Episode 5 - Olga Leia, Thrawn, and Vader! Oh, My!

In this galactic-scale episode of Star Wars: TIES, Landon Long joins Jameson’s starship crew in a discussion of Landon’s Star Wars beginning. Afterwards, they discuss recent Star Wars pick-ups/happenings, and a now out-of-date Rebel Rumors about Star Wars Celebration in Orlando. They also offer a birthday wish for Lando Calrissian actor, Billy Dee Williams, and a discussion of some toys like the Power of the Force Princess Leia figure. After these introductions, Landon and Jameson enter the Jedi Archives to discuss the new Marvel Star Wars Issue # 3 and the 2015-2016 Darth Vader Issue # 1. These two scruffy nerf hosers discuss all of this and more over a tall, ice-cold glass of whole Bantha blue milk!
