First ep was really dope. I'm already a Natalie fan and can't wait for more.
Coincidentally, I started watching The Clone Wars this year, so it couldn't possibly come at a better time for me.

And I know the Clone Wars is a long show, but I hope hope hope they end up doing eps on the rest of the movies.

Waypoint is great so I'll probably give this a listen even though I don't have much investment in Star Wars.

It was really fun. Rob, Austin and Ali have sort of a longer investment in Star Wars (Though each came by that differently), and Natalie's got a bit less history there (Though she had seen movies when younger) so you get a bunch of good perspectives.

Also they got me really interested in watching the making of documentary for The Phantom Menace, it sounds a lot more interesting and real than the usual marketing focused making of features.

I guess this is what will get me to watch Clone Wars.

Just finished season 1 of clone wars after finally taking the plunge thanks to Mando, so this is perfect. Love the Waypoint peeps!

I know a lot of listeners and apparently Vice hated it, but I loved the 20+ hours of Pride and Prejudice podcasts. I'm in for some Clone Wars chat.

I love Austin's analysis and the waypoint crew is dope. I'm listening to Newcomers with Lauren Lapkus and Nicole Byer and I'm finding that beyond a couple episodes I can't do it. I'm actually burned out on Star Wars after seeing 9 a year ago. Hopefully one day I'll plug in to this as I've never seen clone wars.

Yes! I'm so ready for this. Listening to the first episode, and it's great. As a lifelong Star Wars fan, my one glaring blind spot is the Clone Wars cartoon. Mandalorian gave me the urge to binge the series and this podcast I think is the final tipping point to actually get me to watch it. The podcast crew is straight awesome!

After taking Austins advice last year and watching neo Evangelion I don't know if I can trust his judgment. Listened to their companion podcast for that series.

I could be tempted as I've only seen a few clone wars episodes

What the name of that podcast?

Ah I forget but it's part of the vice network of podcasts. I stopped listening around when Danielle left but if I remember correctly her and Austin did a podcast about the whole show. Danielle had never watched it before and Austin is obsessed with it so it was a good balance

I found it under the regular Waypoint Radio feed but it's a separate show called Waypoints. It's episode number 35 and comes after the regular episode number 243.

This is such a perfect cross-section of things for me. Listened to the first episode last night, and hearing Austin and Rob go Full Tilt Turbonerd on this is amazing.

Never seen the show but a podcast from the Waypoint crew may be just the incentive I need. I have to admit the art style has always been a turn off even though I've heard a lot of praise for the show.

Honestly, what a banger of a gift. I rewatched the prequels last year for the first time in a decade plus, and came to kinda like them, conflicted feelings and all; I'm watching season 5 of the Clone Wars right now. And seeing as I joined this crew for 12 or more hours of a Pride and Prejudice podcast, which ended up being one of my favorite podcast experiences ever...yeah, I couldn't be more about this.

Just finished the first episode. Rob and Austin pulling in extensive Legends knowledge and really taking the universe and ideas seriously, mixed with laughing at the silliness. The other hosts are a good balance too, Natalie having not really seen much Star Wars at all.

2 hours in - this is fantastic! They are not just going through the prequels, right?
Can see myself listening to this regularly.

There's not Video version though, right? Would like to have that in the background while working.

I doubt they ever do video pods unfortunately. Austin on twitter did say they might do the Mandalorian when they get around to it and that the Gennedy Clone Wars might get a special one off if they feel like it.

Man, I really wish this was just a reboot of Be Good and Rewatch it instead of Star Wars focused. I do not wish to hear anyone talk about Star Wars for even another second. But I like these folks, so maybe I'll give it a chance.

Listened to the first episode. First time hearing the talent and I didn't really connect to it. There's some interesting political insight but nothing overly different from an average Star Wars review podcast. The Legends pulls are fun though since I know 0 about it. Maybe I'm just looking for something constructive and how to fix the prequels. I zoned out during the podcasting thinking how to rewrite it.

Glad others are enjoying it though. Maybe I'll check in for episode 2.

As someone who listens to pretty much everything Austin's in (which is A LOT of stuff), I can't believe he's making me watch clone wars now. It doesn't help the rest of the cast I also love. Listened to the first episode yesterday and I'm hooked so I guess I'm into Clone Wars now.

When I saw the tweet announcing this, I immediately turned on and watched TPM for the first time in over a decade lol. Couldn't be more on board with this crew.

The Attack of the Clones episodes so damn good, I missed this team since the Kingdom hearts podcast. Natalie's energy is fantastic and is hilarious and Rob's delivery is always on point.

Got excited thinking this would be about the superb Genndy Tartakovsky shorts, but it's actually about the CGI thing.

These prequel episodes have been great, but there is no way I'm watching that.
