Thanks for listening these past two years, Scoundrels! We're excited for everything in store for year three.
Recent Star Wars News
At the time of recording, it had been a lighter than normal news schedule. However, there are some minor Solo: A Star Wars Story updates. In addition, there is the announcement of the D23 Expo for 2019. Also, Darth Taxus shares some news about Galactic Empire's upcoming album.

The Millennium Falcon
It might be the most recognizable and beloved ship in all of science fiction and fantasy, and this month we are talking about it on our Hyperthetical. That's right, the focus this week on the Road to Solo is the Millennium Falcon. Even though might have called it "garbage" in The Force Awakens, even she came to love it by The Last Jedi. What is the appeal of this ship? Dennis, Jay, and Darth Taxus discuss what draws fans to this ship and tell some of their favorite Falcon related stories.
