Star Wars fans… we might regret this one.In this week’s episode of the Star Wars Time Show, Matt and Nick are back with 10 brand-new Star Wars hot takes for 2026 — and some of them are going to hurt.We’re debating:• Have the prequels aged better than the sequels?• Is The Empire Was Right actually defensible?• Is Andor easily the best Disney+ Star Wars series?• Is A New Hope overrated?• Has Grogu already peaked as a character?• Should Ahsoka Season 2 kill a major character?• Is Darth Maul better written than Darth Vader?• Is Star Wars animation more important than live action?• Should Star Wars take a 5-year break after this slate?These aren’t safe takes. These aren’t polite takes. These are the ones that start arguments.Let us know which hot take you agree with — and which one crossed the line.May the debate be with you.Follow the Show🎙️ New episodes weekly📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/StarWarsTimeShow🎧 Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/starwarstimeshow

Last night Matt went live for a full scene-by-scene breakdown of the first trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu.While Rotta the Hutt and the underworld grab immediate attention, this doesn’t look like a simple bounty hunter movie. The bigger question is whether the Hutts are operating independently — or working with the fractured remnants of the Empire.We discuss:• Why the Hutts may be tied to Imperial warlords• Whether the New Republic might need something from Rotta• The Shadow Council connections from The Mandalorian Season 3• The warlord seen in the trailer and what that implies• Why fans don’t want “just a Hutt movie”• Din Djarin’s role in a fragile New Republic eraIf this film continues the Shadow Council storyline, it could be setting up something much larger in the post-Return of the Jedi era.The Mandalorian & Grogu opens exclusively in theaters May 22, 2026.🎧 Watch/Listen now: https://youtube.com/live/1RIRn0ejyNA?feature=shareHit up Spotify - https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/starwarstimeshow to get the podcast version.#themandalorianandgrogu

This week on the Star Wars Time Show, Matt is joined by Young Nick for a pre-recorded episode packed with Star Wars news, rumors, and leaked set photo discussion.We start with Ahsoka Season 2, where newly surfaced set images appear to show massive, ancient mechanical remains scattered across Peridea. If the photos are legit, they may hint at a long-forgotten war that left the galaxy largely lifeless, outside of the Great Witches seen in stasis during Season 1. We also discuss a separate rumored image tied to the Mortis Gods and what that could mean for how deep Season 2 might go into Force mythology.From there, we shift to confirmed news, including reports that the upcoming Starfighter film will feature no legacy characters at all, signaling a major creative departure for theatrical Star Wars.We also hit on podracing officially returning in the upcoming Galactic Racer game and break down the first preview of the Maul prequel comic Shadow of Maul, which explores Maul’s past ahead of the animated series Maul: Shadow Lord.As always, we separate fact from speculation, flag rumors clearly, and try to connect the dots without going full tinfoil.🎧 Watch/Listen now: https://youtu.be/hSSCVXF-RnQHit up Spotify - https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/starwarstimeshow to get the podcast version.#starwarstimeshow #maul #ahsoka

This week on the Star Wars Time Show, Matt and Young Nick break down two stories that hit very different parts of the Star Wars fandom, but both carry real implications for the future of the franchise.First, we dive into a growing rumor circulating within the industry that Dave Filoni could be preparing to take on a larger leadership role at Lucasfilm, potentially alongside Lynwen Brennan, with longtime president Kathleen Kennedy possibly nearing retirement. We discuss where the rumor is coming from, how realistic it actually is, and what a Filoni-led Lucasfilm might look like in practice, creatively and structurally.Then we pivot to the bigger surprise of the week: reports that Tom Cruise filmed a lightsaber duel for Shawn Levy’s upcoming Star Wars film, Starfighter. While Cruise’s involvement is eye-catching on its own, the real takeaway is what this confirms about the movie itself: Force users and lightsabers are officially part of the story. We break down why that matters, what it tells us about the direction of Star Wars films, and why this changes expectations for Starfighter.Topics covered include:How credible the Filoni leadership rumors really areWhat Lucasfilm leadership transitions usually look likeWhy lightsabers in Starfighter are a much bigger deal than Cruise’s cameoWhat this means for Force users in future Star Wars filmsAs always, we separate rumor from reality and talk through what actually matters long-term for Star Wars.🎙 New episodes every week📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/StarWarsTimeShow🎧 Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/starwarstimeshow
