S3 - Episode #13: 2025 Christmas Special: What We Want Santa to Bring Us!
In this special Christmas episode, we gather around the holotable to share what we really want to find under the tree this year—Star Wars–style. From genuinely realistic gift ideas any fan might unwrap, to wildly impractical, credits-are-no-object collectibles that would make even a Hutt jealous, everyone brings a personal wish list to Santa’s workshop. It’s festive, nerdy, occasionally irresponsible, and full of the kind of Star Wars joy that reminds us why we love this galaxy in the first place. Grab some blue milk, get cozy, and join us for a holiday episode packed with wishful thinking.

S3 - Episode #12: Introducing a Newbie to Star Wars
How Should You Introduce a Grown Adult to Star Wars? This week, the crew tackles one of fandom’s spiciest debates: What’s the perfect viewing order for a total Star Wars newbie? Do you start them with the classics? Go full Machete Order? Chaos-drop them into Andor? We break down the pros, cons, and emotional landmines of every path—while roasting the idea that there are still humans who haven’t seen a single lightsaber ignite. Grab your blue milk and join the argument… er, discussion. New fans, old fans, and confused non-fans all welcome.

S3 - Episode #9: The Wacky & Wonderful World of Lego Star Wars
The galaxy is falling apart — literally. LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy smashes canon, scrambles characters, and dares to ask: what if Star Wars was a comedy first and a space opera second? Join us as we debate whether LEGO Star Wars is a masterpiece of playful reinvention or just a giant toy commercial we’re all happy to watch anyway. We’re talking all things LEGO Star Wars — the sets, the games, the shows, and whether Rebuild the Galaxy is secretly the best Star Wars multiverse story ever. It’s a debate as unhinged as a half-built Death Star!

In this episode we discuss and rate our "Top 10" favourite plausible and slightly crazy fan theories in the Star Wars universe. We get into theories such as the Force being a sentient being with its own agenda, Grogu being the Force's answer to Anakin, Vader's plan to transfer his spirit to Luke, the foreshadowing of Darth Vader in the prequels, Vader hiring Boba Fett because he reminded him of Captain Rex, the Jedi Council allowing Anakin to turn to the dark side, and Luke being hidden poorly on Tatooine... on purpose! There's a lot to unpack here so let's do this!
