Star Wars Explained - What to Expect in 2025!

[@45TRANSFORMERSFAN]

It's nice to see channels like SWE who do not care about the algorithm and are actually working to level up their content! Unlike certain others...

[@LilliBlackmore]

I'm so excited for the Essential Planets videos!

[@mathijsvann]

I remember you shifting your name from Star Wars Minute. It has been a pleasure to follow your growth man

[@NerdishNature]

So glad yall are here. Off to a great Sw year

[@Zero_Zero_0_0]

2025 may have had a rough start for most of us, but we can’t deny that Star Wars has been doing pretty great especially with Skeleton Crew. And as for Andor Season 2 coming out on April, I have nothing but my utmost faith with Tony Gilroy and the rest of the crew on how they’re gonna wrap the show.

[@jp03-03]

Skeleton Crew is an A grade Star Wars effort. Can't ask for more to be blunt (compared to some of the bad stuff).

[@robproductionsgames]

Thank you so much for all the great videos, looking forward to what you put out this year and may the force be with you guys!! ❤

[@Vulcanerd]

Mollie wants to rent a dunk tank and make Alex answer trivia… SOLD!!!

[@StuartLugsden]

I'm so happy your branching into other franchises.

[@darthhiggy23]

I've always thought TTRPG would be a great fit for you guys. Glad y'all are making the effort. Star Wars TTRPGs are what got me into those games int he first place. So glad you guys are doing well just making good, well produced videos that you love. There are a lot of us who love what you guys do.

[@nomnito2055]

Tabletop Roleplaying Series? That sounds great! I really hope you would give that a shot, maybe in the form of a short campaign at first to try it out. If "actual play", or a different format, TTRPG content is very cool and there is a severe lack of star wars (or even sci-fi) ones compared to fantasy. I can only speak from my personal experience, but enjoying the star wars universe in a roleplaying game is one of the best ways that the love for the setting really comes through for people, as they are free to explore, mix and expand those aspects they love the most. Sharing that would be lovely.

[@shinyagumon7015]

Big fan of the Longform videos

[@YayoHernandez-b1j]

Stars explained first of all great videos you made last year. Secondly, I really hope the skeleton crew cast come back in the Mandoverse and also in the future, I really expect and hope the acolyte comes back because we really love that show some of us do and that’s all that matters

[@egcarbone2410]

As much as I wish it had a second season, with how bombed it was and how divisive it still is, I doubt that it will get one.

[@HumbleAshe]

@@egcarbone2410I am not a super huge Acolyte fan (know many who are though) and am half half on it (half of the episodes were eh, but the other half were great), BUT I felt it wasn’t as divisive as people made it out to be. There were nuanced elements to it that made it more open for interpretation, but other parts were way misconstrued or twisted by many parts of the fandom as a means to just bash the show. And other times it was just way overhated; at minimum it’s an OK show, but really not enough to warrant all the hate thrown its way even *before* it released.

[@YayoHernandez-b1j]

@ Listen to hell with the ratings the hell with what people think if we some of us love it, that's all that matters. gosh

[@egcarbone2410]

[@ericeilersen]

There are SO many great things in here WOW!! So amazing to see you guys continuing to break the mold 10 years in.

[@myriadmediamusings]

Oooh a TTRPG vid is gonna be awesome. Also looking forward to Essential Planets. And screw the Algorithm in no longer allowing proper creation and creative freedom.

[@Paulovlyra]

Trivial tournament? 👀👀

[@dennisflood7246]

Love the biggest questions answered videos.

[@dts1999]

Wow, can’t wait to see what the future holds, very exciting! I’m so on board for the dunk tank idea!

[@kidort4601]

This was the best ad for a patreon ever. I will be signing up!

[@99jarjarbinks]

Damn, Alex! You and Mollie have definitely come a long way since the Star Wars Minute days! Happy for you both, and may you continue to put out great content. May The Force Be With You... Always. 😊❤❤ Also, more Indiana Jones Explained, please. 😁🙏

[@WhiteWolf496]

I'm super excited to go to Japan in April for celebration as well. I really hope we get an early screening of Andor s2

[@dinafoxm]

My only suggestion is that you hire an extra full time person to help with all of those new things, while keeping everything you're already doing (as you mentioned). I know in Murica it's different, but sending you some European free time is Queen time energy 💫

[@hdrock4533]

Am I the only Star Wars nerd who doesn't read the books or comics? Forgive me, I was publicly educated in Oklahoma.

[@MeanBlackjack47]

Holy hell, a SWE TTRPG? Yes freakin' please! This is the way!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Alex! 🌟

Are you gonna use Fantasy Flight's Star Wars RPG for the tabletop series? I really enjoy that system, and I think it captures what makes Star Wars stories fun with its mechanics!

