151. This is the Way Podcast Star Wars News Update - February 2024
February 29, 2024 15:18 - 28 minutes - 31 MBThis is the Way Podcast reached the 150 episode mark with the "Star Wars Podcast Day" episode earlier in February, but our news update for the month ticks in just before the close of the month on Leap Day. Carl, Cara, Cassian...video games coming and video games cancelled...hot collectibles and not so hot off the presses park news. February is a short month, but somehow we spent more than three and one half minutes more on the news this month than in January. The Bad Batch third and final ...
150. This is the Way We Observe Star Wars Podcast Day 2024
February 07, 2024 15:39 - 50 minutes - 53 MBIt's that time once again! #StarWarsPodcastDay2024 and This is the Way Podcast is observing it with a background episode on the host. This episode was commissioned for Star Wars Podcast Day 2024 which this year is being observed by a record number of podcasts (more than 100 for the second year in a row). It happens yearly on February 7th, which commemorates the first Star Wars centered podcast debut in 1999. That means this is the 25th year of podcasting about Star Wars even if it's only th...
149. This is the Way Podcast Star Wars News Update - January 2024
January 29, 2024 17:25 - 25 minutes - 27.3 MBNew Year, same great news coverage from This is the Way Podcast! Disney Plus live action Star Wars shows aren't "coming soon" but January saw an official greenlight for a second season of Ahsoka and a new "The Mandalorian and Grogu" movie. Will there be a season four of The Mandalorian? That news would have to come in a future news update podcast. The Bad Batch third and final season is coming next month (February 21st) and finishes up before this year's May the Fourth. Star Wars Podcast D...
148. This is the Way Podcast December 2023 News Update
December 31, 2023 07:14 - 16 minutes - 18.9 MBDisney Plus live action Star Wars shows have been on hiatus since Ahsoka wrapped and will be until 2024. Four shows await releases during the year. Andor's second season isn't one of them. There is a little bit of gamer news and some collectors items going on sale. There is no year in review because your This is the Way Podcast host has had an awful final quarter of the year. Here's hoping we're brought some Death Star plans. Help finish off the year with episode 148. It's not too long and...
147. This is the Way Podcast November 2023 News Update
November 28, 2023 16:07 - 29 minutes - 30.2 MBStar Wars was dealing with two strikes, but there's a new count now that Dave Filoni is in creative control at Lucasfilm. No, Kathleen Kennedy didn't get fired, but it does seem like having one person in control will be better than the story group that has been making Star Wars awful. Will Filoni make it great again? We have to wait and watch. Disney Plus Star Wars content is still on hiatus and news isn't great for gamers. Collectors are collecting thanks to the holiday season, which remin...
146. This is the Way: Ahsoka, The Jedi, The Witch, and The Warlord S1E8 Discussion
November 12, 2023 22:10 - 1 hour - 91.8 MBIf you're looking for a host that will put a positive spin on any criticism of Ahsoka and overlook the awful plotting, bad writing, and focus on only the highlights, then you may want to skip this episode of This is the Way Podcast. Disney's purchase of LucasFilm has finally "broken" the host and as a day one Disney Plus subscriber, cancelling the service felt like defeat. Hey! Something in common with Sabine and Ahsoka in the show! Thrawn is no military genius. That's not what we saw. Sab...
145. This is the Way Podcast October 2023 News Update
October 29, 2023 22:02 - 17 minutes - 15.7 MBOne strike is over, another might be coming to an end, but Disney Plus Star Wars content is going on hiatus no matter what. It will be months before The Acolyte or Skeleton Crew appears on the streaming service, so I hope you like video game and collectible news! Yes, This is the Way Podcast STILL hasn't finished with Ahsoka, the series, but hey, do we need to rush? The host has a new outlook on life after a major surgery in the family. Prayers always appreciated. What's your Star Wars cos...
144. This is the Way: Ahsoka, Dreams and Madness S1E7 Discussion
October 01, 2023 07:16 - 1 hour - 62 MBAhsoka has just one episode left after Dreams and Madness, Part VII. Remember the days when seasons were something like 20-25 episodes long? Back then, there were cliffhangers and you might have had to wait six months to see a thrilling conclusion. Six months? Now we wait years and get half finished plotlines instead of cliffhangers because the story teams haven't figured out how many years they can squeeze out of an idea. I sound a little bitter, right? It's hard not to be when you keep te...
