Someone Broke Mace Windu's Lightsaber...

This week, Mark is flying solo and brings you three news items with a little bit of Star Wars banter and a lot of fun!

At 0:00 Mark welcomes you to the show and talks about what to expect from today's episode before a quick tease about what we're talking about next week at 01:29 (hint: Bad Batch!).

You can become a supporter of the show and grab some amazing Spark of Rebellion swag at 02:17 and we kick the news this week off at 04:22.

Our first story is from CinemaBlend that reports Empire Strikes Back to be number one at the US box office, again (05:01).

Next up, Ross King takes a chunk out of Mace Windu's lightsaber live on air in Los Angeles - check out his hilarious face at 10:28 (and Lorraine Kelly's shade at him!).

Rounding out the news this week at 20:28, Doug Chiang released a brand new but unused double-decker star destroyer concept for The Rise of Skywalker.

Found a few Aldhani credits. Could have gone to Canto Bight and spent a night with a Sulustian at Space Hooters but thought it’s better spent here.
