Summary
We continue our deep dive into the "Star Wars" chapter of Bob Iger's book, featuring behind-the-scenes revelations about the Disney acquisition of Lucasfilm and George Lucas's desire to remain involved in the creation of the Sequel Trilogy. Was Lucas betrayed and who betrayed him? We once again spotlight excerpts from the books and piece together a timeline of events. As Triple Force Friday launches the merchandising push for THE RISE OF SKYWALKER, we consider many of the challenges STAR WARS collectors face during a time of change for the hobby. Star Wars In Pop Culture returns with a trip to STAR TOURS for THE GOLDBERGS, and Jon Favreau's THE CHEF SHOW pays a visit to Dave Filoni at Skywalker Ranch. Plus, Swank has a run-in with Ohio law enforcement. Here what happened and how Star Wars saved the day!

| 1:50.0 | Triple Force Friday, you finding anything good? You're hitting your wall marks, your targets, you lucky Canadians hitting your twice RRs. |
| 2:01.0 | My plans for Triple Force Friday. I have a very long commute. So I count three targets and two wall marks. Maybe three. |
| 2:14.0 | Depending on which way I drive to the day job. And I'm thinking I'm going to just leave a little early and hit all of those and maybe get into work. |
| 2:22.0 | I'm just a little bit on the late side. Depends on how those first couple of stops go though. I mean, if I don't find anything, stop one, stop two. I don't think I'm going to do stop three. |
| 2:33.0 | I don't think I'm going to have it in me. You know what I'll do? I'll just go to the office, boot up the computer and just buy a wise man knows his limits. |
| 2:43.0 | I'm not a glutton for punishment. Right. Right. But yeah. So happy Triple Force Friday. There's a lot of stuff that is being released. You know, leading into Triple Force Friday. I was talking to our old buddy Cleveland Chris. |
| 2:58.0 | Now Cleveland. What I love about Chris is that his enthusiasm is never ever lessened. No matter what, what happens. |
| 3:09.0 | This is a guy he gave Hasbro Paul's the benefit of the doubt and he dropped him. He's still a true believer. He's he's going out Triple Force Friday. |
| 3:18.0 | I think when I last I talked to him, he was going out at midnight to try to hit some of those 24 hour wall marks. And so he got the checklist from some of the Star Wars collector sites. |
| 3:29.0 | And I feel like they missed a few things. I see Ray and you know, Kylo and Darth Vader. But some of the things that you can also collect on your journey are clueless looks from the staff there at the wall. |
| 3:42.0 | And the targets is you say we're supposed to have some new Star Wars stuff out today. And they look at you and they're like, Star Wars. What? What's that? I don't know. Check toys. What we have. We have. Yeah. It's all out. You know, they don't know anything about new stuff coming out. You know, they want. But Chris, he is so thorough. He called his local Walmart and they said they have a whole palette of merchandise that is going to be put out for triple force. |
| 4:11.0 | But I still predict that we're going to be very, very low on on March. I think it's going to be very comparable to what we had for the last Jedi, which is just a lot of clueless looks from from the staff there at those stores. But one guy I know may very well say he won't go out on Triple Force Friday. But I know that that's not true. Because if I know him, I know curiosity is going to get the better of him. And he's going to say, well, it accomplished the words. |
| 4:40.0 | And that guy is not other than my good friend anymore is from Chicago Jimmy Matt. Hey, Jason, hey, Star Wars fans. Why wait for Triple Force Friday when you can go to Walmart on Triple Suck Tuesday and see nothing Star Wars and the whole damn store. |
