This week, we travel to a galaxy far, far away and ask the question: With all the films, TV shows, animated shows, comics, novels, and video games out there, is there too much Star Wars? Don't get us wrong, of course, we love the Star Wars Universe to pieces. But depending on which adaptation or spinoff you're talkin' about, mileage can vary. The Mandalorian and Andor were well received, but Obi-Wan and Ahsoka, not so much. And no one in fandom seems super excited after seeing The Acolyte trailer. We also discuss other movies that have been adapted for television like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Westworld, The Karate Kid (Cobra Kai), and What We Do in the Shadows. The conversation ends with a Highlander tangent based on the original films, the '90s TV show, and the recently-announced reboot starring Henry Cavill.
