    Is Lego Star Wars the Best Star Wars Right Now? + Our New Content Schedule and an OT Character Rewrite Debate
    Oct 9 2025
    This week marked the launch of a brand-new era for the Star Wars Time Show. Matt and Nick introduced their new bi-weekly prerecorded format, where they’ll team up every other Monday to record a full show that premieres on YouTube Wednesdays at 6PM EST. On the off weeks, Matt will host solo livestreams to keep the content flowing. It’s a new rhythm for the channel, and the team is excited for what’s ahead. Once the announcements were out of the way, they jumped into Ask Us Anything with a great question: Which Original Trilogy character’s story would you change? Nick picked Lando, Matt picked Boba Fett—but you’ll have to tune in to hear why. The main event was a deep dive review of Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past. Both hosts found it stronger than season 1, praising its chaotic humor, clever writing, and unapologetically unserious tone. That sparked a debate: Is Lego Star Wars the best kind of Star Wars right now? They closed things out with fan responses to the Question of the Week and another solid batch of Top 5 Star Wars fan artists, showcasing killer work from the community. https://youtu.be/bxUzl8BUOQU Audio Only Version Show Topics: Ask Us Anything Rebuild the Galaxy Season 2 Deep Dive Is Lego Star Wars the Best Star Wars Right Now debate Question of the Week and Top 5 Fan Artists Make sure to tune in for the recorded livestream on YouTube.com/StarWarsTimeShow, or hit up StarWarsTime.net to get the podcast version on the platform of your choosing.

    Sep 25 2025
    This week’s episode opened with Matt fielding Ask Me Anything questions solo, including a wild one: Would he become a hybrid like Wendy from Alien: Earth? Matt’s answer was a clear yes. Who wouldn’t want to be a walking supercomputer with enhanced strength? He then moved into a review of the HIM movie. While the premise had promise, Matt didn’t think it fully lived up to its potential—or its title. The main feature was a deep dive into the first teaser trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu. Matt explored possible plot threads, predicting that the Hutt Cartel—possibly even the Twins—could be the film’s main antagonists. Nick joined midway through to finish out the trailer breakdown and add his own speculation. From there, they jumped into a full review of the Alien: Earth finale. Nick enjoyed it overall, but Matt felt it left too many storylines hanging without a clear path to resolution unless a second season is confirmed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tD5HwvBg4k Audio Only Version Show Topics: AMA HIM Review Mando and Grogu Trailer Breakdown Aline:Earth Finale Review Which faction is more ruthless: Weyland-Yutani or The Galactic Empire Question of the Week and Top 5 Fan Artists Make sure to tune in for the recorded livestream on YouTube.com/StarWarsTimeShow, or hit up StarWarsTime.net to get the podcast version on the platform of your choosing.

    Sep 18 2025
    This week’s episode kicked off with Matt running solo once again, fielding a stack of Ask Me Anything questions. One fan asked what franchise would make for the ultimate Star Wars crossover, and let’s just say Matt’s pick was truly out of this world. Matt also shared a quick review of the new The Long Walk adaptation, offering solid praise for the film’s tone and pacing. He then revealed a new set photo from Shawn Levy’s Starfighter movie, which sparked a lively discussion between Matt and Nick about the project’s vibe. Both agreed—it looked like something straight out of Waterworld. The main event was a glowing review of Alien Earth Episode 7, where they discussed the fate of key characters like Kirsh, Wendy and her Xeno drone, Boy Genius, and Morrow. The tension is ramping up heading into the final stretch. Then came this week’s crossover chaos: Could a Jedi survive a chestburster attack? It was ridiculous, nerdy, and absolutely worth the discussion. The show wrapped with fan responses to the Jedi chestburster debate and the latest Top 5 Star Wars fan art picks, featuring another round of outstanding community submissions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq1fEPBFh10 Audio Only Version Show Topics: AMA The Long Walk Review New Starfighter Set Pic Alien: Earth Episode 7 Deep Dive Jedi vs. Chestburster Debate Question of the Week Responses and Top 5 Fan Artists Don't forget to tune into the Star Wars Time Show on a weekly basis via our podcast platforms or via YouTube if you prefer the livestream angle.

    Alien Earth “The Fly” Review, Lucasfilm Going Weird, and Vong vs Xeno Debate
    Sep 11 2025
    This week’s show opened with Matt solo on the mic, handling Ask Me Anything duties with style. Fans hit him with some fun ones—like sharing his best dad jokes and giving his take on Aaron Rodgers’ first game as a Pittsburgh Steeler. Naturally, it got weird. Matt also discussed breaking news from the galaxy. Thanks to Sigourney Weaver, it’s now confirmed that Pedro Pascal will appear in The Mandalorian & Grogu movie. He also reacted to Tony Gilroy’s comments about Lucasfilm “letting its freak flag fly” on upcoming projects, which could mean some wild Star Wars stories are on the way. Nick then joined the show to break down Episode 6 of Alien Earth, “The Fly.” Both hosts enjoyed the episode, especially its tension and visuals, but they still have questions about where the story is headed before the finale. For this week’s crossover segment, they debated the outcome of a wild galactic matchup: Yuuzhan Vong vs a Xenomorph hive. Who wins, and how ugly does it get? The show closed with fan responses to the Question of the Week and the newest Top 5 Star Wars fan artist showcase, highlighting another amazing round of toy photography and digital art. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5j-rYe6hwU Audio Only Version Show Topics: AMA Pedro in Mando Movie Tony Thinks Lucasfilm is getting Creative Alien: Earth Episode 6 Breakdown Question of the Week and Top 5 Fan Art Don't forget to tune into the Star Wars Time Show on a weekly basis via our podcast platforms or via YouTube if you prefer the livestream angle.

