If all you want for Christmas is a Corellian fighter, we've got you covered. This week on BNQ, Matt, Ed, and Josh examine the ships of Star Wars and look at the best and worst of the bunch. From the smallest TIE Fighter to the Super Star Destroyer, we run the gamut in this discussion. Plus, our panel analyzes why we care so much about ships in our favorite science fiction franchises.
(This episode was recorded prior to last week's crossover with Beltway Banthas, which is why Stephen is not included in our special guest thank you notes this week. We will rectify this omission on an upcoming episode.)
Big Nerdy Recommendation: The Comoran Strike Mysteries by Robert Galbraith (pseudonym for J.K. Rowling)
Note on spoilers: This episode DOES NOT spoil Rogue One! We recorded it before Rogue One was released. However, everything else in the Star Wars universe is fair game.
Hashtags of the week: #GungansOnly; #EpicOfChewbacca; #50ShadesOfFett; #ThankYouPoe
