Something a little different this week! In celebration of Star Wars Day, and "Mandalorian And Grogu" arriving 22 May, we are finally getting around to our long since spoken about Star Wars specials. We always made the joke that if left alone, Graeme and Cole would just talk about Star Wars. So that is exactly what happened! May the fourth be with the sequel trilogy, because in Part 3, it might need it. Graeme and Cole take a controversial stance in their final episode discussing the Star Wars saga. The sequel trilogy is as divisive as the prequels, but Cole and Graeme take a moment to show it the love it deserves.
