The news drought is over! This week alone saw major developments for "The Mandalorian", "The Rise of Skywalker", "Star Wars: Resistance", Battlefront II, and the announcement of a new Obi-Wan Kenobi series coming to Disney+ starring Ewan McGregor! With so much to unpack, we take this episode to react and break down all the juicy news.

* Note: This was recorded on Wednesday, August 21 - so, just prior to all the really good stuff going public during the D23 Expo this weekend. Of course. We cover it in rumor form instead.
