Lando
Happy Star Wars Podcast Day! This is the third annual Star Wars Podcast Day, celebrating the 24th anniversary of the first Star Wars podcast, Jedi Talk. In this episode, we shout out some of our favorite creators and peers in our podcasting community. We also cover episode 6 of the Bad Batch S2 "Tribe" following the Batch and their new Wookie friend.
In our first episode of 2023, Lando and Karsen cover what is on the horizon for Star Wars, review the two-episode premiere of "The Bad Batch" S2, and discuss the newest character in the Star Wars universe, Phee Genoa.
In this long awaited episode, Lando and Karsen finally get around to talking about the incredibly and very topical Andor finale! We also dive in to the philosophy and commentary the entire show and how it fits into the beautiful tapestry that is Star Wars.
In this cheeky little double episode, Lando and Karsen cover episode 10 and 11 of Andor, "One Way Out" and "Daughter of Ferrix." We also go over some Acolyte news, as well as the release of the earth-shattering anime special, Grogu and Dust Bunnies.
Lando and Karsen sleepily discuss Andor episode 9 "Nobody's Listening"! (Thanks daylight savings.) We make some predictions about how Andor S1 might end as well as plot our Thanksgiving special.
Happy Halloween! Lando and Karsen review the Legends zombie book "Death Troopers" but not before covering every episode of "Tales of the Jedi." We also discuss some spooky people, places, and things of Star Wars!
Lando and Karsen discuss a wee bit of news and break down episodes 7 and 8 of "Andor", titled "Announcement" and "Narkina 5" respectively. We also experiment with some new Imperial technology for the podcast as well as hypothesize about some Star Wars political factions.
We discuss "Aldhani" aka the fourth episode of Andor. Pardon our sniffles and grunts, we are both kind of sick

Welcome to The Bespin Briefing! From Lando's Lounge comes a fusion show of education and entertainment in which we dive into the Star Wars topics, characters, lore, and locations you love and explain what they are and how they fit into the grander Star Wars narrative! This show is for beginners experiencing the sometimes-confusing world of Star Wars, the hardcore fan looking for some fun bits of trivia, and everyone in between!
In this episode, we will be looking at the journey of Luke Skywalker, the main protagonist of the original trilogy of Star Wars films. Where did he come from? Why is he important? All these questions will be answered and more. In the future, we will discuss Luke again and hearken back to this episode's discussion to discuss how Luke changes from the original trilogy to the sequel trilogy, but for now, let's discuss how Luke became a Jedi, opposed the Empire, dueled with Darth Vader, and saved the galaxy!
