New Hope or No Hope? OG Star Wars fans discuss the future of the franchise

from Connect More · host The Connect More crew

After the tone, we leave some messages about how voicemail fits into our day-to-day communications. Spoiler alert: We hate it. Don't leave your name and number. Just send a text. We've been pushed to the edge, cocked and ready. 😏We were eight years old when Star Wars premiered in 1977, the perfect age to become super-fans for life. The toys, the t-shirts, the posters, the branded school supplies - we were in for it ALL. But how are we feeling about the franchise after almost 50 years? "The Mandalorian & Grogu" dropped a few weeks ago. Is Star Wars in good hands? We wax nostalgic about our favorite moments and lament some of the missteps. It's been such a huge part of our lives that we probably could have talked about this for two hours. But we didn't.Most dudes we know are creatures of habit. We put our keys and wallet in the same place every day. We order the same things at restaurants. We wear basically the same outfit all the time. Are we keeping life simple and minimizing the choices we need to make every day... or are we just boring? Maybe a little bit of both?Summer is here, so it's time for baseball and fairs! We whip around with the best choices for festival and ballpark foods. Grab some Rolaids and join the fun!
