We're back after a week off, and we dug into one of the biggest debates in the fandom: does anything Disney has made actually deserve S-tier? We ranked every movie, TV show, and animated series since the acquisition, from the sequel trilogy through Andor and the Clone Wars final season, and yeah, we disagreed plenty along the way. If you want to know exactly where the chips fell and which project we argued about the longest, this is the episode.

We also broke down the new Empire interview with Dave Filoni, who confirms the Mortis Gods are officially a factor in Ahsoka Season 2. We got into what Filoni's teasing about the Father, Son, and Daughter tying into Ahsoka's arc on Peridea, and what it could mean for her and Sabine as the season unfolds.

Nick and I finally sat down and did something we've been putting off for a while: ranking our personal top 10 Star Wars games of all time. No arguing about which one is objectively best, just our own lists, our own history with these games, and the picks that shaped how we think about Star Wars gaming. Some entries were easy locks. Others sparked real disagreement, including a few old-school picks that might surprise people expecting an all-modern list.

Then we turned to Zero Company, which just dropped, and put it to the real test: does it actually belong in that top 10 conversation, or is it good but not tier-worthy? We break down what the game gets right, where it falls short compared to the classics on our lists, and whether "new and solid" is the same thing as "all-time great."

Matt and Young Nick are back after a hiatus with a stacked news week, kicking things off with a full review of Star Wars Zero Company. They dig into Bit Reactor's XCOM-style tactics game, the mercenary crew at the center of it, and the Infinite Coil cult led by Kundri Fathom, weighing in on whether the game lives up to its strong critical reception.

From there the guys break down a newly leaked Starfighter nightclub scene involving Kade and Belle, plus the wild details on Fanga, the mysterious new creature going up against Kade in the ring. They also share their impressions of The Ninth Jedi now that the full season has landed on Disney Plus, covering the Nawaam and Gennoh conflict and whether the show earns its five-year wait.

The episode wraps with a deep look at the Ahsoka Season 2 teaser, breaking down the Clone Wars flashback, the mystery duelist facing off against Anakin and young Ahsoka, and what Anakin's cryptic line about Baylan Skoll might mean for the season ahead.

Young Nick had to bail last minute, so this week's duel ranking got weird in the best way. Matt still ran the full head-to-head format, ranking all 13 Star Wars movies worst to best, then flipping into "Nick mode" to guess exactly how Nick would have ranked his own list and where the two of them would have clashed.

Every saga film, both standalone stories, the 2008 Clone Wars movie, and The Mandalorian and Grogu are all on the board. Expect some surprising placements, a few takes Matt fully commits to, and some genuinely funny moments trying to channel Nick's taste in real time. There's also a quick Starfighter update on writer Jonathan Tropper's comments about the finished film.

Matt and Young Nick dig into the biggest Star Wars rumor of the week: a fresh wave of Starfighter leaks centered on Ryan Gosling's character, Cade, and how he connects to co-star Flynn Gray's character on the mysterious Jedi refuge planet Adaria.

They break down the family backstory tied to Amy Adams, the lightsaber duel between Mia Goth and Aaron Pierre, and the wild new casting details around Eva Mendes's cantina owner character. Plus, Matt Smith's comments on the film's rough cut make for one of the more interesting quotes of the week.

From there, the guys shift to Star Wars Eclipse, where Quantic Dream has pushed back on concerns following layoffs and a strike at their Paris studio, insisting the game remains fully staffed and on track.

They close out with a review of the brand new trailer for Star Wars: Visions Presents - The Ninth Jedi, including the episode count and voice cast for the August 5 debut, and cap things off with a look at the newly announced LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian special hitting Disney+ on September 2.

Anakin Is In Zero Company, Jedi 3 Rumors, and The Ninth Jedi: Big Star Wars News This Week

It was a big week for Star Wars fans who care about games and animation, and Matt and Young Nick broke it all down on this week's SWTS. The headliner is Star Wars Zero Company, which got a full gameplay trailer at Summer Game Fest along with an official release date of August 27, 2026. The Clone Wars-era tactics game looks like a love letter to XCOM fans, and the big story-side reveal is that Anakin Skywalker will cross paths with the Zero Company crew during the game's campaign.

On the rumor front, reliable insider Tom Henderson dropped word that Star Wars Jedi 3 will feature a noticeably older Cal Kestis, pointing to a time jump that could be significantly larger than the five-year gap between Fallen Order and Survivor. There's also a status update on Amy Hennig's long-gestating Star Wars project, which is confirmed still in development after Skydance New Media was folded into the newly formed Paramount Games Studio. And wrapping things up, Star Wars Visions Presents: The Ninth Jedi has a Summer 2026 Disney Plus window confirmed, with the first episode getting a special screening at Anime Expo on July 2.

