"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! We'll talk about its history, which leads to some thoughts about how canon and legends storytelling *could* co-exist together. Punch it! (Enjoy the show?

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 little gift Star Wars fans got on the Disney Channel's YouTube channel on May the 4th was a delightfully rewatchable two minutes of animated fun. It's "How NOT to Draw R2-D2," and I'll share a bunch of reasons why it's awesome on today's show. Punch it! (Enjoy the show?

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. And in all honesty, for this being a Mother's Day thing, they do Marge dirty throughout. Punch it! (Enjoy the show?

There's so much more happening in the month of May related to Star Wars storytelling than I fully clocked when we did our first-of-the-month episode! So we're updating now, and (with lots of advance warning) talking about a spoiler-y new Acolyte spot. Punch it! And as promised on the show, here's the new spot for The Acolyte - watch it at your own spoiler-y risk: https://streamable.com/j8ekd0 (Enjoy the show?

A new commercial spot for The Acolyte hit the Star Wars YouTube channel (on a Saturday?) and shows us more of the fight between Mae and Master Indara. But between this and the trailers we've received so far, are we being subjected to intentional misdirection? Punch it! (Enjoy the show?

Today, it's the second half of my conversation with Cass Sunstein, the author of the upcoming "How to Become Famous."

People are making a connection between the Sith at the end of the latest Acolyte trailer and a horrific dark-side entity from Legends that's also connected to the Mortis gods.

In the prequel trilogy, Yoda and Mace Windu discussed the idea of the Jedi's powers being diminshed. Could it be because the Jedi Temple on Coruscant was built over a Sith Shrine? And Jedi were inside it at least as recently as 100 years before The Acolyte series? Punch it! (Enjoy the show?

We're still talking about the second trailer for The Acolyte! Something Mother Aniseya says near the end of the trailer, like Qimir's mini-monologue near the beginning, turns what we think we know on its head. Are these "Force witches" actually working on the light side of the Force - and, just maybe, on the right side of history? Punch it! (Enjoy the show?

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?
