With The Acolyte coming to a close, our hosts debate the merits and pitfalls of the show. With nuanced characters, compelling action, and rich lore, it brings a lot to the discussion table. But is that enough to redeem it from pacing issues and muddled motivations? Brian, Brody, and Amanda are here to answer that.
The finale delivered on many fronts and suffered in others. With many over-generalized arguments about the quality of writing and the state of Star Wars television as a whole floating around, join us in our attempt to understand all perspectives and share what Star Wars means to us.

The Duel of the Ranks crew dives into episodes 6 and 7 of The Acolyte. Amanda finds episode 6 more engaging with its darker story elements, while Brian enjoys episode 7's exploration of Sol's perspective and the Jedi's role in their own troubles. Both agree the episodes tackle the Jedi's moral failings and develop a compelling villain.
Brody admires the action sequences and the portrayal of the Wookie Jedi, but on the other hand, criticizes the show's illogical plot points and unbelievable character motivations. With the finale around the corner, our hosts attempt to understand the show's message amidst its chaotic pacing and appreciate the contributions The Acolyte has to offer to the Star Wars universe.

Our hosts, Brian, Brandon, and Chaco, share their thoughts on the newest episode of The Acolyte: Night. Brian and Brandon are fans of the action-packed episode, praising the best choreography, music, and tension we've gotten in this season. Brian particularly likes how Sol's character is evolving, while Brandon questions whether the villain, Quimir, is a true Sith.
Brody is less impressed. He finds the acting uneven and the plot predictable, although he acknowledges the show's impressive visuals. The discussion then takes a broader turn as the hosts debate what defines a Star Wars story and whether The Acolyte captures that essence.

On this week's episode of Duel of the Ranks, our hosts Luke, Alanis, and Choco debate the latest episode of The Acolyte. While some found the cliffhanger ending to be exciting, others were critical of the clunky dialogue, rushed character progression, and short run time. Speculation and intrigue for new characters such as Mae, Jecki, and Bassil are thriving despite recent outcry from segments of the fandom.
Additionally, the episode explores long-running questions about the Jedi Order, particularly their struggles with open-mindedness and appearing in control. Speculation flourishes around the mysterious "Darth Smiley," as our hosts craft theories about their identity and the significance of their mask. Join us next week as we debate ranks and hot takes from every corner of the galaxy.

Reviews for episode 3 of "The Acolyte" are all over the map. Brody finds the episode the weakest of all Star Wars content with a predictable plot, uninteresting characters, and being too focused on lore for die-hard fans. Luke and Choco offer a more positive take, enjoying the new information about the Force and the portrayal of the fallible Jedi. Brian agrees with the criticism of technical aspects of the show but finds the episode more rewarding on a second viewing.
The discussion takes a more speculative turn as connections between the witches, the Sith, and Jedi prophesies begin to evolve. The episode's effectiveness in establishing a compelling story, however, remains a point of contention as heavy lore appeals to a slimmer subset of the fanbase. While the episode has garnered a lot of negative attention online, our hosts attempt to dissect how much of the criticism is fueled by bad faith arguments while rationally assessing the flaws in its production.

On this week's episode of Duel of the Ranks, Brody, Amanda, and Luke review the first two episodes of the new Star Wars series "The Acolyte". While all enjoy the world building and additions to the lore, disagreement ensues on the overall "television" quality of the show.
Brody enjoys the characters and action sequences but found the story predictable and the cinematography a bit off. Amanda liked that the story subverts expectations and the treatment of the Force, aliens, and droids alike. Luke found new and familiar book characters interesting and the music to add depth to the experience. Overall, our hosts agree to tune out the negativity on the internet and want to enjoy the show free of bias. Join us as we debate ranks and hot takes from every perspective of The Acolyte.

In this week's episode of Duel of the Ranks, our hosts Alanis, Amanda, Brian, and Brody delve into speculative territory of the upcoming Star Wars series "The Acolyte." We expect the show to feature iconic characters like Yoda and potentially Darth Plagueis, while also venturing into uncharted territory with new Force abilities and shadowy Force cults. The Jedi Order being at the height of its power has the potential to add depth and contrast to the Skywalker Saga without being tied down to the series' core narrative.
Despite many far-reaching theories, the hosts recognize that the series might take a more grounded approach. Join us in our weekly discussion as we debate what each episode has to offer to the Star Wars lore as well as its own independent story.

