We got a cool featurette for the upcoming Solo film called Becoming Solo. Here's what happens:
- Luke is on vacation and podcasting from his rental car in the dark.
- Dallas is back and got some great stuff. The Funko kids will be able to go to college.
- The 6" Black Series dewback is awesome. Eric takes stupid pictures of his for his Facebook page.
- Stand up and shout.
- We discuss Becoming Solo. There is some excellent footage in there!
- A new animated series is on the way.
- Issue #15 of the Darth Vader comic is out. It's fishy. A lot of people die. SpongeBob SquarePants comes up.
- Listener emails and voicemails. Josh and Richie ask, "Where are the toys?" JP postulates on Resistance, the upcoming animated series. King Tom wonders if Ahch-To will show up in more stories.
- Eric takes pictures of action figures and comes up with crazy storylines for them.

We FINALLY get to the novelization of The Last Jedi by Jason Fry. Here's what happens:
- Dallas went to see an NBA playoff game, so Luke and Eric are joined by King Tom (@TomChansky) and Nick Palmer (@BlueAce1878)!
- Nick has completed his 6" Black Series collection. Holy crap.
- Eric got some stuff on clearance. No dewback though.
- We talk about the novelization of The Last Jedi. Did add to the experience? Best parts? What could we live with out? Eric says he liked it, but did he?
- Where is everyone at with Solo: A Star Wars Story? Are the tickets really going on sale on May 4th?
- Listener voicemails. King Tom sent in a voicemail and ended up being a guest host. It's like that scene where there are 1000 Reys looking in the mirror.
- You think you found love, but you're standing in The Pit.

- The new tv spot for Solo is a good one.
- Darth Vader does a pretty solid Jaws imitation.
- Lee-Char, the king of Mon Cala, is a sea monkey, just like in the old comic book ads.
- Is there a pending Star Wars Celebration announcement? Will May 4th be the day they finally tell us when we'll be happy again?
- Macklin, you son of a bitch.
- Great listener emails and voicemails! Thank you Andy, King Tom (we love you) and JP!
- San Dimas high school football rules.

There's a new trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story, baby! Here's what happens:
- Luke is back, baby! He's back!
- Being sick last week didn't get Luke any sympathy toys. Dallas scored a bunch of stuff. Eric cried to his wife until he finally got his way.
- We discuss the new Solo trailer in classic TBM fashion. The music! The visuals! LANDO SPEAKS!
- The Bad Motivators Star Wars Tweet of the Week comes from our friend Emily Lind (@eflind). You can check the Tweet out here. She talks to Pablo Hidalgo about people who hate things so much that they can't stand the thought of someone else liking it. It's a great thread.
- People on Twitter continue to be pains in the ass! Who saw that coming?
- Being happy is more pleasant than being mad.

The bonus features on The Last Jedi home release are awesome! Here's what happens:
- Luke was sick and had to sit this one out. He was the only one of us three that had done every show up until now! Get better, buddy.
- Luke got each of the three Motivators the Rey on Crait set, and Dallas returned the favor by scoring us the Kylo Ren in the Throne Room set! YES!!!
- Eric brought home a haul from Target. Yay clearance!
- The Hasbro Sail Barge is a go. I repeat, it's a go.
- Dallas and Eric talk about the remaining bonus features of The Last Jedi home release. There is some great stuff in there! It's definitely worth multiple views.
- Eric forgets all about The Bad Motivators Star Wars Tweet of the Week this week. It was a good one, too. Come on, Strothers. Get your head in the game.
- Listener emails and voicemails. Turbo is back. Richie reminds us that the Black Series toys aren't going to be valuable and we should be playing with them. JP and Josh ask about Solo. King Tom trolls Eric, possibly unintentionally. Possibly.

The hard copy home release of The Last Jedi is finally out! Here's what happens:
- Eric figured out the Graflex lightsaber hilt situation in The Last Jedi that he talked about last week.
- Luke had a KILLER birthday.
- What's up with the HasLab sail barge? It's getting there.
- Phil Lord and Chris Miller will be credited as Executive Producers on Solo. An article from Vulture makes some other claims, but its pretty sketchy.

- We discuss The Director and the Jedi at length.
- Dallas can't get over the crystal foxes.
- The Bad Motivators Star Wars Tweet of the Week comes from skywalker (@tolkenianjedi). You can check the Tweet out here. It features a clip of a video from Entertainment Tonight in which Ash Crossan interviews Mark Hamill, and they discuss his final scene with Carrie Fisher. It's SO good.
- We got an email from Emily Lind, which isn't even a thinly veiled vehicle for bragging about a SWEET autographed Director Krennic variant cover comic.
- Stay around after the end for a pretty serious discussion.

- What's up with the HasLab sail barge?

- Eight episodes of Forces of Destiny dropped. What did we think of them? What do you think of them?
- Mark Hamill enjoyed St. Patrick's Day in Ireland. He has some things to say about Episode IX in a fun spot interview with ABC. Come on, J.J., don't let us down!
- Is the music score-only version of The Last Jedi only available for a limited time via Movies Anywhere?
- The Bad Motivators Star Wars Tweet of the Week comes from Noemi Pataki (@shan_the_druid). You can check the Tweet out here. She asks one Mr. Chuck Wendig about Mr. Bones.
- Listener emails and voicemails, featuring King Tom, Sam Scorsone, JP and Josh Nelson.
- Some final thoughts on the Wars.
- Be sure to watch The Director and the Jedi, the feature-length documentary on the making of The Last Jedi. It's so, so good!
