The Hapes Consortium of 63 worlds is ruled by the Queen Mother, who wants Leia to marry her son, the dashing and wealthy Prince Isolder.Han Solo has always dreamed of marrying Leia himself, and now he makes a desperate, final gamble to win her back. Tricking Leia into accompanying him, Han flees with her to the beautiful and untamed planet Dathomir, where he hopes to win her heart.Fearing the imperious queen's reaction to Han's rash move, Luke Skywalker forms an unlikely alliance with Prince Isolder to track down the runaways. Soon Isolder, Luke, and Artoo will be at the center of an adventure leading to an awesome treasure, a group of Force-trained “witches,” and a showdown with an invincible foe.Written by Dave Wolverton. Narrated by January LaVoy.

Frodo had Sam. Luke had Artoo. Harry had Ron and Hermione. Side characters are just as important to a well-told story as the main characters are. So, how do you make a great one? And what's the trap, sometimes, of a side character who's more interesting, more active than even your hero? We discuss! Also, Josh recommends Love On The Spectrum on Netflix, and Ira recommends The Last Repair Shop on Disney+

Justin Leo Kennedy is back for another sound design deep-dive!

Chapter 12 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarAfter two foiled kidnappings on diplomatic missions, Leia Organa-Solo and Han Solo suspect a leak inside the New Republic government. They head to the Athega system to find Lando to get his help outside New Republic jurisdiction. Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker has been training Leia to be the first of the new generation of Jedi while struggling with self-doubt as the teacher needed to rebuild the Order. On a hunch he travels to Dagobah, hoping to find something left behind by Master Yoda. Ultimately disappointed, Luke recovers a nondescript gadget from the Dark Side Cave, but suspects Lando can help with deciphering the script written on the side. Meanwhile, Grand Admiral Thrawn's schemes are coming to a head as he has allied himself with Master Joruus C'baoth, clone and Dark Jedi. Captain Pelleaon devises a plan to disseminate information that might lure Luke to C'baoth instead of sending more noghri to capture him. Finally, Mara Jade has apprenticed to the smuggler Talon Karrde as they play cat-and-mouse to tease information out of each other.Chapter 12The Millennium Falcon arrives in the Athega system with Han and Leia looking to meet with Lando. Luke arrives at just the right time for them to take the slow sublight trip to the inter system since neither the Falcon nor Luke's X-Wing have slave circuits needed to precisely co-ordinate inbound ships with their shielding escort. Once at Nkllon, though, the Empire shows up suddenly. Bad timing or are they being tracked?LinksSunshine (2007) - IMDb X Wing Cross-SectionA/SF-01 B-wing starfighter | WookieepediaHan Solo and Chewbacca Are like an Owner and a Dog If Han Is the Dog | The Mary Sue  Chadra-Fan | Wookieepedia Share and SupportShare this episode (cross platform link)Discuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteRelease DocumentTranscriptHosts' ThoughtsLando blocked!Holy shit Chewbacca said something!The concept of Nkllon is really cool.Did the author seriously refer to Chewie as “the copilot?” DISRESPECT.Is Luke seriously going to sit in his X-wing for 10 hours?Hilarious that they positively identify Luke by having Threepio talk to Artoo.So cool to see reclaimed Imperial vessels and vehicles making up the mining complex.WHAT A CLIFFHANGERSupport the Show.

Our JFC is "Friendship shows us who we really are." The radio announcer lets us know that in hopes of ending the war, the first ever official meeting between the Republic and Separatists is being held on the neutral world of Mandalore. The negotiations seem to be going poorly, with the Separatists having a ridiculous demand that their government be recognized as legitimate. We all know that the Republic is not a fan of self-determination. But just then, our old friend Lux Bonteri (remember him?) jumps in to announce that Dooku killed his mother, Senator Mina Bonteri. Separatist security arrests him. Dooku appears via spacetime to taunt Lux before ordering his death, but he is saved at the last moment by his good friend Ahsoka -- being "discreet" just like Padme asked. They escape on a Republic shuttle; when Ahsoka says they'll be returning to Coruscant, Lux tases her and heads for the planet Carlac, where he says others want to help him kill Dooku. When they arrive on Carlac, a world of both snow and cherry blossoms(?), Lux has hidden Ahsoka's lightsabers (it turns out they're just in a cabinet), so they wander off unarmed and are met by a bunch of members of the Mandalorian Death Watch, including Bo Katan, who might be important later. Lux is there to sell out Dooku; Ahsoka plays it cool by pretending to be his fiancé. They head off to an occupied town, where the Death Watch prove they are the bad kind of terrorists, by torturing helpless droids, who I guess are people now. Lux explains the plan - he traced Dooku over Spacetime(tm), and is selling the location to Deathwatch, who want him dead. Ahsoka is skeptical, as the Death Watch are bad, mm-kay? To prove her point, their leader, Pre Vizsla arrives; he wants to kill Dooku for vaguely explained reasons about things that happened offscreen.Artoo is assigned to repair the tortured droids for more torture later while Ahsoka is held captive with a group of native Ming Po people, who are definitely not awkward stereotypes, who explain as almost the first word out of their mouths to a stranger that they are a simple people who trust easily and were betrayed. You know, small talk. Later that day, the Ming Po chieftain, Pieter, demands Death Watch leave and return the captives. Pre agrees to do so at sunrise, but it turns out he just means he's going to kill the captives and burn down the village. The carnage upsets Ahsoka, who reveals herself but is captured. Fortunately, Artoo has rebuilt a bunch of combat droids, who stage a rescue while Artoo gets Ahsoka her lightsabers. The battle rages! Ahsoka outduels Pre by blowing up his jet pack, and our heroes try to escape on a landspeeder. Bo Katan grabs her gun and tries to bring in the cat, but is defeated in a fist fight. Ahsoka, Artoo, and Lux make it back to the ship, but before they can head for Coruscant, Lux takes the escape pod, letting Ahsoka know they make a good team, but he has his own path to follow and we reach the end.

