No Skywalkers to be found, but plenty of “swashbuckling adventure” according to its writer Jonathan Tropper. We'll dig into his recent comments and discuss how important Starfighter has become to the future of Star Wars.
Plus a round of our segment Will of the Force, and your live Star Wars questions!

Star Wars is a fantastical adventure in a galaxy far, far away, often a place for us to escape to. But a big part of what made Star Wars such a massive success was the audience’s connection to the characters.