Good week to be a Star Wars fan. Lots to look forward to across games and animation, and the guys got into all of it.

Matt and Young Nick are back after two weeks off and they kicked things off with a quick detour into Dungeon Crawler Carl before getting into the main event. If you know, you know. If you don't, the show is called a podcast for a more uncivilized age for a reason.

From there the guys dove deep into The Mandalorian and Grogu, breaking down the film as a full review and giving their honest takes on what worked, what didn't, and what it means for the future of the MandoVerse. Then they closed out by going back to the wants and predictions doc they put together before the film released and graded themselves prediction by prediction. The short version: the movie had other plans. The longer version is worth the listen.

Matt and Young Nick kicked off this episode by putting their pre-season Maul: Shadow Lord predictions and fan wants to the test. With Season 1 in the books, the guys graded their calls on everything from Devon's arc and Maul's long-game victory to Vader's unforgettable finale appearance, Marrok's allegiances, and which fan wants the show actually delivered on. Some predictions landed hard, some needed a little creative grading, and a few were dead on arrival from the start.

The second half of the show shifted to The Mandalorian and Grogu, hitting theaters May 22nd. Matt and Nick ran through ten fan wants and ten predictions for the film, covering the big box office question, whether Grogu gets a real character moment or just more cute reaction shots, Thrawn's likely shadow over the story, Rotta the Hutt as a potential ally, and what it would mean for Kathleen Kennedy to be wrong about Grogu's first word. It's a full wants and predictions breakdown for the most important Star Wars theatrical release in years.

Maul Shadow Lord Finale Deep Dive — Vader Won, But Maul Still Got What He Wanted

Matt and Young Nick went live for a full deep dive on the Maul Shadow Lord Season 1 finale, covering both Strange Allies and The Dark Lord from top to bottom. They kicked things off with their personal reviews of the finale before going episode by episode through top moments, Easter eggs, references, and lore connections to past and future Star Wars. The guys also delivered their full Season 1 verdict after ten episodes.

The conversation got spicy when Matt and Nick revisited just how wrong they were about Maul being able to hang with Vader — because he clearly could not. They also circled back to Marrok's cryptic call to his lord at the end of Episode 6, which hits very differently now that Vader showed up, and dug into whether Lawson and Marrok actually survived the finale. On the lore side, the guys broke down all the connections between the Shadow Lord story and where Maul ends up across Rebels, Solo, and beyond.

To close things out, Matt and Nick looked ahead to Season 2, breaking down what Devon joining Maul means for the story, how the Empire is likely to escalate their response, and what Maul's deal with Dryden Vos could set in motion knowing he is eventually destined to lead Crimson Dawn.

Matt and Nick sat down live for a full deep dive on Shadow Lord chapters 7 and 8, "Call to Oblivion" and "The Creeping Fear." These are the best two episodes of the season so far, and they deliver on nearly every front -- action, character work, lore connections, and a psychological breakdown sequence for Maul that reframes his entire arc in the most compelling way the character has ever been handled on screen.

The show covers personal reviews of both episodes, top moments, easter eggs and lore references including Savage Opress, the Duel of the Fates audio callback, the Revenge of the Sith title connection, and the arrival of the Eleventh Brother. The big debate centers on Maul's lifelong abuse at the hands of Sidious and whether that makes him a more purely tragic figure than Anakin Skywalker. Also on the table: episode 7 dialogue that points pretty firmly to who Marrok was reporting to at the end of episode 6, and what the Crimson Dawn name drop at the end of episode 8 means for the finale.

Matt and Young Nick went live with their full review of Maul: Shadow Lord episodes 5 and 6, Inquisition and Night of the Hunted, and things got heated in the best possible way. Both episodes delivered on the promise of the Star Destroyer cliffhanger from last week, with Marrok arriving on Janix as a genuine menace and the train duel delivering some of the best action Lucasfilm Animation has ever put on screen.

The biggest debate of the night was the "my lord" cliffhanger ending with Marrok reporting to an unseen holographic figure. Matt is firmly in the Vader camp. Nick is convinced it's Palpatine himself. Neither budged. We also got into whether Master Daki using the Lawsons and pulling them deeper into danger with the Empire is really any different from what Maul is doing to Devon. Matt thinks Daki's hands are dirtier than he gets credit for. Nick wasn't ready to put Daki in the same category as Maul. Another split decision.

For predictions heading into episodes 7 and 8, Call to Oblivion and The Creeping Fear, Matt and Nick are expecting the 11th Brother to show up and believe Daki survives through to the finale. As for the "my lord" reveal, don't expect answers next week. They're predicting that mystery rides a little longer.

