Welcome in to the House of L podcast. I am Lauren Tombs. Thanks so much for being a part

of this episode. As you may know, I mean, hell, it's kind of in the name of the podcast.

I am a bit of a geek. I love my sci-fi stuff. I've been watching a lot of the Star Wars stuff,

He also liked Star Wars. No, I love Star Wars. I will say I'm not like reading every little

piece of background on it because I learned my lesson from Force Awakens and a lot of that stuff

is kind of just BS. But I am loving that they're trying to expand the universe and I don't know

that they're hitting every mark. But it's better to have some content than no content at all. So

I think we're in a pretty good spot with it. Okay, then let me start here. Let's start at the

Mandalorian. When the Mandalorian comes out, how did you feel about what you were thinking it

would be versus what it ended up being? Okay, I love Mandalorian now. I loved it from the beginning.
