In this year's fifth installment of Star Wars 101, Jeff McGee joins my English classes for a conversation about the stories, themes, and ideas that have made Star Wars one of the most beloved franchises in pop culture. Along the way, we'll explore storytelling, character development, and why sometimes the greatest lessons come from a galaxy far, far away. Because if there's one thing Star Wars has taught us, it's that poor planning has consequences—especially when you're building moon-sized battle stations. ----more---- Thank you so much for listening!

The Commentary Booth takes its first side quest in the Star Wars journey as Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey revisit Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as the film hits its 10th anniversary. Directed by Gareth Edwards, this 2016 space opera swaps lightsabers and Jedi for a gritty spy-espionage thriller, following Jyn Erso and a crew of morally grey rebels on a suicide mission to steal the Death Star plans.Jamie and Corrina break down why Rogue One still stands as one of the strongest entries in the Star Wars canon: its unconventional cast of unknowns, the grounded, dirty aesthetic that separates it from the rest of the saga, and the way it threads the needle between spin-off and essential canon without ever feeling like a cash grab. They dig into K2SO's unscripted slap, the uncanny valley CGI resurrection of Peter Cushing's Tarkin, the "save the dream" mishearing debate around Forest Whitaker's Saw Gerrera, and the multi-layered chaos of the Battle of Scarif. They also weigh in on Rogue One's box office haul, its origins as a scrapped Star Wars Underworld pitch, and where it lands in their personal Star Wars rankings.Highlights Breakdown: - Why Rogue One might be the BEST Star Wars spin-off ever - The emotional gut-punch of the Battle of Scarif - K-2SO's ad-libbed slap that broke Diego Luna - Do CGI recreations work? - Where does Rogue One rank against the original trilogy? - Plus: Ewok movies, Andor talk, and hot takes galore!Where does Rogue One rank for you in the pantheon of Star Wars films?This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

Star Wars opened on May 25th, 1977, in 32 American cinemas. The first cut had been a disaster. The director of photography and director were barely speaking. The ILM crew, working in a Van Nuys warehouse in temperatures of up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit, had burned through most of their budget on shots the director deemed unusable. The Tunisian shoot had led to cast injuries and a potential war with Libya. The director was hospitalised with hypertension during production. Its cast were convinced it would fail, as were 20th Century Fox executives. The odds were stacked against it.And yet... what followed was the biggest box office phenomenon in cinema history.But there's more to the story than how Star Wars succeeded. It asks what the film meant to 1977 America, to the New Hollywood generation it emerged from, and to the industry it permanently transformed.Star Wars wouldn't be Star Wars without Marcia Lucas, whose editorial instincts built the Death Star trench run almost from the ground up; John Dykstra and the young engineers at Industrial Light & Magic who invented motion-control camera technology in a Van Nuys warehouse, and Alan Ladd Jr., the one Fox executive who greenlit a film he openly admitted he didn't understand.It's a story worthy of a 350th episode.Massive thanks to Andy from Geek Salad for contributing.

Papercutz's The Mandalorian and Grogu: Danger in the Dark #1 debuts today as the Mad Cave Studios imprint launches the first of what's likely to be several Star Wars comics and graphic novels aimed at younger readers (and readers who are young at heart). We'll have a review next week after we pick up our copy of the one-shot at the local comic shop.Otherwise, this week should prove quite informative as to the state of play for Star Wars Comics, with SDCC starting on July 23 and Lucasfilm Publishing panels set for Friday, including one for Mad Cave Studios, but not one for Dark Horse Comics.Comics Discussed This Week:NoneStar Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:

