Episode 74: Lightsaber Duels - Part 2

Starships, Sabers, & Scoundrels

Welcome to episode 74 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: Lightsaber Duels Part 2. The Scoundrels have their work cut out for them as they determine the best lightsaber duel from the Star Wars movies. However, there is news to get to first.

Star Wars News

Most of this week's news focuses on Star Wars Celebration Chicago. The Scoundrels discuss:

• The first announcement of additional guests for Celebration that includes Ahsoka Tano herself, Ashley Eckstein,
• A second round of guests for Celebration that includes the original wookiee and everyone's favorite twi-lek,
• A third round of guests for Celebration as foretold by a dark disturbance in the Force, and
• The potential for K-2SO to show up in the Cassian Andor series that is in development.

The Lightsaber Duels - Part 2

Once the news is done, the Scoundrels return to their lightsaber bracket. Episode 73 saw the conclusion of the first round. In comparison to the decisions in episode 74, those were easy. The Scoundrels start by finding the best lightsaber duel from each trilogy and then conclude with naming a champion. There is plenty of discussion and debate on this episode, and picking the best lightsber duel isn't easy.

Silence Fools!

Episode 74 ends with another edition of "Silence Fools!" In this edition, the Scoundrels:

• Respond to feedback from their page on the RetroZap Discord server,
• Discuss the results of the last Twitter poll from episode 73, and
• Propose a new poll for episode 74.
