Fictional character in the Star Wars franchise

We return with the back half of a little movie called Star Wars. We can finally talk about some of the most foundational moments in the franchise. The very first lightsaber duel--and its relationship to a little tv show called Obi-Wan Kenobi. The series' three protagonists finally sharing screen time. The Death Star trench run and its relationship to the Force and Technology. But we also get to talk about some of the stuff that gets lost along the way. Like about just how funny Star Wars has always been. How the Empire is already a bit of a send-up of bureaucrat sci-fi baddies. And how whether Lucas knew the particularities of their history or not, Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi show up with enough ambiguity and depth to carry years and years of storytelling to come.

This week on the podcast, we're setting up a bulb behind Darth Vader's head — because we're watching the Uchū Sentai Kyuranger episode "Space.17: Lighting the Dome of Darkness!" Who Zooms in for a nice little cameo? What's just too thick? And what can make the morpher announcer guy say "GREAT!"? The answers to these questions (and more!) await, on this episode of the Ranger Danger Kyuranger podcast!

On this episode of Movie Torture, the boys somehow turn Revenge of the Nerds into a full-blown discussion about boogers, mooning, prison sentences, and whether MTD belongs with the Alpha Betas or the Lambda Lambdas. Brad immediately hijacks the show by proudly announcing that if anybody on the podcast is Booger, it is 100% him, then follows it up with a Navy story about pulling a booger the size of a corn kernel out of his face like he just discovered buried treasure. Jacob contributes by explaining the emotional devastation of thinking you have a bat in the cave and finding out your nose was just lying to you.Once they finally remember there is a movie to talk about, Brad gets sentimental about Robert Carradine, because to him Lewis will always be a legend, a laugh, and a man who somehow made giant glasses look cool. The guys agree the movie is a complete 80s time capsule, right down to the outfits, the soundtrack, the robot side chick, and a fraternity system that would now lead to about 47 separate felony counts and a Dateline special.From there, the episode becomes a courtroom drama disguised as a comedy recap. Brad and Jacob basically spend an hour deciding which characters are going to jail and for how long. The nerds are somehow lovable and criminal at the same time, the jocks are idiots, and everyone in the movie appears to be one bad decision away from doing 15 to life. Brad repeatedly reminds everyone that Lewis is not surviving modern law enforcement, especially after the Darth Vader moon bounce incident, while Jacob tries to keep at least one foot in reality and point out that none of this is remotely okay, even if it is funny.They also stop the movie several times to argue about whether Brad is actually a nerd, which turns into a side quest about Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Brad's refusal to be grouped with “full-course nerds.” Jacob insists Brad is Lewis, Brad insists Jacob is Gilbert, and somewhere in the middle MTD gets promoted to Lewis's dad, which honestly feels right.Other major topics include: whether MTD ordered the Honda Civic as a lateral move, whether random mooning should be illegal, whether George Soros funded the nerd house rebuild, whether the Asian nerd's tricycle beer race was secretly the best event in cinema history, and why Brad's son apparently turned into a ding-dong-ditching athlete just to prove Brad can run stairs.By the end, Brad once again reminds the audience that ChatGPT says he's funnier than Jacob, which Jacob clearly takes as a personal act of war.
Star Wars news has a lot to do with Galaxy's Edge and Video Games. Then James tells us all about a guy named Obi-Wan Kenobi? Finally: The bricks are back in the sandbox, and this time they brought history with them. In this episode, we dive into “Lego Rebuild the Galaxy: Pieces of the Past”, the latest chapter in the delightfully scrambled galaxy far, far away. If you thought canon was sturdy, this special gleefully pops it apart like a Millennium Falcon mid-hyperdrive tune-up and snaps it back together in ways that would make even Darth Vader tilt his helmet. We break down the biggest twists, the blink-and-you'll-miss-it deep cuts, and the moments that had us pausing to say, “Wait… did they really just do that?” From unexpected character mashups to lore-bending brick wizardry, this installment leans fully into playful chaos while still sneaking in heartfelt beats under the plastic sheen. We also talk about how the special connects to the larger LEGO Star Wars universe, what longtime fans of Star Wars will appreciate most, and whether this story truly honors the “pieces of the past” or just joyfully rearranges them. Is it a clever remix of galactic history? A nostalgia-powered starfighter? Or just pure LEGO-fueled fun with a hyperdrive strapped to it? Grab your kyber crystals and your brick separators. It's time to rebuild the galaxy… again.

