We're back for one more day of highlights from Star Wars Celebration, including the Star Wars Visions Volume 3 panel and a surprisingly moving Sidekicks of Star Wars session! I came here so you don't have to... but you need to listen!

We're back live with news on Andor Season 2, Ahsoka Season 2, and a recap of the whole experience so far. There's only one way out... tuning in!

Live on location from Tokyo Japan... here's everything we experienced on Day One of Star Wars Celebration! Lots of surprise announcements today... be sure to tune in! But apologies in advance... I'm half asleep recording this, so it's a little short(er), a little windy, and a little incoherent.

It's Star Wars party time at Disneyland, and I'm here to tell you all about it! Join me as we hit Star Tours, Hyperspace Mountain, and of course Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Plus... learn how to mix your very own Oga's Cantina cocktail! Join the Short for a Stormtrooper community! Discord: https://discord.gg/a89TD3XdFX Email: SFASpod@gmail.com

Hey Shorttroopers, don't freak out when my voice is garbled at the beginning of this. I'm doing a test run of my portable podcasting system that I'm bringing to Tokyo! Meanwhile, keep listening and hear my woes scheduling the premium panels. It's a bit of a rant, but you'll enjoy it!

A new trailer for season 2 of Andor just dropped... let's chat about it! Join esteemed Learning Geek Dana Koch as he interviews Bob about the new season.

We're getting ready for Star Wars Celebration Japan... what panels would you like us to attend? Let us know by joining our BRAND NEW Short For a Stormtrooper community! Discord: https://discord.gg/a89TD3XdFX Email: SFASpod@gmail.com

Join us today as Peter Gerard shares his strategy for Andor Season 2 prep, and we dive into the new book "Mask of Fear" (without spoilers, of course!)

WE HAD MORE THOUGHTS! So here's a bonus episode to REALLY wrap up our Andor Season 1 rewatch.

We are onto the grand climax of Andor Season 1! Join Bob, Ben, and Phil to dive into both the story and the filmmaking sides of this epic conclusion!

This week we DON'T wrap up our Andor Season 1 rewatch... because there's a new trailer for Season 2, and we need to react! Find out everything Bob loved about the new trailer, and learn about the innovative release schedule for this season of Star Wars' best show.

Ben and Phil are back to recap Andor season 1, episodes 8-10. Why is this Bob's favorite Star Wars movie since the LAST three episodes of Andor? Do Ben and Phil think he's  crazy, or are they on board? Tune in to find out!

We wrap up our conversation on Skeleton Crew with retired school teacher Julie Curry, then Bob gives some closing thoughts on Skeleton Crew. Spoiler: We liked it!

We're back with Bob's big sister Julie to see what a retired school teacher thought about the kids of Skeleton Crew. Were they authentic to their age? How did we see them grow? All that and more on this episode!

In the inaugural episode of the newly-rechristened "Short For A Stormtrooper," Bob chats with his big sister Julie Curry about Skeleton Crew. Join us and hear what a retired school teacher with decades in the classroom thinks about this kid-centered series! SFAS Theme Song written by Bob Gerard, arranged and performed by Suno.com

Let's talk about the Heist arc (or the Jailbreak arc? No, the Heist arc!) with Ben and Phil. And stay tuned at the end for a very important announcement! And a sneak preview!

The end-of-year break is over, and we're back with Dan Zehr from Coffee with Kenobi! This time, we are talking about our hope IN the Star Wars franchise. Does the future look bright, or are dark times ahead? 

Today we dive back into "Andor," one of the most critically acclaimed Star Wars projects ever. Will Phil agree on his first watch? What will Ben think his second time through? Tune in and find out!

We're back with Coffee With Kenobi's Dan Zehr to talk about hope. We could all use a little more hope, so what does the saga really have to say about it? Join Bob and Dan as they dive into the idea of hope, and also talk more about Chicago and LA sports than you would have thought. Also, for the record... there aren't a lot of cleaning-related words that start with H!

Ben and Phil are back again, this time exploring the unfairly maligned Solo: A Star Wars Story. Did it deserve to bomb, or is it a victim of FORCES beyond its control? Let's dive in!
