    S4 - EP 11: The Mandalorian & Grogu Movie. Yikes!

    Are Star Wars fans being sold a side quest instead of a main event? It was entertaining in a popcorn, theatre going way. A perfect, family-friendly outing. But did die-hard fans who've waited 7 years for a true Star Wars movie deserve more than a lengthy Mandalorian episode with some flashy effects?

    S4 - EP 9: What is the Most Star Wars Moment... Ever?

    What is the most Star Wars moment… in all of Star Wars? Not the best movie. Not the best character. Not even the best scene. We’re talking about that one moment that defines Star Wars. The one that captures the magic, the mythology, the emotion… the thing that makes you go—yeah… that’s Star Wars. And here’s the twist—we’ve all picked just one. No lists. No backups. One shot. Let’s see who nailed it… and who’s completely lost the plot.

    S4 - EP 8: Our Reaction to Maul - Shadow Lord (Episodes 1 & 2)

    The dark side has never looked this good. In this episode of The Lightsaber Lounge, we dive into the first two episodes of Maul: Shadow Lord—and right away, things feel… different. The animation is bold, cinematic, and unlike anything we’ve seen before in Star Wars. But it’s the tone that really hits—darker, more intense, and unapologetically adult. And then there’s Maul. Cunning. Ruthless. Violent. And somehow… completely compelling. Why are we rooting for him? We break down the stunning visual style, the shift in storytelling, and what makes Maul one of the most fascinating characters in the entire Star Wars universe. Is this the direction Star Wars should be heading? Grab a drink, settle in, and let’s talk about it.

    S4 - EP 6: Star Wars Horror Rumours. How Dark is TOO Dark?

    Star Wars… but horror? This week, we break down rumours that Lucasfilm may be exploring darker, scarier storytelling. How dark is too dark? Would horror even work in Star Wars—or would it divide fans? We also break down some of the creepiest moments the franchise has already given us and debate whether Star Wars has secretly been flirting with horror all along. Could this actually happen? And most importantly, how would we feel if Star Wars tried to scare us?

Honest reactions, surprising takes, and plenty of laughs as we find out if our Star Wars starter plan actually worked.
