This episode marks the HALFWAY point in the original Classic Marvel Star Wars series that ran from 1977-1986! We break down Issue 54: “STARFIRE RISING” from September 1981, which serves as a continuation of repurposed JOHN CARTER, WARLORD OF MARS artwork created for the cancelled comic series. Not wanting to waste unused artwork which was done by the same artists as the Star Wars series, Chris Claremont was brought in to write a new Star Wars story based on that existing art. Then Walter Simonson adapted art to fit these issues 53 and 54, and Viola you have new Star Wars!    We are not sure why this issue is called STARFIRE RISING, but it should have been called CRUSH ON LEIA, since the story revolves around Aron Peacebringer (John Carter) having an existential crisis over his adulterous thoughts on Princess Leia. You can tell the moment the art switches from repurposed John Carter to Star Wars towards the end of the issue. Please enjoy.   Today in Star Wars History - May 29, 2019   After a thirty-three-year hiatus, Marvel Comics continues their classic Star Wars series with the release of issue #108 - Forever Crimson. We covered this issue in episode 495 since it was a direct continuation of issue #50: Crimson Forever which came out in 1981. Forever Crimson, published in celebration of Marvel's 80th anniversary, encompasses five short stories that feature Jaxxon, Amaiza Foxtrain, and the droid-hating Valance the Hunter.     #54 “STARFIRE RISING"   Release Date: September 22, 1981 Writer: Chris Claremont Artwork: Walt Simonson, Carmine Infantino Coloring: Glynis Wein Cover Art:  Walt Simonson   Imperial General Sk'ar captures Aron Peacebringer and Princess Leia. As the two heroes struggle against their bonds, Aron discovers that his friend Delois, has turned traitor and joined forces with Sk'ar. Now Delois and Skar plan to bomb Aron's government - The Calian Confederacy.    When all seems lost, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, and Aron's best friend Kéral Longknife arrive to fight the Imperials. Leia finds Sk'ar's anti-matter bomb and begins defusing it, but will she diffuse it in time or will this world be wiped out just like Alderaan?    We take our Facebook Group Comments on the cover into account as we analyze this issue.

Here's what got us asking “what's the plan, Alderaan”. Maybe you've heard it before : “I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.” Okay but what was the plan here? And then what was the original plan before that plan? Join us as we ask the serious questions about just what was supposed to happen and what if 3PO didn't get in the escape pod AND what if Galen Erso lived? So call up Good Krennic, celebrate the love and listen today! JOIN THE BLAST POINTS ARMY and SUPPORT BLAST POINTS ON PATREON! COMMENTARIES FOR EVERY SKELETON CREW EPISODE!

We are very excited to have back on the show James Kahn, author of the New York Times best-selling Return of the Jedi novelization. Also on his resume - he has resuscitated a dying extraterrestrial (E.T.) and saved many humans as an ER doctor IRL. Kahn's writing career blossomed from writing the novelizations of Goonies, Poltergeist, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, to writing on TV shows Melrose Place, Star Trek: Voyager & a sitcom E/R with actor George Clooney (NOT ER!).    James just released My Jedi Memoir: A Double Life, an autobiography that uses the hero's journey in his Jedi novelization to outline the phases of his own life. It's a fascinating read available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. We loved reconnecting with James and encourage you to read his book.   THIS WEEK in Star Wars History 5/19 - 5/25   May 19th - 26th Anniversary of The Phantom Menace   May 19th - 20th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith   May 21st - 45th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back   May 25th - 48th Anniversary of A New Hope   May 25th - 42nd Anniversary of Return of the Jedi   May 25th - 7th Anniversary of Solo: A Star Wars Story   SPONSORS   Small World Vacations is an official sponsor of Skywalking Through Neverland.

  We break down and review the first 3 ANDOR Season 2 episodes, with a special focus on the “Dinner Party from Hell!” with Dedra Meero, Syril Karn, and his mom the emotionally abusive Eedy. Actors Denise Gough (Dedra) and Kyle Soller (Syril) coined “Dinner Party from Hell” at Star Wars Celebration Japan, and there is no better description. This truly relatable “meet the in-laws” dinner speaks to the entire series, as ANDOR is full of relatable moments juxtaposed with galaxy-altering events. Mon Mothma consoles her daughter while Luthen Rael ruthlessly protects information vital to the upstart Rebels. B2 plays tag with kids while Cassian inadvertently finds a new base for the burgeoning Rebellion.   Episodes we break down:   E1: One Year Later E2: Sagrona Teema E3: Harvest   Today in Star Wars History 4/21/1980   The Empire Strikes Back Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by John Williams, was released. Before the film's release the album had already sold three million copies. The soundtrack spends eighteen weeks on Billboard's 200 list and peaks at #4 on the week of July 12th.       SPONSORS   Small World Vacations is an official sponsor of Skywalking Through Neverland.

