When you look at the expressions of gratitude in Star Wars, you start to see some interesting patterns - like in which trilogy it happens most often (and why), the characters who thank others most frequently, and only rarely in a sarcastic fashion. Punch it!

Last week's rumor about Kathleen Kennedy's contract extension is confusing! What seems pretty clear, though, is that when you compare her Star Wars box office to either the DCEU or the MCU, she seems to be doing just fine, thank you very much. Punch it!

Department of Corrections Note: In comparing the DCEU and Star Wars box office numbers, I say "million" a couple of times where I should have said "billion." Whoops!

The Destination D23 event is happening at Walt Disney World this weekend, and Star Wars talk centered around the Galactic Starcruiser experience opening next year. Today, we'll explore story-related highlights and other takeaways from the panels. Punch it!

Department of Corrections Note: In the show, I mentioned that the Hutts are running the Halcyon as a gambling ship during the Clone Wars. We don't know if that's true ... yet. It *was* the case prior to The Phantom Menace, but we're not sure if that's the case in the time between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

I said it in 2014, and apparently I feel the same way now: it's really difficult to satisfactorily explain how nuts the final part of the Star Wars Holiday Special is without using profanity. Which sidebars into the ground rules of the show, but still... Punch it!
