Episode #147 - Lego Star Wars Holiday Special & The Mandalorian Chapter 12: The Siege

In this episode, Rachael and Kirsty discuss the following news: - Alan Dean Foster being denied royalties by Disney - Daisy Ridley comments on Rey’s ending - John Boyega speaks out about his Star Wars experience/the possibility of his return We then segue into a discussion of the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special, which (with some reservations) we found rather delightful. Listen along as we take animated Lego minifigures far too seriously, wrestle with complicated TROS-related feelings and appreciate Palpatine's comically evil machinations. We round off the episode with our discussion of The Mandalorian Chapter 12: The Siege. We share our highlights (baby Yoda goes to school!) while also getting serious about our hopes and fears for the future direction of the show. Do you think it's straying too far from a winning formula, or are you enjoying the increasing links to the grander Star Wars mythology? Listen to our discussion, and let us know what you think. Many thanks to Christy Carew for the Scavenger's Hoard theme, and Nemling for our artwork.
