After last week's surprising news that we've been selected to appear on the Podcast Stage at Star Wars Celebration, we're still riding the high! As such we can't help but wonder what other surprises this convention holds for us. Before we do that however, ANOTHER lightsaber has arrived! This time it's the Force FX Elite DARKSABER! It is a thing of undeniable beauty and we take a small detour to do a quick review of this toy... ermm... collectible, which has joined the ranks of other such... collectibles.

Once that's wrapped up we jump into SWC and speculate on all the panels that have been announced thus far, from the The Bad Batch season 2 panel to the Disney+ show panel featuring updates on Andor and Kenobi, we look at what we know so far and what we expect so see, from trailers to sizzle reels and full episodes! That interestingly titled Mando+ panel also looks interesting and we discuss what that naming choice means for that and upcoming media. We also dive a bit into wishful thinking and things we'd WANT and HOPE to see at the convention! Join us as we speculate and probably get everything wrong!

Please check out The Amidala Initiative a "...community-operated, nonprofit campaign which seeks to use our platform to raise funds for Equality Texas, the largest nonpartisan statewide political advocacy organization working to eliminate discrimination targeting the LGBTQ+ community in the state of Texas. It is our goal to show that our community can follow in the footsteps of a character like Padmé Amidala, who tirelessly used her voice to speak up to protect disenfranchised and endangered people within a flawed political system. While we may not have the reach, impact or resources of larger online presences, we do not believe that is an excuse to sit by silently as hate seeks to establish stronger footholds and threaten our most vulnerable siblings in our own galaxy."
