Exploring Hyperspace Lanes

How much Star Wars lore should you need to understand a new Star Wars story?

With The Ninth Jedi, not much.

Adam reviews the new Star Wars: Visions series and argues that its greatest strength is being almost completely unmoored from established continuity. Instead of relying on Skywalkers, familiar villains or decades of references, the show has to build its characters and mythology using only the basic foundations of Jedi, Sith and the Force.

The result feels unmistakably like Star Wars while looking and operating unlike almost anything else in the franchise.

It's been two weeks since The Mandalorian and Grogu hit theaters, and the box office returns are in. Adam breaks down what a series-low opening, a brutal second-weekend drop, and a 10-million-dollar meme movie outpacing Star Wars actually mean for the future of Lucasfilm.
