Episode #75: Thanksgiving is here and there is a lot to be thankful for in the Star Wars universe including the live-action series in the works based on the adventures of CASIAN ANDOR, new music for GALAXY’S EDGE from the maestro himself JOHN WILLIAMS, and anniversary celebrations for the trailer for THE PHANTOM MENACE and the infamous Star Wars CHRISTMAS SPECIAL. Lastly we honor the passing of two greats: Marvel’s real life superhero STAN LEE and screenwriter extraordinaire WILLIAM GOLDMAN.

Episode 73: “The Falcon has landed!” may have been gushed by SpaceX officials following the epic upright landing of the FALCON 9 BOOST STAGE back in 2015, but little did they know that another Falcon – the MILLENIUM FALCON – would land a few years later at the happiest place on earth in Anaheim, California. We’ve got updates on Disney’s GALAXY’S EDGE and more including the Marvel release schedule for the next four years (10 movies!), pictures and speculation from the set of THE MANDALORIAN, and enough STAR WARS COMICS talk to put the producer to sleep. Plus Greg shakes the paint, SCOTT’S COLLECTOR’S CORNER debuts, and we drop a few choice f-bombs into Star Wars dialog.
