian might be back to his bounty hunting ways if we do in fact get the season four that Jon Favreau says is written. Will it serve the function of the shelved Rangers of the New Republic? Many of those (scripts or at least ideas) may be turned into new Mando chapters. Wai…

Return of the Jedi is back in theaters and April is drawing to a close. Before we get to May the Fourth, we need to discuss Star Wars Celebration and Disney's dastardly deeds at Reedy Creek. The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch wrapped up seasons and Visions gets ready for another. Ahsoka is on the way, but so is Andor, Acolyte, and Skeleton Crew. Sur…

If you wanted a lot of action without a lot of answers, you got it. I don't dislike the season three finale of The Mandalorian, but I wanted to LOVE it. It's...okay. After a week of theories on "The Spies" it turns out everyone was right and wrong. It didn't matter who was more suspect because in the end, they were all Mandalorian and "The Return" …
  continue reading
 
Theory talk is thriving on the internet this week as podcasters and fans try to sort through who are the spies to which "The Spies" refers...plural. Is The Armorer talking about the Way while secretly advancing the aims of the Empire? Is Axe Woves going for help or getting out of harm's way? Is Captain Bombardier so concerned with pleasure that Pla…
  continue reading
 
No. Yes. No. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes... Lucasfilm and Disney really cannot give up Grogu. They should not. They probably WILL NOT. What could have come off as a horrible parody ended up being cute and funny. It could still end up being terrible, but for now, we must admit, we like Independent Grogu-12. Who are the titular spies? Elia Kane…

There were way too many people making excuses for this episode for me and I just couldn't ignore that, nor could I get past the casting surprises in Guns for Hire. Christopher Lloyd has been announced for the season so when we saw Commissioner Helgait, we had been looking forward to seeing the legendary actor on screen. I like Jack Black and I don'…
  continue reading
 
This episode is a bit of a mess. Oh, the podcast, too. The tone was odd from the opening scene and ended awkwardly with a faction of Mandalorians that recently left Bo-Katan because she was an ineffectual leader and lacked the Darksaber. Now, they seem to be back onboard after a promise that she really does deserve it. Ya gotta trust him. The less …
  continue reading
 
This is a "clip heavy" episode. If I felt the disturbance in the Force, I went with it. The Pirate finally reveals where Moff Gideon ISN'T, which is what we all figured. The Armorer still doesn't have a name, but she elevates Bo-Katan and House Kryze to the heights of Mandalore...if she has that authority, but I mean, who is she, really? Zeb is bac…

Still updating on Star Wars news, but for the first time, it's also on YouTube! The creator of the podcast and host discusses The Mandalorian and streaming numbers. He touches on the Bad Batch and This is the Way Podcast's upcoming season two second half recap. Next in episode 121 of the podcast is news on Ahsoka and The Acolyte. As usual there's g…

Just last week Ahmed Best took Kelleran Beq from internet game show to Star Wars canon. This week, Garazeb Orellios went from animated in an animated series to...well, okay, computer generated and animated in live action. It was still great to see a Rebels character come to life! Okay, we saw Ahsoka do that last season. Hey, you get my point! Did y…
  continue reading
 
This was a short episode. Oh, of the podcast? Sure, but wow this one would have needed to be stacked with commercials to fit an hour slot. In these streaming days, well, no such trouble. Yes, I know last week's description seems similar and that's purposeful when you consider the difference between the lengths. This episode was the shortest of the …
  continue reading
 
It was a challenge keeping emotions under control when we saw a certain character pop up to save the day at the Jedi Temple. Ahmed Best suffered greatly from a small but hateful group of Jar Jar haters who for some reason saw fit to punish the actor for the sins of the prequel creator. It must have been easier to blame the performer, even though th…

This was a long episode. Oh, of the podcast? Sure, but wow this one would have had to have been cut down in the days of broadcast television watching. In these streaming days, well, no such trouble. How do the helmets of the Children of the Watch relate to the numbers given to officers under the amnesty of the New Republic? Well, we don't want to t…
  continue reading
 
Just when I thought we were done in the mines, we got pulled back in. Din Djarin had to refill the ol' canteen and boy would those magic waters pay off in the end. Bo-Katan lost her home and found a new one, of sorts. Doctor Pershing gets rehabilitated and then his brain recombobulated. A certain Comms Officer feels upwardly mobile, doesn't she? Is…
  continue reading
 
"How long is this quest gonna take?" "Oh, maybe like, an hour...hour fifteen?" Din Djarin has been seeking redemption since finding out he made a boo boo when he took his helmet off for Grogu. I mean, that's according to his den mother, affectionately known as "The Armorer" but she rules the roost with a beskar hammer and tongs. Look, I'm not SAYIN…
  continue reading
 
Din Djarin visits Tatooine on Boonta Eve and all he got was this lousy droid with a bad motivator. Grogu learns where he is in the universe just in the nick of time. Time stands still on Mandalore (thankfully) and a creepy tick droid tries sucking the life right out of our hero. Bo-Katan saves the day and probably deserves the Darksaber, but she'll…
  continue reading
 
Last time, on The Mandalorian... Well, LUKE showed up for one. For those in the know, Din Djarin and Grogu got the band back together in the "offseason" which was actually the end of The Book of Boba Fett's season. I'm not talking post-credit scenes, either. There are purgill and space gators and monkey lizards and bat things and maybe even convors…
  continue reading
 
It's back! They're back! Convors and Purgills, oh my! Anzellan cuteness! Why did Din Djarin go to Bo-Katan before Tatooine? What's the deal with Greef Karga? Why is there always a pirate problem? Who is Ragnar's daddy and what does he do? Is Grogu going to become a great pilot? Where can we get our hands on some Mandalore glass? We expect to have f…

This is the Way Podcast was developed specifically for the very first Disney Plus Star Wars show. We were fans well before we spotted "The Child" at the end of the first episode. The trailers that had been coming out for season one got Steve to ask everyone and anyone if they wanted to join him in discussing the show. It was an amazing and fun seas…

More Star Wars news, more often. Now that's a slogan I haven't heard in a long time. A LONG time. That's from a West Texas television station the host once worked at and was number one until he left. This is the Way Podcast doesn't bear any resemblance to that workplace. Steve Loscalzo discusses The Bad Batch, The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, The Acolyte a…

Steve has been watching season two of The Bad Batch weekly on Disney Plus, but you may have noticed there aren't any recap and discussion episodes of the podcast. That's how This is the Way Podcast did things during the first season two years back and that's how it is going to be here in 2023. As an animated show, it's still entertaining and no les…

It's #StarWarsPodcastDay2023 and we are observing it by interviewing a "friend of the show" and focusing on the good. Maybe there is a friend out there that feels just like you do about a galaxy, far, far away. This episode was commissioned for Star Wars Podcast Day 2023 which is being observed by more than 100 different podcasts by different creat…

New year, same news update format. That may either delight or frustrate you, but we started these news updates as a way to keep our podcast (and the name This is the Way Podcast) current between seasons of The Mandalorian. That's right, even this news update has roots in the "original" Star Wars Disney Plus show. Andor might have perfected the craf…

Do you love The Mandalorian? Do you think you'd be a great co-host if you were just given a chance? Do you think you can commit to weekly show recaps and discussions with host and creator Steve? Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night? Wait, wrong IP. The Mandalorian's third season starts streaming on Disney Plus on March 1st …

The year is coming to a close and our last news update of 2022 isn't a long one. Instead of reviews like many other content creators, This is the Way Podcast will avoid rehashing the good and bad and stick to the simple stuff. All fans need to know is "what's next?" and that's The Bad Batch second season and a third season of The Mandalorian less t…
