Welcome to the return of our Clone Wars rewatch, here on For The Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation! As we return to our coverage of The Clone Wars Season 2, Andrew (@StarlightAndrew) & Conor (@DepaBanana) look back at the standalone episode "Bounty Hunters!" A tribute to Akira Kurosawa's legendary film Seven Samurai, we discuss how Kurosawa's films have inspired Star Wars over the years, and what future stories have taken similar story beats from Seven Samurai following this episode. With the return of Hondo Ohnaka, the introduction of several new Bounty Hunters to the Star Wars universe, and a story depicting Bounty Hunters in a different light than what we normally see in Star Wars, this standout episode of The Clone Wars marks a fitting return to our journey through the animated series.
Episodes Discussed: "Bounty Hunters" (S2E17)

Welcome back to For The Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation! This week, it's time we finally continue a yearly tradition on the podcast, as it's time for our (extremely late!!!) lists of our favorite Star Wars stories of 2024! Andrew (@StarlightAndrew) & Donovan (@DonovanMeade) rank their Top 5 favorite Star Wars projects from last year! From The Acolyte, to the end of The Bad Batch, to Skeleton Crew, 2024 had a lot to offer in terms of quality & complex Star Wars stories, and although we're very late to the party, we needed to finally look back on last year in Star Wars as we look forward to the rest of 2025!

Welcome to our Andor Season 2 recaps, here on For The Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation!

Welcome back to our Mandalorian recaps, here on For The Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation! Join Andrew (@StarlightAndrew) & Don (@DonovanMeade) as we discuss "The Convert!" - the 3rd episode of the season! We talk about the next steps in Din & Bo-Katan's journey, as both are redeemed in the eyes of the Watch, with Bo-Katan now a member of the cult she repeatedly diminished. How will this end up turning out? We also head to Coruscant to get our first real glimpse at the goings-on of the New Republic government, Dr. Pershing's acceptance into the Amnesty Program, where he comes across an old Imperial comrade, his struggle to cease his work and the concept of the "greater good", Elia Kane's true intentions, and just how much of an improvement is the New Republic really from the Empire?

Welcome to For the Republic: A Love Letter to Star Wars Animation! On today's episode, we return to our chronological journey through The Clone Wars, as Andrew (@StarlightAndrew) & Conor (@DepaBanana) are joined by Jarod (@darkjedi2552) of The Nerd Academy Podcast to discuss the standalone episode "Trespass!"

Welcome to the 1st edition of Force Bonding Follow-Up, where I'll cover breaking news that we didn't get to cover on the main Force Bonding show. This one is a serious one as I discuss the ramifications of Chuck Wendig's (Author: Aftermath trilogy & Shader of Vader comic) firing by Marvel Comics, and why this is unacceptable and disgusting. The nerd community needs to spread LOVE, not HATE.
