May is here, which means May the 4th has come (and gone) and is celebrated by Star Wars fans across the globe.

Welcome to episode 102 of Chummy Thumbs!

Join us for our dive into Star Wars and the new Disney+ series: Maul - Shadow Lord.

Justin and Hayden are big fans. Have they been able to turn Shao to the ways of the force and turn him into one as well?

 What's the appropriate way and order of watching the films? Original Trilogy first? Or chronological order?

How powerful and badass is the character of Darth Vader? 

Where does Maul sit in terms of being an interesting character? Is this show worth your time to sit and watch?

This and so much more is discussed in our special Star Wars episode. So sit back and enjoy the discussion.
