We start this episode off with a discussion of Diz’s latest tussle with racists in the pool bar. We then talk about the Uber CEO’s unusual explanation for Saudi Arabia’s murder of Jamal Khashoggi. We discuss how corporations, even one’s that claim to be moral, are fundamentally dedicated to profits and investment. Finally we dive into the phenomenon that is Baby Yoda. We discuss the success of Mandalorian and the triumph it is for Disney+ and for the Star Wars franchise. We link it to the wider world of Star Wars and review the latest episodes. But we spend most of our time discussing Baby Yoda. We talk about Yoda and how he was developed as a character by George Lucas, his role in Star Wars, what Baby Yoda could mean for the story, and the commercial interests of developing a character like Baby Yoda.
