Show Notes - Ep. 63, 6/8/18

Episode #63: It’s been an interesting couple of weeks for Lucasfilm and The House of Mouse as SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY’s “underperformance” at the box office lit the internet aflame and provided a box from which the CHICKEN LITTLES of the galaxy stood and blew their trumpets. In this episode we break through the clutter and help you understand why Star Wars is not in trouble (or is it?), showcase the official debut of SCOTT WATCH 2018, and determine our top five lightsaber battles in the HIVE FIVE.
