Summary
Can lightsabers work like mood rings for your soul? Matthew Fox and Erin McGowan get listeners ready for "Star Wars: Visions Presents - The Ninth Jedi," the new eight episode series expanding two existing Visions shorts about a girl named Kara, her captured father, and lightsabers that change color depending on who's holding them. They break down both shorts scene by scene, plus read written thoughts from absent co-host Alex Kormann.Erin makes the case that these lightsabers track a person's pull toward the dark side almost in real time, while Matthew connects the droid Teto's advice about admitting failure to Yoda's line from "The Last Jedi." They also debate how much a story needs to fit official canon to still feel like real Star Wars, and end with a theory about who else from the galaxy's past might turn up a thousand years later.
