For this week's episode, the DetBlock Crew bounce around a little bit with their topics. To start out, they discuss some news revolving around a particular character from a Star Wars movie you may or may not be familiar with that will be returning in the upcoming Star Wars show, Skeleton Crew. If you've seen our title thumbnail, you know who we are talking about. Yes, we're talking about Teek from Ewok Adventures: The Battle for Endor. Crazy enough, Mike and his wife actually ran into the actress who portrayed Teek [Niki Botelho] and they didn't even realize it at the time. Funny story, AMAZING person!

Bogie and Mike then delve into the concept that Star Wars projects need to be written and created by people or teams that are fans of the franchise. Enough of the bringing in new people who have minimal to no knowledge of the Star Wars franchise, as Disney has specifically done with some of their projects. Instead, let's utilize people like Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau, and hey... maybe some fan film creators! Kidding... kind of...

From there, the two guys start talking a little bit about the sequel trilogy and how jumping directors pretty much set that trilogy up for failure. What started with potential, ended with a project trying to quickly patch up the holes. Following that, they make a little comparison to what is going on with the Marvel universe and how confidence in that universe is waning as well and some of the reasons behind that.

After talking a little bit about the Ahsoka show, a new book being released centering around certain Acolyte characters, and some fan film productions, they then finish up their talk with more of Bogie's Clone Wars season one experience. As he pushes through more episodes of the show, he brings his insights and opinions on the episodes he's watched.
