Is STAR WARS Better Without the Jedi and the Force? Plus ANDOR S2 Runtimes Leaked!

Strap in, Star Wars fans—this week’s episode was loaded with reveals, rumors, and a spicy debate or two. If you missed the livestream, here’s what went down in a galaxy not so far away…







We kicked things off with the big news: Bit Reactor’s Star Wars turn-based strategy game finally has a name. We broke down what we know so far, from the likely factions and time period, to why this could be the next big thing for fans of XCOM-style gameplay. If you’re into strategy and want to see if your squad can outsmart the Empire, this one’s for you.







Next, we turned our attention to Andor Season 2, and we have the episode runtimes! Let’s just say, they’re giving us plenty of room for slow-burn espionage, political tension, and that grounded Star Wars storytelling we loved in Season 1. We speculated on what longer episodes could mean for content creators and fans alike. Is it too much to ask each week to sink over two hours into a TV series?







And finally… we asked the question that split the chat right down the middle:







Are Star Wars stories better without the Jedi?







We debated both sides—whether the Jedi elevate the mythos, or if the galaxy shines brighter when the focus shifts to rebels, spies, and scoundrels.







Catch the replay, drop your thoughts in the comments, and may the discourse be with you!
