Is the whole Jedi Order to blame for the terrible events on Brendok 16 years ago? Or does the fault fall squarely on the shoulders of any one Jedi? Probably only Kelnacca gets away clean on this one, as we discuss this and reflect on Anakin parallel's, too. Punch it! (Enjoy the show?

The big Disney D23 event takes place August 9-11. So far, there's precious little in terms of Lucasfilm/Star Wars representation there. We'll discuss what we know, and speculate about how a lone person's appearance really stands out...  Punch it! (Enjoy the show?

Did The Acolyte really fall out of the Top 10 shows? Depends on who you ask, and how you measure. I'm bringing all the receipts in our first Jedi Business episode related to The Acolyte, and the results indicate that the show's doing just fine. Punch it! (Enjoy the show?

Overall I'm enjoying The Acolyte and I'm excited for the finale. But episode 7 cemented a concern I've had since episode 3, with how the show was described for us in pre-release interviews versus how it's unfolded so far. I'm examining this in light of how Lucasfilm handled previous live-action TV seasons today...  Punch it! (Enjoy the show?

"The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire" by Dr. Chris Kempshall is not just a compelling examination of its topic. It's also an unexpectedly moving portrait of its in-universe author, Beaumont Kin, grappling with his place in galactic history. Our book review is on tap today...  Punch it!

And if that's the case, then there's even more trouble to come for the Jedi...   Punch it! (Enjoy the show?
