Happy Star Wars Day!

from Media Nerds/Star Wars Nerds Hosted by Dan Vadeboncoeur

On this Star Wars Day edition of The Star Wars Nerds, Dan and Kenton break down Disney+’s latest May the 4th drops: the new three‑minute sneak peek at The Mandalorian & Grogu and the finale of Maul: Shadow Lord. They nerd out over the walker-set action sequence, debate the box office prospects of the first post‑COVID Star Wars theatrical release, and talk about how streaming has changed audience habits. The Nerds then turn to the last two episodes of Maul, exploring Maul’s trauma, the light/dark tension in Devon’s arc, and an epic showdown with Darth Vader. Along the way, they take a few shots at Marvel’s upcoming Doomsday and Hollywood’s obsession with nostalgia and recycled IP.
