This week, Matt and Nick reunited to finish what they started—taking aim at Empire Magazine’s Top 50 Greatest Star Wars Characters of All Time. This episode covered ranks 25 through 1, and let’s just say it was a mix of celebration, disbelief, and straight-up shade. Some picks made sense. Others… not so much. But the #1 spot? Things got very suspect.


During the Ask Us Anything segment, the guys tackled a hot question: How will Dave Filoni handle Thrawn’s fate in the Mandoverse? Will Thrawn go down in a blaze of villainous glory, get exiled, or pull off a shocking alliance with the heroes? Matt and Nick discussed all the most likely outcomes—and the ones no one’s expecting.


If you’re into ranking debates, character analysis, and wild Thrawn theories, this episode is right in your star lane.