Matt and Nick went live this week for a full deep dive into Maul Shadow Lord Chapters 3 and 4, Whispers in the Unknown and Pride and Vengeance. The guys broke down their personal reviews of both episodes, hit their top moments, and dug into the Easter eggs and lore connections tying this series back to the broader Star Wars universe.

The main talking point of the night centered on Maul as a master manipulator. In Episode 3, Maul gets Devon Izawa alone, shares his version of his history, and lets her hold his lightsaber blade — and the Dark Side calls to her through it. He then lets her walk away. Matt and Nick debated whether that move was calculated seduction or Maul genuinely testing her, and whether Devon is already further down the path than she realizes. The question of whether Maul is getting inside her head and slowly steering her toward his view of how the Force should be wielded was front and center all night.

The guys also looked ahead to Episodes 5 and 6, titled Inquisition and Night of the Hunted, dropping next Monday April 20, and laid out their predictions for where the story is heading now that Daki is injured and the Empire may be closing in on Janix.

Maul Shadow Lord Premiere Review: Our Honest Takes, Top Moments & Predictions

Matt and Young Nick went live to break down the two-episode premiere of Star Wars: Maul Shadow Lord, and there was plenty to dig into. The guys gave their full personal reviews of Chapter 1: The Dark Revenge and Chapter 2: Sinister Schemes, covering everything from the show's gritty crime noir tone and stunning watercolor-influenced animation to how this post-Order 66 version of Maul compares to where we left him at the end of The Clone Wars.

The deep dive covered top moments from both episodes, easter eggs and lore connections hiding across Janix, and a close look at Devon Izara and what her dynamic with Maul could mean as the season develops. Maul is hunting the crime lords who betrayed him after the fall of the Shadow Collective, and Matt and Nick got into what that revenge tour likely looks like over the remaining 8 episodes.

This week on the Star Wars Time Show, we go full speculation mode on Maul: Shadow Lord.

After breaking down the trailer and early details in previous episodes, it’s time to zoom out and ask two big questions: what do fans actually want to see from this series, and what do we realistically think Lucasfilm is going to deliver?

We start with the biggest fan wants, including a true bridge from The Clone Wars to Solo and Rebels, the rise of Crimson Dawn, and long-requested moments like a Maul vs Vader collision or even a confrontation with Palpatine. There’s also growing interest in how characters like Qi’ra, Ahsoka, and the Inquisitors could factor into the story.

Then we shift into predictions. Will the show stay grounded on Janix? Is Devon really going to fall to the dark side? And how far will the series go in setting up Maul’s eventual fate?

Topics include:

• What fans want to see play out
• Predictions on what will actually happen
• Where Maul’s story picks up after The Clone Wars
• Timeline connections to the Empire era
• What this show needs to get right

Let us know your predictions and what you want to see from Maul: Shadow Lord.

As always… this is a podcast for a more uncivilized age.

This week on Star Wars Time Show we break down the latest news about the upcoming Star Wars film Mandalorian & Grogu.

Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy recently addressed one of the biggest questions fans have about the movie. Will Grogu finally speak? We discuss what she said and whether Grogu speaking would change the character moving forward.

We also talk about comments from Jon Favreau and Pedro Pascal regarding Din Djarin appearing without his helmet in the film and what that might mean for the character’s arc.

Jeremy Allen White’s portrayal of Rotta the Hutt is another major topic, as we discuss how Jabba’s son could factor into the story and the broader underworld of Star Wars.

In the second half of the episode we recap and review the first issue of Marvel’s Shadow of Maul, a comic that acts as a prequel to the upcoming Maul: Shadow Lord animated series on Disney+. We break down the major story beats, discuss key characters introduced in the comic, and speculate on how the events could connect to the upcoming show.

We also briefly discuss the long-awaited Knights of the Old Republic remake and whether the project is still alive after several years of uncertainty.

Star Wars fans… we might regret this one.

In this week’s episode of the Star Wars Time Show, Matt and Nick are back with 10 brand-new Star Wars hot takes for 2026 — and some of them are going to hurt.

We’re debating:

• Have the prequels aged better than the sequels?

• Is The Empire Was Right actually defensible?

• Is Andor easily the best Disney+ Star Wars series?

• Is A New Hope overrated?

• Has Grogu already peaked as a character?

• Should Ahsoka Season 2 kill a major character?

• Is Darth Maul better written than Darth Vader?

• Is Star Wars animation more important than live action?

• Should Star Wars take a 5-year break after this slate?

These aren’t safe takes. These aren’t polite takes. These are the ones that start arguments.

Let us know which hot take you agree with — and which one crossed the line.

May the debate be with you.

Darth Maul is one of the most iconic villains in Star Wars history — and in this episode of the Star Wars Time Show, we celebrate his 10 greatest moments across The Phantom Menace, The Clone Wars, Solo, and Star Wars Rebels.

