STAR WARSY STUFF [0:55]

We’ve been playing quite a bit of Battlefront II.

Nick from London sent us an email, telling us about a connection he made between Steve from Stranger Things and Han.

Then I we go off on a long tangent about what is “for kids” and what that even means and how it means different things for different families.

Liam and I finished Ahsoka and started reading Servants of the Empire.

And we’re still watching through all the Star Wars movies in anticipation of The Last Jedi. We really like these movies.

Non-Star Warsy thing: We saw Coco and loved it. Go see it. Tonight. Or tomorrow.
