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

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!

Mild spoilers continue in my discussion of E.K. Johnston's Star Wars: Queen's Shadow. We know from Attack of the Clones and the Clone Wars cartoon series that Nute Gunray holds a grudge against Padme Amidala. Johnston's novel fills in more of that backstory, and how it affects Padme's first year in the Senate. Plus, the fate of Captain Panaka, and a Battlefront II tie-in... Punch it!