ANDOR Season 2 is just around the corner! But where did we leave off with Cassian and friends in Season 1? After all, it was 3 years ago. What really happened between ISB agent Dedra Meero and Imperial wanna-be Syril Karn? How was Maarva Andor weaponized?    If you don't remember, we are here to remind and prepare you for this new season that premieres on Disney+ on April 22nd. There is lots to go over especially how ANDOR crosses over with STAR WARS REBELS. We also look back at our roundtable interviews with Production Designer Luke Hull and Costume Designer Michael Wilkinson to see how their creations will add to the storytelling of ANDOR Season 2.    Today in Star Wars History 4/15/1963   Happy 63rd Birthday to Tom Kane! Tom Kane voiced hundreds of animated characters in dozens of series. To Star Wars fans he is Yoda and Admiral Yularen in The Clone Wars and did the opening newsreel narration for each episode. He also voiced Admiral Ackbar in The Last Jedi and Star Tours.    Unfortunately Tom Kane had to retire from voice acting in 2020 after a stroke.     SPONSORS   Small World Vacations is an official sponsor of Skywalking Through Neverland.

What would Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics look like if it crashed into John Carter, Warlord of Mars? This comic is your answer. On this episode we break down Issue 53: THE LAST GIFT FROM ALDERAAN from August 1981. This issue inserts Princess Leia into repurposed Carmine Infantino artwork from the cancelled JOHN CARTER, WARLORD OF MARS series, and boy, can you tell! Not only does it have narration in first person, it also has some scenes intended only for an over-18 audience. Make sure those little ones are nowhere near this comic!   Today in Star Wars History - April 9, 1984   Return Of The Jedi wins a ‘Special Achievement Award for Visual Effects' at the 56th Academy Awards. Cheech and Chong present awards to Richard Edlund, Phil Tippet, Ken Ralston, and Dennis Muren.      #53 “THE LAST GIFT FROM ALDERAAN"   Release Date: August 18, 1981 Writer: Chris Claremont Artwork: Walt Simonson, Walt Simonson Coloring: Glynis Wein Cover Art:  Walt Simonson   Princess Leia Organa investigates Imperial activity in the Shiva system, but her ship is damaged by a space mine. Leia escapes in a shuttle which crashes on Shiva IV and is attacked by a savage raiding party. A group of natives led by Aron Peacebringer (The Star Wars-adapted John Carter) and Kéral Longknife thwart the raiders and rescue the princess. Leia returns to the capital city with Aron, and tries to warn him of the danger of the Galactic Empire, but the warlord is not convinced that such an Empire exists. During a gala, Aron then learns the hard way about this non-existing Empire.   We take our Facebook Group Comments on the cover into account as we analyze this issue.

Sometimes an episode title is so out there and wacky, yet in some way it encapsulates the last two hours of your life that you just have to roll with it. This week is a freeballing free-for-all that mostly centers around non Star Wars topics, but we somehow manage to come back around long enough to maintain our Star Wars podcast cards. You can tune in for all that nonsense plus you'll find out how Quasi got his hump back, how to baste your butterball, and what exactly a Twi'Doshan is!

