When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport. Learn more at www.lbi.org/kollisch . Exile is a production of the Leo Baeck Institute , New York | Berlin and Antica Productions . It’s narrated by Mandy Patinkin. Executive Producers include Katrina Onstad, Stuart Coxe, and Bernie Blum. Senior Producer is Debbie Pacheco. Associate Producers are Hailey Choi and Emily Morantz. Research and translation by Isabella Kempf. Sound design and audio mix by Philip Wilson, with help from Cameron McIver. Theme music by Oliver Wickham. Voice acting by Natalia Bushnik. Special thanks to the Kollisch family for the use of Eva’s two memoirs, “Girl in Movement” and “The Ground Under My Feet”, the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College and their “Voices of Feminism Oral History Project”, and Soundtrack New York.…

After an unexpected hiatus (sorry!! Loth-flu is catching!!) we’re just in time for “Sanctuary,” (The Mandalorian, Chapter 4)...and the introduction of the tough and tender Carasynthia Dune.

This week, we dive behind the camera to explore the female gaze in The Mandalorian and how it stems from the first female directors of a live-action Star Wars project. We dig into Cara Dune’s backstory, the classic Star Wars village story, the comparisons between “Sanctuary” and the Clone Wars’ “Bounty Hunters,” and the state of our main characters’ moral codes.

We also discuss separating artists from their art, and relish in how live-action shows continue to make the Empire scarier than in the movies—a pressing and relevant reminder of fascism’s deep roots in the galaxy.

We are well along on our Mandalorian coverage, and now is a fantastic time to join us!

This could be a real adventure—and a real vibe shift for Growing Up Skywalker. Hot off the heels of our coverage of The Mandalorian’s first season, we’re diving into a brighter side of the galaxy in Skeleton Crew. In our recap of the premiere, “This Could Be a Real Adventure,” we discuss the mysteries of At Attin, the tyranny of suburbs, and the glorification of busyness. We also cover the critical reception of the show (which contrasts heavily with the reception of The Acolyte during a similar timeframe) and continue our Mandalorian-era discussion of justice as enforced by the New Republic. Neither Sam nor Anna has ever seen Skeleton Crew before, so we’re all in this adventure together! Want more Growing Up Skywalker?

Callbacks to Rebels and The Clone Wars abound in The Mandalorian’s season 1 finale, but in the end, this show has always known what it’s really about. In our recap of “Redemption” (The Mandalorian Season 1, Chapter 8), we wrestle with questions of honor, if it matters, and why it’s so important to try. We also cover the chain of ownership of darksaber (and question why Lando doesn’t have it??), the importance of the Child, and the role of Moff Gideon in the somehow still-functioning Empire (???). Buckle up—this could be a real adventure! Next week, we’re shifting vibes entirely to cover the premiere of Skeleton Crew (!!!!!!!!). Want more Growing Up Skywalker?

Maarva Andor's words about reckonings loom over our discussion today. As authoritarianism creeps over the United States, we’re finding parallels to the Imperial Era everywhere. In “The Reckoning” (The Mandalorian, Chapter 7), we explore the governance (and lack thereof) of the New Republic, the rise of fascism in a post-Endor era, and what the Empire looks like in ABY 9. We also pay an homage to Kuiil—the original Bae, and one of the reasons for the start of Growing Up Skywalker—by exploring the concept of honor. This cliffhanger episode ratchets up the tension, and we have a ton to say about the political reality of The Mandalorian (and our own time).

Mando’s in his freelance era. (Spoiler alert: It’s not going that great??) In “The Prisoner,” (The Mandalorian, Chapter 6), we take a good long look at prison, punishment, and justice in the New Republic Era. We talk through the DELIGHTFUL cameos of this episode—Matt Lanter, Dave Filoni, Deborah Chow, Rick Famuyiwa, and more—and ask ourselves…Does Mando have a plan? Want more Growing Up Skywalker?

He’s a rich boy, and he’s gone too far… This week, we’re talking about honor, traitors, quests, rich newbies, and elite assassins in The Mandalorian, Chapter 5, “The Gunslinger.” Is Toro Calican an inexperienced newbie, or a seasoned killer? What’s Fennec Shand been up to since we saw her in the Bad Batch? And is the Mandalorian a paragon of honor, or a morally ambiguous cowboy?

The Spaghetti Western spirit is strong in The Mandalorian, Chapter 3: “The Sin.” This week, we dive deep into the Mandalorian’s crisis of ethics, starting with the Bounty Hunter Guild Code and ending with his loyalty to the Mandalorian Creed.

In which all Mando wants is to get off-planet without being besieged by rogues and scavengers. This week, in our recap of The Mandalorian’s Chapter 2, “The Child,” we talk through the Mandalorian’s stylish, distinct, comic book-esque visual language and the rights of Mudhorns to, you know, peacefully exist. We also talk about the Mandalorian’s code of ethics—which is in flux—and what it must feel like for a highly professional bounty hunter to suddenly…not be in his element.

Three and a half years ago, Growing Up Skywalker began a non-toxic, chronological weekly watchthrough of all of Star Wars—with the goal of getting to The Mandalorian. And we’re here! We’re finally here! On the show this week, we’re recapping the premiere of the shot heard ’round the world in the form of the first Star Wars live-action TV show, “The Mandalorian.” We talk through justice in the Era of the New Republic, the mishmash of ancient legend + spaghetti Western + samurai story + space opera, and the reason we created our fan-favorite segment, Bae Watch.

We often talk about how every Star Wars character’s story forms a tile in the mosaic of the galaxy, and Barriss Offee’s tale is no exception. In our final “catch-up” episode to get back into chronological order, we’re covering Tales of the Empire: Barriss’s Tale (S1, Ep. 4–6, “Devoted,” “Realization,” and “The Way Out”). We dive into themes of redemption, the parallels between Barriss, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka, and the archetype of The Crone. AND FINALLY!

It’s the end of an era…a Bad one. In the Bad Batch finale ("The Cavalry has Arrived," S3 Ep.15), heroic and monstrous intervention combine to conclude this dark and beautiful chapter of Star Wars. This episode showcases what the Bad Batch is capable of even when outnumbered, bruised, battered, and ambushed. With our heroes hanging up their blasters, it's time for a new generation to take the fight to the Empire. That’s true for us, too—we’re finishing our catch-up era by watching Tales of the Empire (Barriss’s Tale) next week. What should we watch after that? Skeleton Crew, or The Mandalorian? Let us know!

Surprise! We’re throwing a fastball—this week, we’re covering all three of the episodes leading up to the Bad Batch finale. Over this week’s episodes (“Juggernaut,” “Into The Breach,” and “Flash Strike,” S3 Ep. 12–14), the Batch calls in essentially every favor they have left. A Monster truck-style tank battle, a tautly executed stealth mission, and a rush through the jungle of Wayland leave our heroes set up for the endgame. We talk through how the Batch is laying a blueprint for the nascent Rebellion and what their fates might mean for the next 10 years of anti-Imperial sentiment. This is the Bad Batch at its best.

At first blush, these episodes are beautiful, but surface level. On closer inspection, they turn into a surprisingly moving—and compelling—statement on anti-fascist work. This week, we talk through the work happening at the Mount Tantiss facility, the long fascist history of medical experimentation, and how community is the answer to oppression…until even community may not be enough.
