The Geeks also explore the live-action debut of cortosis, the ancient armor of Legends that short-circuits lightsabers.

Plus, The Geeks analyze Qimir’s new lightsaber design and its impact on combat, and the dramatic twin switch between Osha and Mae. Lastly, they discuss the supervillain problem—with one of the Geeks arguing that a super-powered villain thrashing Jedi at will damages the show.
