    Quite a bit happened this last 2 weeks, and we try to cover as much as we can, from downtown disney to downtown tattooine, we cover the full range across the galaxy!

    S2 Ep23: Obi-5 Kenobi, well, we were partially right...

    Well, our theory of a pregnant Reva was way off base, but holy cow was this an awesome episode! And with only one left, will Kenobi stick the landing or will there be issues going forward? Quit freaking out about whether canon is changing and wait till the show is ended!

    S2 Ep 22: Obi-4 Kenobi, A much shorter one because Tj was asleep for it.

    Yeah, sorry about that, that's all my fault. Not enough sleep, which combined with the fact that we recorded 3 and 4 back to back, means a half asleep TJ who looses his train of thought....a lot.

    As usual, we just talk about everything:) And also have a great discussion of the logic for Admiral Holdo's treatment of Poe Dameron in Episode 8. In the end, we were both right. Which is dumb. Oh, Scott says it's not dumb. But I do. But he doesn't. That's about how it goes:)

    Wow, while this episode was amazing, there is so much to wrap up in the Finale that we speculate whether or not there will be a sneaky 8th episode to help finish it off. Or maybe the 7th episode is just 2 hours long.
