Thu, 4 January 2024
Ben, Chris, Dominic, and Hannah are back to kick off 2024 in style! They start by discussing the reports of what viewership for The Mandalorian and Ahsoka actually was in 2023, as well as Sharmeen Obaid-Chinnoy’s comments about directing her Star Wars movie. Then, Dominic challenges the other three to another round of “Finish the Line…Star Wars Edition”. And in an extended #AskTheSWU, they cover composers they’d like to see work on Star Wars, who they wouldn’t want to fist fight in the Star Wars universe, Christmas presents, and the future of the Mandoverse. Plus Dad Jokes! So. Many. Dad Jokes. All this and much more! Join the Star Wars Underworld Network Discord Direct download: SWU_15-12-23.mp3
