Episode #73: “The Falcon has landed!” may have been gushed by SpaceX officials following the epic upright landing of the FALCON 9 BOOST STAGE back in 2015, but little did they know that another Falcon – the MILLENIUM FALCON – would land a few years later at the happiest place on earth in Anaheim, California. We’ve got updates on Disney’s GALAXY’S EDGE and more including the Marvel release schedule for the next four years (10 movies!), pictures and speculation from the set of THE MANDALORIAN, and enough STAR WARS COMICS talk to put the producer to sleep. Plus Greg shakes the paint, SCOTT’S COLLECTOR’S CORNER debuts, and we drop a few choice f-bombs into Star Wars dialog.

The Wretched Hive Podcast
The show was born in the summer of 2015 when Greg, Steve, Niko, Dave, and their wives and girlfriends met at Barley Forge Brewery in Costa Mesa, California (Scott was absent that day, tending to the physical effects of consuming one too many Zombies the evening prior). The usual conversation, debate, and low-brow comedy centering around Star Wars ensued. Steve had the idea of starting a podcast, and much like the throbbing hangover in Scott's cranium, the idea hung on for dear life in his mind, refusing to leave. The five recorded their first episode under the original show title, "The Second Order", on January 20, 2016.