En este programa de La Guarida del Sith nos metemos en terreno pantanoso: hablar sin filtros de lo peor de Star Wars. Sí, ese universo que amamos… pero que también tiene decisiones, momentos y cosas que nos hacen llevarnos la mano a la cara como si acabáramos de ver un droide intentando pilotar un X-Wing. Entre cachondeo, vaciles y mucho debate, repasamos algunas de las cosas más cuestionables que han salido de una galaxia muy, muy lejana: ideas raras, personajes discutibles, momentos que dividen al fandom y decisiones creativas que todavía hoy hacen que medio internet se pelee. Nada de solemnidad Jedi aquí. Esto es una charla entre colegas donde el respeto convive con el humor ácido, la nostalgia y algún que otro sablazo verbal digno del lado oscuro. En la mesa del caos galáctico: Amelia, Fer, Gonki, Almu y El Mamado, repasando con humor y bastante mala leche todo aquello que, incluso siendo fans de la saga, nos hace decir: “George… ¿pero esto qué es?” Si te gusta Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, The Mandalorian y en general el universo de Darth Vader, este programa es para ti… sobre todo si también sabes reírte un poco de sus meteduras de pata. Prepárate para un debate friki, caótico y muy divertido. Porque amar Star Wars también significa poder bromear sobre sus momentos más discutibles.

Well as a Gen X kid I have a vast knowledge of movie wisdom. From the golden age of movies “the 80s” I reminded of an iconic scene. From The Return of the Jedi. As Luke struggles to save his father's soul. To turn Darth Vader from the dark side. Vader in a moment of clarity lets some truth through. He says to Luke, “It is too late for me son..you don't know the power of the dark side. I must obey my master”. Well that just about says it all. America has a new master. And America's sons and daughters may very well be fighting this war. Israel's war against Iran. With a knock on effect to all the gulf allies who feel abandoned by the USA. Join me as we deep dive into some of the darker sides of war. What master do we serve ?

Fangirls Going Rogue: Star Wars Conversation from a Female POV
A lot has happened in the opening weeks of 2026! Kathleen Kennedy retired. Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan were elevated to President and Co-President respectively. Josh D'Amaro was elevated to CEO of Disney. The Super Bowl featured an unconventional spot for The Mandalorian and Grogu. Disney, likely seeing the wrong type of reaction across social media, released a trailer for the movie a little more than a week later. Tricia Barr and Sarah Woloski discuss how all these events suggest changes on the horizon for Star Wars fans. Forthcoming appearances of Han, Luke, Leia and Darth Vader at Disneyland's Batuu appear like a promising start. The main discussion focuses on what the trailer suggests for the storytelling future of Din Djarin and Grogu. Who's their antagonist? Why is bounty hunter Embo's appearance significant? What do snakes signify in myth?

