The Ninth Jedi • Episode 1
August 6, 2026
Matthew and Erin kick off their Ninth Jedi watch-through debating a lightsaber that won’t turn red, a tyrant’s defiant last words, and whether the Jedi are really gone this time.
Erin grew up on the prequels and Clone Wars and has a LOT to say about all things Star Wars! She also cosplays as her all-time favorite character, Ahsoka.
Learning to build a cosplay has brought so much joy to her life, and she does all she can to share it with others.
Erin is co-host of Star Wars Generations on TruStory FM.