On this week's episode of Duel of the Ranks, our hosts Amanda, Alanis, Luke, and Darth Choco analyze the best and weakest parts of "Tales of the Empire". The animation is praised, along with its focus on lesser-known corners of the Star Wars universe like the Nightsisters and the mountain clan. The exploration of Barriss Offee's story is also considered a strength. However, the episode titles are criticized for inconsistency, and the hosts debate whether the series could have been more narratively impactful. They question the overall purpose of the "Tales of" series, debating if it aims to expand the Star Wars lore, fill plot gaps, or simply serve as a collection of standalone stories.

Some found enjoyment in the action and closure for the Bad Batch crew, while others felt the episode lacked weight in the grand Star Wars narrative.

Disagreement arises over the importance of the finale connecting to the larger story, with some looking for tighter integration and others content with the standalone character development.
Predictions fly about future appearances of the Bad Batch, with speculation about cameos in shows like a theoretical Tales of the Rebellion.

Echo reuniting with other clones and Omega venturing on a risky mission are seen as highlights. The scoring and sound design receive their usual praise, but worry lingers that the remaining episode won't be enough to wrap up all the dangling plot threads.

Brian and Amanda debate the merits of episodes 8 and 9 of The Bad Batch season 3. An important discussion on what constitutes “filler” helps rationalize “Bad Territory” and helps us appreciate the details of the episode, such as the atmosphere and character design, while acknowledging the roundabout plot development.
As major Asajj Ventress fans, "The Harbinger" is decidedly more engaging. The return of the fan-favorite Clone Wars character is a highlight, though some listeners question the plausibility of her resurrection. The co-hosts express their differing views on this approach to storytelling as the episode leaves the audience with more questions than answers.

On this week's episode of Duel of the Ranks, we discuss episodes 6 and 7 of Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 3. Brian, Amanda, and Brody share their initial thoughts on the episodes, dissecting references, animation style, returning characters, plot developments, and action sequences.

Hosts Brody and Brody discuss the fifth episode of season 3 of "The Bad Batch" titled "The Return." Is it filler, or does the situation advance the characters forward in a meaningful way? With Omega and Crosshair back in the batch, the conflict revolves around unresolved tension between Hunter and his "prodigal brother."
Brody argues that "The Bad Batch" is a far more compelling story than "The Mandalorian". While "The Mandalorian" relies on guest appearances rather than a cohesive story, "The Bad Batch" focuses on developing its characters and their relationships. The discussion ends with Brian and Brody proposing various fan theories about where the plot is going, including the return of Tech as a villain and who else is going to bite the dust.

Brian, Amanda, and Brody dive into the fourth episode of season 3 of "The Bad Batch," titled "A Different Approach." The episode follows Omega and Crosshair as they escape a base but crash on a perilous planet. Forced to work together, they navigate the dangers and bicker over tactics while trying to find a way off-world. The episode eventually reunites them with the Bad Batch crew on another moon.
The hosts' opinions diverge on the episode. Amanda appreciates the slower pace that allows for character development. Brian enjoys the show overall and finds the character interactions engaging. They both acknowledge the lore expansion the episode brings to the Star Wars universe. However, Brody criticizes the use of plot devices and views the story as having low stakes and unimportant to the larger Star Wars narrative, ultimately giving it a lower rating. The discussion concludes with the hosts speculating on the fate of our characters and future plotlines for the series.

