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 is NHC. We ask the tough $%&#ing questions.

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!

Four movies into Disney’s stewardship, Star Wars is in a very different place than where George Lucas left it. Some like the new direction, many others don’t. Episode IX not only concludes the sequel trilogy, but the Skywalker saga as a whole. With such a daunting task set for the film and fandom so divided, are they starting to look back on the George Lucas era and wish he was back?

Who loves stupid fan theories?? Star Wars fans have on shortage of awful ideas, and we’ve pulled together some of our favorites for a completely stupid, off-the-wall roast of ridiculousness. We’re talking Rey, Kylo, Snoke, Han, Qi’ra, and all kinds of weirdness. Enjoy!
