They discuss recent Star Wars pick-ups/happenings, and a now out-of-date Rebel Rumors about the Vanity Fair “Last Jedi” issue, sales from Comixology, new Marvel comic releases, and the Forces of Destiny cartoon. They also offer a birthday wish for Star Wars itself in addition to a discussion of some POP figures, the POTF “Shadows of the Empire” figures, and the new 40th anniversary figures. Afterwards, Landon and Jameson enter the Mos Eisley Drive-In to discuss the Last Jedi teaser trailer and the original trailer for Star Wars. They conclude with a visit to the Jedi Archives where theyc over Poe Dameron Issue # 1.