On this episode of The Comic Source, Jace welcomes returning writer Chris Condon for a conversation that begins with the launch of Brutal Dark for DC's revived Vertigo line, including how the project evolved from earlier iterations into its current form, the pulpy crime-noir and supernatural influences behind Ezra Cain's world, and the collaborative storytelling approach Condon shares with artist Jacob Phillips, plus a reminder to pre-order Brutal Dark #2 ahead of its March 25 release. The discussion then shifts to Image Comics' News From the Fallout now collected in trade, looking back on the book's creative risks, the use of back matter and design elements, the team's celebration event, and future possibilities for additional time-period stories with Jeffrey Allan Love. Condon also talks about his time on Marvel's Ultimate Wolverine, what it has meant to write the character, how the series evolved from its original plan, and teases what's ahead with Ultimate Impact: Reborn arriving May 20, including the process of building new characters and exploring the Ultimate Universe's Negative Zone, before also previewing his upcoming Darth Vader project and how he's approaching the character's "hammer" presence and tone. The interview also covers the newly announced Image series Of The Earth (also out May 20), an eco-horror neo-noir story co-written with Andrew and brought to life by Charlie Adlard with colors by Pip Martin and letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, before closing with reflections on fan response to Condon's Green Arrow finale, a brief update on That Texas Blood, and where listeners can follow more behind-the-scenes work via the Condon/Phillips Patreon and newsletter.Throughout the episode, Condon shares insight into collaboration, tone, creative risk-taking, and the balance between independent and Big Two storytelling.
Hi Sleepy. Tonight we float around in the sticky, beautiful weirdness of time. Physics time, dad-time, VHS-time, London-time. The kind of time where a star is a memory and a red light becomes a small moral philosophy.I talk about my broken English, my inner critic, and the strange rebel that keeps turning the microphone on anyway. We visit Darth Vader as my first real encounter with the word “evil,” and how movies keep trying to protect us from confusion, even though confusion is where the good stuff lives.Then it gets small and human. A bike lane in Stockhom. A furious policeman. A childhood horn-honk in Hawk Bay with Rune (or Sune). Being told off and how it can drop you into a cold well in half a second. Also: a stroller, a car horn, and the kind of accidental social crime you can't apologize your way out of.Drift off to sleep, Sleepy. Let the thoughts wobble and pass.Sleep Tight!More about Henrik, click here: https://linktr.ee/Henrikstahl Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It was my first meeting with the hilarious Christopher Titus - he's perfected a brand of confessional comedy that's certainly influenced many others! He joined me in the KBCO studios to talk about the worst he's ever bombed onstage and portraying Darth Vader.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The bricks are back in the sandbox, and this time they brought history with them. In this episode, we dive into “Lego Rebuild the Galaxy: Pieces of the Past”, the latest chapter in the delightfully scrambled galaxy far, far away. If you thought canon was sturdy, this special gleefully pops it apart like a Millennium Falcon mid-hyperdrive tune-up and snaps it back together in ways that would make even Darth Vader tilt his helmet. We break down the biggest twists, the blink-and-you'll-miss-it deep cuts, and the moments that had us pausing to say, “Wait… did they really just do that?” From unexpected character mashups to lore-bending brick wizardry, this installment leans fully into playful chaos while still sneaking in heartfelt beats under the plastic sheen. We also talk about how the special connects to the larger LEGO Star Wars universe, what longtime fans of Star Wars will appreciate most, and whether this story truly honors the “pieces of the past” or just joyfully rearranges them. Is it a clever remix of galactic history? A nostalgia-powered starfighter? Or just pure LEGO-fueled fun with a hyperdrive strapped to it? Grab your kyber crystals and your brick separators. It's time to rebuild the galaxy… again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Have you ever looked at a childhood book, a famous logo, or even a map of the world and felt a cold shiver go down your spine because it's wrong? Do you remember the Fruit of the Loom cornucopia, the Monopoly man's monocle, or Darth Vader saying, "Luke, I am your father"? If your memories feel fundamentally impossible compared to the current reality, you aren't going crazy, and you certainly aren't alone. Michael dives into the phenomenon known as the Mandela Effect. While some point to CERN's particle accelerators or "dark forces" as the cause of these glitches, Michael reveals a much more profound truth: the Mandela Effect isn't a mistake, it's proof that reality is far more fluid than we've ever been taught. Discover how these "glitches in the matrix" are actually invitations to stop being a victim of reality and start being the architect of it. This isn't just about misremembered trivia; it's about learning to jump timelines, shift your frequency, and rewrite the code of your future to one of peace, abundance, and light. Key Topics: The Physics of the Mandela Effect: Why the glitches are proof that we exist in a multiverse of infinite, malleable possibilities. The Radio Tuner Metaphor: Understanding how the "veil is thinning" and why frequencies are now bleeding into each other. A Miracle of Healing: Michael shares a personal story of how he used timeline jumping to "unbreak" his foot after a bike accident. The Observer Effect: How quantum physics proves that the very act of looking at your life changes its behavior and mass. 3 Steps to Jump Timelines: Pattern Interrupt: Using a "stop" technique to break the hypnotic grip of fear. Elevate Your State: Using heart coherence and gratitude to become "invisible" to lower timelines. Act As If: Signaling the universe with your actions to anchor into an abundant new reality. Becoming a Lighthouse: How stabilizing your own timeline creates a bubble of coherence that positively affects your family, pets, and community. The Ultimate Declaration: The mantra to reclaim your power. This is your spiritual field manual for a changing world. If you've been feeling shaky or afraid of the chaos, Michael's message will help you stop watching the news and start broadcasting a reality you are actually proud to create.

