Jun 17, 2015

Jun 17, 2015

55 min

Episode 8 of Children of the Force heralds a return to form and the start of summer (related, those are)! We discuss the Star Warsy stuff we've been up to lately, talk about the great Christopher Lee, the reveal of Andy Serkis' name in The Force Awakens and discuss the upcoming video game Star Wars: Uprising.


In our Canon News segment, we talk about the recently revealed fact that there are "horror holos" in the Star Wars galaxy, per the Star Wars Insider short story, Rebel Bluff. 

I tell a joke.

We review issue 3 and 4 of the Princess Leia comic, and we go a round in the Question and Answer Council.

Join us, and together we'll have a bunch of laughs as Father and Son and Daughter and Listener.

CotF Reaction Corps - Clone Wars: Overlords

Jun 5, 2015

Jun 5, 2015

36 min

We had good intentions to cover the whole Mortis arc in this episode, but there was just so darn much to talk about! So instead, you get us reviewing and reacting to the first episode of the Mortis trilogy, Overlords. 


Is the Son the Inquisitor? Is the Daughter so selfless that she's just annoying? Was the Father a "chosen one" thousands of years ago? Is there a Mother? 

We attempt to untangle the web of Mortis, discuss what the Legends continuity did with it in regards to the Mother (or the lack thereof), talk about what this episode means for Ahsoka's future, and discuss Qui-Gon as a Force spirit. 

Join us, and together we will de-ignite lightsabers with our hands as Father, Son, Daughter and Listener!

May 18, 2015

21 min

Episode 7 of Children of the Force is the first of what is sure to be many mini-casts. Today, we defenestrate the format and bring you a couple short segments instead.


First, Anna opens a pack of Topps Rebels trading cards and she and Liam make their first ever trade. It's epic. 

Second, Al has some fun comparing the song "Flight to Neverland" from Hook to "Across the Stars" from Attack of the Clones.

Join us, and together we'll have fun in our little corner of the galaxy as father and son and daughter and listener.

CotF Reaction Corps - Clone Wars: Nightsisters / Monster / Witches of the Mist

Apr 28, 2015

Apr 28, 2015

37 min

In this episode of Reaction Corps, we review and analyze and oldie but a goodie, the Nightsisters arc from season 3 of The Clone Wars. It's a pretty spooky arc with quite a bit of horrible things occurring, and ... well ... witches and Sith. What do you expect, right? 


Do you root for or against Ventress? Feel sorry for her? I think all of us did all three at different points in the arc. 

We also have a fun time discussing the similarities and differences between Sith and Jedi training.

Join us, and together we will engorge our muscles using Magick as father and son and daughter and listener!

Children of the Force #5 - The Post-Celebration Feels

Apr 22, 2015

Apr 22, 2015

38 min

In this episode of Children of the Force, we have a special report from Celebration courtesy of Kate from the Who Wars podcast. We also run down our reactions to some (but not all, because that would be impossible) of the news from Star Wars Celebration Anaheim.


Follow Kate @kamiduu and be sure to check out Who Wars and her blog kateswhatever.wordpress.com

We also have further reactions to the new The Force Awakens teaser. Liam and Al present their theory of Darth Vader's mask's role in The Force Awakens. The short version: Psychometry. 

We forgo a review and the Question & Answer Council this episode, but we do have a groan-worthy joke!

Finally, the kids again beg you all to leave us a voicemail.

CotF Reaction Corps - The Force Awakens 2nd teaser trailer

Apr 17, 2015

Apr 17, 2015

28 min

It's a super-special Reaction Corps, as the Children of the Force enthusiastically react to the 2nd teaser trailer for The Force Awakens! This was recorded in the afternoon on Thursday, April 16th, so we were fresh off viewing it and hadn't read any of the other information that's out there now like the fact that the battle of Jakku took place shortly after Endor and that the bad guys are called The First Order and not the Empire, and the good guys are called the Resistance and not the Rebellion.


Anyway, enjoy our reaction! And if you want to see the kids' reaction instead of just listening to them, check out this video.

Children of the Force #4 - Celebrating Vicariously

Apr 13, 2015

Apr 13, 2015

47 min

On episode #4 of Children of the Force, we lament the fact that we’re not going to Star Wars Celebration this year. But that’s not all! We talk about the Star Warsy stuff we’ve been up to, including … well, basically feeling bad about not going to Celebration. But also feeling happy for everyone who is!

We also discuss the upcoming Journey to the Force Awakens books in detail and freak out about the possibility of J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy presenting a trailer for The Force Awakens at Celebration.

This episode also includes an enthusiastic review of issue #1 of Kanan: The Last Padawan. In the episode, I mention that there are some panels from this comic up at starwars.com. Here’s the link for those: http://www.starwars.com/news/kanan-the-last-padawan-1-exclusive-5-page-preview

And of course, a joke is told and questions are asked. 

And Liam utters this sentence: “I got real trading cards, not just trading cards on a phone or a device.”

Children of the Force #3

Mar 26, 2015

Mar 26, 2015

59 min

In episode 3 of Children of the Force, we talk about the Star Warsy things we’ve been doing these days. We talk about the Clone Wars Ziro the Hutt arc, which then leads to discussion of the new Ventress/Vos book, Dark Disciple. 

In the news, Anna laughs way too loud when hearing that Harrison Ford broke his ankle back in June. And we discuss that incident while talking about Ford’s recent crash landing. We also discuss the new lesbian character in the upcoming novel, Lords of the Sith, and how inclusion is a good thing. We also talk about the author of that book and discuss the essay The Death of the Author (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_the_Author) by Roland Barthes and how it can be applied in this situation.

Oh, and Mark Hammil wants you to go to Free Comic Book Day!

We also do the Canon News, a Joke, review Marvel's Princess Leia #1 and #2 and welcome guest Annie Stoll to the Question & Answer Council! 

Join us, and together we will dismantle the patriarchy as father and son and daughter and listener!
