Join host Brad Whipple (@bradwhipple) as he sits down with Shannon McCarter (@McCarterShanon) and Alex Leonis (@alexleonis) from Lipstick & Lightsabers (@Lip_Lightsabers). This week, we're digging deep beneath the surface of the sequel trilogy's plot and analyzing the themes that tie it together.

On Episode 10, we're covering the use of red in this trilogy, the role of love, the power of found family, the importance of our heroes failing and the message it sends, coming of age, and the connection between Kylo and Rey and why they will bring balance to the Force. PLUS. Resistance season 2 preview?! Tom Holland!? Also when was Kylo conceived? All that and more—a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. There may or may not be a musical number thrown in there, also...
