For this deeper dive on Kenobi Part 5, we're going to talk about that content warning; the political nature of Star Wars; how the personal and the political are intertwined; representation; and what Lucas was really doing with Star Wars...

They saved the shocks for episode 5 of the Obi-Wan Kenobi show - which we've elected to title "Frame Within a Frame," for the layers that were just unpeeled in penultimate part of the series. Punch it!

The seven highlights we're talking about in the show are:

1. The "old as dirt" framing trope

2. The long-rumored flashback - and it's different

3. The "Lore Advisor" and his input on the show

4. Solving most of the "Grand Inquisitor" conundrums

5. The twist!

6. The fight!

7. The ending and how it sets up two separate confrontations

One of "those" headlines claimed Obi-Wan Kenobi is "tanking" in the ratings. But not in the ones that matter! It's our first-ever "Jedi Business" episode focused on a live-action series, and we'll explain what's *real* so far about the (Nielsen) ratings that matter. Punch it!

The first of our #SWCA2022 interviews is here! And since we were talking to @PRHAudio's @NickMartorelli over the weekend, it seemed like a perfect time to close that circle and feature his answer to the one-question interview. Punch it!
