I'm BURSTING with Star Wars feelings and I have to share them or I'm going to EXPLODE like that fat guy from the Monty Python skit. I start the episode with a non-spoilery review, (spoiler: IT'S A GREAT SHOW!) and discuss ANOTHER change made to the Original Trilogy Han/Greedo scene that just appeared on the Disney+ version. Then, I talk about the episode in detail and the big cliffhanger twist that has left me a wreck. Don't worry I do give a warning before any of that though! Buckle up my friends because this Mandalorian can bring us in warm or bring us in cold and I'm coming in red hot!

It is my most sincerest wish that if Shawn's family finds this little show, that they may be able to draw some comfort from how their loved one affected his friends and one complete stranger.Today we remember one of the best of us.His light will burn forever in our hearts. Tissues and hugs are recommended for this one. Also super special thanks to Chris Honeywell for the episode art!