IF YOU'RE NEW HERE: You're in the right place! On this podcast, we nerd out on the music & sound of Star Wars 5 cinematic minutes at a time. This season, each episode hyper-focuses on a single 5-minute chunk of A New Hope. Doing so allows us to get really specific about the composition, orchestration, motifs, underscore, ambience, sound design, mixing, dialogue, and most importantly, explore how the sound works in symbiosis with the film as a whole. You don't need to listen to these episodes in order, so feel free to jump around! This episode is also available on YouTube in video format.  Discussion Guide: 0:00:00 - Hello there. 0:02:31 - Layers of sound in Luke's garage. 0:06:59 - Luke's interactions with the droids and what that indicates about his character. 0:12:20 - Threepio introduces himself to Luke. Does he make a dirty joke? 0:17:06 - Threepio sounds so self-deprecating. 0:18:00 - Zap! Bloop! Cello. "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope." 0:19:18 - Hologram message looping but artfully mixed in and out. 0:20:30 - We discuss the "bigness"/drama of the cello entrance (sound clip example). This is "The Princess Appears" on the soundtrack. 0:21:34 - Leia's theme (and the difficulty thereof). 0:25:36 - Context matters when it comes to evaluating the impact/drama of musical cues. 0:27:54 - Parallel to Luke in his hut on Ahch-To in The Last Jedi. 0:29:00 - Cat bomb. 0:29:46 - Orchestration of Leia's theme while the hologram plays. Lots of beautiful space for the dialogue to lay on top. Orchestration as "pre-mixing." 0:35:26 - Recitative (the sung-style of dialogue in opera). 0:38:29 - Artoo is the smartest in the room. 0:39:09 - "Where'd she go? Bring her back! Play back the entire message!" 0:40:41 - The quirkiness of old robots (like R2) running on the same hardware and software. Aiden has a robot. 0:42:45 - Aiden talks about showing his robot Star Wars and how the robot tries to mimic Artoo and the soundtrack... 0:47:57 - Moving on to the Lars kitchen, comparing the ambient hums in the kitchen and garage. 0:55:00 - Our different relationships with scores/soundtracks, consumption habits, etc. 1:01:11 - Threepio name drops Obi-Wan Kenobi and Captain Antilles.

RD-D2 knew horrifying truths about Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Leia... so why the hell didn't he tell anyone? Calm is offering a special limited-time promotion of 40% off a Calm Premium subscription at http://calm.com/BIGQUESTION. Star Wars' R2-D2 has been at the center of the Skywalker saga since the beginning, from A New Hope through the prequels, avoiding getting his memory erased in Revenge of the Sith, and playing major roles in the sequel trilogy and the Clone Wars animated series. Along the way, Artoo picked up all kinds of secrets -- dark truths the droid never divulged to ANYONE. In this episode of Big Question, Erik Voss and Tommy Bechtold examine WHAT R2-D2 knew, WHEN he knew it, and WHY he never said anything. Was Artoo trying to protect Luke by going along with Obi-Wan's lie about Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker? Did Artoo know Luke and Leia were brother and sister? Did Anakin and Padme MAKE ARTOO WATCH?

Today's crossword is a tad unusual for a Monday - four 15-square answers, all to down clues. They are not particularly difficult, but without gentle crosses would definitely pose a serious challenge.While solving this last Monday crossword for 2020  we learned what MBE stands for, how to pronounce DOGE, but the mystery of why R2-D2's nickname is ARTOO, as opposed to ARTWO, remains unsolved. Detectives are on the case!

It’s staggering to think that Matthew Scott Hunter came up with a way to combine his love of clean floors and Star Wars before the marketing teams at Disney, Lucasfilm, and iRobot did. Using random household items he turned his functional robot vacuum into an Artoo unit that roams and cleans his home.