143. This is the Way Podcast September 2023 News Update
September 26, 2023 15:41 - 19 minutes - 21.7 MBIs the strike over? Will we get new (Star Wars) series (on Disney Plus) soon? We may or may not, but Ahsoka is almost over and just last month we talked about how great the first couple episodes ended up being. With the advent of the 8 episode season that has pretty much become an industry standard, a lot needs to happen early or people won't even get past the first half. Strike news, Ahsoka news, video games, collectibles, and even a note about Star Tours getting an update. Slow month, Sep...
142. This is the Way: Ahsoka, Far, Far Away S1E6 Discussion
September 25, 2023 18:33 - 1 hour - 78 MBAhsoka is back from "The World Between Worlds" and now "far, far away" in a brand new galaxy....that looks a lot like the old one we know so well. I don't think Lucasfilm and Disney were intending to start from scratch and introduce new concepts and yes, we've got new aliens and new planets, but as Baylan seems to say, Star Wars is a tale like our own history. It's going to repeat again, and again, and again... Far, Far Away is either giving us a lot to think about or tricking us into thin...
141. This is the Way: Ahsoka, Shadow Warrior S1E5 Discussion
September 19, 2023 03:29 - 1 hour - 81.6 MBAhsoka starts the second half of season one with a blast from the past we never got to see and Ahsoka doesn't even give Anakin a big hug. Seriously, if you got to not just remember, but re-experience the past with someone you miss, would you whine and complain about learning lessons right away? No wonder she got her nickname for being snippy. The World Between Worlds operates completely differently each time someone seems to visit, as does the way in and the way out. Who needs consistency w...
140. This is the Way: Ahsoka, Fallen Jedi S1E4 Discussion
September 11, 2023 17:52 - 57 minutes - 58.4 MBAhsoka reaches the halfway point of the season by visiting the "World Between Worlds" introduced in the animated series, Rebels. If you had that on your bingo card, congratulations. It's not that odds weren't great that Dave Filoni would take his creation to another time and space...err, place, but animation doesn't always translate well to live action. I suppose we've already crossed that stream, haven't we? Ahsoka wins one fight and loses another because she burns her hand with a power-fi...
139. This is the Way: Ahsoka, Time to Fly S1E3 Discussion
September 02, 2023 21:14 - 50 minutes - 54.2 MBAhsoka doesn't have to be serious to be a good show. I mean, the character sure has been acting serious and crossing her arms a lot, but Star Wars fans don't need everything to make perfect sense to enjoy it. It sure would help if the writing of the show was top level. What will be next for the show? That's hard to guess. Will Hera enlist a pirate or Maz Kanata since the Senate is so stingy? Will Ahsoka wipe out these "other" Jedi or will there be no finale to the fighting? Is discovering T...
138. This is the Way Podcast August 2023 News Update
August 29, 2023 13:00 - 12 minutes - 14.5 MBHurricane Idalia is out in the Gulf of Mexico, but the month ends this week, so it's news update time for us at This is the Way Podcast headquarters. There isn't much news, other than Ahsoka's first week, an Andor "easter egg" and Skeleton Crew operating with a skeleton crew in Hollywood. There's video game news and collectors have a couple notes and a certain Disney Plus show is promoting itself with a character at Galaxy's Edge (in California only, so far). We'll watch the weather, you li...
137. This is the Way: Ahsoka, Toil and Trouble S1E2 Discussion
August 28, 2023 20:17 - 58 minutes - 59.9 MBAhsoka's first episode set a tone and the second continued the theme. She's looking for Thrawn...oh, and Ezra, too. Hera and Sabine couldn't care less about the bad guys. They just want their friend back. Huyang is trying to preserve his circuitry while Chopper cares very little for collateral damage on Corellia. Baylan seems like the most interesting man in the galaxy and that's based on more than looks. Elsbeth dips her finger into witchcraft in the episode and Marrok shows off HIS lights...
136. This is the Way: Ahsoka, Master and Apprentice S1E1 Discussion
August 24, 2023 16:43 - 57 minutes - 62.1 MBAhsoka feels like she's been around since the beginning even though her first appearance in Star Wars came this century and not a long time ago in a galaxy...oh you know. Since she became Anakin's padawan, she's been reviled and revisited as a Rebel and now, revered with a live action series of her own. It might be the most successful introduction to Star Wars canon since the prequels to the hearts of fans, at least of any character not named Grogu. The series premiere certainly isn't fan ...
