Today we pivot back into the world of streaming services and begin covering the Obi-Wan Kenobi series that has taken the Star Wars universe by storm!

This series is comprised of 6 episodes and they all carry such a level of importance to the overall storyline, that we have decided to cover each specific episode individually to ensure nothing is left out and that no stone remains unturned.

So stick around and take a journey with us to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away where we come across Inquisitors who are hunting Jedi, an old familiar hero makes his reappearance, two important children are in danger, and one of them is taken captive.

Chase and Josh have hit the midway point in Season 2 of Fact or Fantasy and are here to bring you the midseason State of the Union!

Tune in as we discuss the key moments of the season, favorite experiences, challenges, and accolades Season 2 has brought us. In addition, we provide an exclusive look of what's on the horizon for the remainder of the season and beyond!

The time has come to say goodbye to The Lord of the Rings trilogy series, but not before one last bonus episode to close out this epic arc the proper way!

Welcome to another Rankings Episode where we are taking an in-depth look inside the mind of Chase & Josh in regards to The Lord of the Rings and what/who in the series stood out to each in a hierarchy type format.

Not only will we be ranking our Top 5 in a multitude of categories, but we will also be providing final grades for each installment (novel& film), debating the Lord of the Rings MVP, providing thoughts on what could've made the story better in our opinions, and closing out with some anecdotes from the Appendixes. With this being the final send off to The Lord of the Rings original trilogy, don't miss out.

We are excited to have you join us today as we jump into the final installment of The Lord of the Rings film series and emphasize the major differences between Part 2 of the extended edition of The Return of the King in comparison to the corresponding scenes found in its novel counterpart. Please note that the changing of character perspectives as seen on screen does not evenly line up with the sequence of events in the novel in a chronological order.

Follow along while we highlight the key differences found between the movie and the books such as; Frodo's entry into Shelob's Lair, the death of Denethor, the assistance of the dead army, the last council before marching on the Black Gate, and the aftermath of the Second Great War.

With Chase and Josh discussing the irregularities, highlighting problems affecting plot lines, providing evidence through passages found in the novel, and presenting Part 2 of the film with a numeric grade, don't miss out.

"Well, good luck on your road, and good luck to your homecoming!" said Mr. Butterbur. "Should have warned you before that all's not well in the Shire neither, if what we hear is true. Funny goings on, they say. But one thing drives out another, and I was full of my own troubles. But if I may be so bold, you've come back changed from your travels, and you look now like folk as can deal with troubles out of hand. I don't doubt you'll soon set all to rights. Good luck to you! And the oftener you come back the better I'll be pleased."

It's that time again here at Fact or Fantasy where today we highlight and compare key differences between Part 1 of the extended edition film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King to its novel counterpart. We will be comparing the scenes of the film with the corresponding events in the novel in a way that may seem out of order as they do not line up evenly due to the changes in character perspectives.

Stay tuned while we detail the major differences found between the movie and books such as; the death of Saruman, Aragorn's interaction with the palantír, the reforging of the Sword That Was Broken, and the events that lead to taking the Paths of the Dead.

With outlining core differences that could negatively affect the plot, discussing additions that we were happy to see on screen, providing the film with a numeric grade, and providing passages from the novel as evidence for certain viewpoints, don't miss out.

"See my friends, when I had mastered the Stone, I learned many things. A grave peril I saw coming unlooked-for upon Gondor from the South that will draw off great strength from the defence of Minas Tirith. If it is not countered swiftly, I deem the the City will be lost ere ten days be gone."

The One Ring is destroyed, the power of Sauron is broken and Middle-earth is saved.  Frodo and Sam survived their journey and reunited with Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Merry & Pippin.  Aragorn is named King of Gondor and all is well.  Today, we jump into the final contents of the novel as it pertains to the story, but not including the appendixes or index, as we dive into Chapter 16 through Chapter 19 and conclude the epic tale of The Lord of the Rings.

Join us as we wrap everything up and tie a few loose ends together with the funeral of King Théoden, Legolas and Gimli fulfilling their promises to each other and leaving the group on the outskirts of Isengard, Aragorn returning to Gondor, Gandalf and the Hobbits running into an old foe on the road, celebrating Bilbo's birthday in Rivendell, taking back the Shire from ruffians and bandits, and each member of the Fellowship of the Ring making their final exits.

With Chase and Josh closing out the novel series, highlighting any major events remaining, debating interpretations of the Grey Havens and discussing what possible future events might have happened with the main characters following the end of the Second Great War, do not jump off the wagon just yet.

"And the ship went out into the High Sea and passed on into the West, until at last on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise."

Gondor has won the initial battle at the Pelennor Fields with help from Rohan as well as Aragorn who seized the Corsairs of Umbar which were meant to aid the forces of Mordor.  The Captains of the West have marched to the Black Gate and had their final parley with the Mouth of Sauron where they plan to make their last stand as a diversion. Today we shift to Sam and Frodo and see if all the efforts of the Fellowship pay off or not as we jump into the events of Chapter 11 through Chapter 15 in The Return of the King novel.

Stick around as we pick back up with Sam attempting to free Frodo from the clutches of the Orcs, the journey into Mordor, the hiccups along the way, the return of a treacherous creature, and the culminating moment in the Crack of Mount Doom.

With Chase and Josh leading you to the very moment this series was created for, detailing the major incidents and occurrences found in these sections of the novel, discussing a few 'what-if' scenarios and debating fun topics, this big climax is one you don't want to miss.

"Yes, I must go on," he said. "Farewell, Sam! This is the end at last. On Mount Doom doom shall fall. Farewell!" He turned and went on, walking slowly but erect, up the climbing path.

Aragorn has revealed himself to Sauron in the palantír, the initial assault on Gondor has begun, Théoden leads Rohan into the fray hoping they are not too late, and Faramir has suffered a grievous injury. Today we move on into one of, if not, the most climactic sections of this novel and entire series with the events that occur from Chapter 6 through Chapter 10 in The Return of the King.

Join us as we jump into the full battle on the Pelennor Fields of Gondor, see the fall of King Théoden, watch The Lord of the Nagûl meet his match, observe unsuspecting reinforcements come to the aid of one side, the healing of important individuals, plans for a last stand, and a final march to the Black Gate.

With Chase & Josh taking you through one of the most action packed segments of the novel, highlighting key moments and dialogue, breaking down the logic behind certain decisions, and debating a couple topics that could have changed a few outcomes, you don't want to miss this.

"We must walk open-eyed into that trap, with courage, but small hope for ourselves. For, my lords, it may well prove that we ourselves shall perish utterly in a black battle far from the living lands; so that even if Barad-dûr be thrown down, we shall not live to see a new age. But this, I deem, is our duty. And better so than to perish nonetheless – as we surely shall, if we sit here – and know as we die that no new age shall be."
