One of Disney’s most controversial decisions was to create the “Legends” continuity, effectively erasing decades of Star Wars stories from the official canon. Since then, every official story told is canon: comics, books, TV, video games, YouTube, VR… anywhere! Is this a good thing, though? Maybe, maybe not! No one wants to miss something crucial buried in the pages of a book when they go to see a movie – but fans of other media get to know their stories matter as much as the movies now.

How do you feel about it? Is a shared continuity a good thing, or do its consequences outweigh its benefits? Let us know using the links below!

It’s news dump time on NHC! Cameras and footage have been stolen from the set of “The Mandalorian”, and the internet was trolled once again by a bogus Episode IX set photo. Pinewood Studios even has armed guards watching the skies for drones! We have to ask: is this all worth it? Is our fervor for information hurting the franchise? And what constitutes a “spoiler”, anyway??

For all the stories told in the Star Wars universe, there are just as many or more stories that never get told. What if Boba Fett hadn’t become a Sarlacc snack? How did Maz get Luke’s lightsaber? Why does everyone get to be a general in the Rebellion? We speculate on a few of the lost plot points dropped (so far) throughout the saga!

Gather round, Herders: we’ve officially entered the Resistance era! The latest animated entry in the Star Wars franchise is upon is, and it’s time to give our thoughts on the show’s initial episodes. TL;DR: it’s good!

Not sure if there are really any spoilers in here, but just in case, don’t be weird: watch the show before you listen to this. Watching cartoons is way more fun than hearing a bunch of grown-ass men talking about them anyway!

This week’s episode continues our conversation about our first experiences watching Star Wars. Yep, we’re not done talking about it yet! This time it’s Steve’s turn to relate his time checking out The Phantom Menace – in 2D and 3D! (The poor guy.)

It’s part 2 of 2 – and then we’re done! For this week. We’ll be back next week. Sorry.

Believe it or not, there was a time when Star Wars movies only came out every 3 years – and for 16 years, we didn’t have any new movies at all! One thing about Star Wars hasn’t changed, though: everyone remembers their first time seeing Star Wars in the theater. Join us as we reminisce about our earliest memories of Star Wars fandom, and look at how the fandom sustains itself between films.

What’s YOUR first memory of Star Wars? We want to know! Hit us up on Twitter and tell us your story!

Two Star Wars Stories, two very different results. What made “Rogue One” such a success, while “Solo: A Star Wars Story” floundered at the box office? And what do these two movies tell us about the future of Star Wars films beyond the Skywalker saga? Let’s dig in and find out!

Which movie do you think did more to build the world of Star Wars beyond the main saga? Let us know!

Welcome back, herders of Nerfs! Last week was all about overrated characters in the Star Wars universe, which naturally led us to ponder the opposite: which characters in Star Wars are *under*rated?? We look at new, old, and new versions of old characters to see who got the short shrift from fandom, the writers, Disney, and even George Lucas himself.

Which characters do you think don’t get the recognition they deserve?? We want to know! Tell us in the comments below.

Hello, Nerfherders! This week, we look at the characters of Star Wars. Not the best characters, or the most underused characters, or anything like that. We turn the microscope on the characters we feel are the least deserving of the hype and following they’ve achieved! (Hey, it’s the internet. We like to complain.) So sit back and get ready to yell at your speakers as we dive into the most overrated characters in Star Wars!
