A millennial, Gen Z'er, and Gen X'er walk into a cantina...
Each of us came into Star Wars in our own way, at our own time, and there is so much we can learn from each other when those differences fuel conversation, not conflict. Join Erin, Matthew, and Alex as we share our love for the galaxy far, far away on the Star Wars Generations Podcast!
We’ve started the conversation. Now we want to hear from you!
Want to continue the discussion with us? Agree or disagree with what we talked about, or add your own thoughts? We’ve got options for you!
You can subscribe for $5 a month, or get a discount with an annual membership for $55.
Plus, you'll be showing your support for this show and all things Ethical Panda. Visit our home on TruStory FM to learn more.
