There might be a Kenobi movie in the works. Maybe? Oh, and Eric read Darth Plagueis. Here's what happens:

Matt Frost is the BEST, Jerry. The BEST! You should follow him on Twitter (Phroosh77).

Saving money for Force Friday is hard. Being a grownup isn't as great as they said it would be.

There may be an Obi-Wan Kenobi standalone film in the early stages of development. We have opinions.

We talk about Darth Plagueis. Audio book versus actual reading. Semi-intelligent story analysis. Bad guys are cool. Or are they? (They are.)

A flash-round email from Jonathan P. Great stuff!

We have the best listeners, that is for sure.

Entertainment Weekly's The Last Jedi issue came out, and Anthony Breznican crushed it. Here's what happens:

Cool collecting talk. We're sorta holding out for Force Friday. But clearance stuff is really giving us some great scores!

Emily Lind rules.

The Brez gave us some great information about The Last Jedi in these articles. We break it all down!

We *love* porgs.

Darth Vader #4 is KILLER. Check that comic series out!

Eric says he finally read Darth Plagueis. Dallas and Luke are stunned.

Listener emails and voicemails. Some GREAT questions in this round!

The Bad Motivators celebrate their 25th episode (right?!?) with a special guest! Here's what happens:

Steele Saunders of the Steele Wars podcast (Twitter: @SteeleWars) (steelewars.com) joins the Motivators on this monumental occasion!

Eric's getting a haul of stuff.

Dallas has a business that you're not gonna believe.

Luke revisits the tank top fiasco.

A cavalcade of 80s cartoon reminiscing that will bring tears to your eyes. There's singing, people. Singing!

Some as-of-yet unsolved technical snafu derails the show temporarily. Fortunately, everyone lives.

Check out the outro music by Galactic Empire!

Remember when Anakin totally flipped his lid and ruined everything? Crazy times. In this episode, we get a fresh perspective on Revenge of the Sith. Here's what happens:

Luke unboxes one of the most elusive and rare characters in our fandom live on the show, much to the surprise of Dallas and Eric.

Eric's kid had a birthday. Naturally, Eric tried to steal all of his son's toys.

We talk about Revenge of the Sith and why we feel it's the best of the prequel trilogy. So good.

Dallas unleashes a thought-provoking theory about the Force and the state of the Jedi in the timeline of the end of the prequel trilogy.

We talk about Snoke. Things are said that we can't unhear. Ever.

Listener emails and voicemails, international edition!

San Diego Comic-Con was this past weekend. There was no Star Wars panel, but some really cool toys and books were announced. Here's what happens:

Our buddy, author Dean Mayes, wrote really cool blog post on his website, deanfromaustralia.com. Go check it (and ALL of Dean's writing) out!

Luke and Dallas scored a really cool Toys "R" Us 6" Black Series exclusive, Clone Commander Gree. He's awesome.

Eric went to see Galactic Empire play. Great show. If you have a chance to see the band, go.

Some great impressions by Blake courtesy of the Steele Wars Podcast.

A great rundown of the figures announced at SDCC. Goodbye, money.

There are some really sweet books coming down the line. Be on the lookout! Check out starwars.com for a comprehensive list.

Issue #3 of the Darth Vader (2017) comic series. So good.

Someone has the P-O-R-G blues. Sing it, Josh!

Listener voicemails and emails. A lesson in paleontology.

The D23 Expo was last weekend, and some cool stuff dropped! Here's what happens:

We each scored some pretty sweet stuff this week. Everything's going on clearance to make room for the new stuff. Take advantage!

"Star Wars Land" has a name! Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will open at some point in 2019. I wonder if I could try to give a response like that to my boss when he wants to know when I'm gonna have something done at work.

A 1/2" scale model of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge? WHAT IS THIS, A GALAXY'S EDGE FOR ANTS?!? I guess you can go there after you leave the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good.

The behind-the-scenes reel for The Last Jedi is great. Really, really great. The visuals. The action. The dialogue. The creatures!

Did we mention the creatures?!? THE CREATURES! Porg, porg, porg.

Some great listener voicemails and emails. We have the best listeners.

The Forces of Destiny animated shorts dropped this past week on YouTube. Here's what happens:

Eric's little girl love dewbacks.

Dallas goes on a Funko Pop! buying spree.

Luke tells Dallas that he's in denial about his new Funko addiction.

We run down the 8 (as of day of recording) episodes of Forces of Destiny and wax poetic about the fine points.

Listener emails and voicemails, including a couple of first-time contributors!

It's the 20th episode of The Bad Motivators! We've had such a good time making the show, and we're beyond stoked to hit this small milestone. Also, we had such a great time revisiting The Phantom Menace a couple of weeks ago! This week, we get a fresh perspective on Attack of the Clones. Here's what happens:

The Motivators are very thankful for all of our listeners. You guys are the best!

Target wants the Rogue One figures gone. Get 'em while they're cheap!

Luke and Dallas discuss Funko Pops! and subscription services.

Eric finally saw a movie that everyone else in the world saw a long time ago.

We receive a message from a friend mid-show that turns out to be a special treat for us!

We talk about the good, the bad and the rest of Attack of the Clones. It turns out that it's a fun movie to watch.

A voicemail from a first-time contributor that asks some questions that are on everyone's minds. It's music to our ears.

WE HAVE MERCH! You can get t-shirts and the like at https://t.co/ozsvg2LKpO. Ace job by Luke getting that set up at TeePublic.

Don't miss the outro song on this one. Galactic Empire rules.

The new Darth Vader series from Marvel Comics is pretty dope. Here's what happens:

A little more news on the Han Solo standalone director change. It's a scene, man.

The first two issues of the new Darth Vader comic series are out. HUGE SPOILERS. It's actually really cool.

What's the deal with Kyber crystals?

Did Kylo Ren construct his lightsaber from scratch himself? Or was it partially complete already?

What is the movie release plan going to be when the next Indy movie comes out?

Some first-time contributors in the listener voicemail and email segment! It's always great to hear from our listeners!

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were dismissed from their directorial duties in the still untitled Han Solo standalone film. Lucasfilm announced that Ron Howard will be taking over. Crazy times, crazy times. Here's what happens:

Uh, we talk about it.