135. This is the Way: Ahsoka Series Preview
August 21, 2023 14:58 - 19 minutes - 20.4 MBThis is the Way Podcast was developed specifically for the very first Disney Plus Star Wars show, but my, how it has grown. Three seasons of The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor, animated series, and monthly Star Wars news. Now, in August of 2023, we're getting another live action entry: Ahsoka. The character has grown on the fandom from a canon breaking annoyance to a well developed and well loved icon that fleshes out Anakin in a way we might not even have realize...
134. This is the Way on The Bad Batch Season Two Second Half
August 15, 2023 00:18 - 49 minutes - 53.1 MBSteve finished watching the second half of season two of The Bad Batch a long time ago, but in a galaxy not so far away. As an animated show, it has to stand up to Rebels and even The Clone Wars and sometimes, well, it doesn't match the quality. Whether it's the story or the writing is up for debate, but it must be a challenge to tie together different shows in a meaningful way and please most of your fans. Season two's second half isn't all bad, but it's not mostly good, either. If a podca...
133. This is the Way Podcast July 2023 News Update
July 28, 2023 20:59 - 28 minutes - 30.2 MBSummer is in full sweat in the south, but San Diego Comic Con had most of the cool Star Wars news for the month. The guild strikes in Hollywood put a lot of coming content into question, but Ahsoka is close enough to the end of the production line to probably be safe for it's intended release. Shooting schedules are paused and actors and writers are less likely to market for an industry they feel is leaving them in a lurch over streaming royalties. It's the perfect time to catch up with col...
132. This is the Way Podcast June 2023 News Update
June 30, 2023 07:16 - 13 minutes - 15.3 MBThis is the Way we handle podcasts in the summer...sometimes. The middle of the year last year was cooled off by the chilly reception some people gave Obi-Wan Kenobi (the series, not the character). This spring, The Mandalorian (again, series, not characters) didn't exactly heat things up...unless you were Moff Gideon I guess. That's why the Disney Gallery behind-the-scenes look at season three of The Mandalorian felt lukewarm at best. Well, there was no Luke, like there was for season two ...
131. This is the Way Podcast May 2023 News Update
May 31, 2023 20:37 - 32 minutes - 33.9 MBReturn of the Jedi has been "a thing" for forty years now. FORTY. YEARS. This is the Way Podcast endorses Episode VI as the height of original Star Wars. Yes, higher than Empire Strikes Back. Certainly not possible without the first movie and fourth episode, but it is unlikely that any movie will supplant "the one with the Sarlaac Pit, Ewoks, Yoda disappearing and Obi Wan on a log and the best finish ever with old Anakin force ghost and Yub nub on the forest moon. Deal with it. As usual th...
130. This is the Way on May the Fourth 2023
May 05, 2023 02:20 - 5 minutes - 6.26 MBThere are special episodes and then there are episodes that are special. This is both! Wait. We said that last year. It's true...all of it. For "May the Fourth" in 2023, Steve interviews...his first daughter. Today was a short interview about what she thinks of Star Wars and how she doesn't enjoy the death and dying that--for better or worse--has been part of the Star Wars watching experience since the beginning. There is no right or wrong way to like Star Wars, after all. There are no tri...
129. This is the Way: The Mandalorian, Chapter 24 Discussion
May 02, 2023 20:45 - 56 minutes - 57.7 MBThe finale of the season could have served as a series finale, but The Mandalorian might be back to his bounty hunting ways if we do in fact get the season four that Jon Favreau says is written. Will it serve the function of the shelved Rangers of the New Republic? Many of those (scripts or at least ideas) may be turned into new Mando chapters. Wait a minute, this is season four talk...how about season three's finale? Bo-Katan decides going it alone won't work anymore. Axe Woves drives a s...
128. This is the Way Podcast April 2023 News Update
April 29, 2023 06:48 - 30 minutes - 34 MBReturn of the Jedi is back in theaters and April is drawing to a close. Before we get to May the Fourth, we need to discuss Star Wars Celebration and Disney's dastardly deeds at Reedy Creek. The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch wrapped up seasons and Visions gets ready for another. Ahsoka is on the way, but so is Andor, Acolyte, and Skeleton Crew. Survivor is out to play and as usual, collectors have reasons to hooray. Are you ready for May? What do you say? THIS IS THE WAY! Questions or co...
