STAR WARSY STUFF [1:10]

Jacob fills us in on hot chips.

Margaret and Henry sent us some photos of their Halloween costumes! So cool!

We’ve been watching The Mandalorian, of course. But no spoilers on this episode, so you don’t have to worry.

I finished Black Spire and ended up liking it quite a bit! And I’m 2/3 of the way through Resistance Reborn and there are things to talk about.

NEWS [11:11]

There’s a bunch of The Rise of Skywalker news and images from Entertainment Weekly this week. Check out the article here: https://ew.com/movies/2019/11/19/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker/. And see all the photos here: https://ew.com/movies/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-new-photos/.

And there’s a new poster!


The Obi Wan show was going to be a movie.

And Bob Iger talks about even more Disney+ Star Wars shows.

We also watch the new 30 second TV spot. We watched it before the full wide-screen version came out and, hoo boy, does that reveal some interesting things. Take a look at what we were missing!

JOKE [42:15]

What do you call a Mandalorian who likes small oranges?
What do you call a Mandalorian who likes to sleep?
What do you call a musical group of Mandalorians?
What do you call Chewbacca’s bandolier when it’s being worn by a Mandalorian?

Q&A COUNCIL [43:35]

Our question comes from Jacob: What Hogwarts house would Star Wars characters be in? We don’t actually answer this question this week, but we will next week! Let us know if you have any thoughts!

First we recap Chapter 1 and I talk about how the blue fishy alien from the beginning of the episode remind me of Sea Monkeys. Yeah, it’s a stretch. But for some reason that’s who he reminded me of.

Then we dive deep into Chapter 2.

Join us as we discuss (with FULL SPOILERS) the characters, themes, locations, music, and everything else from Chapter 1 of The Mandalorian, which I have lovingly dubbed, “Pew Pew Pew.”

You’ll also hear us talk about how the title of these episodes was going to be “MandiloriFANS,” but the kids and I talked about it and we all decided that “We Have Spoken” seems like a better fit. When I say that we figure this stuff out as we go along, I’m not joking!

We start the episode off with some bad news about Children of the Force guest Emma’s mom’s stage 4 breast cancer. Thankfully, there’s something you can do to help, please go to the GoFundMe page and donate to help out this family, who are basically our family. For every $20 donated, I’ll send you a 1977 Star Wars trading card of your choice (I have most of them, you’ll get your pick).

Here’s their GoFundMe page: Help our friend Erin fight Stage IV cancer

No amount is too small or too large. And please let me know if you donate.
