In this episode, we rank the Top 9 Star Wars releases and events guaranteed to arrive in 2026, spanning movies, animated series, video games, comics, theme park experiences, and a major legacy moment tied directly to George Lucas.

We break down why each entry ...

As we head into the holiday break, it’s time to look back at the moments that defined Star Wars in 2025.

In this solo episode of Star Wars Time Show, I rank and break down the top 10 Star Wars moments of the year — from Andor Season 2 setting a new standard for Star Wars storytelling, to major film and TV reveals, to the surprising wins that quietly won fans over.

This wasn’t just a year of announcements. It was a year where Star War...

What would the Star Wars Prequels look like if George Lucas returned and gave them the same Special Edition treatment he applied to the Original Trilogy? In this episode, we explore the most Lucas-style updates that fit his historical editing patterns — expanded environments, enhanced VFX, improved battles, deleted-scene reintegration, creature updates, and small story refinements across The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, an...

Anakin Skywalker at his Jedi peak vs Darth Vader in his Sith prime — who was actually more powerful?

In this solo deep-dive, Matt breaks down Anakin’s unrealized potential, Vader’s refined dark-side mastery, and how the Chosen One’s tragedy created two entirely different versions of the same Force titan.

We’ll explore:

• Was Vader truly weaker, or did he become a different kind of monster?

• How both versions of Skywalker compare to Pa...

Matt and Nick break down a packed week of Star Wars updates. We talk about the reported directive that the upcoming Starfighter movie will avoid using legacy characters entirely, and what that might signal for Lucasfilm’s new direction. We also cover news that The Mandalorian Season 4 has been written, but there’s still no confirmation it will move forward.

We then dive into comments from a Star Wars Rebels writer who strongly d...

Matt breaks down a packed week of Star Wars news — including new details about the Starfighter movie and the surprising timeline it may explore. We also dig into the latest buzz around a possible Original Trilogy remaster and look at new images that may point to Dathomir’s role in Ahsoka Season 2.

In this episode:

• What’s driving the OT remaster buzz

We are aware Pete sounds a bit like C-3P0 due to an audio glitch. Apologies for the fail.

Author and longtime Star Wars voice Pete Fletzer joins the Star Wars Time Show to talk about his new book, Who Owns the Myth? Star Wars, Fandom, and the Soul of the Saga.

We explore what makes Star Wars a living myth — how it became something bigger than its creators, and why fans feel such deep ownership of the galaxy far, far away. Pete dives ...

This week, Matt flew solo to react to the breaking news that the Hunt for Ben Solo movie has officially been canceled. He broke down what might have led to the decision, and whether the concept of a post–Rise of Skywalker Ben Solo story made sense to begin with. His take? The story might’ve worked better as a prequel, exploring Ben’s fall rather than his Force ghost era.

Fan responses flooded in, with one standout idea gaining tract...

This week, Matt and Nick reunited to finish what they started—taking aim at Empire Magazine’s Top 50 Greatest Star Wars Characters of All Time. This episode covered ranks 25 through 1, and let’s just say it was a mix of celebration, disbelief, and straight-up shade. Some picks made sense. Others… not so much. But the #1 spot? Things got very suspect.

During the Ask Us Anything segment, the guys tackled a hot question: How will D...

Empire Magazine dropped their list of the 50 Greatest Star Wars Characters of All Time—but did they get it right? In this video, we break down characters ranked #50 to #26, and we’re not holding back.

From underrated heroes to surprising omissions, we analyze who deserves a higher spot, who’s overrated, and which icons should not be on the list at all.

Join us for Part 1 of our two-part series ranking and reacting to one of the most ...

This week marked the launch of a brand-new era for the Star Wars Time Show. Matt and Nick introduced their new bi-weekly prerecorded format, where they’ll team up every other Monday to record a full show that premieres on YouTube Wednesdays at 6PM EST. On the off weeks, Matt will host solo livestreams to keep the content flowing. It’s a new rhythm for the channel, and the team is excited for what’s ahead.

Once the announcements wer...

This week’s episode opened with Matt fielding Ask Me Anything questions solo, including a wild one: Would he become a hybrid like Wendy from Alien: Earth? Matt’s answer was a clear yes. Who wouldn’t want to be a walking supercomputer with enhanced strength?

He then moved into a review of the HIM movie. While the premise had promise, Matt didn’t think it fully lived up to its potential—or its title.

The main feature was a deep dive ...

This week’s episode kicked off with Matt flying solo, tackling some Ask Me Anything questions from the community. One of the highlights? A classic “what if” scenario—who would survive longer against a Xenomorph on a ship, Chewbacca or Boba Fett? Matt weighed in, and the logic may surprise you.

Nick jumped in shortly after and the duo broke down Episode 4 of Alien Earth. The focus this time was on Wendy’s strange connection to the X...

This week’s episode was a solo run as Nick took some much-needed vacation time, but Matt kept the show rolling. He kicked things off with Ask Me Anything, answering questions from the community—including one wild fan theory about how Ahsoka might eventually die. Speculation was intense, and the possibilities were darker than you’d think.

Matt followed that up with a quick review of Nobody 2, which he found surprisingly fun. Sure, B...

This week’s episode delivered big ideas, horror vibes, and a creature crossover that no one asked for—but everyone needed. We kicked things off with Ask Us Anything, featuring a standout question: who would we want to direct a Star Wars movie, and during what timeline? Matt and Nick had very different picks with totally opposite directing styles, which led to a great debate.

Matt then reviewed the new horror film&nbs...

This week’s episode opens with a twist—literally. We kicked things off with Ask Us Anything, where a fan asked which non–Star Wars movie had the biggest plot twist. Let’s just say Matt and Nick had very different answers, both pulling from late ’90s cinematic curveballs that still hit hard today.

Matt then reviewed the new Fantastic Four reboot and called it a worthwhile, visually solid entry. However, it’s missing that deeper conn...
