Episode Synopsis
In this long overdue episode of Star Wars: TIES, Landon and Jameson enter The Force Awakens era of the Star Wars universe with a brief homage to the 40th anniversary of Star Wars!. They discuss recent Star Wars pick-ups/happenings, and a now out-of-date Rebel Rumors about the Vanity Fair “Last Jedi” issue, sales from Comixology, new Marvel comic releases, and the Forces of Destiny cartoon. They also offer a birthday wish for Star Wars itself in addition to a discussion of some POP figures, the POTF “Shadows of the Empire” figures, and the new 40th anniversary figures. Afterwards, Landon and Jameson enter the Mos Eisley Drive-In to discuss the Last Jedi teaser trailer and the original trailer for Star Wars. They conclude with a visit to the Jedi Archives where theyc over Poe Dameron Issue # 1. These two scruffy nerf hosers discuss all of this and more over a tall, ice-cold glass of Black Licorice Bantha blue milk!
