Published: Aug. 12, 2017, 5:07 p.m.

Hello again, Herders of Nerfs! The Council has fallen prey to Last Jedi mania. On this episode, we peruse new promo images published by Entertainment Weekly. You'll be amazed at what information is contained in these photos! We dig into the details and uncover the secrets of Ahch-To, the origin of Porgs, how Kylo's scar moved, and what became of Constable Zuvio. Really! We're just that good!

We also discuss the possibility of an upcoming $700 "must-have" collectible, and why Star Wars is the one franchise that can market such an item to general audiences and win. Give it a listen and tell us what *you* think!
