<p>This week on <em>The Nerd Council</em>, we’re diving headfirst into the galaxy far, far away to examine where <em>Star Wars</em> stands in 2025. With Disney doubling down on its streaming strategy following the sequel trilogy, we look at the current slate of projects—from <em>The Mandalorian</em> Season 4 and <em>Andor</em> Season 2 to <em>The Acolyte</em> and <em>Skeleton Crew</em>—and question whether the storytelling still holds weight or is beginning to feel formulaic. On the film side, new entries like Daisy Ridley’s return as Rey, Dave Filoni’s Mando-verse crossover, and the Dawn of the Jedi film are in development, but will they restore the franchise’s cinematic glory or further blur its once-mythic event status?</p><br><p>We also explore the ongoing division within the fan base. Whether you're a staunch sequel defender, a disgruntled purist, or a casual viewer, <em>Star Wars</em> discourse continues to be divisive, especially on social media. We discuss how shows like <em>Andor</em> and <em>Visions</em> have managed to bridge gaps and win back some credibility, and whether the franchise can learn from recent stumbles made by the MCU as it tries to map out its future.</p><br><p><strong>POWERED BY ELGATO</strong></p><p>https://e.lga.to/TheNerdCouncil</p><br><p><strong>WEBSITE</strong>: https://www.thenerdcouncil.co.uk</p><br><p><strong>SOCIAL MEDIA</strong></p><p>Twitter/X: https://www.twitter.com/thenerdcouncil_</p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thenerdcouncil</p><p>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/thenerdcouncil_</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenerdcouncil</p><p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenerdcounciluk</p><p>Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/thenerdcouncil</p><br><p><strong>Email</strong>: [email protected]</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
