Were Disney Star Wars Movies Profitable? The Hunt for Ben Solo | Preparing for Episode #400

Bright Suns! In this episode, we dive deep into the financials of the Disney-era films, discussing the Forbes report on the box office profits for The Force Awakens, Rogue One, The Last Jedi, Solo, and The Rise of Skywalker. Prepare for some surprising numbers and a classic tangent comparing those returns to the Prequel-era movies!

We're also talking about the internet buzz surrounding the shelved Ben Solo movie, The Hunt for Ben Solo. Add that to the list of RIP Star Wars... Hear our take on Adam Driver's recent comments, why Disney turned down the script, and the eternal question: should dead characters stay dead?

Plus, we catch you up about Twin Sun Film Foundation (the minds behind the Bucket Heads fan series) to discuss their new platform, twinsunfilm.org, and their exciting slate of upcoming fan films for the next few years, including The Void, Gonk, and Nightfall! Finally, get all the details on how YOU can get involved in our huge 400th episode: a Star Wars Fantasy Draft Game Show Night! Darian, our gamemaker and co-host for Episode #400 explains the rules, the character categories (Pilot, Force User, Droid and Alien), the ultimate objective (breaking into Palpatine's Vault on Pillio), and how your votes can decide the winning team! Thanks for coming along for the ride. Leave us a comment or a 5-star review, it always helps. Subscribe on YouTube, and we'll see you for Episode 400!
