  • QPP 048: Forest City Comic Con 2022 - Attack of the Clones Revisited
    Jul 22 2022

    Welcome back to the Quarter Portion Podcast, the only Star Wars podcast that prefers to call it "aggressive negotiations!"

    At Forest City Comicon June 25th, Chris and Amy returned to Centennial Hall for a live panel discussion on Atttack of the Clones. Just as we did with The Phantom Menace three years ago, we examined the legacy of the divisive middle chapter of the Prequels from our initial reactions to our modern perspectives. Has it aged well? How do we perceive it differently after so many other Star Wars stories have buffered it? (Especially the series Obi-Wan Kenobi, which had just finished its first season that week.) How was its reception shaped by The Phantom Menace, The Matrix, and other films of 2002? And did Anakin hold on to his dramatic side when he became Vader? All of this and more will be answered within!

    Thank you to everyone in attendance, especially those who contributed the questions and comments you'll hear in this episode!

  • QPP 047: Generations 2
    Nov 30 2021

    Welcome back to the only Star Wars podcast that has a mutually beneficial proposal! Chris and Patrick are back, and joined this time by Pat's oldest daughter, Aleasa! Once again we're exploring the different perspectives people can have depending on their entry point to the franchise. When did Aleasa, the daughter of an adamant fan, first engage with Star Wars? How does her outlook vary from ours? What difficulties has she encountered as a female, young adult fan? (And of course, what did Pat think of The Wheel of Time's debut after hyping it up for so long?)


    You can check out Aleasa on Tiktok @aleasaeden, as well as her friend @fangirlmeegs!

    May 10 2021

    Our heroes now know what their master was looking for: the lost planet Exul Kesh, home of a temple of Jedi Exiles. Before they can make the uniquely dangerous trek, however, they take Vitruk up on his offer. They head to Tophren III, to a supposed Jedi site, to scout the way for him. What will they find - or perhaps, who will find them? And what troubles lurk inside?

  • QPP 046: Generations
    Apr 30 2021

    This week we're joined by a special guest and a new Star Wars fan - Pat's own daughter! She's just experienced the movies for the first time, but through the unique lens of reading the novelizations first, then watching the films, with practically no idea what happens in the rest of the Saga. Tune in for some fresh insights that may shed a new light on the Prequels and Anakin's downfall!

  • QPP 045: Empire Strikes Back Review
    Apr 9 2021

    With its fortieth anniversary behind us now, Chris and Pat sat down to dissect The Empire Strikes Back - what many consider to be the best Star Wars movie ever made (including one of our hosts). As with our New Hope review, we discuss our own very first impressions of the movie from our childhoods, and compare to our current reactions. Then we dive into each character's arc, discuss the technical impact of the film, and reassess its overall legacy - and hit on a dozen other points along the way.

    How have more recent canon entries like Solo: A Star Wars Story changed our perspective on this adventure? Does the timeline make any sense? What other voice does Pat hear when Yoda speaks? Does Boba Fett deserve the legacy he created for himself on this small first appearance? Tune in for answers on all of these topics and more, on the only Star Wars podcast that has been known to make mistakes... from... time to time.

    (Note: April's Patreon bonus is our full movie commentary for Empire Strikes Back, so check out our Patreon page to see how you can help support the network and gain access to this reward!)
