First, some introductions are in order. Then a nice “getting to know you” question where we learn that a concerning percentage of our listeners would choose to have Force lightning if it were possible. Huh.

Then we head on over to the news!

NEWS [22:20]

We talk about the only news that matters this week, the fact that there will be a Lego Star Wars Holiday Special on Disney+ this November. Wizard!

And in case you feel like walking down a cringe-inducing memory lane, here’s our Holiday Special commentary from last year:

BB-8 undercover:

Kuat:

Kuat forced labor camp:

Rey’s black outfit and double-bladed lightsaber:

We had a technical problem this week, and I didn’t realize we had it until I went to edit the recording. So the sound quality on this episode is not up to par. Sorry about that.

We start the show with a pretty frank discussion about the killing of George Floyd, racism, protest, property damage, and calls for justice. As a white parent, it’s my duty to have these conversations with my kids.

This is not a parental warning, it’s a parental plea: White parents, talk with your kids about racism! Recognize how you benefit from systemic racism. Continue to have hard, uncomfortable conversations with your kids about racism. We all need to do better and we all have ample room for growth.

To our black listeners and all black fans, we see you. Your life matters. If you think we can do better in any way, please let us know.
