Season 3 Finale
It’s the Season 3 finale of What Does Star Wars Mean To You! Elora and Dave look back on 2025 for a hyper-drive tour through our favorite interview moments, funniest bloopers and behind-the-scenes chaos from across the season. Chatting Star Wars, Elora and Dave reveal how conversations with guests like Claudia Gray, Chris Kempsahll and more hit us. Featuring rare, deleted conversations with guests like Rose Hawk (@roromuffins) Tom Hoeler (Editorial Director at Random House Worlds), Eric Clayton (author) and Bryan Ward (artist), the hosts dive deep into what makes the Star Wars fandom endlessly inspring.
From debating which character’s fate they’d rewrite, to exploring Andor’s political brilliance, Skeleton Crew’s suburban surprise, and the emotional punch of revisiting The Clone Wars, Elora and Dave unpack how talking with creators, philosophers, and first-time viewers transformed their own perspectives. They discuss world-building, imagination, childhood play, storytelling, creativity, and how Star Wars is the lens through which we navigate an increasingly complicated galaxy.
Full of laughter, self-depreciating humor, personal realizations, and “cutting-room floor” chaos, this finale captures the heart of the show’s mission: to take the hate out of the debate to find out, “What Does Star Wars Mean to You?”
