Star Wars is for everyone and can be created by anyone. As a community and as a team, we need to do our part in bringing awareness to the Black Lives Matter cause. Dedicating this episode to the writers and authors of color is a way for the Living Force to shine a light on a situation that has been put in the background for far too long. Join Eric and Corey as they discuss authors and writers of color and how we can help promote their work and businesses in our communities. May the Force Be With You.

Put on your thinking caps and start the conspiracy theories as Eric, Charles, and Corey investigate new details on the postponed release of the High Republic!

Princess of Theed followed up by Queen of Naboo all before her 15th birthday?!

It started back in 2008. Although some of us didn’t join the ranks right away, Star Wars: The Clone Wars will hold us in its clutches long after the nightmare of the infamous Order 66. The chaotic stream of epic battles, character developments, and storyline reveals kept us pleading for more….until the very end. It’s a time to reminisce and a time to speculate about what could be. Corey, Eric, and Charles take us through the animated series that captured our hearts and left us forever grateful to that cowboy hat wearin’ renegade.