In this episode, we dive into Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader by James Luceno and explore the brutal, emotional aftermath of Order 66. We follow Vader's first uneasy steps as the Emperor's enforcer — wrestling with his new armor, his shattered identity, and a galaxy that still remembers Anakin Skywalker — while a handful of surviving Jedi struggle to accept that their war, and their Order, is truly over. From Kashyyyk's tragedy to Vader's early lightsaber clashes, we break down the character depth, the creeping weight of Imperial rule, and whether this novel is more a story about the rise of a Sith… or the extinction of hope.Description goes hereCheck us out on X @legendslookbackInstagramWe're back on YouTube!
The anticipation for what was to be the final Star Wars film, Revenge/Return of the Jedi was at an absolute boiling point in 1983. What was to become of Han Solo? Would Luke Skywalker defeat Darth Vader and turn from the dark side? Will Princess Leia kill a giant peverted slug in a gold bikini? These questions and more were wrapped up at the end of the original trilogy which brings the Emperor of the Galaxy to the forefront of story now with a second and even bigger Death Star.

We recorded this one live on #ScarifLive last week and dropping it in here this week. As I discuss movies and fandom in my day to day, I realize that as a kid, I wanted more of what I loved. Star Wars led me down a path of wanting to learn about ILM and Lucasfilm, etc. In turn I found out about Indiana Jones and Willow, Star Trek and countless other science fiction shows and movies because of my love of the genre. But I'm finding out that fans now a days hyper fixate on one aspect of an IP. No one talks about specific directors of special effects artists, etc. It was that curiosity that made me learn the names Ben Burtt, John Dykstra, Marcia Lucas, etc and that yearning never died. I brought a panel on to discuss how they experienced that yearning for more. We touched on how we learned about shows like Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars on TV as Scott put it and more. Are today's fans changing their need to reach out and seek more within the genre of sci fi and fantasy? If you love Darth Vader and don't know who Sebastian Shaw is then THIS might be an episode for you. Thanks for listening. Remember, we are a proud founding member of the RED5Network, and that's the scuttlebutt.
The Nagai rebels and the New Republic stand together in an effort to defeat Reyna Oskure and free the Fenril Consortium from her clutches while giving the nascent Republic the chance to keep growing and bringing new members into the fold.

Broadcasting from London (while Ireland slowly sinks into the sea), Darragh reports back from the British Museum's stunning Samurai exhibition — from 12th-century armour to pop culture dominance… culminating in the original 1977 Darth Vader costume. Back on the gaming front, Kev dives into The Séance of Blake Manor, a brilliantly designed Irish mystery set in 1890s Connemara that blends spiritualism, folklore, and detective work. Then things level up as both lads gush over Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, possibly the best Indiana Jones story in 20 years. Punching Nazis, Vatican conspiracies, and actually feeling like Indy? It exists. Somehow. And finall we descend into fog, with a brutal verdict on Return to Silent Hill, a shot-for-shot adaptation that completely misses the point of Silent Hill 2. A packed episode about history, adaptation, jank, redemption arcs, and why some remakes understand the assignment… and others absolutely do not.

