The Disney sale in 2012 ushered in a whole lot of changes in a new era of Star Wars animation.

As we said goodbye to fan favorites, we also got to welcome in new characters, shows, and projects.

... Welcome to Sky Talkers. Here are your hosts, Charlotte and Caitlin.

Hello and welcome to Sky Talkers. I'm your host, Charlotte.

Hey, everyone. I'm your other host, Caitlin, and welcome to the second episode of our Lucasfilm Animation series, our summer series.

We are in part two, which means we have reached 2012.

We're here. In the last episode, we covered basically from the holiday special until the release of the original run of the Clone Wars.

So that's where we are in the timeline.

And in this episode, there's like a whole lot of random stuff that happens.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think that last episode was very sequential and we were also covering a lot more

time, whereas now we're looking at 2012 to 2018 and there's a lot going on.

So it's going to be a little bit all over the place.

It's some part history, some part personal anecdotes, some part analysis, just a little bit of everything in this episode, quite the mixed bag, I think.

Yeah, absolutely. And I just want to reiterate if this is your first time listening and you didn't listen to part one. We're just fans. We are

compiling sources from our different books that we have, different articles we've seen online,

different press releases, and we're just fans compiling it all together and creating a sort of

timeline and commenting on it in our own objective way. So take that as you will. And should we get going, Caitlin?

Yeah, I think we should. Okay. Awesome. So in part one, we're going to be talking about the Disney sale and the changes that followed.

And in part two, we're going to be reflecting on Star Wars rebels. And in part three,

we're going to be discussing Strange Magic, Lego Star Wars Freemakers, and Forces of Destiny. So without

further ado, let's get started. Obviously, I've been talking about retiring for several years now.
