The finale of Star Wars: Rebels is here and we're here to talk about it. Spoilers ahead! First, Caitlin gives her 30 second recap on this epic finale (A Fool's Hope, Family Reunion, & Farewell). Then, they each give 2 highs and 1 low about the episodes overall. Next, they discuss the story elements of Rebels: what is the state of the Rebellion? How did we feel about the ending? Could we have predicted it would come to this point? What makes a story especially "Filoni" and how do we feel about that? In the character section, we go through each character. We answer a listener email addressing some concerns about women representation in the finale -- and we give our thanks to the creators of the show, as well as the fans.

It's REAL! We watched the Super Bowl spot and the official teaser of Solo: A Star Wars Story and have our reactions and thoughts! What do we think about Alden Ehrenreich as Han? Emilia Clarke as Qi'ra? We give our thoughts on the visual language, time period, and potential story elements. Inevitably, we ask: What does this story mean for the future of "anthology" films in Star Wars? Is Star Wars abandoning the different-genre exploration that was promised years ago? This, and of course, what we think of it all, on this special one-take episode of Skytalkers!
