Is Dillon The Acolyte? This week, the fourth member of our crew returns to share a life update, then the two gush over their Star Wars video game experience focusing on KOTOR, The Force Unleashed, and Republic Commando. You'll hear Dillon describe how he uses an emulator to play classic games today before sharing the experience of his father coming home with an Xbox/KOTOR bundle that changed Dillon's fandom experience forever. Finally, a love for all things Sam Witwer wraps up the episode before Dillon teases a potential fan-led effort to remaster 2005's Republic Commando.

This week Wade, Alex and Kevin all sat down to watch the Netflix documentary "The Toys That Made Us" S1E1: Star Wars!

Kevin and Wade finally finish what they started oh so long ago.... The Rise of Skywalker! Join them as they discuss the highs and lows of the films, general fan consensus on the end of the Skywalker Saga, and the unfortunate lack of cohesion between the Sequels (lots of promise and opportunity, poor execution at times). It's definitely an interesting discussion! AND... don't forget to turn in your BAD BATCH BINGO sheets by Tuesday at midnight!

That's right, we're finally covering the movie that temporarily broke the fandom: The Last Jedi! Listen to Alex, Wade and Kev give their heartfelt thoughts on the movie. Shocker: we didn't agree on everything!
