Something old and something new on this week’s podcast. We begin by diving deep into the absolute madness that is the Star Wars Holiday Special, which may or may not involve virtual reality Wookiee sex. There are no words for how weird this 1978 artifact is, but we will attempt to find them anyway as we break down the insanity. Then, we have a treat for you as we present an exclusive clip from the new High Republic audio drama Star Wars: The Battle of Jedha! This is the only place where you can hear this advance listen to the upcoming story coming out January 3. Consider it a reward for anyone who actually endured the Star Wars Holiday Special at some point in their lives.
