    In episode 35 of The Force Geeks: A Star Wars Podcast, Nate, Jake and DailySuperHero.com Founder Daniel Wolf pay tribute to the life and significance of Actor Chadwick Boseman, known for his iconic roles as the Black Panther, Thurgood Marshall, Jackie Robinson and James Brown. Yes this is a Star Wars podcast, but all of us were deeply touched by his passing and wanted to pay our respects. We also discuss the significance of the timing of The Mandalorian Season Two premier date announcement (still without a trailer) and whether it had anything to do with a possible attempt to draw attention away from the John Boyega interview in the recent UK Edition of GQ. In that interview Boyega explains why he feels Disney/Lucasfilm did him and his character dirty. We are also digging the new look for a couple centuries younger Yoda in the upcoming High Republic era of storytelling for Star Wars. Finally, we talk about the explosion of rumors and what you can and can't believe as there are new "scoops" all the time these days. Check it all out in this week’s episode of The Force Geeks!

    **Apologies, the audio was a little too loud in the beginning and during a few moments here and there. Our audio engineer Nate tried to fix it as best he could, but it is over-modulated here and there. He will be properly disposed of in the Great Sarlacc Pit for upsetting the tender earholes of the great Jabba the Hutt. In other words, it's not the best, but we fixed it as much as we could.**
