Get into the holiday spirit this week with Rob and Tom as they explore the Star Wars spectacle that is the nearly unwatchable Holiday Special. This made for TV special stands as the first, and last, Star Wars production to not have the direct oversight of George Lucas. We also review both the Jedi: Fallen Order and Vader Immortal games, both of which are stunning and deserve your attention! Not only are they awesome games, but their contributions to Star Wars canon serve to further flesh out some periods which have not been explored to any great extent in other media. Finally, we announce the winners of our Mando-vember Giveaway of two incredible Dominic Pace autographed photos of his character from The Mandalorian.

Before the Resistance, there was the Rebellion...and before that, a cobbled-together family of freedom-fighters known only as the Spectres. This week, I'm joined by Tony, Sparrow, and Stitch from the Disney Discussions Podcast as we break down why you NEED to watch Star Wars: Rebels to learn about why these individuals were crucial to the overthrow of the Galactic Empire and were one of the key seeds of the Rebel Alliance!

This week we cross into enemy territory as we host special guest Todd Hoffman from WSTRmedia: Galactic Public Access (podcast.wstrmedia.com/) and talk about the 501st Legion (www.510st.com/)...otherwise known as Vader's Fist.

This Star Wars fan organization, founded back in 1997 by Albin Johnson, has long been known for two things: their high standards for screen-accurate uniforms and their unflagging work on behalf of the charities that they donate their time and efforts to.

Join us as we learn all about what the 501st is all about and how YOU can engage them...either as a fan with an interest in joining the Legion or someone wanting to engage their services. This will be a day long remembered...

Special thanks to Todd for offering his time and expertise for this episode. Please check out his podcast and all the awesome content they have for your listening enjoyment!

We are also grateful for our sponsor, Lucas Family Travel (www.lucasfamilytravel.com) and our Patreon supporters, namely Tony O. of the Disney Discussion Podcast!

Join Rob and Tom as they delve into two and a half minutes of some of the most gorgeous Star Wars imagery you've ever seen.

Special thank you to our sponsor, Lucas Family Travel and our Patreon sponsors, especially Tony O. from the Disney Discussions Podcast.

While our love of Star Wars has its roots in many facets of the saga, one of the undeniable assets this franchise has is its sense of humor...even in the darkest of times. Whether it's facing down the fearsome Darth Vader, the mysterious Kylo Ren, or a battalion of Stormtroopers; our heroes never missed the chance to unleash their wit along with a random blaster bolt or ten. Join us as we explore some of the funniest Star Wars moments the films have to offer!

Special thanks to our sponsor, Lucas Family Travel (lucasfamilytravel.com). 

Thank you as well to our contributors to this week's podcast including our Patreon patron Tony from the Disney Discussions Podcast (disneydiscussions.com), Jake from the K9 Critique podcast, and Twitter follower Rafaela. We appreciate all your input and love getting to interact with our listeners!

The Jedi Temple Archives was the inspiration for our podcast, meant to introduce Star Wars fans new and old to the deeper mysteries of the Force (as well as current canon), and at its heart was Madam Jocasta Nu. Serving as the Chief Librarian of the Temple Archives at the time of the Jedi Purge, no other Jedi did as much as Jocasta Nu to preserve the knowledge of the Order for future generations to come and to deny it's greatest secrets to Darth Sidious. As Master Yoda once said, "A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense..." and Jocasta Nu was the guardian of that armory for the Jedi Order.
