Star Wars Time

This week on the Star Wars Time Show, Matt and Young Nick break down  two stories that hit very different parts of the Star Wars fandom , but both carry real implications for the future of the franchise. First, we dive into a growing rumor circulating within the industry that  Dave Filoni could be preparing to take on a larger leadership role at Lucasfilm , potentially alongside Lynwen Brennan, wi...

In this episode, we rank the  Top 9 Star Wars releases and events guaranteed to arrive in 2026 , spanning movies, animated series, video games, comics, theme park experiences, and a major legacy moment tied directly to Geor...

As we head into the holiday break, it’s time to look back at the moments that defined Star Wars in 2025. In this solo episode of Star Wars Time Show, I rank and break down the top 10 Star Wars moments of the year — from Andor Season 2 setting a new standard for Star Wars storytelling, to major film and TV reveals, to the surprising wins that quietly won fans over. This wasn’t just a year of announ...

What would the Star Wars Prequels look like if George Lucas returned and gave them the same Special Edition treatment he applied to the Original Trilogy? In this episode, we explore the most Lucas-style updates that fit his historical editing patterns — expanded environments, enhanced VFX, improved battles, deleted-scene reintegration, creature updates, and small story refinements across  The Phan...

Anakin Skywalker at his Jedi peak vs Darth Vader in his Sith prime — who was  actually  more powerful? In this solo deep-dive, Matt breaks down Anakin’s unrealized potential, Vader’s refined dark-side mastery, and how the Chosen One’s tragedy created two entirely different versions of the same Force titan. We’ll explore: • Was Vader truly weaker, or did he become a different kind of monster? • How...

Matt and Nick break down a packed week of Star Wars updates. We talk about the reported directive that the upcoming Starfighter movie will avoid using legacy characters entirely, and what that might signal for Lucasfilm’s new direction. We also cover news that  The Mandalorian  Season 4 has been written, but there’s still no confirmation it will move forward. We then dive into comments from a  Sta...

Matt breaks down a packed week of Star Wars news — including new details about the Starfighter movie and the surprising timeline it may explore.

In this episode: • How the Starfighter movie could introduce a new timeline • What’s driving the OT...

We are aware Pete sounds a bit like C-3P0 due to an audio glitch. Apologies for the fail. Author and longtime  Star Wars  voice  Pete Fletzer  joins the  Star Wars Time Show  to talk about his new book,  Who Owns the Myth? Star Wars, Fandom, and the Soul of the Saga. We explore what makes  Star Wars  a living myth — how it became something bigger than its creators, and why fans feel such deep owne...

This week, Matt flew solo to react to the breaking news that the Hunt for Ben Solo movie has officially been canceled. He broke down what might have led to the decision, and whether the concept of a post– Rise of Skywalker Ben Solo story made sense to begin with. His take? The story might’ve worked better as a prequel , exploring Ben’s fall rather than his Force ghost era. Fan responses flooded in...

This week, Matt and Nick reunited to finish what they started—taking aim at Empire Magazine’s Top 50 Greatest Star Wars Characters of All Time . This episode covered ranks 25 through 1 , and let’s just say it was a mix of celebration, disbelief, and straight-up shade. Some picks made sense. Others… not so much. But the #1 spot? Things got very suspect. During the Ask Us Anything segment, the guys...

Empire Magazine dropped their list of the 50 Greatest Star Wars Characters of All Time —but did they get it right? In this video, we break down characters ranked #50 to #26 , and we’re not holding back. From underrated heroes to surprising omissions, we analyze who deserves a higher spot, who’s overrated, and which icons should not be on the list at all. Join us for Part 1 of our two-part series r...

This week marked the launch of a brand-new era for the Star Wars Time Show. Matt and Nick introduced their new bi-weekly prerecorded format , where they’ll team up every other Monday to record a full show that premieres on YouTube Wednesdays at 6PM EST. On the off weeks, Matt will host solo livestreams to keep the content flowing. It’s a new rhythm for the channel, and the team is excited for what...

This week’s episode opened with Matt fielding Ask Me Anything questions solo, including a wild one: Would he become a hybrid like Wendy from Alien: Earth? Matt’s answer was a clear yes. Who wouldn’t want to be a walking supercomputer with enhanced strength? He then moved into a review of the HIM movie. While the premise had promise, Matt didn’t think it fully lived up to its potential—or its title...

