    S4 - EP 2: Last Call on Batuu: Why Disney is Changing Galaxy's Edge

    Disney is making significant changes to the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge theme park. In this episode of The Lightsaber Lounge, we break down what’s changing in Batuu, why Disney may be shifting course, and whether this marks a broader pivot in Star Wars storytelling. Is the tightly locked timeline era finally loosening? Are we heading toward more flexible, character-driven experiences? And what does this mean for the future of Star Wars in the parks?

    S3 - Episode #13: 2025 Christmas Special: What We Want Santa to Bring Us!

    In this special Christmas episode, we gather around the holotable to share what we really want to find under the tree this year—Star Wars–style. From genuinely realistic gift ideas any fan might unwrap, to wildly impractical, credits-are-no-object collectibles that would make even a Hutt jealous, everyone brings a personal wish list to Santa’s workshop. It’s festive, nerdy, occasionally irresponsible, and full of the kind of Star Wars joy that reminds us why we love this galaxy in the first place. Grab some blue milk, get cozy, and join us for a holiday episode packed with wishful thinking.

    S3 - Episode #12: Introducing a Newbie to Star Wars

    How Should You Introduce a Grown Adult to Star Wars? This week, the crew tackles one of fandom’s spiciest debates: What’s the perfect viewing order for a total Star Wars newbie? Do you start them with the classics? Go full Machete Order? Chaos-drop them into Andor? We break down the pros, cons, and emotional landmines of every path—while roasting the idea that there are still humans who haven’t seen a single lightsaber ignite. Grab your blue milk and join the argument… er, discussion. New fans, old fans, and confused non-fans all welcome.

    Star Wars: The Couch Strikes Back. In this episode we talk about the lack of new Star Wars movies compared to the binge and couch friendly content on Disney+. Does Disney care about Star Wars movies anymore? Do fans miss going to the theatre for a big screen experience? What's the future of Star Wars... is it just a TV franchise now?

    S3 - Episode #10: Did Yoda Fail the Jedi?

    Yoda is one of the most beloved figures in Star Wars — wise, powerful, and iconic. But did he actually fail as a leader of the Jedi Order? On this episode, we’re pulling apart his choices, his philosophy, and whether the galaxy might have been better off if Yoda had done things differently.

    S3 - Episode #9: The Wacky & Wonderful World of Lego Star Wars

    The galaxy is falling apart — literally. LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy smashes canon, scrambles characters, and dares to ask: what if Star Wars was a comedy first and a space opera second? Join us as we debate whether LEGO Star Wars is a masterpiece of playful reinvention or just a giant toy commercial we’re all happy to watch anyway. We’re talking all things LEGO Star Wars — the sets, the games, the shows, and whether Rebuild the Galaxy is secretly the best Star Wars multiverse story ever. It’s a debate as unhinged as a half-built Death Star!
