Summary

We discuss the future of Star Wars and how the franchise will need to attract general audiences without the nostalgia and draw of the old legacy characters. That and more, including our segment Will of the Force where we answer questions like, will the next Star Wars movie arrive on time in May of 2026 if the strikes last beyond 2023? Will Mando and Grogu appear in Skeleton Crew? The Resistance base is open to all, so please spread the word about our Star Wars podcast and join us!