From “At last we will reveal ourselves…” to Duel of the Fates, the shocking death of Qui-Gon Jinn, Maul’s resurrection in The Clone Wars, the rise of the Shadow Collective, the Siege of Mandalore, and the unforgettable “KENOBI!” duel in Twin Suns, we walk through Maul’s complete arc chronologically.

After breaking down all 10 moments, Matt and Nick each reveal their personal Top 3 Darth Maul moments of all time.

Was Maul at his best in the prequels?

Did The Clone Wars elevate him into one of Star Wars’ most layered villains?

Or did his final confrontation with Obi-Wan in Rebels give him the perfect ending?

Last night Matt went live for a full scene-by-scene breakdown of the first trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu.

While Rotta the Hutt and the underworld grab immediate attention, this doesn’t look like a simple bounty hunter movie. The bigger question is whether the Hutts are operating independently — or working with the fractured remnants of the Empire.

We discuss:

• Why the Hutts may be tied to Imperial warlords

• Whether the New Republic might need something from Rotta

• The Shadow Council connections from The Mandalorian Season 3

• The warlord seen in the trailer and what that implies

• Why fans don’t want “just a Hutt movie”

• Din Djarin’s role in a fragile New Republic era

If this film continues the Shadow Council storyline, it could be setting up something much larger in the post-Return of the Jedi era.

The Mandalorian & Grogu opens exclusively in theaters May 22, 2026.

This week’s solo livestream dives into the latest Star Wars news and a data-driven breakdown that might change how you view the saga.

First up, we cover a new update on the long-quiet Rogue Squadron film, including comments from screenwriter Matthew Robinson and what they may signal about the project’s status at Lucasfilm.

Then we examine a reported Ahsoka Season 2 leak involving a Dathomir set build and what that could mean for the direction of the series. Why return to Dathomir? And what does it say about where the story is headed?

For the main topic, we shift from rumors to raw numbers.

Using screen time data from the Star Wars movies, we break down the 10 characters with the most total screen time in the Skywalker Saga. Some placements are exactly what you’d expect. Others might surprise you. The results spark a bigger question: who really drives Star Wars when you look at the franchise objectively?

#starwarstimeshow #top10 #ahsoka 

This week on the Star Wars Time Show, Matt is joined by Young Nick for a pre-recorded episode packed with Star Wars news, rumors, and leaked set photo discussion.

We start with Ahsoka Season 2, where newly surfaced set images appear to show massive, ancient mechanical remains scattered across Peridea. If the photos are legit, they may hint at a long-forgotten war that left the galaxy largely lifeless, outside of the Great Witches seen in stasis during Season 1. We also discuss a separate rumored image tied to the Mortis Gods and what that could mean for how deep Season 2 might go into Force mythology.

From there, we shift to confirmed news, including reports that the upcoming Starfighter film will feature no legacy characters at all, signaling a major creative departure for theatrical Star Wars.

We also hit on podracing officially returning in the upcoming Galactic Racer game and break down the first preview of the Maul prequel comic Shadow of Maul, which explores Maul’s past ahead of the animated series Maul: Shadow Lord.

As always, we separate fact from speculation, flag rumors clearly, and try to connect the dots without going full tinfoil.

This week on The Star Wars Time Show, we attempt something deeply unwise: ranking 85 Star Wars video games live.

From genre-defining classics to forgotten oddities, we build a massive tier list covering decades of Star Wars gaming history. Not every game here is one we’ve personally played, so yes — there’s a Haven’t Played tier — and chat absolutely gets involved when things get controversial.

Expect strong opinions, instant regret, nostalgia, and plenty of debate as games move between S-tier legends and bottom-of-the-barrel disasters.

Whether you grew up with retro Star Wars games or jumped in during the modern era, this one’s guaranteed to spark arguments.

This week on the Star Wars Time Show, Matt and Young Nick break down two stories that hit very different parts of the Star Wars fandom, but both carry real implications for the future of the franchise.

First, we dive into a growing rumor circulating within the industry that Dave Filoni could be preparing to take on a larger leadership role at Lucasfilm, potentially alongside Lynwen Brennan, with longtime president Kathleen Kennedy possibly nearing retirement. We discuss where the rumor is coming from, how realistic it actually is, and what a Filoni-led Lucasfilm might look like in practice, creatively and structurally.

Then we pivot to the bigger surprise of the week: reports that Tom Cruise filmed a lightsaber duel for Shawn Levy’s upcoming Star Wars film, Starfighter. While Cruise’s involvement is eye-catching on its own, the real takeaway is what this confirms about the movie itself: Force users and lightsabers are officially part of the story. We break down why that matters, what it tells us about the direction of Star Wars films, and why this changes expectations for Starfighter.

