Star Wars explores uncharted territory with Andor, a very character-driven narrative in live-action. Its viewership is believed to be lower than The Mandalorian's and Obi-Wan Kenobi, but fans raved about this series's first season. 

Chris Higgins, Zack Wildman, Storm Duper, and Nick Oswald discuss the best performances, characters, relationships, and planets from Andor and play a little quotes trivia. You won't want to miss this episode!

Zack Wildman returns to the show to share three amazingly spooky creepypastas along with guest Storm Duper from Faking Star Wars. 

Our host Chris Higgins pitches a horror movie set in the Star Wars universe where in an alternate timeline, Obi-Wan is killed by Darth Maul instead of Qui-Gon Jinn. This change of events has significant repercussions for the Star Wars universe and leads the Jedi down a dark path.

If Star Wars is (in)famous for anything, it's for its retcons. For better or worse, LucasFilm has changed the content, and we are not just talking about Legends. Listen as our hosts Chris Higgins and Zack Wildman discuss the most impactful retcons in the franchise and what they mean.

I think we take it for granted that so many millennials are fans of Star Wars even though we weren't alive when the original trilogy was released.

This episode examines how LucasFilm created so many fans out of Generation Y.
