88. This is the Way Podcast July 2022 News Update
Ah, vacation. It's been nice; enjoying nature and experiencing summer somewhere other than in 95 degree heat and 70% humidity all the time. Now that's we are back at the rebel base, we wanted to collect some thoughts about recent "news" (if you can call it that) and get in the mental space preparing for Andor AND The Bad Batch, season two.
I hope this episode is the first and last time I ever recommend AGAINST reading or giving business to Star Wars, but Disney better stop with the agenda or I'm going to have to rethink my fandom. I'm definitely not a fan of Disney politics and my hope is that the evil empire of Disney is stopped by a rebellion of the fans.
I'm not holding my breath. There's not enough incentive to continue to advocate AGAINST something. In fact, Disney apologists have done a wonderful job of characterizing people that do as "troublemakers" and "bullies" and "haters" and enough people seem to support that line of thinking that it seems hopeless that things will go back to how they were before: where everyone could imagine their own slice of the galaxy, free of the agendas of others. Now, it's "you better like it or you're not with us" and silly me, I thought that's what all this fighting was in the first place.
We still don’t have any podcast recommendations. That's fine. It was a good idea poorly received. This is the Way Podcast will still consider promoting good people on our own channel, but we won't go asking anymore after this episode.