Topics covered include:

• How credible the Filoni leadership rumors really are

• What Lucasfilm leadership transitions usually look like

• Why lightsabers in Starfighter are a much bigger deal than Cruise’s cameo

• What this means for Force users in future Star Wars films

As always, we separate rumor from reality and talk through what actually matters long-term for Star Wars.

As we head into the holiday break, it’s time to look back at the moments that defined Star Wars in 2025.

In this solo episode of Star Wars Time Show, I rank and break down the top 10 Star Wars moments of the year — from Andor Season 2 setting a new standard for Star Wars storytelling, to major film and TV reveals, to the surprising wins that quietly won fans over.

This wasn’t just a year of announcements. It was a year where Star Wars finally felt confident again.

Topics include:

• Why Andor Season 2 stands above everything else

• The Mandalorian and Grogu’s return to the big screen

• Shawn Levy’s Starfighter movie announcement

• Maul: Shadow Lord and the smart use of legacy characters

• Skeleton Crew’s surprisingly strong finale

• Visions Volume 3 and The Ninth Jedi’s future

• Revenge of the Sith returning to theaters for its 20th anniversary

• And how the Star Wars community itself changed in 2025

This is a reflection on where Star Wars has been — and where it finally seems to be going.

What was your top Star Wars moment of 2025?

What would the Star Wars Prequels look like if George Lucas returned and gave them the same Special Edition treatment he applied to the Original Trilogy? In this episode, we explore the most Lucas-style updates that fit his historical editing patterns — expanded environments, enhanced VFX, improved battles, deleted-scene reintegration, creature updates, and small story refinements across The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith.

We also offer our final verdict on which prequel benefits most from a Lucas-style overhaul.

Anakin Skywalker at his Jedi peak vs Darth Vader in his Sith prime — who was actually more powerful?

In this solo deep-dive, Matt breaks down Anakin’s unrealized potential, Vader’s refined dark-side mastery, and how the Chosen One’s tragedy created two entirely different versions of the same Force titan.

We’ll explore:

• Was Vader truly weaker, or did he become a different kind of monster?

• How both versions of Skywalker compare to Palpatine, Obi-Wan, and Yoda

• The wild difference between Legends Vader vs Canon Vader

• Vader’s craziest feats that most fans don’t know

• Could Anakin have defeated Sidious if he remained a Jedi?

• Final verdict: Potential vs actualization — what power really means in Star Wars

Matt also touches on a new synopsis for The Mandalorian and Grogu Movie, gives answers to this week's AMA segment, and shares the latest Star Wars x Columbia Collab!

We explore what makes Star Wars a living myth — how it became something bigger than its creators, and why fans feel such deep ownership of the galaxy far, far away. Pete dives into five decades of fandom, George Lucas’s evolving legacy, and what it means to love a story that belongs to everyone and no one.

In this episode:

• How Star Wars became a modern myth

• The line between fan passion and creator intent

• Disney’s role in shaping the saga’s legacy

• Why Star Wars still connects — even through conflict

This week, Matt flew solo to react to the breaking news that the Hunt for Ben Solo movie has officially been canceled. He broke down what might have led to the decision, and whether the concept of a post–Rise of Skywalker Ben Solo story made sense to begin with. His take? The story might’ve worked better as a prequel, exploring Ben’s fall rather than his Force ghost era.

Fan responses flooded in, with one standout idea gaining traction—an animated Ben Solo series following his early Jedi training and slow turn to the dark side. Matt loved the pitch and said it could offer the character a second life onscreen.

Matt also discussed the major Acolyte reveal that Qimir was originally planned to be the first Knight of Ren, confirmed by showrunner Leslye Headland and subtly teased in the Galaxy of Heroes game bio.

He wrapped up the episode with a reflection on the Top 10 Star Wars Visions shorts from Volumes 1 and 2, offering personal favorites and suggestions for fans to revisit ahead of Volume 3.

The episode closed with fan reactions to the Ben Solo news and another round of incredible Star Wars fan art picks from the community.

This week, Matt and Nick reunited to finish what they started—taking aim at Empire Magazine’s Top 50 Greatest Star Wars Characters of All Time. This episode covered ranks 25 through 1, and let’s just say it was a mix of celebration, disbelief, and straight-up shade. Some picks made sense. Others… not so much. But the #1 spot? Things got very suspect.

During the Ask Us Anything segment, the guys tackled a hot question: How will Dave Filoni handle Thrawn’s fate in the Mandoverse? Will Thrawn go down in a blaze of villainous glory, get exiled, or pull off a shocking alliance with the heroes? Matt and Nick discussed all the most likely outcomes—and the ones no one’s expecting.

If you’re into ranking debates, character analysis, and wild Thrawn theories, this episode is right in your star lane.

Empire Magazine dropped their list of the 50 Greatest Star Wars Characters of All Time—but did they get it right? In this video, we break down characters ranked #50 to #26, and we’re not holding back.

