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 Dave Filoni handle Thrawn’s fate in the Mandoverse? Will Thrawn go down in a blaze of villainous glory, get exiled, or pull off a shocking alliance with the heroes? Matt and Nick discussed all the most likely outcomes—and the ones no one’s expecting.

If you’re into ranking debates, character analysis, and wild Thrawn theories, this episode is right in your star lane.

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 controversial Star Wars lists ever published.

Matt also reviews TRON: Ares, shows off the channel's True Power of the Force video, and memorializes Drew Struzan.

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 were out of the way, they jumped into Ask Us Anything with a great question: Which Original Trilogy character’s story would you change? Nick picked Lando, Matt picked Boba Fett—but you’ll have to tune in to hear why.

The main event was a deep dive review of Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past. Both hosts found it stronger than season 1, praising its chaotic humor, clever writing, and unapologetically unserious tone. That sparked a debate: Is Lego Star Wars the best kind of Star Wars right now?

They closed things out with fan responses to the Question of the Week and another solid batch of Top 5 Star Wars fan artists, showcasing killer work from the community.
