About this listen
The Star Wars landscape just shifted in a massive way. In this episode, Glen and Jason break down the bombshell news of Kathleen Kennedy’s departure from Lucasfilm and what the new leadership era under Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan means for the future of the franchise. We also ask the question, who’s really in charge of the Star Wars franchise?
We also head to Batuu to discuss the shocking "timeline unlock" at Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge, where the Original Trilogy is finally making its grand return.
Some episode highlights include:
Kathleen Kennedy’s Departure: We analyze her 14-year legacy—the highs, the lows, and the project insights she shared on her way out. What does her exit mean for the immediate future of Star Wars cinema?
The Dave Filoni Era: With Filoni taking the creative reins, we discuss why certain projects are on hold and how much control Disney is maintaining over the "Mandoverse."
Galaxy’s Edge Timeline Shift: Huge news for park fans! Disneyland is officially bringing back Original Trilogy characters. We discuss seeing Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker in Black Spire Outpost and what this means for immersion.
Toys, Bingo & Rogue Fun: We close out the show with the latest Star Wars toy reveals, our official 2026 Star Wars Bingo Card check-in, and updates on the Rogue Fun event!
