SPOTLIGHT SECTION 49.00 –2.01.34 – We have an epic discussion of shipping, with a particular focus on The Force Awakens fandom and how the shipping phenomenon has been perceived and treated by the wider fandom. IT CAME FROM REDDIT! 2.01.34-2.07.20 – We bite our teeth into one Redditor’s stab at a hypothetical Episode VIII teaser! QUESTIONS 2.07.20 –2.12.54 – We answer “So my question is, from your perspectives, what types of revelations or scenarios are possible concerning the massacre? And how important is it in the first place, esp concerning Kylo and Rey (as we know now that Rey was definitely not trained by Luke)?” 2.12.54-2.19.04 – We answer “What are you guys' thoughts on the early MSW rumored subplot of Leia, Poe and Laura Dern? Where Laura Dern is a surviving Republic senator or General, who has conflict with Poe during Leia's injuries. Will Dern be a "shadow archetype" of Leia or Poe? Do you think they'll be a mini-resistance civil war? Leia followers vs Dern followers? Is this too much for Episode VIII to handle?” 2.19.04-end – We answer “Hi there! Wanted you ladies to know you run my number one choice in Star Wars podcasts by a long shot. I am also a believer in Reylo however my question doubles as a theory and it pertains to your comments that Rey having bested a wounded and emotionally bent Kylo leaves an interesting arc for their next confrontation. What if Rey, who has limited experience counting on others, is spared by Kylo thus confusing her emotionally-morally, bringing it full circle=Reylo/redemption.” If you want to see what else we get up to in the world of Star Wars or submit a question for next time, you can find Rachael on Tumblr here: http://starwarsnonsense.tumblr.com/ And Kirsty on Tumblr here: http://bastila-bae.tumblr.com/ You can also find Rachael’s essays and analyses collected at her Wordpress blog here: https://journalofthestarwars.wordpress.com/ Podcast art by nemling: http://nemling.tumblr.com/ Music credit: Trail of Tears - http://www.purple-planet.com/reflective/4583971306
