Show Notes - Ep. 68, 8/17/18

Episode #68: Amidst the FAKE NEWS that there is no Obi Wan project in the works (come on EWAN just admit it!) real news from the Star Wars universe continues to flow like saliva on Jabba’s lower lip and in this ep we cover it all including what Disney’s acquisition of Fox really means for the Star Wars saga, rumors about JOHN FAVREAU’S live action series, why GRAND ADMIRAL THAWN and JOHNNY DEPP are never seen at parties together, and EVANEGLINE LILLY’S wish to play Leia. Plus we have updates on the James Gunn firing (he’s still fired) and our in-depth investigation on whether JOHN WAYNE was in A New Hope.
