Star Wars 7x7: A Daily Bite-Sized Dose of Star Wars Joy

Wild Space. Unknown Regions. What's the difference? It was defined by Pablo Hidalgo a few years ago in a Rebels Recon episode, and recent information (Thrawn: Alliances, Lando's Luck, Galaxy's Edge, and Star Wars Resistance) seem to be complicating the matter. Let's clear it up today. Punch it!

Kylo Ren promised his grandfather that he would finish what Vader started. Kylo certainly made big strides in that direction, but what di he really mean by it? And can he actually fulfill that promise? Punch it!

We didn't get any Star Wars reveals during the Big Game. How much longer must we wait? In my final title speculation episode, I'll explain why it has to be before Celebration Chicago, and even before March 7th. Why that date? Listen to find out... Punch it!
