    Star Wars is back on the big screen for the first time since 2019. But is Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian and Grogu any good? Eric, Grace, and Haley saw it together on opening weekend and then recorded this discussion minutes after the credits rolled. It’s safe to say we’re still stunned by what we just saw. As we process our thoughts, Eric praises an emotional storyline, Grace critiques the fight sequences, and Haley highlights an unexpected allegory. Plus, we share our reactions — some of them intense — to swole Hutts, faceless acting, and greasy-spoon sandwiches.

    We’re bringing you something a little different this time. In our first-ever Star Wars quiz show, Eric, Grace, and Haley take turns quizzing each other on topics of their choice, with questions range from mainstream to incredibly obscure. The competition is intense, expectations are upended, and along the way, we all learn useful information about tasty desert creatures, misleadingly named beverages, and Gonk droids.

    For all the attention that the Star Wars movies and TV shows get, one of the biggest ways that people engage with the saga on a daily basis is through video games. Hoth Takes isn’t exactly known for our obsession with that corner of the Star Wars franchise, but that doesn’t mean we don’t respect it — or occasionally partake in it. In this episode, Eric, Haley, and Haley’s friend Chris Estep discuss their history with Star Wars video games and take turns pitching new game ideas. Our games take players from the Tatooine hospitality industry to the center of the Clone Wars to the dawn of the Republic, illuminating — and in some cases redefining — what it means to step into the Star Wars universe.