It’s the annual discoveries episode! Thanks to Stephen and Aryeh for their corrections and suggestions this week! Further reading: Salinella Salve: The Vanishing Creature That Defied Science for Over a Century Three new species of the genus Scutiger Baeticoniscus carmonaensis sp. nov. a new Isopod found in an underground aqueduct from the Roman period located in Southwest Spain (Crustacea, Isopoda, Trichoniscidae) A new species of supergiant Bathynomus Giant ‘Darth Vader' sea bug discovered off the coast of Vietnam A New Species of easter egg weevil Bizarre ‘bone collector’ caterpillar discovered by UH scientists Researchers Discover ‘Death Ball’ Sponge and Dozens of Other Bizarre Deep-Sea Creatures in the Southern Ocean 1,500th Bat Species Discovered in Africa’s Equatorial Guinea Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to learn about some animals discovered in 2025! We'll also make this our corrections episode. This is the last new episode we'll have until the end of August when we reach our 500th episode, but don't worry, until then there will be rescheduled Patreon episodes every single week as usual. We'll start with some corrections. Shortly after episode 452 was published in September, where we talked about the swamp wallaby and some other animals, Stephen emailed to point out that I'd made a major mistake! In that episode I said that not all animals called wallabies were actually members of the family Macropodidae, but that's actually not the case. All wallabies are macropodids, but they aren't all members of the same genus in that family. I corrected the episode but I wanted to mention it here too so no one is confused. Stephen also caught another mistake in episode 458, which is embarrassing. I mentioned that marsupials didn't just live in Australia, they were found all over the world. That's not actually the case! Marsupials are found in North and South America, Australia, New Guinea and nearby areas, and that's it. They were once also found in what is now Asia, but that was millions of years ago. So I apologize to everyone in Africa, Asia, and Europe who were excited about finding out what their local marsupials are. You don't have any, sorry. One update that Aryeh asked about specifically is an animal we talked about in episode 445, salinella. Aryeh emailed asking for more information if I could find any, because it's such a fascinating mystery! I looked for some more recent findings, unfortunately without luck. I do have an article linked in the show notes that goes into detail about everything we covered in that episode, though, dated to mid-January 2026, and it's a nice clear account. Now, let's get into the 2025 discoveries! There are lots more animals that were discovered last year, but I just chose some that I thought were especially interesting. Mostly I chose ones that I thought had funny names. Let's start with three new species of frog in the genus Scutiger. Species in this genus are called lazy toads and I couldn't find out why. Maybe they don't like to move around too much. Lazy toads live in mountains in some parts of Asia, and we don't know very much about most of the 31 species described so far. Probably the most common lazy toad is the Sikkim lazy toad that lives along high altitude streams in the Himalaya Mountains. It's mottled greenish-brown and yellowish in color with lots of warts, and while its feet have webbed toes, it doesn't have webbed fingers on its little froggy hands. This is your reminder that every toad is a frog but not every frog is a toad. The Sikkim lazy toad grows about two and a half inches long, or about 65 mm, from nose to butt. It seems to be pretty average for a lazy toad. The three new species of lazy toad are found in Yunnan Province in China, in a mountainous region where several species of lazy toad were already known. Between 2021 and 2024, a team of scientists collected 27 lazy toads from various places, then carefully examined them to see if they were species already known to science. This included genetic analysis. The team compared their findings with other lazy toad species and discovered that not all of the specimens matched any known species. Further comparison with each other revealed that the team had discovered three new species, which they described in December of 2025. Next, isopods are common crustaceans that live throughout the world. You have undoubtedly seen at least one species of isopod, because an animal with lots of common names, including woodlouse, pill bug, roly-poly, and sowbug, is a terrestrial isopod. That's right, the roly-poly is not a bug or a centipede but a crustacean. The order Isopoda contains more than 10,000 species, and there are undoubtedly thousands more that haven't been discovered by scientists yet. About half the species discovered so far live on land and the other half live in water, most in the ocean but some in fresh water. They don't all look like roly-polies, of course. Many look like their distant crustacean cousins, shrimps and crayfish, while others look more like weird centipedes or fleas or worms. There's a lot of variation in an animal that's extremely common throughout the world, so it's no surprise that more species are discovered almost every year. In 2021 and 2022, a team of Spanish scientists took a biological survey of an ancient Roman tunnel system beneath Carmona, Spain. The tunnels were built around 2,000 years ago as a water source, since they capture groundwater, but it hasn't been used in so long that it's more or less a natural environment these days. The scientists quickly discovered plenty of life in the tunnels, including an isopod living in cracks in some ancient timbers. It grows about two and a half millimeters long and actually does look a lot like a tiny roly-poly. It has long antennae and its body mostly lacks pigment, but it does have dark eyes. Most animals that live in total darkness eventually evolve to no longer have functioning eyes, since they don't need them, but that isn't the case for this new isopod. Scientists think it might take advantage of small amounts of light available near the tunnel entrances. As far as the scientists can tell, the Carmona isopod only lives in this one tunnel system, so it's vulnerable to pollutants and human activity that might disrupt its underground home. Another new isopod species that's vulnerable to human activity, in this case overfishing, lives off the coast of Vietnam. It's another isopod that looks a lot like a roly-poly, which I swear is not what every isopod looks like. It's a deep-sea animal that hunts for food on the ocean floor, and it's a popular delicacy in Vietnam. Remember, it's a crustacean, and people say it tastes like another crustacean, lobster. In fact, scientists discovered their specimens in a fish market. Deep-sea