Dennis, Jay, and Darth Taxus share their reactions and favorite moments from the trailer and Taxus shares a concern. The news concludes with a roundup of other updates in the Star Wars universe including the premier date for Solo and the announcement of the second unit director for Episode IX.

Jay, Taxus, and Dennis discuss Vanessa's performance of Hera's French accent, Hera's future, and Vanessa's favorite Hera collectibles.

Kiss, Marry, Freeze

With the blessing of Johnamarie Macias of TheWookieeGunner.com, Jay conducts a game of "Kiss, Marry, Freeze" in which Dennis, Darth Taxus, and Jay each taking turns deciding who, if forced to make the choice, they would rather commit to or have nothing to do with. The choices are interesting and the decisions are a little surprising in some cases.
