Summary
It's been nearly seven years since there was a new Star Wars film in theaters and Mandalorian and Grogu puts an end to that cinematic drought.
For the first 19 minutes of today's episode, Kyle discusses the issues he sees in the Star Wars universe and community. After that, Kyle shares his initial reactions to "Mandalorian and Grogu" and everything that works with the film and the stuff that didn't. The back half of the episode is full of spoilers for the movie so be sure to stop at that 19 minute mark if you haven't seen it.
Where do you think the Star Wars universe goes from here?

| 0:39.1 | Screen Saver, a film and TV podcast here on the Friends from Work Network, and I'm going to be |
| 0:45.2 | flying solo again today, partially because I've seen this movie a little bit before some of my |
| 0:50.0 | counterparts. I've told the story of my Star Wars fandom a lot on this podcast, I believe. |
| 0:56.8 | So I won't go way into it. I want to give you a brief summary of I grew up a huge fan of episode |

| 1:18.3 | I remember going and having a really good time. |
| 1:21.1 | And for all of the flaws of the prequels, which believe me, there are many, the one thing they did really well was tell the overarching story on how the |
