This week we get into Adam Driver's comments about the original plan for Kylo/Ben as well as look back at the casting we almost got in the Prequels. Topics include:

We're getting a Mando movie, but what does that mean for a season 4?
A trilogy with Filoni's film?
Ahsoka Season 2 - but when?
How some prequel casting choices could have been different and drastically changed the vibes of those films
Every "it" guy and their dog went out for the Anakin role in Attack of the Clones
Tom Hanks? Michael Jackson? Tupac? Christian Bale? There were some VERY interesting close calls in casting for Eps 1-3

In news, we get into the Mando movie announcement and speculate what that might mean for a season 4. Does the Rey film have a script? We also get into Ahsoka season 2 and possibly more Tales of the... series. We share your Maul Bag and FACPA Answering Machine messages and more!
