Summary

In honor of The Mandalorian and Grogu hitting theaters, we're going back to the beginning of the two characters at the center of this corner of Star Wars by rebroadcasting our first review of the show. Originally recorded right after the show's debut in November 2019, this 90-minute deep dive covers more than just the episode; it's a window into the fandom and our own expectations for the adventure that was about to roll out in front of us all. Look at The Mandalorian on the 868th episode of ForceCenter.


From the minds of Ken Napzok (comedian, host of The Blathering), Joseph Scrimshaw (comedian, writer, director of Dead Media), and Jennifer Landa (actress, YouTuber, crafter, contributor on StarWars.com) comes the ForceCenter Podcast Feed. Here you will find a series of shows exploring, discussing, and celebrating everything about Star Wars. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts.
