Not only did we get an amazing first look at Jedi: Survivor gameplay, The Bad Batch came in clutch this week with a two part mid-season finale that knocked my Boba Fett socks clean off my feet...
It's not unheard of for Lucasfilm to delay projects. We honestly should've seen it coming, or they could just stop announcing stuff with short release dates shrug
I'm a little late for this episode topic but I wanted to get this out before we get too far into 2022. Even though there were a few bumps in the road, 2022 was a great year for Star Wars fans!
Let's be real. Tech was one of the lamer things about Bad Batch season one, but man is he bringing the heat for season 2! Basically, I love Tech now, and I got a new nerf gun :)
I hate being lazy. I'm bringing this podcast back to life and doing so with a vengeance. New weekly episodes. Every. Freaking. Friday.
I’m hyped over the moon for Jedi: Survivor, so naturally I’m open to anything Lucasfilm wants to give us regarding that story. But will this story satisfy our Cal Kestis needs?--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

I love character design. It has been and I think will always be one of my favorite things about a franchise. So in this episode, I read you guys a story from a character that I crafted myself. I hope you get lost in it and enjoy it as much as I do.

We love Star Wars with all we have. So please don’t make it seem like we hate everything; toxicity exists in the fandom without a doubt but that doesn’t mean everyone is a racist and bigoted bully. Also, Star Trek sucks :)
