In the spirit of the holiday season, we at Rag-NERD-rok would like to take this opportunity to remind all of our listeners of what’s important: Star Wars! Whether your preference is for the Original Trilogy or the Prequels, the Expanded Universe or the cartoons, this week’s episode is a celebration our favorite galaxy far, far away. And what would a Star Wars holiday episode be without mentioning that beloved Wookiee feast, Life Day? (There. We mentioned it.) Join Meyer, our resident Star Wars fanboy, along with the rest of the Rag-NERD-rok Crew and special guest host Will Wohlsen, as we take the ultimate journey into appreciating the franchise.

And may The Force be with you, always.
