Episode 51 of the "Knights of Vader – A Star Wars Podcast!"
Zack, Mark and Zenger initially wanted to discuss the oversaturation of Star Wars merchandise in the marketplace and how it ties into the demise of Toys R Us. Yet they got distracted with the retail apocalypse aspect of TRU and spent most of the time discussing TRU’s impact on the toy industry and what its demise means for all retail stores. They also get their first piece of hate mail and rant about it for the first 10 minutes or so. Enjoy this Star Wars themed podcast that has very little Star Wars content in it this time.

Episode 49 of the "Knights of Vader – A Star Wars Podcast!"
Zack, Mark and Zenger discuss Star Wars finally dipping its toes into the time travel “pool.” Is this a good thing or a fan service thing? You decide! But before you do… listen to us pointlessly bicker about it for 30 mins. We also discuss the seemingly arbitrary decision to change Avengers Infinity War’s release date & why it was done to protect Solo – A Star Wars Story.

Episode 48 of the "Knights of Vader – A Star Wars Podcast!"
Zack, Mark and Zenger discuss ways Rebels will conclude and how Disney-Lucasfilm will fill the Star Wars “void” between September 2018 – May 2019. Hopefully with something much better than what these guys can come up with! Spoiler Alert: Chances are it will be more brand dilution… I mean “Star Wars: Resistance™!”

Episode 47 of the "Knights of Vader – A Star Wars Podcast!"
Tonight… Zack, Mark and Zenger discuss David Benioff and D.B. Weiss joining Lucasfilm to make an undisclosed number of Star Wars films. Just what Star Wars needs... more brand dilution and oversaturation! It will be alright though, Kathleen Kennedy will fire them in the next couple of years and replace them with a “washed up” facsimile. On top of that, the fellas discuss the How It Should Have Ended video for The Last Jedi & how it incorrectly reaffirms what needed to be “fixed” about The Last Jedi.

Episode 46 of the "Knights of Vader – A Star Wars Podcast!"
Tonight Zack, Mark, Zenger and Eric discuss the "Solo – A Star Wars Story" trailer. For once, Zack is the most excited about a cynical Star Wars project. Join them as they dissect the marketing for this poor film, that absolutely no one will give the benefit of the doubt. Will Boba Fett show up in this film? Maybe! Is Boba Fett Moloch? Sure, why not.

Episode 44 of the "Knights of Vader – A Star Wars Podcast!"
On this episode… Zack, Mark and Zenger speculate about The Untitled Han Solo Film (a more unique title than what they went with), if it ever gets released that is. Zack puts on his Swami hat and makes a bunch of cynical plot predictions about Solo – A Star Wars Story. Enjoy 81 minutes of Zenger yelling and Mark sighing at Zack’s sardonic conjecture!

Episode 43 of the "Knights of Vader – A Star Wars Podcast!"
As "Last Jedi January" concludes... Zack and Mark are joined by Jack (author and occasional provocateur), to discuss Jack's thoughts on The Last Jedi and all things Star Wars. Contrary to what some might say, this episode is mostly Star Wars discussion and very little politics.

Episode 42 of the "Knights of Vader – A Star Wars Podcast!"
As "Last Jedi January" continues to roll on... Zack, Mark and Zenger decide they need more negativity in their lives and read some Rotten Tomatoes user reviews of The Last Jedi. The results are disheartening, demoralizing and, at times, hilarious.
