Running Time: 33 minutes

Running a company’s tough. Running a galaxy-wide company’s got to be near impossible with all the different considerations and concerns you have to navigate. John & Matt spend this week wondering about how companies would have to navigate burdensome and difficult regulations, rampant corruption, and clashes of cultures in the quest to make enough credits for it to be worth it. How would all these factors have shaped business in the Star Wars galaxy…and would it have made Imperial rule the preference of the companies?​

Running Time: 40 minutes

Now that Lucasfilm has Dave Filoni as a new leader, John & Matt chat about the opportunities for a new Star Wars era of storytelling and audience engagement. 

They also debate if Disney has smartly set him up for success by installing him at a critical point when so many fan-favorite character projects are about to launch. Perhaps most importantly, they touch on the importance of his working relationship with Lynwen Brennan as she complements his creative focus with decades-long business acumen.​