127. This is the Way: The Mandalorian S3E8 First Impressions
April 19, 2023 15:37 - 8 minutes - 9.37 MBIf you wanted a lot of action without a lot of answers, you got it. I don't dislike the season three finale of The Mandalorian, but I wanted to LOVE it. It's...okay. After a week of theories on "The Spies" it turns out everyone was right and wrong. It didn't matter who was more suspect because in the end, they were all Mandalorian and "The Return" to the planet is complete. There will still be challenges ahead, but finally, THE FORGE AWAKENS. Why did Grogu take Din when that's not the nami...
126. This is the Way: The Mandalorian, Chapter 23 Discussion
April 18, 2023 01:10 - 59 minutes - 62.4 MBTheory talk is thriving on the internet this week as podcasters and fans try to sort through who are the spies to which "The Spies" refers...plural. Is The Armorer talking about the Way while secretly advancing the aims of the Empire? Is Axe Woves going for help or getting out of harm's way? Is Captain Bombardier so concerned with pleasure that Plazir-15 is now really just a waystation for Imperial trade? Are the survivors really surviving or did they trade their loyalty to the planet for pe...
125. This is the Way: The Mandalorian S3E7 First Impressions
April 12, 2023 16:13 - 23 minutes - 25.5 MBNo. Yes. No. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes... Lucasfilm and Disney really cannot give up Grogu. They should not. They probably WILL NOT. What could have come off as a horrible parody ended up being cute and funny. It could still end up being terrible, but for now, we must admit, we like Independent Grogu-12. Who are the titular spies? Elia Kane is certainly one. Does Brindol Hux count because his son famously declares himself as one many years later? What about any and all of the Im...
124. This is the Way: The Mandalorian, Chapter 22 Discussion
April 11, 2023 03:54 - 32 minutes - 32.9 MBThere were way too many people making excuses for this episode for me and I just couldn't ignore that, nor could I get past the casting surprises in Guns for Hire. Christopher Lloyd has been announced for the season so when we saw Commissioner Helgait, we had been looking forward to seeing the legendary actor on screen. I like Jack Black and I don't hate Lizzo. Those were...less than welcome surprises, even if they fit our criteria of "fans casted" for roles in a galaxy, far, far away. The ...
123. This is the Way: The Mandalorian S3E6 First Impressions
April 05, 2023 18:08 - 32 minutes - 32.9 MBThis episode is a bit of a mess. Oh, the podcast, too. The tone was odd from the opening scene and ended awkwardly with a faction of Mandalorians that recently left Bo-Katan because she was an ineffectual leader and lacked the Darksaber. Now, they seem to be back onboard after a promise that she really does deserve it. Ya gotta trust him. The less I say about the episode in the show notes, the better. I ramble through "stream of consciousness" style and I haven't resorted to this few note...
122. This is the Way: The Mandalorian, Chapter 21 Discussion
April 04, 2023 01:52 - 52 minutes - 55.7 MBThis is a "clip heavy" episode. If I felt the disturbance in the Force, I went with it. The Pirate finally reveals where Moff Gideon ISN'T, which is what we all figured. The Armorer still doesn't have a name, but she elevates Bo-Katan and House Kryze to the heights of Mandalore...if she has that authority, but I mean, who is she, really? Zeb is back. Well, he was back for a couple of lines and we might not see him again anytime soon, but HEY! Live action Lasat! We are all out of trailer fo...
121. This is the Way Podcast March 2023 News Update
March 30, 2023 21:00 - 18 minutes - 21 MBStill updating on Star Wars news, but for the first time, it's also on YouTube! The creator of the podcast and host discusses The Mandalorian and streaming numbers. He touches on the Bad Batch and This is the Way Podcast's upcoming season two second half recap. Next in episode 121 of the podcast is news on Ahsoka and The Acolyte. As usual there's gab for gamers, a collection of stories for collectors, and some tidbits that touch on comic conventions and Disney Parks. "This is the Way" we co...
