This week we dive into the idea of starting new hobbies as we get older. Why is it easier than ever before? How do online communities make new obsessions even more fun? And what in the world does Wes have in his closet? We answer all those questions, dive into the details of Corey's sim rig, and figure out which new hobbies are we trying out next!

"Hello there!" It's been a good 2 whole months since our last upload and we'd love to share some quick updates about ourselves and our progress on The Living Force. Big changes are happening and we'd love to let you know what's coming your way!

Since 2019 The Living Force has been delivering our take on Star Wars stories and content to help nerds everywhere dive deeper into the expanded universe. We've grown over the years with audio podcasts, live video, and recorded content and now there's a new horizon to explore. The TLF crew will reflect back on early podcasts, award shows, various hurdles we've overcome, and what we'll miss the most about the current iteration of The Living Force. Corey, Charles, Eric, and Wes are stepping away from the podcast for now but a new studio will emerge in the future. We can't wait for you to join us!

We have some amazing changes in the Youtini pipeline and TLF is progressing into a brand new format. The Living Force has been coming to you LIVE for over 3 years, and we love hanging out with our Star Wars family each and every week. A new schedule is headed your way but don't think we are going anywhere; it's going to be BIGGER and BETTER than ever!

Star Wars Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade by Delilah S. Dawson will be featured in this edition of Youtini's Roundtable series. We'll discuss how we consumed the story, the character and her importance to Star Wars, and the overall execution of the novel.

You've seen Star Wars trivia before. What episode did Yoda first appear? What are the first words spoken by Darth Maul? But do you know the details behind Star Wars BOOK trivia? Prepare to be astonished as the TLF crew embark on thousands of pages of knowledge to try and beat the Star Wars Book Trivia AI/Sith Lord!

Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View - Return of the Jedi is a collection of short stories that give us character points of view not scene in the cinematic film. We'll rank each of the stories using TierMaker to give our thoughts on which ones make us want to rewatch the movie most. As always, we're taking our chat into consideration on how we move these stories within the ranks. Let us know in the comments what your favorite stories are that didn't make the cinematic cut.
