On this episode, Dominic, Ben, and Chris are joined by returning champion Selene Jade (Twitter) and SWU senior British correspondent Ciaran Duggan (Twitter) to discuss the season two finale of The Mandalorian, "The Rescue".  They talk about the debut of Luke Skywalker on the series, how well the de-aging effect worked, his "hallway scene", and how he impacted the story.  They also talk about Grogu's decision to go with Luke, and what the final scene between Din and Grogu meant.  In addition, they also talk about the new tension between Bo-Katan and Din Djarin over the darksaber.  Plus, Moff Gideon's role in the story, the Empire's presence in the galaxy at this moment in time, and the announcement of The Book of Boba Fett.  All this and much more!

On this episode, Dominic, Ben, and Chris continue to make sense of last week's avalanche of exciting Star Wars news!  But first, they pay tribute to life of Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi).  Then they talk about the upcoming Star Wars: Rogue Squadron movie and speculate about where in the timeline the movie might be set.  Then they talk about what was in the hidden Obi-Wan Kenobi footage, and talk about what a Vader vs Kenobi duel might look like in between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.  And they talk about the latest news around the expanding Mandalorian TV 'verse.  Plus, might we see two Star Wars Celebrations in less than a year, Temuera Morrison talks returning to Star Wars, and Fennec Shan's past in The Bad Batch.  All this and much more in the final weekly SWU Podcast of 2020!

On this episode, Dominic, Ben, and Chris are joined by friend of the show Trey Atwood to discuss Chapter Fifteen of The Mandalorian, "The Believer."  They discuss who the title is actually referring to and how this episode depicts the different sides of The Empire.  They also talk about Din Djarin's choice in the episode, and how it relates to the arc of the returning Migs Mayfeld.  Then they speculate about what Din's choice to remove his helmet will mean for him going forward, and how it might impact his relationships with Bo-Katan and The Armorer.  Plus, a Star Wars Resistance connection, what characters we hope to see more from (and which one we don't), and the return of seismic charges.  All this and much more!

THE FUTURE OF STAR WARS IS HERE!  Dominic, Ben, and Chris react and break down the slew of announcement about the future of Star Wars from the Disney Investor Day live stream!  They discuss the news of the new series: Rangers of the New Republic, Ahsoka, Acolyte, Visions, A Droid's Story, and Lando; the updates about Star Wars: Andor, The Bad Batch, and Obi-Wan Kenobi; and the news that Star Wars will be returning to theaters in 2023 with Rogue Squadrons, directed by Patty Jenkins.  They talk about Hayden Christensen's return to Star Wars, how it's odd that there's no actor mentioned in the Lando announcement, and how will The Mandalorian tie-in with Ahsoka and Rangers of the New Republic.  Plus, Leslye Headland and the High Republic, The Bad Batch feels like The Clone Wars season eight, and a whole lot of excitement over the future of the galaxy far, far, away... All this and much more!
