371. Star Wars Retrospective w/ Michael R. Underwood

Jedi Knights, scary futures, and Wookies, oh my! For this special episode of the show, Shaun is joined by Michael R. Underwood for a retrospective discussion of Star Wars. Together, they look back at the Star Wars / Skywalker saga and other Star Wars property to set the stage for an examination of the journey thus far and the journey yet to come. What will Star Wars look like now that the main saga is over? What concerns do these super dorks have about the future of the franchise? Do the new announcements from Disney fill us with hope, concern, or dread? Shaun and Mike answer these questions and more!

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy the episode!
