As promised, here's our preview of Star Wars: Zero Company. We'll be back in two weeks covering the first trade of Dr. Aphra!

We'll be back in two weeks with Part 1 of our Aphra coverage, but today we'll delve into our early hours with Bit Reactor's Star Wars: Zero Company. It's seemingly an excellent debut for the st...

To be as clear as possible, we're just doing a single ep on the Zero Company preview build, we're not doing a whole Zero Company season. We'll be back to Aphra in the ep after next! (So late August).

@morecivilized.bsky.social Jul 30, 2026, 7:56 PM

The plan is to do that after, but given our history with tactics games and RPGs, we couldn't NOT talk about playing Zero Company as soon as the embargo lets us.

@steve2911.bsky.socialJul 30, 2026, 7:53 PM

Is that a pivot away from Aphra or is the plan still to do that next?

@morecivilized.bsky.social Jul 30, 2026, 7:55 PM

haha whoops, fixed!

Patreon Q&A for July is now live, along with a quick summer break announcement that I'll duplicate here for non-patrons:

We're going to take a little break and come back to the main feed the week of August 9th... with our hands on impressions of Star Wars: Zero Company.

New Ep! Vader has met yet another princess, and this one he's deciding to use as his tool to break the rebellion of the Ore Barons of Shu-Torun, a lava-covered world of great mineral wealth. Also: Droid vampires?

We are back with more of 2015’s Vader comic, which pits the Dark Lord of the Sith against a very effective detective.

We’re gonna cover it on the Patreon early next month

If there's ever a physical release or if Disney+ is removed from the BDS priority targets list, definitely.

@morecivilized.bsky.social May 13, 2026, 8:15 PM

Yeah it's definitely the bit of A Jedi's Fury from like 1:10 to 1:48. It's what plays right after Vader says "...then perhaps she will."

@morecivilized.bsky.social May 13, 2026, 7:48 PM

We're doing one trade per ep.

@morecivilized.bsky.social May 13, 2026, 7:23 PM

And for those curious about what's coming next... On Rob's suggestion, we're digging into @kierongillen.bsky.social and Salvador Larroca's thus-far excellent 2015 Darth Vader comics series! We're one episode of recording in and having a blast.

Today, we wrap up our deep dive into the Original Trilogy! Our takeaway, in brief: Return of the Jedi is both the moral heart of Star Wars and the blueprint for its transformation into "a franchise." Listen in!

We've made it to the origin of the little green freak who torments us The Empire Strikes Back! We also consider if, in a way, ESB is where "Star Wars" as we know it today really begins!

My internet is down, so I can’t upload the file tonight 🙃 Look for it tomorrow morning/early afternoon, once Spectrum gets me Internet back

Hey y'all, Part 1 (😩) of our Star Wars episode is still in the edit, and will be coming later tonight!

Hey everyone, the east coast blizzard has kept us from being able to record our normal episode this week, but we thankfully DID get the February bonus pod in the can before it hit, and that is now live in the Patreon feed!
