Welcome back to Homeroom Time, to the second and final episode of our Star Wars Not That Much Of A Holiday Special!  We have, back with us, our interim host (and regular co-host) Atul Parida, interim co-host Salil Waknis, and guests Chinmay Ghaskadbi and Tanish Sodhi. While in the last episode we discussed The Bad Batch, we're opening the floor for more discussion and speculation on other upcoming Star Wars series like Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Mandalorian Season 3, Ahsoka, and The Acolyte, all likely to release by the end of the year. 2021 is one hell of a year for Star Wars and we at Homeroom Time understand that. Some interesting (Sith?) revelations come about in this episode, and be sure to check out our upcoming episodes on Twitch too!  Oh, and make sure to send us fan mail and voice messages, we'd love to get feedback and hear your opinions on what goes on in our series! Till next time! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/quar9teen/message
