DeSanto (Transformers: War for Cybertron) joins us In The Cantina with an ANDOR recap, a look ahead to AHSOKA, and his predictions for season three of THE MANDALORIAN.

We analyze a secretly released trailer for THE MANDALORIAN season 3 featuring alternate footage and a surprising reveal.

We’ve got interview audio highlights featuring Moff Gideon Giancarlo Esposito, who’s pumped for the new season of Mando, and Cassian himself, Diego Luna is hard at work on ANDOR season 2. With profits down, Hasbro is cutting corners. How will this affect their STAR WARS brand? RFR listeners get musical with BAD BATCH-inspired Neil Diamond song parodies. THAT 90’s SHOW is here and, as expected, there are plenty of STAR WARS references. We spotlight them all on “Star Wars In Pop Culture”.

I remember the first time I heard Ahsoka, in 2008, my thought was, oh, Disney has come to Star Wars and lo and behold, 4 years later, Star Wars was sold TO Disney.
I wasn’t one of the ones who made embarrassing scenes on the forums of the time but I think that how Ashley Eckstein held herself throughout those first few years HAS to be applauded. Yes, the character of Ahsoka DID change over time but I think how the fans eventually embraced the character is due, in no small way, to Ashley.
She was and still is a great ambassador for fans AND for Star Wars.
