This week’s show is basically just two big segments covering The Mandalorian chapter two and Jedi: Fallen Order. We start the show by discussing favorite moments from The Mandalorian as well as some potential symbolism in the episode and the cruelty of the post-Empire galaxy. The second half of the show features our early experiences playing Jedi: Fallen Order and a discussion of its influences and gameplay systems.
Ryan and John discuss upcoming Star Wars games detailed at E3 this week (Jedi: Fallen Order and Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga) as well Limited Run Games’s upcoming rereleases of classic Star Wars games and Arcade1up’s just-announced Atari Star Wars cabinet.
We start this week’s episode out by sharing our appreciation for Topher Grace and Jeff Yorke’s Star Wars: Alwaysbefore moving onto breaking down last week’s Galaxy’s Edge impressions and updates (via Anthony Breznican and EW). We wrap up this (long) show by discussing the recent panels and guests announced for Star Wars Celebration Chicago.
Also, John takes a weird heel turn during our discussion of Galaxy’s Edge selling generic Jedi robes. Sorry about that.
Don’t forget that the audio podcast features chapter markers if you want to skip to a specific section and as always, we welcome feedback at blockaderunnerpodcast@gmail.com or on Twitter at @blockaderun.