animals sometimes feature what's called deep-sea gigantism. Most isopods are quite small, no more than a few cm at most, but the new species grows almost 13 inches long, or over 32 cm. It's almost the largest isopod known. Its head covering made the scientists think of Darth Vader's helmet, so it's been named Bathynomus vaderi. Next we have a new species of Easter egg weevil, a flightless beetle found on many islands in Southeast Asia. Easter egg weevils are beautiful, with every species having a different pattern of spots and stripes. Many are brightly colored and iridescent. The new species shows a lot of variability, but it's basically a black beetle with a diamond-shaped pattern that can be yellow, gold, or blue. Some individuals have pink spots in the middle of some of the diamonds. It's really pretty and that is just about all I could find out about it. Another new insect is a type of Hawaiian fancy case caterpillar, which metamorphose into moths. They're only found on the Hawaiian islands, and there are over 350 species known. The new species has been named the bone collector, because of what the caterpillar does. Fancy case caterpillars spin a sort of shell out of silk, which is called a case, and the caterpillar carries its case around with it as protection. Some of the cases are unadorned but resemble tree bark, while many species will decorate the case with lichens, sand, or other items that help it blend in with its background. Some fancy case caterpillars can live in water as well as on land, and while most caterpillars eat plant material, some fancy case caterpillars eat insects. That's the situation with the bone collector caterpillar. It lives in spider webs, which right there is astonishing, and decorates its case with bits and pieces of dead insect it finds in the web. This can include wings, heads, legs, and other body parts. The bone collector caterpillar eats insects, and it will chew through strands of the spider's web to get to a trapped insect before the spider does. Sometimes it will eat what's left of a spider's meal once the spider is finished. The bone collector caterpillar has only been found in one tiny part of O'ahu, a 15-square-km area of forest, although researchers think it was probably much more widespread before invasive plants and animals were introduced to the island. Next, the Antarctic Ocean is one of the least explored parts of the world, and a whole batch of new species was announced in 2025 after two recent expeditions. One of the expeditions explored ocean that was newly revealed after a huge iceberg split off the ice shelf off West Antarctica in early 2025. That's not where the expedition had planned to go, but it happened to be nearby when the iceberg broke off, and of course the team immediately went to take a look. Back in episode 199 we talked about some carnivorous sponges. Sponges have been around for more than half a billion years, and early on they evolved a simple but effective body plan that they mostly still retain. Most sponges have a skeleton made of calcium carbonate that forms a sort of dense net that's covered with soft body tissues. The sponge has lots of open pores in the outside of its body, which generally just resembles a sack or sometimes a tube, with one end attached to something hard like a rock, or just the bottom of the ocean. Water flows into the sponge's tissues through the pores, and special cells filter out particles of food from the water, much of it microscopic, and release any waste material. The sponge doesn't have a stomach or any kind of digestive tract. The cells process the food individually and pass on any extra nutrients to adjoining cells. In 1995, scientists discovered a tiny sponge that wasn't a regular filter feeder. It had little hooks all over it, and it turns out that when a small animal gets caught on the hooks, the sponge grows a membrane that envelops the animal within a few hours. The cells of the membrane contain bacteria that help digest the animal so the cells can absorb the nutrients. Since then, other carnivorous sponges have been discovered, or scientists have found that some sponges already known to science are actually carnivorous. That's the case with the ping-pong tree sponge. It looks kind of like a bunch of grapes on a central stem that grows up from the bottom of the ocean, and it can be more than 20 inches tall, or 50 cm. The little balls are actually balloon-like structures that inflate with water and are covered with little hooks. It was discovered off the coast of South America near Easter Island, in deep water where the sea floor is mostly made of hardened lava. It was classified in the genus Chondrocladia, and so far there are more than 30 other species known. The reason we're talking about the ping-pong tree sponge is that a new species of Chondrocladia has been discovered in the Antarctic Ocean, and it looks a lot like the ping-pong tree sponge. It's been dubbed the death-ball sponge, which is hilarious. It was found two and a quarter miles deep on the ocean floor, or 3.6 km, and while scientists have determined it's a new species of sponge, it hasn't been described yet. It's one of 30 new species found so far, and the team says that there are many other specimens collected that haven't been studied yet. We haven't talked about any new mammal discoveries yet, so let's finish with one of my favorites, a new bat! It was discovered on Bioko Island in Equatorial Guinea, which is part of Africa. During a 2024 biodiversity assessment on the island, a PhD student named Laura Torrent captured a bat that turned out to be not only a brand new species, it is the 1,500th species of bat known to science! Pipistrellus etula gets its name from the local language, Bantu, since “etula” means both “island” and “god of the island” in that language. The bat was found in forests at elevations over 1,000 meters, on the slopes of a volcano. Back in 1989, a different researcher captured a few of the bats on another volcano, but never got a chance to examine them to determine if they were a new species. When Torrent's team were studying their bats, one of the things they did was compare them to the preserved specimens from 1989, and they discovered the bats were indeed a match. P. etula is a type of vesper bat, which is mostly active at dusk and eats insects. It's brown with black wings and ears. Just like all the other species we've talked about today, now that we know it exists, it can be protected and studied in the wild. That's what science is really for, after all. It's not just to satisfy our human curiosity and desire for knowledge, although that's important too. It's so we can make this world a better place for everyone to live—humans, animals, plants, isopods, weird caterpillars, and everything else on Earth and beyond.

