This week's episode is all about Star Wars novel and comic author Chuck Wendig, his work, and Marvel's choice to fire him last week. We spend at least the first half of the episode discussing Marvel's call to remove Chuck from the Star Wars books he was working on "for having a mind of his own," and we're not happy about it. We felt it was important to address and we wanted to voice our support for Chuck who we believe is responsible not only for some excellent Star Wars stories, but for speaking up against injustice and being unafraid to take a stand on important issues regardless of the fallout. The final portion of the show features a discussion of Chuck's Star Wars work and the contributions he's made to the property.
