CSP: Solo: A Star Wars Story

It seems like The Last Jedi just left theaters, but a new Star Wars movie is already here. In this episode, Bob and Stew head to a galaxy far, far away to discuss Solo: A Star Wars Story, the surprisingly great spinoff to the legendary sci-fi saga. Topics they touch on during the discussion include the tricky job Alden Ehrenreich faced in playing a young Han Solo, the public's muted reaction to the film, and what that shocking cameo means for the Star Wars universe at large. Turn off that game of holochess and have yourself a listen.