Season of the Force is upon us once again. NEW food, NEW merchandise, and most importantly - NEW Death Star popcorn buckets!! Join Richard and Sarah behind the scenes of opening day, where we interviewed an Imagineer, specialty chefs, the merchandise team, and Star Wars: The High Republic authors. We learned about the new nighttime projection show “Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Story” and saw Luke Skywalker walk amongst us muggles on Batuu. Most importantly, we shared the experience with all of our friends, which is what Disneyland is all about. Oh, and someone was the Rebel Spy. Can you guess who??   This episode contains interviews from the following:   Matt Martin from the Lucasfilm Story group and Michael Serna, Executive Creative Director with Disney Live Entertainment.    Chef Adolfo Salazar, Disneyland Resort Chef   Nataly Guzman, Season of the Force Merchandise Spokesperson   Megan Roth, Senior Manager - Event Production   Star Wars: The High Republic authors Claudia Gray   Alyssa Wong   Charles Soule   Cavan Scott   Zoraida Cordova,   George Mann   Today in Star Wars History 4/1/1983   Let's wish a big happy birthday to Matt Lanter who was born on 4/1/1983 - 42 years ago. We all know Matt Lanter's work as the voice of Anakin Skywalker in The Clone Wars and Tales of the Jedi. He also cameoed as Republic officer, Lant Davan, in The Mandalorian episode “Chapter 6 - The Prisoner.” A role we thought (and hoped) would be a recurring character.   SPONSORS   Small World Vacations is an official sponsor of Skywalking Through Neverland.

Who else LOVED the Netflix DAREDEVIL series?? We did, and we are so excited that DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN - Marvel Television's continuation of those first 3 seasons - is now airing on Disney+!! We've been waiting years for Disney to pick up where Netflix left off and now it's here. We'll give you some comic history of Daredevil and a brief summary of what you should know going in. We also break down the first two episodes and take a special look at imagery, sound design, and character journeys. Wilson Fisk/Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio) and Matt Murdock/Daredevil (Charlie Cox) reprise their respective roles and we were both blown away. FYI, there will be spoilers.   DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN begins several years after the events of Netflix's DAREDEVIL, and a year after Matt Murdock has stopped being the vigilante "Daredevil". Now, Murdock continues his fight for justice as a lawyer while former crime boss Wilson Fisk has been elected mayor of New York City, putting the pair on a collision course. This first season consists of 9 episodes total, and the first 2 premiered on March 4. Over the next 2 months the entire series will air, and we are here for it.   Today in Star Wars History 3/4/2002   Vanity Fair continues its Star Wars cover features with Attack Of The Clones.

Clone Wars third season gets its first four episode arc, even if one of those episodes is technically from season one, but we get more Cad Bane so who's complaining? Both episodes have something to love about them, from getting to visit a scenic Alderaan to listening to Anthony Daniel's have a great time as C-3PO, so even if the stories themselves aren't the best they're still enjoyable to watch.

Richard and Sarah review and break down CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD. And since this is the 35th entry in the MCU, we'll tell you some of the surprising Marvel films and TV shows you should brush up on before watching. This is what we wish we would have known going in. Please note that there will be minor plot spoilers, but overall they will help you enjoy the film even more.   We love behind-the-scenes nuggets, so this breakdown will include sound bytes from Kevin Feige (Executive Producer/Marvel Studios President), Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson/Executive Producer), and Harrison Ford (President Thaddeus Ross).   Today in Star Wars History 2/12/1978   The first Expanded Universe novel, Splinter Of The Mind's Eye by Alan Dean Foster, is published by Del Rey. Splinter Of The Mind's Eye is written to be filmed as a low-budget sequel to Star Wars. That is why it's set on the misty planet of Mimban. Mimban is seen onscreen in Solo: A Star Wars Story. We broke down and did a review of Splinter Of The Mind's Eye in Episode 407.   SPONSORS   Small World Vacations is an official sponsor of Skywalking Through Neverland.

We did it - our 500th episode!!! To celebrate this milestone we do what we do best - talk about Star Wars. We are so excited to take on one of our biggest discussions ever - comparing and contrasting all seven of the live action Star Wars Disney+ series. We go over the final confrontations, how each show progresses the world of Star Wars, how each series ended but left an opening for another season, and lots more. We look forward to seeing how your ranking compares to ours. Today in Star Wars History Cartoon Network airs the episode “Witches of the Mist” from Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Secrets Revealed Season Three. Written by Katie Lucas.  FORTUNE COOKIE: “The path to evil may bring great power, but not loyalty.” In this episode, Ventress and Savage Opress attack Dooku but he gets away. Opress returns to Mother Talzin who tells him to find his long-lost and exiled brother who will teach him how to become a powerful warrior. With his mission set, Opress leaves. Talzin then turns to her crystal orb where a fractured image of Maul materializes.  This was part of the arc that was shown at the touring Clone Wars screenings in 2011. This arc kicked off screening Star Wars television episodes at fan events.    SPONSORS   Small World Vacations is an official sponsor of Skywalking Through Neverland.
