There has been an awakening. Have you felt it? Well if you haven't felt it, you can now hear it! Garrett Weinzierl, Jennie Josephson, and Tom Merritt have been thawed from carbonite to bring you a new podcast all about Star Wars. Predictions will be made. Theories will be discussed. Blatant pandering in a sad attempt to get invited to a Star Wars premiere will happen (from time to time). On this pilot episode the rag tag Corellian cruiser crew maneuver straight into discussing Rey's possible family lineage and what that may mean for the next two installments of Star Wars.
If you would like to send a message to the crew you may do so using feedback@letstalkaboutstarwars.com.
