It is the 750th episode of TRB! Matt Smith was going to play a young Palpatine clone in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, but that idea was scrapped. Thanks to dark science, somehow Matt Smith returns to the franchise in a new villain role for Shawn Levy’s Starfighter movie! We discuss that and more, including confusion over Ewan McGregor quotes about Ahsoka season 2, will he be in it? Probably, but he didn’t say he was! We also run through a great round of Will of the Force, will Sabine create a new Darksaber?! Plus your submitted #AskTheResistance questions, and more!

Somehow Matt Smith Returns to Star Wars After Not Being In Star Wars

We discuss that plus Simon Kinberg recently talking Star Wars, and our thoughts on the LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy - Pieces of the Past trailer. We also run through a great round of Will of the Force, could rancors appear in Maul Shadow Lord or Ahsoka season 2?! Give us a Rancor Rebellion! And John introduces his son to LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga, the Boonta Eve Classic has been conquered!
