Talking Bay 94 host Brandon Wainerdi joins us to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Shadows of the Empire!

Shadows of the Empire, the 'movie without a movie' that returned Star Wars to the public consciousness a year before the release of the Special Editions, began to be rolled out 25 years ago this month.

The multimedia blitz included an iconic N64 game, as well as a book, a comic, a toy line, a soundtrack and more – and we're exploring all of it this episode!

From our memories of 1996 to our picks for a live-action Dash Rendar,  this is a heartfelt celebration of an ambitious experiment that continues to impact the franchise today.

For more of Brandon's work, listen to Talking Bay 94!

For more on Shadows of the Empire, revisit our interview with LucasArts legend Jon Knoles and our in-depth blog post on the project's origins.

Award-winning journalist and broadcaster Clayton Sandell joins the show to discuss the first two episodes of The Bad Batch!

Known for his work on shows like Good Morning America, World News Tonight and Nightline, and for his long stint as ABC's resident Star Wars fan, Clayton joins us to answer some burning questions about the show, including: 

• Who – or what – is Omega? 
• Is Crosshair a villain or a victim? 
• How do this show's themes resonate with Dave Filoni's other Star Wars work? 
• Does it matter if everything doesn't 'count' in continuity? 
• Why do kids shows need kid characters? 
• Which character do we want to see next?
