We’re starting a new series of posts here at SciFi Mafia that we’re calling Web Series Wednesday where we devote a space to the wonderment of the web series. Every Wednesday we’ll cover two awesome web series shows and give you all the info to get into them.
If you’ve got a favorite web series you’d like us to cover, head on over to the Contact Us page and shoot us your request.
This week we’re covering School of Thrones and Course of the Force.
Prom night is coming to Westeros High in the web series, School of Thrones, and the clicks are all vying for their right to the throne. The season consists of three episodes all well under 10 minutes. The bromance between Robb Stark and Theon Greyjoy is my favorite. The series starts out pretty fun and seems like it would have had a lot of potential but then ends sort of weird. I’m not sure that it’s really open for a season two, but I wouldn’t mind seeing more.
School of Thrones stars Michael Coleman as Mr. Baelish, Mary Kate Wiles as Sansa Stark, Nick Palatas as Robb Stark, Luke Morgan as Joffrey Lannister, Joey Richter as Theon Greyjoy, Austin Rogers as Jon Snow, Ashly Burch as Dany Targaryen, Nic Novicki as Tyrion Lannister, Brendan Bradley as Renly Baratheon, Maxwell Glick as Stannis Baratheon, Marisha Ray as Melisandre, Matthew Boehm as Loras Tyrell, Whitney Milam as Margaery Tyrell, Ken Napzok as Coach Balon, Sax Carr as Varys the Spider, Greg Niebel as Tywin Lannister, and Joel Geist as Jaime Lannister. Here’s the first episode.

We’ve covered Course of the Force previously. It’s a web series available on Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist YouTube channel and is a lead up to a charity event for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The series is still in progress and we’ll likely cover it again once it’s completed. Here’s the synopsis and first episode.
It is a time of peace in California thanks to the inaugural Course of the Force, a charity lightsaber relay down the coast to San Diego to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. But the Make-A-Wish Foundation is still in need and the Course of the Force High Council has been summoned a second time. Starting at Skywalker Ranch runners will carry the lightsaber down to the 2013 Comic-Con International in San Diego.
On the eve of the relay race, Nerdist member Matt Mira has journeyed to Industrial Light and Magic to retrieve the Course of the Force lightsaber…