This week’s episode kicked off with Matt running solo once again, fielding a stack of  Ask Me Anything  questions. One fan asked what  franchise would make for the ultimate Star Wars crossover , and let’s just say Matt’s pick was truly out of this world. Matt also shared a quick review of the new  The Long Walk  adaptation, offering solid praise for the film’s tone and pac...

This week’s show opened with Matt solo on the mic, handling  Ask Me Anything  duties with style. Fans hit him with some fun ones—like sharing his best  dad jokes  and giving his take on  Aaron Rodgers’ first game as a Pittsburgh Steeler . Naturally, it got weird. Matt also discussed breaking news from the galaxy. Thanks to  Sigourney Weaver , it’s now confirmed that&n...

This week’s episode opened with Matt holding things down solo, answering  Ask Me Anything  questions from the community. One standout:  Would he still want to explore space after watching Alien: Earth?  His answer revealed both caution and curiosity—and maybe a bit of trauma. Matt also shared a quick review of  Caught Stealing , calling it a solid, gritty crime drama worth...

This week’s episode kicked off with Matt flying solo, tackling some Ask Me Anything questions from the community. One of the highlights? A classic “what if” scenario— who would survive longer against a Xenomorph on a ship, Chewbacca or Boba Fett? Matt weighed in, and the logic may surprise you. Nick jumped in shortly after and the duo broke down Episode 4 of Alien Earth . The focus this time was o...

This week’s episode was a solo run as Nick took some much-needed vacation time, but Matt kept the show rolling. He kicked things off with Ask Me Anything , answering questions from the community—including one wild fan theory about how Ahsoka might eventually die . Speculation was intense, and the possibilities were darker than you’d think. Matt followed that up with a quick review of Nobody 2 , wh...

This week’s episode delivered big ideas, horror vibes, and a creature crossover that no one asked for—but everyone needed. We kicked things off with  Ask Us Anything , featuring a standout question: who would we want to direct a  Star Wars  movie, and during what timeline? Matt and Nick had very different picks with totally opposite directing styles, which led to a great debate. Mat...

This week’s episode opens with a twist—literally. We kicked things off with Ask Us Anything , where a fan asked which non–Star Wars movie had the biggest plot twist . Let’s just say Matt and Nick had very different answers, both pulling from late ’90s cinematic curveballs that still hit hard today. Matt then reviewed the new Fantastic Four reboot and called it a worthwhile, visually solid entry. H...

This week’s episode kicks off with some great  Ask Us Anything  questions—including our favorite  Star Wars  quotes and which ones we think are completely overused. (Looking at you, “MTFBWY”) Matt then reviewed the new  2025 version of I Know What You Did Last Summer . It’s decent, but didn’t quite live up to the original. Both Matt and Nick also shared their early thoughts on the new Switch...

This week’s episode blasts off with wild hypotheticals and hot takes across the galaxy. We started with Ask Us Anything, tackling whether classic disaster movie tropes could actually work in the Star Wars universe (asteroid incoming, anyone?), and debated how much speeding is actually acceptable on a galactic highway. Matt then shared his glowing review of James Gunn’s new Superman, calling it one...

This episode is packed with cereal debates, prehistoric disappointment, and some brutally honest Star Wars talk. We kicked things off with Ask Us Anything, where the community hit us with two very important questions: who actually gets covered by insurance in the Star Wars galaxy, and what is objectively the best way to eat cereal? Trust us, chaos ensued. Then Matt dropped his review of Jurassic W...

This week’s show hits hard with blasters, bots, and Boba recasts. We kicked things off with an Ask Us Anything question that really got us thinking: If Temuera Morrison couldn’t return, who would we cast as Boba Fett in a gritty, John Wick–style Star Wars movie? Our answers might surprise you (and might terrify some of you, too). Next, we dropped into review mode with spoiler-free takes on M3GAN 2...

This week’s episode takes a nostalgic trip through Star Wars history—and some hilarious misconceptions. We opened with Ask Us Anything, where a fan asked what we originally thought “the Clone Wars” were back when we first heard Obi-Wan mention them in A New Hope. Let’s just say… our imaginations went in some wild directions before the Prequels set the record straight. Next up: a spoiler-free revie...