Brian and Amanda discuss their initial reactions to the season 3 premiere of The Bad Batch. They analyze how the first three episodes set the stage for the final season, focusing on Omega being experimented on at Mount Tantiss, Wrecker and Hunter finding young clones struggling to survive, and the escape attempt with Crosshair while Emperor Palpatine visits the research facility. The hosts praise the pacing, the new locations and creatures introduced, and the development of the characters' relationships.
Our hosts highlight the emotional weight of Omega's situation and how it raises the stakes for the clone army. The ethical implications of the Empire's experiments and larger themes of war and control in the Star Wars galaxy are prevalent and the introduction of young clones foreshadows a larger conflict brewing within the Empire. By dissecting these elements, Brian and Amanda offer listeners a deeper understanding of the narrative and its potential impact on the rest of the season.
Brian, Amanda and Brody tackle the three-part arc concluding The Clone Wars season 2 finale. Amanda throws shade on the animation and acting, but finds herself drawn to Aurra Sing's portrayal and her connection to Hondo Ohnaka. Brody, on the other hand, is a Boba Fett champion, praising the character's development and the flicker of hope extinguished by revenge.
The conversation snowballs into a broader discussion of Star Wars favorites and least favorites. While Plo Koon reigns supreme as their favorite Jedi Master (shocking no one?), Yoda lands firmly in Brian's "least favorite" category. With this season concluding, our hosts look forward to the final season of the Bad Batch and speculate on how it will wrap up the plotlines established in The Clone Wars over a decade ago.
Brian, Amanda, and Brody delve into a two-part Clone Wars arc centered around the colossal Zillo Beast. This monstrous creature is unearthed by a new Republic weapon, sparking a debate about its fate. The ethical dilemma takes center stage as the giant escapes and wreaks havoc on Coruscant.
The discussion goes beyond the monster-on-a-rampage trope, drawing comparisons to classic monster movies like Godzilla and King Kong. The hosts dissect the animation, plot predictability, and character motivations, while also uncovering intriguing details and foreshadowing connections to "The Bad Batch." With ratings placing this arc in the middle tier for Clone Wars adventures, the episode concludes with a look ahead to the next season of "The Bad Batch" and some hair-raising theories about potential character deaths.
Brian and Amanda delve into two enthralling episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, season two. "Cat and Mouse" sparks their interest with its thematic parallels to The Last Jedi. The episode introduces the formidable villain Admiral Trench and marks the true chronological beginning of the season.
"Bounty Hunters" takes a different turn, channeling the spirit of Akira Kurosawa's classic film Seven Samurai. This episode unveils a new group of bounty hunters as well as familiar scum and villainy such as the cunning Hondo Ohnaka. Both Brian and Amanda find these episodes to be a turning point for the series, impressed by the diversity of characters and storylines on display.
Amanda and Brian discuss and debate The Clone Wars episode 'Senate Murders' of Season 2, and Padme's journey of looking for WHO killed Senator Onaconda Farr!?
On top of this, Brian and Amanda also discussed The Bad Batch Season 3 Trailer, their predictions for the season, and their theories based on the trailer! VENTRESS LIVES!

Have you seen the 2008 animated Clone Wars film? Well prior to this review, Amanda and Brody had never seen it, nor did they have any plans to. Brian, however, a Clone Wars stan, had seen it when it released and implored that as such he's the only true fan of the bunch.
A film centered around the kidnapping of Jabba the Hutt's son, Anakin Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano must recover Jabba's son in order to foster a positive relationship between the Hutts and the Galactic Republic.
But was this movie any good? Listen in to our review to grab our thoughts on whether this movie was a hit or a giant heap of bantha fodder.

This week we’re ranking The Mandalorian Chapter 14: The Tragedy. And what a tragedy it was for Robert Rodriguez, having been subject to Brody’s ruthless critique of his directing style.

In this episode of Duel of the Ranks, Brody is joined by his old friend Mike as they discussed the Mandalorian Season 2, Chapter 13, The Jedi. As they discussed the episode, Mike realized that the show featured a lot of fan service, but it still told a meaningful story.
They discussed the tragedy of Ahsoka, her presence in the Force, and how she has been shaped by the universe around her.
"She's a nomad now, no home, no sense of belonging, just going out in the galaxy, trying to make it a better place for everyone else. And, yeah, you just feel sorry for her knowing all that she lost to get where she is today. It's just so sad."

Is Duel of the Ranks your favorite Star Wars podcast? Leave us a review and rating here!
This week we're ranking The Mandalorian Chapter 12: The Siege. It's not an episode of extremes, being neither amazing nor lackluster; however, we have some good and mediocre numbers tied to this one. Amanda loves the robotic ferret, but Christian could care less for it. Brody thinks the CGI for the scout troopers was crap, but Amanda and Christian thought it worked. We also debate what should be done with Gina Carano's character, Cara Dune, now that she's been removed from the franchise. Should they kill her off? Should she be re-cast or left alone to mystery? Tune in for our thoughts and the official rank!

A Star Wars-loving adult and a Star Wars-obsessed child must join forces to build a miniature Razor Crest and prevent the destruction of the universe when they uncover a key that unleashes a time-traveling adventure full of iconic cameos and unexpected humor. Just kidding, but we do some show-and-tell with our Christmas gifts (including a mini lego Razor Crest) and rank the beloved Lego Star Wars Holiday Special. Tune in for the festivities!
The episode follows Rey as she teaches Finn the ways of the Force and the prequel crew as they prepare for a Life Day celebration. Ray and BB8 find a special key that allows them to travel through time and interact with different characters from various timelines. The voice actors did a great job and there were lots of jokes and references. The technical aspects weren't the strongest, but the comedy, story, characters, and immersive universe all scored highly. There were cameos by Max Rebo and other characters, as well as jokes about the fandom, making it a charming holiday special.
You'll learn:
1. Where does the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special rank amongst the rest
2. What humorous references and cameo appearances did the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special include
3. How did the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special utilize Chris Pratt's comedic talent

