  220. June 2026 This is the Way Podcast Star Wars News Update

  Jun 30, 202633 minS4

  The Mandalorian and Grogu movie is not doing as well as Disney and Lucasfilm had hoped. That doesn't mean it's not a good movie! The public can't be forced to spend money and fans already have, so there's some work to do for them to find out what will keep fans coming back and what will get more people to give it a watch. This is the Way Podcast knows that pain. Maybe there's a new way with an app to watch it in theaters with director commentary? Starfighter may already have a rough cut and some people in Europe might have seen footage! A model maker passes away and he's got quite the resume. There is news from a Summer Games Fest and there's news of a different kind of fest from France. It seems Quantic Dreams isn't playing fair. Fate of the Old Republic continues to hire, Galactic Racers gets closer to release, and ZERO Company starts a promotional push. Collectors continue to quickly consume more product when it comes to Grogu and specialty items from the Hasbro Pulse website. Disney Parks goers may be getting a new way to consume food and drink in Batuu this year, and of course, there's another "word" for those who follow the only way to heaven.

  Episode #219

  219. May 2026 This is the Way Podcast Star Wars News Update

  May 31, 202645 minS4

  The Mandalorian and Grogu movie has arrived! How did it perform? Was it the best movie Lucasfilm has released since Rise of Skywalker? Of course! It's the ONLY Star Wars movie released since that one in 2019! Maul: Shadow Lord's first season is over and we know there will be a season two, but Ahsoka might not end after it's sophomore season. We have to wait for 2027 to find out and by that time, we'll be gearing up for another Star Wars movie! There's gaming news on Knights of the Old Republic and the spiritual successor, Fate of the Old Republic. Eclipse seems to need developers, which means it isn't cancelled. Collectors have lots to collect, like LEGO sets and Hasbro figures and there's even a chance someone can bring home Grogu (for the right price). There's a new ride mode in Galaxy's Edge and new planets to visit, new merchandise in the stalls of Batuu and a new show on the spires. Two legends in the Star Wars space pass into the Force and we have another "word" for you this month.

May the Force be with us!

  218. This is the Way We Observe May the Fourth 2026

  May 4, 202618 minS3

  <p>"Happy May the Fourth!"</p><p>It's that time for another special episode of This is the Way Podcast, but it's a little less special than years past.</p><p>I tried, "fam" I really tried. I was perhaps a little too hopeful that one of three people I asked would say yes to an interview, but next year, I'll try my sister. Brother, mother, and sister-in-law all said "no thanks" to an interview. Is that because they don't love Star Wars enough to do it? Yes. Oh, they still like Star Wars, but not enough to help a "...

  Apr 30, 202632 minS3

  <p>Maul: Shadow Lord's first season is coming to a close and we're very close to the next Star Wars movie debut. Ahsoka's second season is in post-production and Starfighter has an editor that's returning to work with Levy and is familiar with stories from a galaxy, far, far away.</p><p>Cara Dune might not be done and Galactic Racers might be arriving soon. Hasbro Pulse seems to be saving new products for Star Wars Day, but LEGO snuck something into the store that at the very least, we didn't see last time. Episode 217 isn't one of the longest...