PRE-ORDER the upcoming book now: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-bookLuis and Camille banter as they dive into the concept of the Self in somatics. Along the way Luis offers 3 practices to work with finding the Self as witness. This witnessing allows us to be with a sensation or state and feel it rather than avoid it. It also helps us dis-identify from the state. From there we can experience something unpleasant and be with it rather than fix it. From this place of witnessing, Luis finds that others cannot shame or embarrass him. This realization brings responsibility, as others can no longer be blamed for his state. Practicing somatics, they discuss, connects them to spirit, which reminds them, as these things do, of Darth Vader and Yoda. Many religions require us to detach from the body to find God, whereas with somatics it's connecting to the body that allows them to connect to spirit.Camille dips in to her practice of savoring depression, a state that cyclically visits her in the dark of winter. She notes that if she identifies with it, fights or resists it, it will be prolonged. Whereas if she savors it, and practices sinking into it she can actually find pleasure in the experience.

Eric and Lauren break down the Disney stories fans are reacting to online this week, starting with a surprise blast of 90s nostalgia as the Disney Afternoon games creep back into the conversation. From there, they dig into Galaxy's Edge loosening up its timeline rules to bring back original trilogy characters, plus the viral Evil Queen controversy that sparked a much bigger debate about character interactions. And because the internet cannot help itself, they close things out with the Festival of the Arts nickname that absolutely should not work, but somehow does. HIGHLIGHTS An ESRB listing sparks chatter that the Disney Afternoon Collection could be headed to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and why Disney adults are clearly the target audience Why Disney continues to lean hard into nostalgia and how search trends and fan buzz often telegraph bigger strategy Galaxy's Edge expands beyond a single timeline at Disneyland, bringing back original trilogy characters like Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker The viral Evil Queen performer story and why Disney draws a hard line when a character interaction becomes bigger than the role itself The rise of “#EpcotFarts”, the #FOA vs. #FArts debate, and why Disney seems perfectly fine letting the internet run with it For this episode's full show notes, click here.