From underrated heroes to surprising omissions, we analyze who deserves a higher spot, who’s overrated, and which icons should not be on the list at all.

Join us for Part 1 of our two-part series ranking and reacting to one of the most controversial Star Wars lists ever published.

Matt also reviews TRON: Ares, shows off the channel's True Power of the Force video, and memorializes Drew Struzan.

This week marked the launch of a brand-new era for the Star Wars Time Show. Matt and Nick introduced their new bi-weekly prerecorded format, where they’ll team up every other Monday to record a full show that premieres on YouTube Wednesdays at 6PM EST. On the off weeks, Matt will host solo livestreams to keep the content flowing. It’s a new rhythm for the channel, and the team is excited for what’s ahead.

Once the announcements were out of the way, they jumped into Ask Us Anything with a great question: Which Original Trilogy character’s story would you change? Nick picked Lando, Matt picked Boba Fett—but you’ll have to tune in to hear why.

The main event was a deep dive review of Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past. Both hosts found it stronger than season 1, praising its chaotic humor, clever writing, and unapologetically unserious tone. That sparked a debate: Is Lego Star Wars the best kind of Star Wars right now?

They closed things out with fan responses to the Question of the Week and another solid batch of Top 5 Star Wars fan artists, showcasing killer work from the community.

This week’s episode opened with Matt fielding Ask Me Anything questions solo, including a wild one: Would he become a hybrid like Wendy from Alien: Earth? Matt’s answer was a clear yes. Who wouldn’t want to be a walking supercomputer with enhanced strength?

He then moved into a review of the HIM movie. While the premise had promise, Matt didn’t think it fully lived up to its potential—or its title.

The main feature was a deep dive into the first teaser trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu. Matt explored possible plot threads, predicting that the Hutt Cartel—possibly even the Twins—could be the film’s main antagonists. Nick joined midway through to finish out the trailer breakdown and add his own speculation.

From there, they jumped into a full review of the Alien: Earth finale. Nick enjoyed it overall, but Matt felt it left too many storylines hanging without a clear path to resolution unless a second season is confirmed.

This week’s episode kicked off with Matt running solo once again, fielding a stack of Ask Me Anything questions. One fan asked what franchise would make for the ultimate Star Wars crossover, and let’s just say Matt’s pick was truly out of this world.

Matt also shared a quick review of the new The Long Walk adaptation, offering solid praise for the film’s tone and pacing. He then revealed a new set photo from Shawn Levy’s Starfighter movie, which sparked a lively discussion between Matt and Nick about the project’s vibe. Both agreed—it looked like something straight out of Waterworld.

The main event was a glowing review of Alien Earth Episode 7, where they discussed the fate of key characters like Kirsh, Wendy and her Xeno drone, Boy Genius, and Morrow. The tension is ramping up heading into the final stretch.

Then came this week’s crossover chaos: Could a Jedi survive a chestburster attack? It was ridiculous, nerdy, and absolutely worth the discussion.

The show wrapped with fan responses to the Jedi chestburster debate and the latest Top 5 Star Wars fan art picks, featuring another round of outstanding community submissions.

This week’s show opened with Matt solo on the mic, handling Ask Me Anything duties with style. Fans hit him with some fun ones—like sharing his best dad jokes and giving his take on Aaron Rodgers’ first game as a Pittsburgh Steeler. Naturally, it got weird.

Matt also discussed breaking news from the galaxy. Thanks to Sigourney Weaver, it’s now confirmed that Pedro Pascal will appear in The Mandalorian & Grogu movie. He also reacted to Tony Gilroy’s comments about Lucasfilm “letting its freak flag fly” on upcoming projects, which could mean some wild Star Wars stories are on the way.

Nick then joined the show to break down Episode 6 of Alien Earth, “The Fly.” Both hosts enjoyed the episode, especially its tension and visuals, but they still have questions about where the story is headed before the finale.

For this week’s crossover segment, they debated the outcome of a wild galactic matchup: Yuuzhan Vong vs a Xenomorph hive. Who wins, and how ugly does it get?

The show closed with fan responses to the Question of the Week and the newest Top 5 Star Wars fan artist showcase, highlighting another amazing round of toy photography and digital art.

This week’s episode opened with Matt holding things down solo, answering Ask Me Anything questions from the community. One standout: Would he still want to explore space after watching Alien: Earth? His answer revealed both caution and curiosity—and maybe a bit of trauma.

Matt also shared a quick review of Caught Stealing, calling it a solid, gritty crime drama worth checking out. Then came the big reveal: brand-new stills from The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, followed by discussion of the now-confirmed Starfighter film from Shawn Levy. The cast is official, and the hype is real.

