Bright Suns, nerds!

Hosts Alyce and Laura have to correct* literally everything they said in Episode 17, but then it’s onward and up the Spire to what’s in the news and what we’re reading! First up, some final thoughts on the D23 coverage of The Rise of Skywalker, what Coca-cola and sporks have in common, and what we learned from Entertainment Weekly’s coverage of The Mandalorian.

Galaxy's Edge: A Crash of Fate is making Alyce feel a little squirmy, but that might be because she’s old balls now. Honestly, it’s probably time that we tell her stop driving at night and put her in a home.

Anyway, no spoiler warnings this week for A Crash of Fate or Galaxy’s Edge: Black Spire. Given that neither of us had finished Black Spire at the time of recording, we won’t ruin anything for you. But if you haven’t read it, you should. And if you’re going to go to Galaxy’s Edge, you REALLY should read this book first.

Finally, this week’s listener question is brought to us by our friend Timothy (@toastedzen): How did Obi-Wan’s relationship with Anakin affect whether Obi-Wan believes Anakin/Vader is redeemable or not? This served as a sort of jumping off point that led to a What-If discussion about the notorious master and padawan.

Josh Hartnett? Shaun White? Are you listening? Alyce is desperate.
