We recently had the pleasure of attending FanExpo Boston. Man did we have a good time! This week we breakdown our pros and our cons of the con.... Did you see what we did there? From Celeb meet and greets, vendors, all the way cosplay wea have a lot to talk about so sit back relax and enjoy the sultry sounds of our voices as we recount our journey.

Think of this podcast like Cher and cockroaches: it’s going to live forever. And until forever arrives, we’ve whipped up whatever this nonsense is for your listening pleasure!

In Episode 53, hosts Alyce and Laura are diving* into whatever Star Wars news they can scrounge up while relying on YOU to help us pass the time! Thank you to everyone who sent in prompts, questions and trivia during these slow news weeks! 

• Katee Sackoff reveals some behind the scenes details to Kristian Harloff about her time filming The Mandalorian
• Laura is putting on her tinfoil hat to speculate about new rumors regarding the live-action Ahsoka Tano series and the rumored animated Star Wars Rebels sequel series (via Kessel Run Transmissions) 
• Alyce is LOVING The High Republic, you guys. She shares some non-spoilery thoughts about Claudia Gray’s upcoming High Republic novel, Star Wars: Into the Dark.
• Thank you to everyone who sent in questions on twitter and email during these slower news weeks! Which characters would we want in our squadron, Mandalorian predictions, Jedi as cocktails, what the hell is Spatchka, Star Wars reality shows and more!
• Thank you also to our amazing trivia writers this week: Larry, Davor from A Larger View of the Force and Eli from Star Wars: In a Galaxy!
• We’re throwing one question back to you, Legends fans! If you could tie in any stories from the old EU/Legends material set between the Original Trilogy/The Mandalorian and The Force Awakens, what story would you bring into the canon? Shoot us an email or DM and we’ll read your answers on the show!

We’re not saying you HAVE to familiarize yourself with Molly Shannon’s Sally O’Malley character from Saturday Night live for this episode but…. it wouldn’t hurt.

In Episode 50, hosts Alyce and Laura are catching up* on Chapters 14 and 15 of The Mandalorian and all the news that came out of the Disney Investor Day on December 10, 2020. 

• Patty Jenkins is going Rogue in Christmas 2023 and WE ARE READY
• Taika Waititi really said “Star Wars but make it The Flintstones”
• Kenobi filming in a Newer England? Either way, thah fahce is strong with Kenobi and it’s gonna be wicked ah-some
• A Mandalorian crossover event is coming but in what format? Who’s to say.
• Alyce has a theory about the upcoming Lando series and… carebears?
• “Andor what? You haven’t given me any options.”
• Will the Leslye Headland series be Kill Bill in Star Wars? Don’t know, but if it is, we’re on board.
• HEY MA! THE BAD BATCH! WE WANT IT NOW! THE BAD BATCH! What is she doing? I never know what she’s doing back there.
• RECAP ON TAP: The Mandalorian. In Season 2, Episodes 6 and 7! Crazy how Boba Fett didn’t show up again... and how he definitely wasn’t super badass cool in these two episodes… oh, wait… To avoid spoilers for Chapters 14 and 15, skip 47:50 - 1:16:15.
• RECAP ON TAP: Books. Alyce shares some non-spoilery, initial thoughts on Charles Soule’s debut novel, Light of the Jedi. To avoid all discussion on The High Republic for now, skip 1:16:20 - 1:20:30! Plus, Laura shares some more highlights from From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back.
• Listener emails and well wishes from friends to celebrate our 50th episode! A super fun, Force Toast-specific version of Who Said It from our friend Aris. A surprise message by way of our friend Davor, host of the A Larger View of the Force