Nick joined in to break down Episode 5 of Alien Earth, an episode they both loved for its clear homages to Ridley Scott’s original Alien and how it finally tied together some early premiere mysteries.

Then came a galactic-scale debate: Could stormtroopers contain a Xenomorph outbreak on the Death Star? Let’s just say opinions were split and chaos ensued.

The episode wrapped with fan answers to the Question of the Week and the latest Top 5 Star Wars fan artist spotlights, featuring more incredible toy photography and digital art from the community.

This week’s episode kicked off with Matt flying solo, tackling some Ask Me Anything questions from the community. One of the highlights? A classic “what if” scenario—who would survive longer against a Xenomorph on a ship, Chewbacca or Boba Fett? Matt weighed in, and the logic may surprise you.

Nick jumped in shortly after and the duo broke down Episode 4 of Alien Earth. The focus this time was on Wendy’s strange connection to the Xenomorphs, including what might be some kind of communication or psychic link. There’s a lot to unpack with her character and the implications are huge.

The crossover segment took things further by asking: What would the Galactic Empire do if they discovered a hybrid like Wendy? Would they weaponize her, study her, or destroy her? The theories got wild.

As always, the episode closed with fan responses to the crossover prompt and a new batch of Top 5 Star Wars fan art features, showcasing some truly awesome work from the community.

Whether you’re here for lore, speculation, or chaos, this episode had a bit of everything.

This week’s episode was a solo run as Nick took some much-needed vacation time, but Matt kept the show rolling. He kicked things off with Ask Me Anything, answering questions from the community—including one wild fan theory about how Ahsoka might eventually die. Speculation was intense, and the possibilities were darker than you’d think.

Matt followed that up with a quick review of Nobody 2, which he found surprisingly fun. Sure, Bob Odenkirk as a John Wick–style assassin still feels a little absurd, but that’s half the charm.

Then it was time to break down Episode 3 of Alien: Earth. Matt dug into the episode’s pacing, standout moments, and intriguing fan theories—like Wendy’s possible connection to the Xenomorphs and how Kirsh is starting to feel more and more like David from Prometheus.

Next came a Star Wars crossover discussion: What would Palpatine do if he found a Xenomorph hive? Matt explored the dark potential of that twisted combination and read some amazing fan responses to the same question.

The show wrapped up with the latest Top 5 Star Wars fan artists, featuring some incredible toy photography that you won’t want to miss.

This week’s episode delivered big ideas, horror vibes, and a creature crossover that no one asked for—but everyone needed. We kicked things off with Ask Us Anything, featuring a standout question: who would we want to direct a Star Wars movie, and during what timeline? Matt and Nick had very different picks with totally opposite directing styles, which led to a great debate.

Matt then reviewed the new horror film Weapons from Zack Cregger. He found it to be well-made and tense, though maybe a bit overhyped compared to the buzz from fans and critics.

Next came our deep dive into the first two episodes of Alien Earth (Neverland and Mr. October). We were impressed with the tone, storytelling, and pacing. However, we also called out a few continuity issues when compared to Prometheusand Alien: Covenant.

Things got chaotic when we entered crossover territory, pairing Star Wars creatures like the Rancor and Acklay against Xenomorphs. Could Force users tame them? Which galaxy has deadlier predators?

We wrapped with fan creature matchups and the latest Top 5 Star Wars fan art picks of the week. This one had it all.

This week’s episode opens with a twist—literally. We kicked things off with Ask Us Anything, where a fan asked which non–Star Wars movie had the biggest plot twist. Let’s just say Matt and Nick had very different answers, both pulling from late ’90s cinematic curveballs that still hit hard today.

Matt then reviewed the new Fantastic Four reboot and called it a worthwhile, visually solid entry. However, it’s missing that deeper connective tissue to the larger MCU, which left him wanting more.

The centerpiece of the episode was our Top 16 Most Shocking Star Wars Plot Twists. From I am your father to hidden Sith identities and surprise deaths, we broke down the moments that made jaws drop across trilogies and timelines.

We closed out the show with fan-submitted plot twists that left lasting impressions, plus a brand-new Top 5 Star Wars fan artists spotlight for the week.

If you’re a fan of galaxy-shaking reveals and deep Star Wars lore, this one’s packed with surprises.

This week’s episode kicks off with some great Ask Us Anything questions—including our favorite Star Wars quotes and which ones we think are completely overused. (Looking at you, “MTFBWY”)

Matt then reviewed the new 2025 version of I Know What You Did Last Summer. It’s decent, but didn’t quite live up to the original. Both Matt and Nick also shared their early thoughts on the new Switch 2 game Donkey Kong Bananza, and so far they’re both loving the gameplay, design, and retro vibe.