[@StarWarsExplained]

I do too! Being able to fail but still have something good happen (or succeed and have something bad happen) is such a good mechanic. I've got a few ideas, some of them with a rules light system that I think will help me out for my first time running a game, but I'm not locking things into just one system. My plan is to try different things and experiment and play around.

[@isaacrebellion9893]

I hoping to see Commander Cody's story in new animated series coming next year, but I think Cody's story should moving to Hidden Path series, which is stores of Ventress, Vos, Lux, Rampart and other characters because Cody went Awol in the bad batch season 2 and leaving his brothers behind including Rex, wolffe and gregor who was different animated series like Clone Rebellion series, Hidden Path series is where Cody and Crys is only two clones appearances. The questions is How many characters have more story in Hidden Path series in 2026? Five Characters.

[@Vulcanerd]

All the Ghibli movies are fantastic, but the ones I’d personally recommend are Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke, Porco Rosso, MyNeighbor Totoro and Kiki’s Delivery Service. But, honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of them abd I’m sure others will have different recommendations.

[@StrayBardArt-offical]

YOU HAD ME AT TTRPG!

[@sirensongss]

really really excited to hear about a tabletop series! the edge/ffg star wars system is a blast

[@Jandrissimo]

Gotta take a dip in the Bacta tank anytime you get a wrong answer to recover from the damage to your pride lol. Love this idea.

[@mitchbros5245]

I know you don´t do rumors and that stuff, but how do you think Mando & Grogu is gonna handle Embo??? Especially since it´s heavily implied he´s alive as late as 34 ABY???

[@wesrose4258]

I’d be more than happy to DM/GM a Star Wars themed TRRPG for y’all!

[@PsychoStreak]

How have you managed to never have seen a Studio Ghibli film? That is shocking. I think you'll love nearly all of them though.

[@ralphheseltine8674]

When are the zoom book club meetings normally? They sound great, just trying to see if I’d realistically be able attend as I’m in the UK 😅

[@StarWarsExplained]

Usually Monday evenings at 6pm ET

[@nytwyng491]

Volunteering to help with TTRPG content.

[@josemaiz1651]

Embo is reportedly the main villain of ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ Movie!🚨

[@Cycopather]

Can't wait for Legends Book club!

[@BretMuckdogs]

Thank you for this video.

[@TheGwilliams07]

TIL learned that y'all have a discord server! Do y'all have a link to it?

[@DjStrong]

I'm here for it.

[@spedtchr25]

Dunk tank 😂

[@carsonreed9408]

I'm not up to date on the weekly Q&A's so my apologies if its in there, but are you guys going to do a Indiana Jones Great Circle coverage or playthrough or lore or anything? I always love when you do an Indiana Jones explained and have been hoping to see that video come through!

[@StuartLugsden]

Alex told me he's busy and his PC can't handle it.

[@Noble_S]

TABLE. TOP. SERIES. PLEASE. 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@PaulChristian-vh5rm]

I would love to see you all try Star Wars 5e if you are looking for a TTRPG. Its probably more accessible than doing the Star Wars RPG

[@platypusfox73]

Looking forward to that rouge one video. That's a nice surprise in the future

[@kineuhansen8629]

i am not looking forword to much star wars in 2025 but i love to see some new games announced and some new animated series would be nice tales season 3 perhaps tales of the rebels

[@npw1982]

Never seen a Ghibli film :O oh boy that is going to be fun!

[@cameronhead3504]

I would love to see cocktails of the jedi

[@RayOfTruth]

Nice.

[@chamberlainric6]

Yeah so I need to see that dunk tank idea

[@ZeroRoyale]

I’ll be honest taking the monthly update videos from free users kinda stings. That’s mainly what I’m here for

[@VitasVarnas]

Would like to see Loreplays come back.

[@jeffmiller6025]

Alex, I cannot believe you’ve never seen the canon Star Wars film, Princess Mononoke.

[@BrokenNooby64]

Okay but what about Zoom Call Hot Ones with Patrons where we try to answer things star wars

[@thezendu4550]

Trivia contests, you say? Hmm... Hmmmmm.

[@Ryguy0707]

First! Keep up the good work!

[@JediPastorAaron]

Are you gonna be doing legends books all year in the book club? I have wanted to get into reading the legends books for a while and I think doing it with other people would add to the experience!

[@StarWarsExplained]

Since there aren't a ton of books coming out this year, I think we'll do Legends in the off months, and probably multiple books at a time. Like we might cover all of the Thrawn Trilogy at once. I'll try to keep everyone updated on the scheduling.

[@bigzeno22]

I’ll see you in Japan ❤

[@jeffreycarman2185]

Fun times

[@A.I.Friends]

Hopefully nothing comes out from Star Wars Disney. Such a dumpster fire.
