Candace and Catrina, both passionate Star Wars fans, are eager to share their thoughts on the newly announced 2026 mission for the Millennium Falcon Smuggler's Run ride at Galaxy's Edge. This update will bring characters from 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' into the ride. They discuss the timeline inconsistencies since Galaxy's Edge is set during the sequel trilogy era and how this integration disrupts the narrative continuity.

To celebrate the end of The Acolyte, Arezou and Candace are joined by fellow Waffle, Chelsea, to break down the season, and the way the series examines the role of the Jedi, and how they exert their authority in the galaxy.

They also talk about the characters, the idea of morally grey heroes as well as villains, and of course Oshamir.
