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.
