On this episode of TransMissions Extra! it's all about Star Wars! Since Disney bought Lucasfilm we've had a bit of a Renaissance of new Star Wars content that's leading up to a new movie with Episode 7 coming this December. We talk about the animated show Star Wars Rebels, the new comics being produced by Marvel, and speculate a bit on the upcoming new movie The Force Awakens. Are you as big a Star Wars nerd as you are a Transformers geek? Let us know your thoughts on all the new Star Wars stuff!

What is TransMissions Extra!?

We usually spend the first 30 minutes of our TransMissions Skype call talking about other random topics before we record the main show. TransMissions Extra! is a more organized discussion of these topics recorded into a short podcast of its own. We hope you enjoy TransMissions Extra!