We also gave a shoutout to Matt’s latest character deep dive on Tulak Hord, one of the darkest Sith Lords in Legendshistory. Definitely check it out if you’re into ancient Sith lore.

The main topic was Part 2 of our “Most Forgettable Star Wars Characters” series, focusing on the Disney era—including movies, live-action shows, and animation. We ended the episode with fan-submitted forgettable characters and our latest round of standout Star Wars toy photography artists.

15 Forgettable Characters from Disney Star Wars

This week’s episode blasts off with wild hypotheticals and hot takes across the galaxy. We started with Ask Us Anything, tackling whether classic disaster movie tropes could actually work in the Star Wars universe (asteroid incoming, anyone?), and debated how much speeding is actually acceptable on a galactic highway. Matt then shared his glowing review of James Gunn’s new Superman, calling it one of the best takes on the Man of Steel yet—though he did raise an eyebrow at the excessive use of Krypto. Meanwhile, Young Nick delivered his rebuttal to last week’s Jurassic World Rebirth review. Spoiler: he didn’t agree with Matt’s takedown. The main event kicked off our newest series: The Most Forgettable Star Wars Characters, starting with the pre-Disney era. From background Jedi to barely-named bounty hunters, we shine a light on the characters the galaxy left behind—and maybe for good reason. We closed things out with fan responses to our Question of the Week—who do you think is truly forgettable?—and highlighted a new round of incredible Star Wars fan artists in our Top 5 spotlight.

This episode is packed with cereal debates, prehistoric disappointment, and some brutally honest Star Wars talk. We kicked things off with Ask Us Anything, where the community hit us with two very important questions: who actually gets covered by insurance in the Star Wars galaxy, and what is objectively the best way to eat cereal? Trust us, chaos ensued. Then Matt dropped his review of Jurassic World Rebirth… and let’s just say he’s not putting it in his top dino flicks anytime soon. Spoiler-free, but not rage-free. The main topic? We took a hard look at 15 of George Lucas’ biggest missteps with the Star Wars franchise—from questionable edits in the Special Editions to the handling of beloved characters and missed opportunities in the Prequels. Whether you agree or want to defend the Maker, this one’s gonna spark some discussion. We closed out with fan-submitted answers to our Question of the Week—what do you think George got wrong?—and spotlighted a fresh group of amazing Star Wars fan artists in this week’s Top 5.

This week’s show hits hard with blasters, bots, and Boba recasts. We kicked things off with an Ask Us Anything question that really got us thinking: If Temuera Morrison couldn’t return, who would we cast as Boba Fett in a gritty, John Wick–style Star Wars movie? Our answers might surprise you (and might terrify some of you, too). Next, we dropped into review mode with spoiler-free takes on M3GAN 2.0—yes, the killer AI doll is back—and F1: The Movie, which had more speed than story, but still delivered some cinematic horsepower. Then it was time for the main event: Tier Ranking 37 Star Wars Trooper Variants from the Mandoverse, Sequel Trilogy, and Legends. We debated the deadliest, coolest, and weirdest ground units in the galaxy—from Sith Troopers and Dark Troopers to obscure Legends-era commandos. We wrapped up with fan answers to our Question of the Week—which troopers do you love from these later eras?—and featured a fresh batch of five standout Star Wars fan artists that deserve a follow.

This week’s episode takes a nostalgic trip through Star Wars history—and some hilarious misconceptions. We opened with Ask Us Anything, where a fan asked what we originally thought “the Clone Wars” were back when we first heard Obi-Wan mention them in A New Hope. Let’s just say… our imaginations went in some wild directions before the Prequels set the record straight. Next up: a spoiler-free review of 28 Years Later. Is it a worthy follow-up to 28 Days and 28 Weeks Later, or did the franchise stumble? We break it all down. Then it was time for the main event: our Tier List ranking of 40 Star Wars trooper variants from the Prequel and Original Trilogy eras. Clone troopers, stormtroopers, scout troopers, and everything in between—we debated them all, from S-tier elite to “how did they even make it through training?” We wrapped up with Question of the Week responses from the community and spotlighted five incredible Star Wars fan artists whose work deserves your attention.

Then we jumped into our double feature review segment, starting with early thoughts on the How to Train Your Dragonlive-action remake, followed by a look at Mike Flanagan’s new film The Life of Chuck—a Stephen King adaptation that caught us off guard.

This week’s show is a hyperspace jump through fandom chaos—and we loved every second of it. We kicked things off with Ask Us Anything, where listeners hit us with questions about our earliest childhood memories. Things got real nostalgic, real fast. Then we took a sharp turn into movie talk with quick-fire reviews of Ballerina (yep, the John Wick spinoff), the wild Dangerous Animals movie, and the latest buzz surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2. Games, movies, and mayhem—check, check, check. But the real heart of this episode? Our Star Wars Starship Tier List.