120. This is the Way: The Mandalorian S3E5 First Impressions
March 29, 2023 16:47 - 22 minutes - 23.6 MBJust last week Ahmed Best took Kelleran Beq from internet game show to Star Wars canon. This week, Garazeb Orellios went from animated in an animated series to...well, okay, computer generated and animated in live action. It was still great to see a Rebels character come to life! Okay, we saw Ahsoka do that last season. Hey, you get my point! Did you ever think we'd see the Armorer tell someone to take it off? The helmet I mean. I mean, this isn't the way, is it? I guess it is now, since sh...
119. This is the Way: The Mandalorian, Chapter 20 Discussion
March 27, 2023 23:59 - 36 minutes - 37.5 MBThis was a short episode. Oh, of the podcast? Sure, but wow this one would have needed to be stacked with commercials to fit an hour slot. In these streaming days, well, no such trouble. Yes, I know last week's description seems similar and that's purposeful when you consider the difference between the lengths. This episode was the shortest of the series! I went this far before bringing up Ahmed Best. Are you proud of me? I don't think I'll ever warm to Jar Jar Binks, but the man suffered...
118. This is the Way: The Mandalorian S3E4 First Impressions
March 23, 2023 20:47 - 17 minutes - 17.6 MBIt was a challenge keeping emotions under control when we saw a certain character pop up to save the day at the Jedi Temple. Ahmed Best suffered greatly from a small but hateful group of Jar Jar haters who for some reason saw fit to punish the actor for the sins of the prequel creator. It must have been easier to blame the performer, even though the performance was exactly the direction desired by the producers. Make no mistake, we're not Jar Jar Binks fans (or at least Steve isn't), but Th...
117. This is the Way: The Mandalorian, Chapter 19 Discussion
March 21, 2023 17:47 - 59 minutes - 62.4 MBThis was a long episode. Oh, of the podcast? Sure, but wow this one would have had to have been cut down in the days of broadcast television watching. In these streaming days, well, no such trouble. How do the helmets of the Children of the Watch relate to the numbers given to officers under the amnesty of the New Republic? Well, we don't want to talk faces and names because then we have individualism and these groups are more into the "collective" style. What's with the yellow travel bisc...
116. This is the Way: The Mandalorian S3E3 First Impressions
March 15, 2023 18:45 - 24 minutes - 27 MBJust when I thought we were done in the mines, we got pulled back in. Din Djarin had to refill the ol' canteen and boy would those magic waters pay off in the end. Bo-Katan lost her home and found a new one, of sorts. Doctor Pershing gets rehabilitated and then his brain recombobulated. A certain Comms Officer feels upwardly mobile, doesn't she? Is that with her new friends or with her old. We're betting she's still got some of that "Imp" in her. Must be the biscuits. This episode got us th...
115. This is the Way: The Mandalorian, Chapter 18 Discussion
March 13, 2023 08:23 - 34 minutes - 37.3 MB"How long is this quest gonna take?" "Oh, maybe like, an hour...hour fifteen?" Din Djarin has been seeking redemption since finding out he made a boo boo when he took his helmet off for Grogu. I mean, that's according to his den mother, affectionately known as "The Armorer" but she rules the roost with a beskar hammer and tongs. Look, I'm not SAYING Bo Katan has a thing for Din, but those looks she was giving? She is giving herself over--not to him and not to The Way, but to the purity of...
114. This is the Way: The Mandalorian S3E2 First Impressions
March 08, 2023 15:31 - 29 minutes - 30.5 MBDin Djarin visits Tatooine on Boonta Eve and all he got was this lousy droid with a bad motivator. Grogu learns where he is in the universe just in the nick of time. Time stands still on Mandalore (thankfully) and a creepy tick droid tries sucking the life right out of our hero. Bo-Katan saves the day and probably deserves the Darksaber, but she'll let her new boyfriend hold it for now. Yeah, I said it... If you thought you'd never see myths come to life, well, you didn't count on seeing wh...
113. This is the Way: The Mandalorian, Chapter 17 Discussion
March 05, 2023 19:50 - 43 minutes - 46.4 MBLast time, on The Mandalorian... Well, LUKE showed up for one. For those in the know, Din Djarin and Grogu got the band back together in the "offseason" which was actually the end of The Book of Boba Fett's season. I'm not talking post-credit scenes, either. There are purgill and space gators and monkey lizards and bat things and maybe even convors. Protocol droids abound. Anzellans steal screen time and Greef Karga makes his best pitch for a lawman even though he's still quick on the draw....
