For our annual May the 4th special, James “the Mandalorian” joins special guest Darth Bryan live in-studio and lets a Star Wars Chance Cube inject random challenges into the conversation.

It kicks off with a 60-second Jar Jar Binks defense, then spirals into droids, sequel-trilogy hot takes, Thrawn/Nightsisters, and a run of “voice chaos” bits (including Vader at the grocery store).
