•
Steven and Marshall from the Androids and Assets podcast join me to discuss the fifth season of Amazon Prime's The Expanse. This season, the show deals with questions of revolutionary violence through Marco Inaros and the Free Navy's attacks against the inner planets of Earth and Mars. In this episode, we discuss how the show illustrates exploitation, revolution, and violence. Prepare for Jokerfication.

01:17:55|The High Republic is the new interconnected mega story from Lucasfilm Publishing set 200 years before The Phantom Menace. The first book, Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule shows us the Jedi Order as a proactive force for good in a Republic expanding into the Outer Rim.In this episode, I review the first book of The High Republic (Spoilers from 42:59 - 56:51) and I look ahead to what's next in this era, and sadly, look to the reactionary elements of the Star Wars fandom that became so toxic during this initiative's launch, it prompted a tweet from the official Star Wars account denouncing the racist abuse from fans. Further, I look to the conspiratorial stories Star Wars fans obsess over in the secret Shadow War happening at Lucasfilm between the forces of evil feminism and cool guy stuff.70 - Songbird: COVID-23andMe