    Sep 4 2025
    This week’s episode opened with Matt holding things down solo, answering Ask Me Anything questions from the community. One standout: Would he still want to explore space after watching Alien: Earth? His answer revealed both caution and curiosity—and maybe a bit of trauma. Matt also shared a quick review of Caught Stealing, calling it a solid, gritty crime drama worth checking out. Then came the big reveal: brand-new stills from The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, followed by discussion of the now-confirmed Starfighter film from Shawn Levy. The cast is official, and the hype is real. Nick joined in to break down Episode 5 of Alien Earth, an episode they both loved for its clear homages to Ridley Scott’s original Alien and how it finally tied together some early premiere mysteries. Then came a galactic-scale debate: Could stormtroopers contain a Xenomorph outbreak on the Death Star? Let’s just say opinions were split and chaos ensued. The episode wrapped with fan answers to the Question of the Week and the latest Top 5 Star Wars fan artist spotlights, featuring more incredible toy photography and digital art from the community. https://youtube.com/live/8nZMv3EDQ7w?feature=share Audio Only Version Show Topics: AMA Caught Stealing Review Mando and Grogu Stills Starfighter in Production and Cast Revealed Alien: Earth Episode 5 Breakdown https://starwarstime.net/top-5-star-wars-artists-of-the-week-8-25-9-1-25/ Don't forget to tune into the Star Wars Time Show on a weekly basis via our podcast platforms or via YouTube if you prefer the livestream angle.

    Chewbacca vs Boba vs Xenomorph? Plus Alien Earth Episode 4 Deep Dive
    Aug 28 2025
    This week’s episode kicked off with Matt flying solo, tackling some Ask Me Anything questions from the community. One of the highlights? A classic “what if” scenario—who would survive longer against a Xenomorph on a ship, Chewbacca or Boba Fett? Matt weighed in, and the logic may surprise you. Nick jumped in shortly after and the duo broke down Episode 4 of Alien Earth. The focus this time was on Wendy’s strange connection to the Xenomorphs, including what might be some kind of communication or psychic link. There’s a lot to unpack with her character and the implications are huge. The crossover segment took things further by asking: What would the Galactic Empire do if they discovered a hybrid like Wendy? Would they weaponize her, study her, or destroy her? The theories got wild. As always, the episode closed with fan responses to the crossover prompt and a new batch of Top 5 Star Wars fan art features, showcasing some truly awesome work from the community. Whether you’re here for lore, speculation, or chaos, this episode had a bit of everything.

    Aug 21 2025
    This week’s episode was a solo run as Nick took some much-needed vacation time, but Matt kept the show rolling. He kicked things off with Ask Me Anything, answering questions from the community—including one wild fan theory about how Ahsoka might eventually die. Speculation was intense, and the possibilities were darker than you’d think. Matt followed that up with a quick review of Nobody 2, which he found surprisingly fun. Sure, Bob Odenkirk as a John Wick–style assassin still feels a little absurd, but that’s half the charm. Then it was time to break down Episode 3 of Alien: Earth. Matt dug into the episode’s pacing, standout moments, and intriguing fan theories—like Wendy’s possible connection to the Xenomorphs and how Kirsh is starting to feel more and more like David from Prometheus. Next came a Star Wars crossover discussion: What would Palpatine do if he found a Xenomorph hive? Matt explored the dark potential of that twisted combination and read some amazing fan responses to the same question. The show wrapped up with the latest Top 5 Star Wars fan artists, featuring some incredible toy photography that you won’t want to miss. https://youtube.com/live/El2Dg7v1NlI?feature=share Audio Only Version Show Topics: AMA Nobody 2 Review Alien: Earth Episode 3 Deep Dive What would Palpatine do with a Xenomorph horde?

    Alien Earth Breakdown, Star Wars vs Xenomorphs, and Who Should Direct a Star Wars Movie
    Aug 14 2025
    This week’s episode delivered big ideas, horror vibes, and a creature crossover that no one asked for—but everyone needed. We kicked things off with Ask Us Anything, featuring a standout question: who would we want to direct a Star Wars movie, and during what timeline? Matt and Nick had very different picks with totally opposite directing styles, which led to a great debate. Matt then reviewed the new horror film Weapons from Zack Cregger. He found it to be well-made and tense, though maybe a bit overhyped compared to the buzz from fans and critics. Next came our deep dive into the first two episodes of Alien Earth (Neverland and Mr. October). We were impressed with the tone, storytelling, and pacing. However, we also called out a few continuity issues when compared to Prometheusand Alien: Covenant. Things got chaotic when we entered crossover territory, pairing Star Wars creatures like the Rancor and Acklay against Xenomorphs. Could Force users tame them? Which galaxy has deadlier predators? We wrapped with fan creature matchups and the latest Top 5 Star Wars fan art picks of the week. This one had it all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfYtFnpVTuU Audio Only Version Show Topics: Ask us Anything Weapons Review Alien: Earth Premiere Review and Breakdown Star Wars Creatures Versus Aliens Debate Question of the Week Responses https://starwarstime.net/top-5-star-wars-artists-of-the-week-8-4-8-11-25/ Don't forget to tune into the Star Wars Time Show on a weekly basis via our podcast platforms or via YouTube if you prefer the livestream angle.
