Episode 31, ERMAHGERD, IT'S ABOUT STER WERS!!!

As the title says, this episode is all about the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney, and it's a long one. We have a true Star Wars expert as our guest, Rich of The Rebel Legion and 501st. This show is almost 2 hours long, so you better really love talking about Star Wars.

If you're interested in helping out and would like to get a piece of your artwork out there for people to see, email us at show@actionnerdsgo.com and we'll work out the details.
