For the third December in a row, we’ve got a big new Star Wars movie to talk about, and for the first time we agree: The Last Jedi is the real deal, a genuine, beautifully made Star Wars movie with a hell of a lot of meat on its bones. Before our big review, though, we cover a few different topics, including the week’s major news that Disney is buying Fox. We head on over to Sean’s Beta Corner for his thoughts on the Monster Hunter World beta, while Jonathan review the Champions Ballad DLC for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. And then it’s time to dive into The Last Jedi, in full spoiler detail. It’s a really good conversation about a fascinating, imperfect, but absolutely rewarding movie.

Enjoy, and come back Thursday for our final episode of the year: The Top 10 Video Games of 2017!
