Star Wars News, Avatar 3 & The Mandalorian & Grogu
After a bit of a hiatus, the Knights are back at the table. In this return episode of The Knights of Vader Podcast, we catch up on everything that’s been happening in the galaxy far, far away while we were gone. The big topic this episode is the upcoming Mandalorian and Grogu movie, as we break down the latest news, rumors, and what it could mean for the future of Star Wars on the big screen. We also step outside the Star Wars universe for a bit to talk about Avatar 3: the greatest film of the decade. It’s a laid-back return episode filled with speculation, fandom talk, and a Knights-style roundup of the biggest sci-fi news. ⚔️🎙️ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thank you to An Insperiority Complex for providing our theme song Contact us at KOVpodcast@gmail.com or instagram.com/kovpodcast Come mock us at our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/KnightsofVader/ Check out Zack’s other podcast: Cinemoddities, Zenger’s main show: ZengThis and Rus at The Unbelievers Podcast!