When a mysterious bounty hunter clan challenges his traditional Mandalorian ways, a disillusioned Mando must fight his own inner demons and a ruthless Imperial Officer in order to reunite the child with his own kind.
"If there was ever a way to introduce Bo-Katan and all of her folks into live action well done. This was very well done. Well done."
This episode of the Mandalorian was all about furthering Mandalorian culture, providing insight into another Mandalorian way of life as we are introduced to Bo-Katan and other members of her clan. We learned that there is a difference between Mando's traditional and conservative views and the more progressive views of Bo-Katan's clan. The episode was filled with great action sequences, comedic moments, and technical effects that made it a great watch. We rated this episode 79.67%, making it one of the highest rated of the season and a great representation of the Mandalorian.

**In this week's episode of the Mandalorian, Mando is forced to take the passenger (AKA frog lady) and her eggs to her husband without being able to use light speed, leading them into an encounter with some terrifying spider aliens.
"The Mandalorian's creed is all about following through."
When Amanda was watching this episode, we learned about how her fear of spiders came into play. So much that she was forced hide under a blanket while her husband narrated what was happening.
We also talked about the X-Wing pilots and how they just really didn't seem to care about the Mando at the end of the day.
All in all, it was an emotionally exhausting episode for Amanda, and a fun ride for Brody.
In this episode, we go over:
1. Will Baby Yoda go to the dark side?
2. How will Mando fare against an armada of spiders?
3. What is the Republic doing now?

This week we’re ranking Andor Season 1 Ep. 11: Daughter of Ferrix. With Maarva’s death, Luthen’s laser spin murder move, and the glorious return of Linus Mosk, you’d think there would be more to praise from us.

This week we’re ranking Andor Season 1 Ep. 10: One Way Out. With Brody out this week, Amanda & Christian take it upon themselves to praise this series unhinged with the full power of the Force. We examine the music, sacrifices, and dehumanization taking place. With a legendary monologue by Luthen, Kino Loy’s heroic leadership, and Cassian working it all from the shadows, there’s a lot to love about this episode that will probably go down in history as one of the greats.

Nobody’s Listening! But we’re hoping you are. This week we’re ranking Andor Season 1 Episode 9. It was Andy Serkis’s time to shine as Kino Loy.

Tune in to hear Amanda & Christian duking it out while Brody blasphemes Rogue One.

In light of Rogue One, there’s a lot you’d think would show up, but that could all be a setup to blow your mind. Will we see Galen Erso, kyber crystals, Grand Moff Tarkin, or even Bor Gullet?

It’s a big week! We’re ranking the finale of season one of The Mandalorian, Chapter 8: Redemption. With it being our highest ranking episode of the season, there’s a lot to praise. However, it surprisingly ranked lower than another show we’ve previously ranked. What show might that be; is it not the best season of any Star Wars show?

It’s a lower ranking episode; however, that doesn’t mean we didn’t have fun with the many one-liners. Is filming inside The Volume not working for speeder chase scenes, or was Dave Filoni’s live-action directing debut a little rusty?

We got very political in this week’s discussion! The Star Wars ranking team is evaluating all that is good and bad about The Bad Batch Season 1 Episode 10: Common Ground.

We also have a few suggestions for Disney+, and compare Star Wars to McDonald’s. Tune in for the rank and some good debate!

The Star Wars ranking team is tackling two episodes of The Bad Batch in this week’s discussion! We’re ranking Episode 2: Cut and Run & Episode 3: Replacements. One was significantly better than the other, but not because of Cut’s mutton chops. Should clones have the ability to reproduce? Should there be more violence in order to truly witness a bad batch? Tune in to this week’s bundled episode.

The Star Wars ranking team has done it again! We’ve selected a new top-ranking episode of The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 6 - From the Desert Comes a Stranger.

In today’s episode, the Star Wars ranking team discusses Chapter 5 of The Mandalorian, I mean, The Book of Boba Fett: Return of the Mandalorian. How do you objectively rank an episode that has almost nothing to do with the sole character it hinges upon? We’ll be tackling that and listening to Brody unleash his fury due to Boba Fett’s absence.

In today's episode, the Duel of the Ranks crew break down Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. While some uphold it as the best movie ever created for Star Wars lore, others believe it should never have been made as the story is rushed, the characters lack purpose, and the movie as a whole just feels unnecessary. Listen in as we break down the final film in the Skywalker saga!

It’s here; one of the hottest takes of all. We’re ranking the most polarizing film of the saga: The Last Jedi. Is it best viewed as a stand alone movie, or is it a sequel that could’ve started something great? More importantly, will Brody and Amanda remain friends? Tune in as we evaluate the Holdo maneuver, puppet Yoda, and Rian Johnson lighting Star Wars on fire!

