Greetings and salutations, friends! We're back, and we're diving into COSPLAY, a creative pursuit that's near and dear to our sewing machines and hot glue guns.   Question 1: What is your connection to cosplay?   Sarah: It all started with Slave Leia/Hut-slayer Leia/Gold Bikini Leia and JediTink during 2007 and 2012 Star Wars Celebration Los Angeles and San Diego Comic Con Proto-cosplay: ‘80s Superman pajamas Still cosplaying?  Yes! Making costumes for runDisney events gives Sarah the challenge of creating cosplay that's still functional for doing what you need to do Bryn: The Cosplay =/= Consent episode of Skywalking Through Neverland inspired Bryn to put together her Brave Leia (Merida/Leia mash-up) for Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in 2015 Proto-cosplay: Wonder Woman Underoos Still cosplaying?  Yes, from home during the pandemic over zoom a bit making costumes for the kids Disneybounding! Outfits that mimic something or everything from a character using clothes and accessories you already have (see The Disneybound, BrynI had the name wrong in this episode).   Question 2: What do we want to learn about cosplaying?   LARPing! What is the difference between LARPing and cosplay? Live Action Role Playing: You create your character and act as that character at an all-day or multi-day event Cosplay: You make a costume of a character that already exists and display the costume at event or in photography Dungeons and Dragons Building cosplay skills!  Sewing classes at Joann Fabric Learn to make armor out of foam and stuff! (Here's the pattern Bryn used for Sylvie's breastplate) Posing without feeling like a dumb dumb   Question 3: What are you excited about regarding cosplaying?   Bryn's excited to cosplay/Disneybound with her son at conventions in 2022! No solid ideas yet, and we have to get started! Sarah's holy grail cosplay: Couples cosplay of Robin Hood and Maid Marian from Disney's animated film for Disneyland's Sweethearts' Nite this year Both of us are thankful for everyday cosplay items from companies like Elhoffer Design, Her Universe, and BoxLunch. Maybe Bryn will actually find some kind of fun workout clothes.   Bonus: Basketball is a peaceful planet, please.     About Totally Tell Me Everything   Two friends, one fun topic, three burning questions = lots of fun conversation!

"It makes us smile, but only because we are laughing at the utter horror.  We laugh to avoid the pain." (Mark Beall) "Words have not been invented to describe how bad it is." (Alex Carter) "So astounding in its lack of anything that could be considered reasonably watchable that it achieves something of an unintended, surrealist nightmare vision." (Rob Humanick)   We could go on with more and more reviews similar to these opinions.  But is The Star Wars Holiday Special really as bad as reported?  Does it really justify the reputation that it has? Jez, Craig and Stuart sit down to answer these questions. The three delve into Variety shows of that time, the plot, the music, the cast and crew amongst other areas to see if there is any charm and positives from this unappreciated 1978 special. The boys also draw up their own Holiday Specials, with a 'what if' type discussion, if Disney had released a similar type show after The Force Awakens. Will Poe and BB-8 deliver salt from Crait to the Resistance to save Christmas Dinner?  Will the 60 minute makeover team be able to rebuild Maz's castle?  Will Han Solo's send off be as crazy as Ackmena using a conga to clear a Cantina, listen in and decide for yourselves! Enjoy the show. We Are Generation Skywalker!

Happy Life Day, listeners! What? You've never heard of Life Day, well grab a wookie-ookie, gather round in our wookie living room that looks stunningly like a 1970s sitcom set, and we'll tell you the stirring tale of Chewbacca, Han, Luke, Leia, Darth Vader, C-3PO, R2-D2, Itchy, Lumpy, Malla, Chef Gormaanda, The Jefferson Starship, Mermeia Holographic, Ackmena the bartender, and who could possibly forget Art Carney as Trader Saun Dann, who is absolutely cruising imperial guards? Happy Life Day to all!!

Galaxy of Adventures is ushering in a new generation of fans, and we're ushering in memories of the mall as we find the perfect way to describe the importance of John Williams. This is episode 187 and true to form, it's a killer! People have come to a lot of conclusions about John Williams' contributions to film and especially Star Wars, but we think we pretty much nail it in this episode. If that's not enough for you to listen, we also talk about Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures and the turning point for new content, as well as some choice memories of hanging at the mall in the 90s. The Star Wars Party starts NOW! It's time for Brews and Blasters. Show Notes We’re off to the races early and often! We don’t backtrack.

After briefly discussing some casting news for The Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal is made of win) and the episode 'Synara's Score' of Star Wars: Resistance, Rachael and Kirsty delve into an extensive, beat-by-beat appreciation of the Star Wars Holiday Special. Highlights: - Utter disgust at Itchy's mere existence - Calls for female empowerment among Wookies - Confusion over who every non-SW actor is - Appreciation for that one Imperial officer who really likes Jefferson Starship - Serious respect for Ackmena, the hero the Holiday Special needed - An outline of a new Holiday Special for the 21st century, largely focused on the Caretaker society and their interactions with some despairing porgs (though also including miserable cameos from the main cast members). (Special tip - it's worth listening to the end.)

From the minds of Ken Napzok (Schmoes Know, Collider, co-creator of Jedi Alliance) and Joseph Scrimshaw (comedian, writer, host of the Obsessed podcast, Head Canon on Anchor), and Jennifer Landa (actress, host, crafter, contributor to starwars.com) comes the ForceCenter Podcast Feed.

It's our StarWTF!? Life Day Celebration! Today we look at one of the most INSANE Star Wars productions, the Star Wars Holiday Special... and specifically we are discussing Bea Arthur's badass bar tending character, Ackmena. She's the rough and tough nighttime bartender at the Cantina, who is wooed by a man which a volcano head... and did we mention that she sings to the customers? It's both wonderfully entertaining and completely unwatchable.Download Episode 10 - AckmenaAckmena was the nightshift bartender in Chalmun's Cantina in Mos Eisley on Tatooine. She was a favorite amongst the patrons there, as she was more approachable than the daytime bartender, Wuher. We also discuss our favorite Star Wars Christmas gifts from over the years.As well as a few things from our own personal gift wish lists.Happy Life Day everyone! Goodnight, but not goodbye.
