The topic is a politically charged one and the Geeks (one who leans to the right, one in the center, and one who leans to the left) debate the issue surrounding Lucasfilm's decisions to cut ties with Carano.

The Geeks recognize this is a very sensitive topic and do their best to navigate the conversation as respectfully as possible. We hope that you join to see that things don't have to be heated, but can be explored even when you don't see eye to eye on the issues. If we offend anyone, please know that we recognize there is always more to learn and we all benefit from having these conversations in a respectful way. This topic is the whole show with discussion about what led to the firing, how it impacts the show, and how the show can move on from re-casting, to replacing, to just plain moving on from this chapter of the show.
