Star Wars News Roundup: The Mandalorian, Episode 9, Resistance, and More!

The news drought is over! This week alone saw major developments for "The Mandalorian", "The Rise of Skywalker", "Star Wars: Resistance", Battlefront II, and the announcement of a new Obi-Wan Kenobi series coming to Disney+ starring Ewan McGregor! With so much to unpack, we take this episode to react and break down all the juicy news.* Note: This was recorded on Wednesday, August 21 - so, just prior to all the really good stuff going public during the D23 Expo this weekend. Of course. We cover it in rumor form instead.Check out the new trailer for "The Mandalorian": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOC8E8z_ifwAnd the new trailer for "Star Wars: Resistance" Season 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkJtdJKCVto---------The Nerfherder Council on Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerfherder-council/id1076137721?mt=2The Nerfherder Council on Spotify Podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/show/0JiwePVYsN9VuS2kJ0b135The Nerfherder Council on Google Podcasts: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/I5aon3ihvwonnnkwkknejzglvnuNHC on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nerfherdercouncil/NHC on Twitter: https://twitter.com/nhcpodcastBuy your NHC T-shirts and other gear on TeePublic! http://shop.nhcpodcast.comGet your free trial of Audible! http://www.audibletrial.com/nhcBuy Galactic Empire's music on Apple Music: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/galactic-empire/id1178245989---------SUPPORT US- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/NHCPodcast- Merch: http://shop.nhcpodcast.comLISTEN- Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerfherder-council/id1076137721?mt=2- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCONbf-oA0ZXSRGhdNBJLevw/- Spotify Podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/show/1V6tLzIjQIG51mqEaPXdOtSOCIALS- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nerfherdercouncil/- Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nhcpodcast.bsky.social- X: https://x.com/nhcpodcast
