681 - Is Darth Vader Really the Future of Star Wars?

We (well, Chris, anyway) spent TWO DAYS inside the Lucas Museum….original Star Wars costumes, an N-1 Starfighter, incredible art, exclusive merch, the Skywalker Grill…and one frustrating surprise. Here's what you need to know before visiting. Hosts @albertmpadilla (ALL) @the.chris.atx (IG), @thechrisatx (TikTok) Pre-roll music by nojah1999 - eat your heart out, Pete Townsend.

Is Darth Vader really the future of Star Wars or is it finally time for someone new to become the face of the galaxy? With Hayden Christensen returning as Anakin Skywalker in Ahsoka Season 2, Albert and Kirsty ask what his resurgence means for the future of Star Wars. Should Anakin remain at the center of Star Wars and serve as a bridge for the next generation of fans or finally make room for someone new?
