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

Two sly references to A New Hope, one to the original Lando novels, droids getting religion, and much more on tap as we discuss the secrets of the Kessel Slave Revolt, beyond what we got to see in Solo: A Star Wars Story - including a small difference in the way things happened when Qi'ra killed that Pyke dude. Punch it!

That's Jeremy Meadows, Senior Manager of Marketing Strategy and Integration at Nissan North America, and he's giving you the scoop in this bonus episode of the show. Punch it!

In Solo: A Star Wars Story, Tobias Beckett considers taking Han and Chewie off Mimban with them because his crew is "short-handed." But how did they get short-handed in the first place? The movie doesn't explain, but the "Expanded Edition" novelization has the answer - and also reveals whether Beckett saw Han or Chewie as bringing the element he needed to add back into the crew. Punch it!

Do people talk in a more hostile way to women than men on Twitter, when they're talking about Star Wars? A new analysis from Bethany Lacina, a political science professor, at the University of Rochester, certainly makes that case.

Punch it!
