In this episode, Alex and Connor survey the video games that are currently considered canon in the Star Wars universe, and also explore how the interactive nature of video games allows for a different kind of storytelling than more static mediums such as books and shows. The hosts also lament the trend of ‘lost media,’ as there are multiple video games that have been permanently shut down where all we have to go on are screenshots, summaries, and the memories of those who experienced the game at the time. The episode also looks ahead to future Star Wars video games and hopes for the medium going forward.

This episode mentions content from and contains potential spoilers for: Episodes 1 through 9, Lego Star Wars (all games), Star Wars: Commander, Star Wars; Uprising, Star Wars: Battlefront (2015) and Battlefront 2 (2017), The Mandalorian, The Alphabet Squadron trilogy, Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire, Fallen Order, Jedi Survivor, Star Wars: Squadrons, Rebels, and Star Wars: Hunters.
