Star Wars 7x7: A Daily Bite-Sized Dose of Star Wars Joy

It's the seventh anniversary of the release of The Last Jedi, and with a little distance from the discourse, the evidence is clear - by box office dollars, ticket sales, DVD sales, critics ratings, and audience surveys, TLJ is one of the most successful Star Wars movies of all time. And that's even when you consider the kind of storytelling corner Rian Johnson was backed into by J.J. Abrams and The Force Awakens.
 
We'll talk about those measures, the movie itself, and the moment it got caught up in that has tainted honest discussion of the movie. We'll also touch on the current United HealthCare situation, the Iraq War, the Howard Stern autobiography, Battlestar Galactica, and more. Punch it!

Revenge of the Sith Discussion on Podcast Stardust | Star Wars 7x7 Season 2 Episode 8

E.K. Johnston's novel Star Wars: Queen's Shadow hits bookshelves today, and what's especially remarkable about the book is how it deepens our understanding of the many roles played by Padme's handmaidens - and how that affects our experiences with the handmaidens in other Star Wars media, too. Punch it!

1,705: Queen's Shadow: Non-Spoiler Review

Mild spoilers in this episode of the show, where I talk about a character that makes an unexpected appearance in Star Wars: Queen's Shadow. It's particularly interesting because this character has appeared more in the last five years in Star Wars stories than in the 35 years before that. And that character's fate may not be set in stone... Punch it!

1,706: Another Queen Makes a Surprise Appearance in Queen's Shadow

Continuing a tradition here on the show, I'm analyzing the teaser trailer for The Rise of Skywalker to determine how many planets we're seeing in the newly-released footage. One of them takes up the lion's share of the footage, and I'm making my strongest case yet for what that planet is. Plus, another milestone I've hit that goes beyond 1,750 episodes, and a fun Palpatine fact I didn't share with you on yesterday's show. Punch it!