“There has been an awakening.” It’s our ranking of Episode VII: The Force Awakens! It’s fun to think back during the time of its hype. Is it more than just a rehash of A New Hope? Why is it Brody’s favorite film of the saga? Should it have even been added to the saga? Tune in as we dive deep into Han’s so-called ‘sacrifice’ and whether or not Kylo should’ve kept the mask on. It’s going to be great.

Get excited because in today’s episode we rank perhaps the most forgettable, unexciting, yet underrated movie in all of Star Wars…Solo: A Star Wars Story. Is it just a ‘cute’ movie? Should droids have the same rights as humans?
Is Christian just a crazy fanboy giving it a high ranking? Stay tuned while he defends it against the gang just continues to hate on this film.

In today's episode, we’re ranking perhaps the most epic of them all: Revenge of the Sith. It’s safe to say the DotR gang loves this prequel. Though for Charley, it’s more of a love-hate relationship. Don’t worry, he will answer for that! We get into Padme’s pregnancy timeline, Palpatine’s lightsaber, Mace Windu’s terrible attitude, and share a few solid rewrites of our own. Buckle up, and make sure you have the high ground.

In today’s episode we discuss the film that squeezed its way to the top of our cumulative ranks: Rogue One. How the heck did this one score the number one slot? Was it the fact that it’s a war film? Was it Darth Vader’s slaughter in the corridor? Or was it brand new characters self-sacrificing for the greater cause? We’ll get into all of it with Charley and Amanda’s absolute praise for the film and Brody’s grievances with the characters. “Bor Gullet!”

Attack of the ranks! We’re back and discussing the most romantic, lightsaber-packed episode in all of the saga: Attack of the Clones. Surprisingly, we all talked-up this film, having many fond memories while watching it. We even bumped up our scores during the conversation! Is Jango Fett the best character? Should his ship now be called Firespray instead of Slave I? Is Padme’s ship the coolest looking one in the galaxy? Tune in to this week’s fun episode obsessing over lore.

On today’s episode of Duel of the Ranks, we conclude the original trilogy with our analysis of Return of the Jedi. It’s Charley’s favorite film of the saga, and Brody’s favorite of the original trilogy. With all of the warm and fuzzy feelings at the end, what’s not to love? Though, isn’t it just frosting on the cake of the previous two films? Are Ewoks really ideal warriors? Was Boba Fett overrated? Tune in to our opinions on the metal bikini episode!

The DotR team strikes back! It’s a big day; we’re ranking what is arguably the best Star Wars film...ever: The Empire Strikes Back. Why do many love this film? If you don’t, have no fear, Brody doesn't seem to like it as much either. Or does he? In today’s episode, we all gang up on Brody and his heretical claims against Irvin Kirshner’s work of art. It’s the first time we see force-levitation, force ghosts, the Emperor, Tantauns, and much more. Love it or hate it, it’s a beautiful bridge between A New Hope and Return of the Jedi.

On today’s episode of Duel of the Ranks, we discuss the one that started it all: A New Hope. Imagine seeing for the first time the words “A long time ago in a galaxy far far away….” and then a big, loud, gold crawl to catch you up with a never before seen galactic civil war. How do you honestly rank this episode and pay it the respect it deserves? We’ll evaluate this film and all Star Wars media content with these five categories in mind: Story, Characters, Cinematography, Music, and Immersive Universe.

We’re launching our first episode, and boy is it a doozy. The Duel of the Ranks (DotR) gang consists of Brody, Amanda, Charley, and Christian; all with an interesting perspective on the classic space opera we all so dearly love (and sometimes hate).
We have Brody, our fearless squadron leader if you will, who ranks The Force Awakens as the best episode and Solo: A Star Wars Story as the worst. Not an easy position to defend, but he does it courageously. Next up, Amanda who is a rebel spitfire ready to tear down any common notions we hold firmly in this galaxy. She ranks The Last Jedi at the top with Solo also at the bottom (we’ll get to the bottom of this eventually). And then we have Charlie, more of a wise sage reminiscing of a simpler (pre-prequel) age, before the dark times. He ranks Return of the Jedi as the best episode with Revenge of the Sith as the worst. And finally Christian, a keeper of the peace (sometimes) who ranks Empire Strikes Back at the top and The Rise of Skywalker at the bottom.
What do they think of the other films in between? Will their opinions change? Who lays the best cases for their picks? Stay tuned while we hit just the tip of the iceberg in our launch episode!
