He knows when to hold em, knows when to fold em, knows when to don a silk cape, knows when to get it dry cleaned.

Join us and learn about the man and the mystery behind Lando Calrissian. We also give the Marvel Lando comics our stamp of new-canon approval. We know we’re not a Star Wars review podcast. We’re altering the deal. Pray we don’t alter it any further.

After a months-long embedded assignment within the Stormtrooper academy, we’re back! Inspired by a listener question, in this episode, we explore the good, the bad and the useless Stormtrooper lore.

Including:

DISCLAIMER: This episode contains mild Marvel Star Wars spoilers and a lot of Force Awakens conjecture that’s been rendered obsolete since trailer 3.

What do you get when a dork goes to town on Shakespeare's MacBeth? Meet Orion Couling: the closest thing to a real life Jedi Master (or Sith Lord?) we'll probably come across. Listen in as Nick, Patrick and Alex's force ghost grills Orion about everything he's working on MacSith, general combat choreography, and his theater company E.D.G.E. And by "grill", we mean turn the mic and swoon like the fanboys we are.

Rejected episode titles:A Skywalker by Any Other NameSomething Sith-ed This Way ComesLando, Lando Wherefore Art Thou, LandoOut, Damned Jar Jar

Learn more about Orion and E.D.G.E at edgeoforion.com.If you're going to be in Chicago between now and June 14th, come see MacSith!Otherwise contact Orion to demand that he take the show to you!

Here's the one where we wax philosophic about the Disney acquisition. Does Leia meet the criteria for being a Disney Princess? Where does her character go from here in the Disney-verse? Are our collective childhoods safe from Mickey's gloved hands? Somewhere is there a clone of Walt Disney locked in a basement writing every screenplay for the next 10 years?

These are things we lie awake at night thinking about.

Did the "Dark Times" thrive with unprecedented wealth and prosperity? Did currency differences hinder trade between galactic sectors? Was Jar Jar a fit candidate to be your accountant?

These are questions we'll attempt to answer in today's episode of Freakono...erm Loose Canon!

And please someone help us define what conscription means!

Are you Force sensitive? Are you kinda moody? Do you dance to the beat of your own Yub Nub, and apprenticeships just really cramp your style? Come join the Dark Jedi!

...or don't, whatever, who cares.

Come with us and learn why some Jedi just want to watch the world burn. Why some do not sew. And why some [insert 3rd nerd pandering analogy here].

As if it wasn't horrible enough to feature man-eating, religious zealot teddy bears in Return of the Jedi, they had to throw in a man-eating pit too. Oh, but that's just what happens on the surface (literally). Join us while we deconstruct the inner-workings (literally) of the sarlacc pit. Who knows, you might think it's just the cozy getaway you were looking for. So come on in, there's a spot for you (literally).

State-of-the-art gadgets and armor? Check. Badass attitude? Check. Sweet cargo sweat pants? Check.

Boba Fett is the complete package. Join us as we explore the man, the myth, the legend all the while trying not to offend the “Cult of Boba.” Seriously though, if you're adhering strictly to canon, Boba Fett...leaves a little something to be desired. Luckily our name isn't Tight Canon, am I right guys?

Well it's that time of year folks! A time for rushing home to be with family, ingesting mind altering substances and gathering 'round with all the townsfolk to become one with a tree. Nope, it's not Christmas at the Loose Canon household. We're talking about Life Day, the yearly tradition on Kashyyyk depicted in the 1978 psychodelic train wreck that was the Star Wars Holiday Special.

Join us in revelry as we figure out whether or not the weird stuff we witnessed during the show actually happened or if our minds just fabricated the whole experience. Seriously, we could have just made this all up and you wouldn’t know the difference.

Join the trio for the last episode of season one. The boys get all meta on your ass as they attempt to justify their own existence in a post-Expanded Universe world. Did the Disney Death Star 'splode your fandom this year? Did George Lucas hate the EU anyway? It's not cause for alarm, folks. Listen to the boys explain why you should embrace the new Legends stamp. The Lucasfilm Story Group can go about their business. Move along.

Plus basically Obi-Wan endorses Loose Canon in A New Dawn. So that's cool.
