We are so back baby! With the launch of The High Republic Phase 3: Trials of the Jedi, we're previewing what's to come for our heroes as we reunite with them one year after the fall of Starlight Beacon.

Join host Brad Whipple (@bradwhipple) as he sits down with Emrys and Lúthien from Girls with Sabers (@GirlswSabers). Today, we discuss why Star Wars is a fairy tale and venture back to its initial creation by George Lucas. Lucas envisioned the story as breaking the boundaries of science fiction to tell a "fantasy story." We then analyze the impact of fairy tales in our own lives and why their endings have important consequences for both children and adults.

Join host Brad Whipple (@bradwhipple) as he sits down with Mat & Sean (@FirstToLastPod) from Blue Bantha Milk Co. (@BlueBanthaMilk). On Episode 17, we discuss the legacy of the Jedi and the Sith. The Jedi were notorious for saying they were peacekeepers but seemingly took the role of soldiers. Were they wrong? Was Luke correct in saying it was hubris that allowed the Sith to rise? The answer might shock you!! (It's yes... the answer is yes).

Join host Brad Whipple (@bradwhipple) as he sits down with Carrie Goldman (@CarrieMGoldman), author of the award-winning book, Bullied: What Every Parent, Teacher, and Kid Needs To Know About Ending the Cycle of Fear (2012, Harper Collins). Carrie is also a speaker and blogger for one of the nation's premiere adoption blogs, Portrait of an Adoption.
Carrie talks about her daughter Katie, who was bullied for being a girl who likes Star Wars nearly a decade ago but now wears her love for Star Wars as a badge of honor. Carrie also gives us a glimpse into her experiences with Star Wars, including a set visit, and we dive into the rise of cyberbullying on social media and how it has impacted Star Wars fandom.
Make sure to follow some of Carrie's incredible work!

Brad welcomes this week's friend of the force: Followers of the Force podcast (hosted by David, Jason, & Gwendy). Today, we talk about the new Age of Resistance comics coming in September as well as how fast Celebration tickets sold out—blink and you'll miss 'em!

We hope for continued representation in Star Wars, and we close the show with some mumbo jumbo and we learn about Kayla's fear of Tobey Maguire's chin.
