Episode 432: May the Federation Be With You

This week the Regular Joes find the stars in perfect alignment as the newest offerings from both the Star Wars and Star Trek universes seem poised to deliver on all the potential they can muster. First up is a trailer for the impending Obi-Wan series from Disney plus. This first peek pulls back the curtain on Obi-Wan Kenobi's undocumented middle years, between Jedi Knight and eccentric hermit. And damn, there is a lot to pull apart. Next we have our first slice of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as the first episode has aired, and two lucky hosts got to preview the first two installments. Strange New Worlds is the first Trek series whose genesis is directly credited to fans desire to see more of these characters. It also marks the return to the nearly forgotten art of episodic storytelling. It's a little new, it's a little old school, but it seems to be exactly what Trek fans have been waiting to see. There's also the usual Random Topics and a peek at What's On Barry and Dave's and respective Workbenches. Lastly, there's a tip of the hat to one of the true greats from the Bronze Age of comics. Thanks for Listening!
