    Episode CXLVI: The Worst Year for Star Wars - 2024 Year in Review

    2024 marked a definitive turning point in the Star Wars fandom with casual, and even die hard fans leaving in droves due to consistant low quality projects and a lack of direction at Disney and Lucasfilm. I discuss why this years failures were the biggest ever across TV, video games, and movies and why they far outshined the release of good projects like Skeleton Crew and Bad Batch's final season.

    Episode CXLII: Skeleton Crew Episode 5 Thoughts

    In the holiday spirit, Skeleton Crew dropped its 5th episode on Christmas Eve, and it was another solid present. We get our most radical tonal shift in the show with a satisfying twist. The sense of adventure and discovery is still front and center with great comedic moments. The episode does suffer from more conveniences but I get into why they are more easily forgiven with this show. Hear all these thoughts and more. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
