Mace might still live! We also talk the return of other characters in Rogue One, discuss the failed opportunity of what would have been the Lucas museum in Chicago, and bring you the latest Star Wars gaming news!

Our "listener feedback" feature returns! This week we answer questions people have sent us over the last few months, including whether we'd want to see an R-rated Star Wars film, whether the films would be better if they were longer, how the First Order could afford to build Starkiller Base, and much more!

What happened with Legends needed to happen. But it is an odd feeling that the Star Wars galaxy, with decades of expansion, now feels so much smaller. Also, we explain why the upcoming Rogue One reshoots are something to be excited about!

Disney execs are panicking! Because already-planned Rogue One reshoots are happening! We chime in and explain why the sky is not falling and what this really means for the upcoming film.

Some Star Wars fans are experiencing "TFA Guilt." In other words, after buying the DVD/Blu-ray, they were less excited about it, and after one or two viewings set it aside and haven't gone back to it. And some of these fans don't understand why they're suddenly apathetic toward The Force Awakens. This week, we look at this issue, and we discuss how our feelings about The Force Awakens may change further over time.

The second episodes of the two prior trilogies have had a heavy focus on romance. Will we see that again in Episode VIII?  Do we want to see that?  Why can't we see more meaningful platonic relationships without romance?  We delve into this topic and cover the latest news in this week's Echo Base!

Han gets cast, Pablo dishes on Bloodline, "Jabba Flow" is released, Infinity is canceled, and Fett gets robbed of his moment of glory!

More and more we're hearing from people who are concerned about the direction in which the online Star Wars fan community seems to be going.  So this week we take a look at the state of affairs in the online community and what (if anything) can be done about it.

A recent article called for geeks to realize that canon doesn't matter. Is that true? And if not, what does that say about the Legends rebranding? We take a look at the issue of canon in Star Wars and the role of the Lucasfilm Story Group plus much more on this week's episode of Echo Base.

You've probably heard about the alleged (and fake) script leak for Episode VIII.  However, there's one big part of this story summary that deserves a second look—not because it's an accurate report (it's not), but because the theory, though controversial, really does have some logic to it.  What is this theory of which we speak?  Join us for this episode of Echo Base to find out!
