Welcome back, Herder faithful! The sequel trilogy is bad! It’s rushed! It’s just one more sign that Disney is ruining Star Wars. That’s what Screen Rant would have you believe, anyway. Us? We’re not so sure. Joining us in defense of our favorite franchise this time is a man who needs no introduction.

Here’s the article that inspired this episode: Disney Rushed Out The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Too Fast (Screen Rant)

Happy New Year, fellow Herders! A new comic has us ruminating about the true nature of the Force and who got it right all along. You know we’re softies for the the prequels, and here’s more evidence as to why: Qui-Gon Jinn is the smartest Jedi we’ve ever seen! The “age of Republic” comic sheds new light on his interpretation of the Force and the role of the Jedi in service to it. As it turns out, the Jedi of the prequel era were kind of, well… turds. Stupid Jedi: should’ve listened to Qui-Gon. Thankfully, you can listen to us! Here’s to 2019, everyone!

Check out the video that inspired this episode: Qui-Gon’s Vision and the True Meaning of Balance in the Force – Age of Republic: Qui-Gon Jinn Review

Happy holidays, Nerfherders! Jon isn’t feeling too jolly this season. He keeps reading rumors about next year’s Star Wars installment and getting really upset. He’s red in the face and his belly shakes like a bowl full of jelly, but he’s no St. Nick! Join us as JT takes on JJ over the fate of the final installment in the Skywalker saga – and have a safe and happy Life Day, everyone!

We had a show, we really did! It was part 2 of our conversation about the Disney+ streaming service, and hoo boy, it was good! But you’re getting this show instead. Deal with it. Moving on…

Despite a total lack of official information about the next Star Wars movie – or maybe because of it – the internet is awash in rumors about Episode IX. Is Luke alive? What color is Rey’s lightsaber?? Who is the First Order turncoat?!

What have you heard about Episode IX? The less credible, the better! Let us know using the links below.

Disney’s upcoming streaming service – now officially called Disney+ – continues to make headlines. During an earnings call earlier this month, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced a *second* Star Wars series is coming to service! Fans of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” should be happy with this one: Cassian Andor is getting his own series, and Diego Luna is set to reprise his role as the titular character! We’re totally hyped, and can’t help but wonder what stories and characters we could see when this series finally launches.

Are you excited to revisit the time of the Rebellion? Let us know using the links below!

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??
