Star Wars 7x7: A Daily Bite-Sized Dose of Star Wars Joy Star Wars 7x7

The little gift Star Wars fans got on the Disney Channel's YouTube channel on May the 4th was a delightfully rewatchable two minutes of animated fun. It's "How NOT to Draw R2-D2," and I'll share a bunch of reasons why it's awesome on today's show. Punch it!

The "May the 12th" Simpsons Star Wars short on Disney+ has its share of moments that will probably make you smile, but it's not a can't-miss thing. And in all honesty, for this being a Mother's Day thing, they do Marge dirty throughout. Punch it!

There's so much more happening in the month of May related to Star Wars storytelling than I fully clocked when we did our first-of-the-month episode! So we're updating now, and (with lots of advance warning) talking about a spoiler-y new Acolyte spot. Punch it!
And as promised on the show, here's the new spot for The Acolyte - watch it at your own spoiler-y risk:

A new commercial spot for The Acolyte hit the Star Wars YouTube channel (on a Saturday?) and shows us more of the fight between Mae and Master Indara. But between this and the trailers we've received so far, are we being subjected to intentional misdirection? Punch it!
