   Episode 25: Filoni or Baloney?

   Dave Filoni, certified creative genius, is behind some of the best Star Wars stories ever told. But, like anyone who wears a cowboy hat unironically, his aim isn’t perfect: sometimes it’s a bullseye, sometimes it’s a bantha. In this episode, Ambi and special guest Peri ponder some plot points, arcs, and characters from Filoni projects in a game we like to call Filoni or Baloney. Spoilers ahead! (Dog noises in the background for the first couple of minutes only.)
