After months of her social media posts inciting fans on both sides, Disney made the controversial decision to fire Gina Carano - effectively killing off a fan-favorite character from "The Mandalorian", Cara Dune. The entire saga is a cautionary and thought-provoking tale that highlights just how difficult it is to find the line between personal expression and professional conduct. Lots to unpack here, folks. Let's talk #cancelculture.

Kathleen Kennedy just laid out a GIGANTIC slate of Star Wars series coming to Disney+ over the next few years. TEN series, in fact! And just ONE movie. It begs the question: do feature films still have a place in Star Wars storytelling moving forward??

Star Wars doesn't always get it right when adding onto existing lore with new stories, but "The Mandalorian" seems to nail it every time! We ask the question: why is that??

More news from the Mandalorian camp at Disney, as a possible leak has outed a slew of characters slated to appear in Season 2 of the hit streaming series. More is not always better, though! We weigh the pros and cons of bringing established characters in to flesh out the world of The Mandalorian, and ask the question: can the focus stay on our core characters with so many high-profile cameos getting screen time?

As we await the final episode of the Clone Wars, we think now is a good time to get back to that *other* incredible Star Wars show on Disney+: The Mandalorian! Last time we talked Mando on this show, only 2 episodes had been released. So how did the rest of the season stack up? Tune in for our thoughts, and sound off on Twitter or Facebook to let us know *your* thoughts!

It's no secret that "Rogue One" is one of our favorite Star Wars films. (We just did an episode 2 shows ago about it; go listen to it!) So we were jacked when IGN announced they were doing a live watch-along of the movie with its writers, Gary Whitta and Chris Weitz. If you're a nerd for behind-the-scenes stuff like we are, you'll love it too! We cover some of the more interesting bits to come out of the watch-along, but it's really best if you just go and watch it for yourself. After listening to us talk about it, of course.

We finally did it!! Little known fact about our show, but there's a secret reason we've always done our recordings in-person: we didn't know to record from multiple locations! Like the rest of the world. though, we've been forced to make adjustments. We're not going to say how long it took to figure out. Don't ask. Seriously.

Another little known fact about our show: we record on Wednesdays, and AJ doesn't write these things up until Sunday. That's why he can't remember what all we covered on this episode to tell you. Just listen anyway; we could all use some light-hearted entertainment right now. Stay safe and healthy, everyone!
