What better way to celebrate our yearly look at Star Wars than to give you lucky people even more Star Wars commentaries in the month of November?
Fresh from the 2005 Clone Wars series, the MMM Team decided to tackle some episodes from the new Clone Wars series. We delved back into Season 1 of this superb series and began our journey with one of the episodes that put this fledgling series on the map – Rising Malevolence.
The Jedi are up against the evil Grevious and Count Dooku and a sinister new super-weapon. A ship capable of rendering any vessel inactive with its awesome ion cannon.
Join Trevor, Gecko, Tony and Geoff as we commentate on this exciting episode.

It’s a tradition that stretches back many years to the great day of the Star Wars Marathon, where we watched all six Star Wars films in one sitting.
So this month we are proud to bring you Clone Wars – Volume 2. Last year we did Volume 1, so it seemed the sensible thing to do to bring a close to this 2005 animated series set between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.
Trevor, David, Gecko and Geoff pour over this colourful Star Wars offering and offer our thoughts.
MMM Commentary: Star Wars - Clone Wars Volume 2 [ 1:02:49 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1085)After a few quiet years, 2008 was the time when Star Wars became once more ahem animated In recognition of the Clone Wars film (is it a film?) and TV show MMM turns its eyes to a long time ago in an animation studio far far away: the original Clone Wars (gee that name turns up a lot) series for the Cartoon Network.
In three to five minute bites, the check-shirted One and his acolytes filled in the blanks on the attritic war between the Republic and the Separatists when Anakin wasn’t such a bad guy, IG-88 was still a steel sapling and Obi-Wan was trying out the latest in armour-cape combinations.
Being an MMM Star Wars commentary there is plenty of discussion of the nature of the animation, the hero’s story arc and the logistical importance of the Clone Wars story line. Of course there’s time for topics like: Who does Dooku root for in battle? Why don’t the Jedi just push planets into the Sun and is it racist that the most dangerous jobs always fall to Mace.
Another year, another Star Wars project. Join us.

The Great MMM Star Wars Project!
At long last, after months of expectation, wonderment and inboxes of email pleading for more details, MMM is proud to bring you the fabled Star Wars Project, much alluded to in our recent podcasts. Please, please read the info below as this release marks a new direction for MMM in the way it releases its commentaries.
It’s a little known fact that the boys at MMM have been friends for much, much longer than anyone really knows. We have been friends for so long that we experienced the thrill of Star Wars being released in those amazing times of the late seventies.
The boys were so caught up in the hype with the film that they wanted to record their thoughts for other to listen to in the future. So, with a portable reel-to-reel tape recorder, a film projector and a borrowed print of the film, the boys, who would one day be the fabled MMM Team, got together and recorded their views on the film, whilst watching it displayed from their noisy projector onto Trevor’s bedsheet in the living room.
Without realising it they invented what is now known as an an alternate commentary, or a podcast, or even what is known in some circles as a CROW (Commentary Released on the Web).
Locked away in the vault for many years, the MMM Team felt it was time to release this ground-breaking, landmark recording for all the world to hear.
Experience all over again the visceral thrill of watching the first Star Wars film for the first time with the MMM Team. Trevor, Tony, David and Geoff, together again, watching the film all those years ago and preserving forever their thoughts and feelings of this seminal experience on audio tape.
This is an MMM commentary that you will remember for many years.
Now for the important bit – starting with this release, all MMM commentary files will have an introduction to them – the file will now NOT start with the beginning of the film. During the introduction, a clear signal will be given for when you need to press PLAY on your DVD player so you can remain in sync with the recording. This process will now be used for any new release from MMM (excluding the ongong release of Doctor Who – The Two Doctors).
Please note this recording was done with the original 35mm print of the film, so if you want to follow along with the team, you will need the DVD of the original film, the version which doesn’t have all the digital enhancements and trickery we are now used to. This commentary was recorded using the ORIGINAL version of the film.
You can also listen to the commentary for Star Wars – A New Hope recorded as part of our Star Wars Marathon.

They said it couldn’t be done. They laughed when we told them we were going to do it. They derided us – we wouldn’t make it, foolhardy to even think of doing it. No prizes for failure.
But we ignored them all, and soldiered on, and so now we proudly present to you the MMM commentary for what many regard as the worst bit of television ever made – The Star Wars Holiday Special (or more commonly known as The One Where They Went to Chewbacca’s House.
For those unfamiliar with this particular part of the Star Wars universe… well… its probably best you remain that way. But if you really want to know, the Holiday Special was burped into existence in 1980 (for canon fans it sits between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. The show itself is an uneasy mix between cabaret, comedy and sit-com, featuring a galaxy of stars who made their one and only appearance in a Star Wars film. Just some of the stars convinced/bribed/drugged into appearing are Art Carney, Diahann Carroll, and Beatrice Arthur. The cherry on the top of this rather large piece of confection is a musical number by Jefferson Starship.
So download, sit back and enjoy the MMM team’s take on this little known part of the Star Wars universe.
Due to the relative scarcity of the show in question (Lucas abhors it, and wishes he could destroy every copy) it has been decided to include the audio from the production in the background of our commentary so that the listener may share and enjoy at least some of the agony with us.
On November 20 the award-winning MMM team attempted the impossible (or at least extremely ill-advised) and completed the entire six-film saga IN ONE SESSION. From the Blockade Runner to Beru and her baby, you can now share in the experience. Do not miss one scintillating second. Views, insights, anecdotes and the only chance to hear a Star Wars commentary sans Ben Burtt. It’s all here, no breaks, no edits, no idea.
Tune in and you will really will feel as though it all started “a long time ago”
One man had a dream…
David, one of our esteemed MMM Commentaries team, had an idea.
That idea was to do a marathon commentary session encompassing all six Star Wars films. Not only to provide our unique alternate, fan-made commentaries for each film, but to record them in one big session.
This took place on the 20th November, 2005. Starting at 8.25am, the MMM Commentaries team began with A New Hope, and finished at approximately 10.45pm that same day with Revenge of the Sith.
These commentaries are now available for your listening pleasure. We would love to hear your thoughts.
