The Collective fires up the holoprojector and takes on Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) — yes, the movie, not the series you actually love. From baby Jabba the Hutt (a.k.a. Stinky) to Anakin suddenly being a dad, we laugh our way through the highs, lows, and “what were they thinking?” moments of this animated detour. Was this the rocky launchpad the galaxy needed, or just a weird footnote in Star Wars history? Grab your lightsaber (or your popcorn) and join us for some Jedi-level banter.

In this episode, the Collective takes to the skies with Studio Ghibli’s airborne antihero in Porco Rosso. Together, they explore the film’s rich blend of whimsy, melancholy, and political undercurrents, unpacking why this story of a cursed pilot pig resonates so deeply. From the elegance of its aerial dogfights to the quiet heartbreak of unspoken love, the Collective dives into what makes Porco Rosso one of Hayao Miyazaki’s most quietly profound works.

Is it a kids’ film, a war story, or a poetic meditation on identity? The Collective has thoughts—plenty of them. Tune in for spirited discussion, heartfelt nostalgia, and a healthy dose of sky-bound wonder.
