Coffee With Kenobi: Star Wars Community & Conversation

For the first time in years, Dan Zehr returns live—joined by Coffee With Kenobi co-creator and original co-host Cory Clubb for a special night at the CWK table. More than thirteen years after helping launch Coffee With Kenobi together, Dan and Cory reunite to celebrate where CWK has been, where it's going, and the conversations still waiting to be had. Star Wars remains at the heart of Coffee With Kenobi, but the galaxy is just the beginning.Dan introduces Freshly Brewed Conversation and the next chapter of CWK, where we're making the table a little bigger for Star Wars and the larger world of popular culture—from movies, television, books, comics, superheroes, pro wrestling, and sports to theme parks, collecting, travel, food, and whatever else has us talking. Dan and Cory also discuss a recent report from The Hollywood Reporter concerning filmmaker John Watts and the future of Star Wars—including the report that Watts is being considered to direct Episode X. As always, the conversation focuses on the reporting itself and what it could mean for the future of Star Wars, rather than presenting unconfirmed information as fact. And because this is CWK LIVE, you're part of the show! Join Dan and Cory with your comments, questions, memories, and conversation as an old friend returns to the table to kick off something new. Same Coffee With Kenobi. Same community. A bigger table.

Brendan Wayne joins me for a wonderful conversation about his journey into the galaxy far, far away, including the story behind his audition for The Mandalorian and becoming part of the series. But our conversation goes well beyond Star Wars as we explore our shared love of stories, the craft of storytelling, and why the characters and worlds we discover can stay with us throughout our lives.
