Talkin’ Tauntauns - A Star Wars Discussion

Abel Peña, the proverbial forefather of the Mandalorians, is back with us for another episode! Who ever said we don't spoil our listeners? This time around Abel digs into his contributions to Legends and laying the groundwork for what has become one of the most popular cultures in the Star Wars universe, we're talking of course about our favorite warrior poets, the Mandalorians.

There's also some breaking news out of the holonet including rumors swirling about possible delays to the highly anticipated live-action Obi-Wan series, Jim's thoughts on the Resistance finale, and the whole crew excitedly digs into the freshly announced Poe Dameron YA novel.

Rise of the Resistance with Legends author Abel Peña

We're down a pilot this week as Connor's out of action with the Brainrot Plague, famous for wiping out the entire humanoid population of the Weemell sector. Meanwhile Jim's just returned from Black Spire Outpost, having escaped with his very own lightsaber, and maybe, just maybe, he's smuggled out information on the secret Rebel base hidden on Batuu.

In a special surprise for our listeners we have Legends author Abel Pena aboard to talk the impending final season of Clone Wars, Galaxy's Edge, and his contributions to our favorite galaxy far, far away.

The Clone Wars Returns

At long last the legendary animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars has made its triumphant return. Episode one of the seventh and final season "The Bad Batch" is now streaming on Disney+ and our crew have all kinds of things to say about it.

Do you love Star Wars comics? Rhetorical question right? Marvel has three new comic series out set in a galaxy far, far away and two waiting in the wings. Naturally we're already hooked on watching Ben Solo's transformation into Kylo Ren, Darth Vader hunting down big secrets, and Luke and Lando's respective journeys after the events of The Empire Strikes Back.
