But what if the Nightsisters won that battle? Could they have stood against the wrath of Darth Sidious? Become a force for the Jedi to reckon with? Or would they have hidden themselves away from the gaze of the galaxy?

He's one of the most compelling villains in all of Star Wars, respected by Palpatine and Darth Vader, feared by the New Republic... and somehow he only appeared in live action this year. This week, Adam and James take a dive into the backstory of the inimitable Grand Admiral Thrawn, exploring how he rose to power in the old Expanded Universe and how that differs in the new canon timeline.

Ah, Kino Loy. He was a fan-favourite the moment he appeared in Andor, but sadly one who was taken from us too soon – and all because he couldn't swim. But what if Kino Loy had taken to the water like a Mon Calamari? This week Adam and James shine their spotlight on this iconic Andy Serkis character and ask where his life might have gone had he survived the escape from Narkina 5. From joining up with the Ghost crew to fleeing the dramatic wake of Cassian Andor's life, get on programme and listen on...

But this week Adam and James are digging into a character who easily trumps them both: Shaak Ti. From duels with General Grievous to Lego Star Wars shenanigans, get ready for the story of the Jedi Master who just can't seem to stay dead...

This week Adam and James delve into their weirdest alternate timeline yet, following the junk magnate of Jakku on a journey of restauranteur rivalries, high society decadence, and far, far too many laxatives...
