It's the Calm Before the Con special! I dive into what I'm looking forward to at this weekend's Fan Expo Canada! Mostly Star Wars, but also some other things (Killjoys, Star Trek, yeah).
Some updates since recording this afternoon:
-Right after recording, I found out that Peter Mayhew won't be able to attend as he hasn't been cleared for travel after surgery. Totally understandable, but a bit disappointing.
-I don't talk about toys and merch much, which is why I forgot to mention my shopping list for this year. There's a good chance the Aphra SDCC exclusive will be on sale at-price at the official Hasbro store, so I'll get that. And if by some miracle a vendor is selling the Prequeltastic SDCC variant cover of Thrawn Alliances, then I'll grab it. And by some deeper miracle if I find the tiny needle that is #1 of the canon Maul Son of Dathomir in the giant comics haystack, then I'll buy that too. A shorter list this year but it's still good to have a plan.
I'll have a follow-up episode next week, especially if something at the Con prompts me to reflect on faith and fandom.
Until then, thanks for listening, and MTFBWY!