112. This is the Way: The Mandalorian S3E1 First Impressions
March 01, 2023 14:34 - 25 minutes - 28.4 MBIt's back! They're back! Convors and Purgills, oh my! Anzellan cuteness! Why did Din Djarin go to Bo-Katan before Tatooine? What's the deal with Greef Karga? Why is there always a pirate problem? Who is Ragnar's daddy and what does he do? Is Grogu going to become a great pilot? Where can we get our hands on some Mandalore glass? We expect to have first thoughts podcasts available each Wednesday, just like this, and then a recap and discussion podcast by the weekend, and then, if we've got ...
111. This is the Way: The Mandalorian Season 3 Preview
February 28, 2023 08:09 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBThis is the Way Podcast was developed specifically for the very first Disney Plus Star Wars show. We were fans well before we spotted "The Child" at the end of the first episode. The trailers that had been coming out for season one got Steve to ask everyone and anyone if they wanted to join him in discussing the show. It was an amazing and fun season. Season two came and Favreau and Filoni built on a solid foundation of Star Wars. The finale brought people to their feet and tears of joy to ...
110. This is the Way Podcast February 2023 News Update
February 20, 2023 18:21 - 24 minutes - 23 MBMore Star Wars news, more often. Now that's a slogan I haven't heard in a long time. A LONG time. That's from a West Texas television station the host once worked at and was number one until he left. This is the Way Podcast doesn't bear any resemblance to that workplace. Steve Loscalzo discusses The Bad Batch, The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, The Acolyte and more in episode 110. There are a couple of news items for gamers, some for collectors, and of course, a check in with Disney Parks news. This...
109. This is the Way on The Bad Batch Season Two First Half
February 14, 2023 19:37 - 43 minutes - 39.8 MBSteve has been watching season two of The Bad Batch weekly on Disney Plus, but you may have noticed there aren't any recap and discussion episodes of the podcast. That's how This is the Way Podcast did things during the first season two years back and that's how it is going to be here in 2023. As an animated show, it's still entertaining and no less interesting as far as lore and canon is concerned, but with The Mandalorian season three approaching and coming off the fantastic set of episode...
108. This is the Way We Observe Star Wars Podcast Day 2023
February 07, 2023 13:00 - 20 minutes - 18.6 MBIt's #StarWarsPodcastDay2023 and we are observing it by interviewing a "friend of the show" and focusing on the good. Maybe there is a friend out there that feels just like you do about a galaxy, far, far away. This episode was commissioned for Star Wars Podcast Day 2023 which is being observed by more than 100 different podcasts by different creators about Star Wars topics on February 7th. We were part of the first one in 2021 and released an episode last year as well. This is the third ti...
107. This is the Way Podcast January 2023 News Update
January 18, 2023 19:35 - 18 minutes - 16.8 MBNew year, same news update format. That may either delight or frustrate you, but we started these news updates as a way to keep our podcast (and the name This is the Way Podcast) current between seasons of The Mandalorian. That's right, even this news update has roots in the "original" Star Wars Disney Plus show. Andor might have perfected the craft of storytelling Star Wars on streaming services, but Din Djarin and Grogu are still our favorites and while news of the show is sparse, we do ha...
106. This is the Way We React to The Mandalorian S3 Trailer
January 17, 2023 23:13 - 24 minutes - 22.4 MBDo you love The Mandalorian? Do you think you'd be a great co-host if you were just given a chance? Do you think you can commit to weekly show recaps and discussions with host and creator Steve? Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night? Wait, wrong IP. The Mandalorian's third season starts streaming on Disney Plus on March 1st which means This is the Way Podcast is gearing up for coverage. There's still two months of news updates and a first half recap of season two of...
105. This is the Way Podcast December 2022 News Update
December 31, 2022 18:46 - 18 minutes - 16.9 MBThe year is coming to a close and our last news update of 2022 isn't a long one. Instead of reviews like many other content creators, This is the Way Podcast will avoid rehashing the good and bad and stick to the simple stuff. All fans need to know is "what's next?" and that's The Bad Batch second season and a third season of The Mandalorian less than 60 days away.
