We may be a little late to the part but Star Wars is pretty much always a hot topic of conversation. Especially as the end of 2019 brought with it the finale of The Mandalorian, the end of the Skywalker Saga in The Rise of Skywalker, and EA's first successful Star Wars game launch with Jedi: Fallen Order. We'll go over our thoughts on all three, as well as Bo's continued watchthrough of The Clone Wars. Then we look towards the future of the franchise and talk The Clone Wars season 7, The Mandalorian season 2, the future movies, and what games we'd like to see get the Star Wars coat of paint.

Welcome to the Loosely Defined podcast. Join us as we discuss movies, video games, TV, comics and more as we shoot the shit and just have fun. Press play, sit back, relax and enjoy as we define the irrelevant and loosely cover anything and everything that matters to us (and hopefully some of you)! On this first episode of our new era, we discuss a variety of topics. We give our first impressions on Pokémon Sword and Shield, talk about the launch of Google Stadia and Disney+, and also get into the current state of physical media as digital continues to thrive.
