In this shorter episode 61 of The Force Geeks: A Star Wars Podcast Nate is solo and discusses .Benedict Cumberbatch's direct response to whether he would want to play the live-action role of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Plus, Disney CEO  Bob Chapek responds to questions from stockholders about the future of Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy remaining in that position and also about the firing of Gina Carano, who played Cara Dune on The Mandalorian. And, plans to publish two new The Mandalorian books have been shelved. But apparently it’s NOT for the reason we all think it is.

Nate also digs into what actor Andy Serkis knew about Snoke as he played the role and whether he knew all along that Snoke was actually Emperor Palpatine from beyond the grave the whole time. Plus, fans in Russia have built a life-size version of the Razor Crest ship. Check it all out in this episode of The Force Geeks!
