Episode #200 - Spoiler Discussion of Episodes 6-8 of The Acolyte & The Future of Star Wars by Scavenger's Hoard: A Star Wars Podcast

In what looks set to be our final episode, we discuss episodes 6-8 of The Acolyte, as well as reflecting on the show as a whole. We discuss

In what looks set to be our final episode, we discuss episodes 6-8 of The Acolyte, as well as reflecting on the show as a whole. We discuss the dynamic between Osha and Qimir, the unsettling bond between Sol and Osha, and the endemic corruption of the Jedi Order in the run-up to the prequels.

Following this, we enter into a broader discussion on our feelings of the implications of the cancellation of The Acolyte - what does this choice say about the franchise's current position, and what are our fears and hopes for its future? We get serious and a bit cynical, so apologies in advance for the dour note. But ultimately, we end on hope - Star Wars always moves in cycles, and we're both confident that something great will come from it again in the future. It will just be a question of seeing when...

A massive thank you to everyone who has ever listened to our little Star Wars podcast. We've been doing this since 2016, and while it feels like the right time to bring it to a close it's still the close of a very important and special chapter of our time in fandom.

While the podcast is over, you can continue to find Rachael (and her many opinions) on Twitter @Rachael1918.

Many thanks to Christy Carew for our beautiful music, and Nemling for our wonderful artwork.

STARS THAT SHOW US: THE 2024 REYLO FANFICTION ANTHOLOGY GIFT FIC EXCHANGE SIGN UPS ARE NOW OPEN

Title inspired by June Jordan’s poem “Poem for My Love”

As a special way to enjoy some Reylo fanfiction this Valentine’s Day, the Reylo Fanfiction Anthology is hosting a gift fic exchange on AO3!

As a participant, you will offer to write a story of a minimum of 1000 words for someone’s request. You will also be matched with another writer who’ll write a gift fic for you based on your sign up request.

Sign ups open on Friday, December 8, 2023.

Sign ups will close at midnight EST on Sunday, December 17, 2023.

You will receive your recipient’s request by Wednesday, December 20, 2022.

All fics are due at midnight EST on Saturday, February 3rd, 2023 to give us time for any pinch hit assignments, if necessary.

Fics will be anonymously revealed at 12:01 A.M., February 14th, 2023.

Authors will be revealed on Wednesday February 21st, 2023.

Please note that that this is an exchange hosted on AO3. In order to participate, you must have an Archive of Our Own account. For questions on how to join AO3, or any other questions, please email us at [email protected].

Please indicate at least three prompts for a fic you would like to receive when signing up, as well as anything you do not want in your gift fic.  Additionally, we are asking all participants this year to please include their favorite non-Star Wars book and movie in their sign up.

Example:

Prompt 1: Years after Rey and Kylo are married and trying to live happily ever after, a new Sith Lord rises.

Prompt 2: Domestic fluff - Rey and Ben/Kylo celebrate a holiday.

Prompt 3: Explicit hand holding

I love when Rey and Kylo banter and spar, but I don’t like outright fighting where they hurt each other. Fluff is fine! I really like when they kiss and makeup.

I do not want a gift fic with the following: Extreme violence, blood and gore.

My favorite non-SW book is Neverwhere and movie is Labyrinth!
