We're keeping away from Acolyte spoilers by checking out Tales of the Empire! Toyda, we're covering the last of the episodes, "The Way Out," which jumps us into the future with Barriss and Lyn/the Fourth Sister, but ends ambiguously - or does it? Punch it! (Enjoy the show?

Barriss Offee's experience in Tales of the Empire is just the latest example of how that's not the case. We'll discuss this in our deep dive episode tied to "Realization," and even bring in Anakin for comparison. Punch it! (Enjoy the show?

"Realization" is the right word for this Barriss Offee episode of Tales of the Empire, as Barriss finally understands that there are worse things in the galaxy than the Jedi Order - and not only did she help enable it, but she also became a part of it.

As opposed to "Fear" and "Anger" before it, "The Path of Hate" - the final Morgan Elsbeth episode in Tales of the Empire - answers comparartively minor questions and reminds us of much bigger questions without resolving them.

A short Acolyte video that seemed too spoilery for prime time has had the relevant part of that assessment added to "Plan," a new spot on the Star Wars YouTube channel.

"Huttball" is allegedly the galaxy's favorite game - but its first canon appearance is in Star Wars Hunters. And prior to that, it was only in The Old Republic video game!

It's one thing to consider Star Wars Hunters as an Overwatch/Apex Legends kind of game. It's another to consider the meta-narrative of sports in the Star Wars galaxy, and how Hunters is continuing a thread that started with The Phantom Menace and has accelerated in the Disney era.

The "May the 12th" Simpsons Star Wars short on Disney+ has its share of moments that will probably make you smile, but it's not a can't-miss thing.

For something that could be considered so boring, I loved his enthusiasm and joy for doing his job :) Loved hearing some of the behind the scenes.
I ♥️ Star Wars😁😁😁😁😁😍😍
great show delivering everything we need to know about our favorite franchise!
I have now watched the Last Jedi 2 times and then I watched the Lucas movies. I have watched the clone wars. There is a story line there. The last Jedi dosent carry that story forward. It treats those movies like myth and legends. they treat those movies with contempt. I don't think people who are fans will like this. I think they are killing this story line on purpose. I think they see it as a tether that needs to be cut in order to expand the universe and they are going down a path I can't follow. Rogue one showed they could expand the universe with out messing with this story line but I can't see how they will win the trust of the fans back?
