Dan & Kenton watch the Episode IX panel live from Celebration in Chicago! No, the Nerds aren't in Chicago. They're in Winnipeg, watching the livestream from Chicago.

Only 8 months to go! Join the Star Wa...

The Nerds talk about all the Star Wars stuff coming out in 2019, and then travel back 35 years or so to talk about the 1st Star Wars stuff to come out after the original trilogy.

We've become used to watching Star Wars films at Christmastime, but because there's no theatrical release from Lucasfilm this December, the Nerds decided to watch the film that SHOULD have been released this month, Solo.

Dan & Kenton finish watching the controversial eighth episode in the Star Wars saga. Will Finn and Rose hack Snoke's ship? Will Rey get the Porgs to Krait in time to save the Resistance? Listen to find out!

Kenton & Dan finally find the time to watch the most loved (sarcasm) film in the Star Wars franchise. Well, time to watch half of it at least.

Star Wars movies used to come out every three years, with a 16-year gap between the 1st three trilogies. Now, we've had four movies in less than three years. Is there such a thing as too much Star Wars? The Nerds discuss in detail.

Dan & Kenton discuss the recent casting news for Episode 9 and whether or not there are too many big Hollywood stars in Star Wars now. They also preview the new animated series Star Wars: Resistance and try to determine how old is too old for Star Wars.
