## Resource

We will, eventually, get to the second set of Vader comics. But first, the gang imagines how they're going to react to The Mandalorian and Grogu . Because of course our patrons have already heard our reaction! Then they discuss how Vader has to sabotage yet another investigation into his own treachery, and Dr. Aphra's character arc as well as her academic credentials. Hosted by Rob Zacny ( robzacny.bsky.social ) Featuring Alicia Acampora ( ali-online.bsky.social ), Austin Walker ( austinwalker.bsky.social ), and Natalie Watson ( nataliewatson.bsky.social ) Produced by Michael Hermes Music by Jack de Quidt ( notquitereal.bsky.social Cover art by Xeecee ( xeecee.bsky.social )
