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!

Jon Favreau is up for doing a new Star Wars Holiday Special for Disney+. We talk about what we’d like to see. For me, it’s Billie Lourd doing an homage to Carrie Fisher’s Life Day song. And the two Lando’s meeting up in the world between worlds.
