We are in ... well, Schaumberg. Which is a suburb of Chicago. But by the time you listen to this, we'll probably be in Chicago at our hotel across the street from STAR WARS CELEBRATION!!!
In this episode, we reveal that we got into the Mandalorian panel at the Celebration stage and the overflow stage for Episode IX!
There's going to be so much to talk about these next few days, we thought we'd do a quick fun little episode from the hotel room tonight. Enjoy!
