As a mysterious hooded traveler sits us down to explain the origins of Thra, we find ourselves joined by Jake Beal, who helps us usher in Phase 8 of the podcast! We catch up on Star Visions season 3 and some recent Star Wars comics and chat about our personal histories with The Dark Crystal, before diving into our new adventure and the strange, wonderful, and terrible world of Gelflings, Skeksis, Aughra, Raunip, and Gyr!
