  • Love it, but…

    I think this podcast does a great job of explaining everything you need to know about both legends and canon continuity, but just one thing: they need to understand why things happen besides the canon reasons. For example, with K-2SO, I would like for them to just acknowledge that his story was red conned and Andor, and the head cannon feels unnecessary. But great nonetheless!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Andor Won Four Emmys Already - Last Week In Star Wars
Q: How do you think the Imperial Shadow Council will react to Thrawn's return?
I think there were rumors that one of the council members was going to be in The Mandalorian and Grogu, so I think there's potential to see what he's up to.
Andor Won Four Emmys Already - Last Week In Star Wars
Q: Do you think the Mandalorian and Grogu or Starfighter will have crawls at the start?
Probably not a full crawl, but yes to like a little bit of setting the stage.
Han Solo and Doctor Aphra Team Up - Last Week In Star Wars
Q: If Mando and Grogu is a critical and financial success, will that launch more Mando movies instead of the series continuing on Disney Plus?
If it's a financial success, Disney might pivot more towards movies rather than continuing the series, though the host prefers the current series format for Mandalorian.
Han Solo and Doctor Aphra Team Up - Last Week In Star Wars
Q: Which High Republic character I would most want to party with at DragonCon in honor of that panel?
Geode, as he is entertaining and would be a big hit at DragonCon.
Will Oscar Isaac Return to Star Wars - Last Week In Star Wars
Q: If we think Star Wars movies will follow that model and be more planned out?
Yes, it is hoped that as Disney seems to be giving lead time and focusing on future projects, Star Wars movies will be more thoughtfully planned out, drawing lessons from the High Republic initiative.