Skywalking Through Neverland: A Star Wars / Disney Fan Podcast
We usually avoid covering breaking news to keep our shows evergreen—but holy purrgil, major changes are coming to the Star Wars and Lucasfilm, and we had to dive in. Tricia Barr (Fangirls Going Rogue / Fangirl Blog) and BJ Priester (Fangirl Blog) join us to unpack two huge developments: the evolution of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and the major Lucasfilm leadership restructuring. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland is officially expanding beyond a single timeline, with all changes set to debut April 29th. New storylines on Batuu will span multiple eras—from the Galactic Civil War to the Age of the Resistance—adding Luke, Leia, Han, and Darth Vader into the land. Disney is also rotating new artifacts into Dok-Ondar's and transforming First Order Cargo into Black Spire Surplus. The BEST update according to Sarah? John Williams' legendary scores are finally coming to Galaxy's Edge. Music from the first six films—including the Main Title, the Force Theme, and classic motifs like "Han Solo and the Princess"—will now fill the land. Nostalgia matters, and this addition delivers the emotional Star Wars immersion we've have been craving since the land first opened in 2019. All these changes will fully take effect on April 29. And just one day after this news, another bombshell dropped: Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down as president of Lucasfilm after 14 years, returning to producing, while Dave Filoni takes over as President and Chief Creative Officer alongside Lynwen Brennan as Co-President. Kennedy also addressed long-rumored, stalled film projects in a candid Deadline interview, and we discuss in detail. Lucasfilm is entering a bold new era, both in the parks and on screen. We speculate what's to come. What do you think?? Watch the YouTube version here for the best experience. Listen to the podcast episode here.

Here are some highlights:1. Robert Downey Jr. did not improvise the line "I am Iron Man". It's in the "Iron Man" script.2. There isn't a DEAD munchkin hanging in the background "The Wizard of Oz". It's a bird, and you can see it move like a bird.3. In "Titanic", Jack could physically fit on the door, but it wouldn't have supported him and Rose. The main point of the scene was Jack's sacrifice, not carpentry.4. John Travolta's briefcase in "Pulp Fiction" does not have a secret meaning. Quentin Tarantino has said the glow is just for storytelling.5. George Lucas did not plan "Star Wars" from the beginning. Darth Vader was not intended to be Luke's father when he made the first film.6. Harrison Ford did not accidentally "shoot" the swordsman in "Raiders of the Lost Ark". It was planned. They wanted to simplify the scene by just having Indy end it with a quick bullet.

You remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison, the Berenstain Bears spelled differently, and Darth Vader saying "Luke, I am your father" — but none of that ever happened. From the JFK assassination to The Wizard of Oz, we're exploring the unsettling phenomenon where millions of people share the exact same false memories.IN THIS EPISODE: Do parallel dimensions really exist? And if they do, is it possible to travel to them? Two people have stories that might have you believing you can – one of them having “Lunch In a Different Dimension”. Meanwhile, a very strange phenomenon that has been reported by vast swaths of the population is known as “The Mandela Effect” which entails a mass misremembering of events, facts, or details. These can involve everything from pop culture to historical events, and often leave those who are faced with a reality much different than they remember in shock or bewilderment. Indeed, the history that you know, read about, and are sure is set in stone may not be so at all, and there seem to be alternate mysterious timelines of history that exist side by side with our memories and the reality we think we know. Could this also be related to parallel dimensions? *** While St. Augustine gets all the attention, a small island just south of the Georgia border hides a treasure trove of paranormal legends most people have never heard of. From cursed pirate gold and a ghost who slit his own throat to avoid hanging, to phantom shoes that wander between hotel rooms, Amelia Island might be Florida's most overlooked haunted destination.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Thin Veil Between Worlds00:00:50.456 = Show Open00:03:00.123 = Interdimensional History00:22:11.122 = *** Mandela At The Movies00:39:26.957 = *** Parallel Dimensions00:53:17.226 = *** The Ghosts of Amelia Island00:59:36.210 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakSOURCES and RESOURCES:“Lunch in a Different Dimension” by Jason Offutt for Mysterious Universe: http://bit.ly/2RXe3XF;http://bit.ly/2FSGH7r“The Mandela Effect” by Brent Swancer for Mysterious Universe: http://bit.ly/2Y3ZxCX, http://bit.ly/2XIOqQp“The Ghosts of Amelia Island” by Chaz CMP for Paranormality Magazine (link no longer available)=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
