Star Wars Holiday Special | Commentary Track
In 1978 CBS made an arrangement with Lucas that would forever be the most mocked holiday tradition on TV in history, at least within the star wars community. Lucas was busy moving his production company to a new location when it all went down so no credit goes to George for this atrocity. Apologies to those who love the holiday special. Today we commentary over this glorious failure and take a dive into the trenches of the star wars fandom with this CBS special. Bear with us, strap in your seatbelts and lock in those headphones as we venture through the painful and most boring star wars film of all time. "Star Wars Holiday Special"

History became legend. Legend became myth. A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...

Star Wars: Eclipse | The Bogan Collection | ”The Return” Boba Teaser Breakdown
The High Republic has a very story centric game coming to consoles and PC in the future. We got a full BREAKDOWN of the cinematic trailer right here in this episode and we're of course very excited for this development happening with Star Wars: Eclipse. The Book of Boba Fett is right around the corner, about 2 weeks away, and the latest teaser trailer called "The Return" gives us further insight into the show's plot points and where they might take the fan favorite bounty hunter in his travels - let's break that down and speculate!
The Bogan Collection is a secret archive of Sith artifacts hidden in the Jedi Temple, today we dive into what's in there and how it plays up into the narrative of the Jedi as well as when this collection has showed up. Did you know about a sith temple beneath the Jedi temple? Or the fact they stored sith artifacts in the temple? It's worth chatting about, let's find out why.

Ben Solo / Kylo Ren | What Happened
The story of Ben Solo is complicated, and the movies don't exactly do this character justice as far as a complete story arc goes, we got to dig deeper, look at the novels and comics, and games for the rest of the answers we seek. Despite the films including Ben as a main character, he is portrayed primarily as a villain. Unlike the story of Anakin Skywalker, we begin to perceive him as a bad guy over a good guy. The focus of the sequel trilogy was on Rey, and today we want to dedicate an entire episode to walking through the life and legend of Ben Solo! You don't want to miss this one.
