A Star Wars Legion Podcast - The Notorious Scoundrels

Isaac and Owen from The Fifth Trooper Podcast join Mike and Evan to air grievances about Legion and other things in this much-shorter than usual episode with even fewer (YES I SAID FEWER) useful bits of information than usual. Mike questions the legitimacy of "Nyquil Chicken," Owen questions whether Star Wars Eclipse is even real, Isaac questions what the guy in line at Starbucks REALLY knows about public health, and Evan questions the TV viewing habits of his co-hosts...and also, whether there is literally any hope at all. 00:00 Introduction and Soda Delivery Systems 08:12 Introduction to Festivus 11:07 Mike Grievance 1: Star Wars False Starts 14:09 Owen Grievance 1: Issues with Sprues 20:12 Isaac Grievance 1: Shattered Realism 26:34 Evan Grievance 1: Militant Legion Hipsterism 30:50 Mike Grievance 2: Early Access Video Games 38:51 Owen Grievance 2: Mike Barry 41:39 Isaac Grievance 2: Mandalorians Don't Feel Good 44:52 Evan Grievance 2: Misinformation in Social Media 53:43 Mike Grievance 3: The Auto Industry 56:38 Owen Grievance 3: Not ENOUGH SW Holiday Special Watchers 01:00:13 Isaac Grievance 3: Overdue Legion Units 01:02:28 Evan Grievance 3: Corps vs. Core, Fewer vs. Less, Evan vs. his own blog 01:09:21 C3LP's Holiday Grievances

Evan (according to Longshanks, and literally no one else, a Top 5 CIS player at the moment) still avoids losing tournament games with Bike GG and STAPS, we finish talking about future releases, and RESPOND to some HOT TAKES given by the LEGION DEVS on...A DIFFERENT PODCAST?

Evan announces our contest winners, then we go right into covering our TAKES on General Grievous on the Wheel Bike and Clone Marksmen, with a list review in the middle for good measure.

We discuss news and Gen Con results with its winner, Brian Baer. ALSO, here is a PSA about Hondo that comes directly from Atomic Mass Games: "For the Hondo Ohnaka promotion, it is part of Hobby Next. This is the promotional program run by Asmodee. For game stores to be part of it, they need to reach out to their Asmodee Rep, where they can get their allocation for the mini. Their Asmodee Rep will have the information. If they are on the Asmodee Retailer Newsletter, there were a few different communications sent out."
