• The Mandalorian and Grogu and the Gift That Keeps On Giving. There’s a director audio commentary now!
• Folks, we had only one BURNING question remaining about Vader’s life, and Delilah Dawson answered it for us [see episode title]. So there’s nothing else to learn, and therefore we don’t need any more Vader-centric stories K THANKS BYE

In Episode 160 hosts Alyce and Laura are* Herbert the Pervert and he is us. Not in a pervy way, just in the way of whistling through our teeth when we talk and preferring cozy robes over clothing.

• Alyce’s Movie Club Update: confusing Marvel movie cash-grab is confusing
• The new Lucas Museum in Los Angeles is open for business! The museum had its big opening night party, so let’s discuss the weird theories the media and fans have drawn from this.
• Reading between the lines: is Christopher Nolan directing a Star Wars movie starring Queen Latifah?
• The epic conclusion to the Skywalker saga 42 years in the making was not, as it turns out, the conclusion? (Knight Edge Media)
• Laura is spiraling down a Reylo conspiracy rabbit hole with this Episode X rumor
• As Star Wars fans, we’re really getting thirsty for news, aren’t we? The latest “news” on Ahsoka Season 2 is that an extremely obvious plot point is going to be a plot point. Come on, y’all.
• Suit up, ninja nerds. Sword fighting with lightsabers is just fencing - with style.
• Prop Auction! Prauction, if you will. A rare choking hazard is up for sale on October 15.
• Recap On Tap: Alyce isn’t quite finished with the second Reign of the Empire novel, Edge of the Abyss, but she shares more of her thoughts so far. There may be some mild spoilers, so if you wish to skip this review, skip 26:05 - 32:07.
• You’ve Got Mail! An email from listener Emma on Star Wars Zero Company (no spoilers). If you’re like us, and video games aren’t your thing, Emma recommended this gameplay walkthrough video on YouTube. Thanks, Emma!!!

In Episode 159, hosts Alyce and Laura and a vending machine walk* into a bar, get busted and go Wayfinding:

• A Gen Z Slang Segment may need to be an official segment on this show. We’re just learning so much!
• To smut or not to smut?
• Are you old Wayfinding or new Wayfinding, or a secret third way to use the word ‘Wayfinding’? Or, PLOT TWIST, are you Wayseeking?
• We enjoyed learning about the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art from this LA local news segment, even if we don’t get any of the local references.
• The Mando movie hit Disney+ on Sept 2, along with a companion podcast and a new LEGO special.
• Star Wars Zero Company’s got 99 problems and all of them are bugs. (Engadget via MSN)
• We weirdly love hearing about random Star Wars prop auctions, but somehow we missed this one! It’s the end of an era for Phil Tippett’s stop-motion studio, but not good-bye. (via LA Times)
• More Star Wars Celebration guests announced ahead of the April convention
• One of these days LucasFilm is gonna finally realize that Alyce is full of million dollar ideas!
• The AI bot some journalist used and didn’t proofread wants you to find the differences between 2 pictures. Hint: one is a movie poster and one looks like it was painted by a 9-year-old, so there are actually a lot of differences.
• Recap on Tap: more books! Alyce shares some initial thoughts on the 2nd novel in the Reign of the Empire trilogy
