Order 2020-Awesome Village Episode 121 (1/8/20)

The Elders speak! A chorus of voices send a message out across the interwebs from the hibernating Village Elders. Meanwhile, their listeners suddenly realize they haven't heard a review on the finale of The Mandalorian Season 1 or the review for Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. In response the Elders decide to appease the fans by giving them both as well as the tournament to decide Awesome Villager of the Year 2019. (Camera tilts down as the yellow lettering disappears at the top of the screen).