Rogue One was the first anthology movie announced post the Disney takeover of Lucasfilm in 2012; the year after Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakens had enticed and delighted audiences across the world. The rogue one, you might say...Rogue One, born of the simple question "how did the Death Star plans end up with Princess Leia?" is probably most famous for its CGI recreations of Grand Moff Tarkin and Princess Leia, and its enduring of lengthy re-shoots to change the narrative of the third act and insert additional scenes.Grand Moff Tarkin.... well that's another issue entirely. At least Carrie Fisher was alive to approve her younger likeness....As a spin-off of the existing Skywalker Saga, Rogue One remains separate to the existing story enough to be talked about independently, but connected enough to matter in the timeline between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope.It shows the true sacrifice of rebellion; the nameless soldiers who gave their lives for a greater cause are given names. It's a powerful reminder on the cost of war, because we never hear the names of these characters again.Like all rebellions, it's built on hope.Right now, we could all do with a little more of thatThis episode was first published on: 11th June 2020Mentioned in this episode:From the ArchiveThere's no new episode this week, so I thought you might be interested in revisiting this slightly older, but no less brilliant episode.

One key supplier: The world of Shu-Torun, a lava filled, mineral rich world of ore dukes, magma submarines, and mining citadels.

The Stranded Tie Pilot Who Didn't Know the Empire Lost - Star Wars ExplainedHe fought in the Battle of Yavin, watched the Death Star explode over his head, and then never found out his side lost. His name is Qorl, a TIE pilot shot down onto the fourth moon of Yavin during the battle that destroyed the first Death Star. His squadron is torn apart, his ship goes down, his arm is broken, and the last order he ever receives is to land and wait for rescue. So he waits. For over twenty years. Alone in the jungle, one arm useless, he carves a shelter from a burned-out Massassi tree, rigs plumbing from reeds, builds tools from wood and gourds, and survives, still telling himself he's a soldier on active duty waiting for an Empire...that no longer exists.Then Han and Leia's twins, Jacen and Jaina Solo, stumble onto his crashed TIE fighter while training at Luke Skywalker's academy, and Qorl takes them prisoner to force them to repair it. His plan after two decades is to fly home and return as a war hero to a government that's been gone since before these kids were born. When Jaina tries a Jedi mind trick on him, it bounces off, since his mind is so rigid- it feels less human and more droid, which is kind of a cool concept to become impenetrable to Jedi Mind Tricks. They tell him the war is over, that Darth Vader and the Emperor are dead, and he refuses to believe a single word. To him the Empire cannot die. This is the story of the last man still fighting the Battle of Yavin.From the Young Jedi Knights novel, Heirs of the Force by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta.You can watch my interview with Kevin J Anderson here on the channel from Rule of Two. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's been a long time since the "Star Wars" trilogy of movies exploded into our popular culture like, well, like Darth Vader's Death Star. Millions of people developed a fascination for the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and, of course, the infamous Darth Vader. Hero Luke Skywalker became a Jedi knight and he learned the power of what was called The Force. Darth Vader, who was the villain, had mastered the power of the "dark side" of The Force. And then, decades later, a new "Star Wars" trilogy began, telling the story of the events that preceded the original episodes. So there's not Luke or Han or Princess Leia for a while, but guess what was still there? Yeah, The Force. And in subsequent movies, of course, still there. And what is The Force? No one's really sure, but it seems to be the spiritual power you can tap into to help you win your battles. I'm Ron Hutchcraft, and I want to have A Word With You today about “Star Wars - And Our Wars.” Spiritual power you can harness to help you win battles that you can't win with your own resources - that's actually a pretty interesting idea. Of course, our battles aren't about storm troopers or villains with light sabers. No, we're trying to make a marriage work, to beat the monsters of anger, depression, addiction, selfishness, or loneliness. We battle real challenges, not computer-animated fantasy foes. And as you face the battles raging around you right now - maybe even in you right now - you're having to admit that they are bigger than you are. Actually, there is inside us a deep desire for some power - some spiritual power really - beyond our own to enable us to be the man or woman we desperately want and need to be. But we need something better than The Force. That's a fictional, impersonal spiritual energy that only the spiritually elite can tap into. Our biggest struggles are actually against the "dark side" that's inside us. In our word for today from the Word of God, one of the writers of the Bible spoke about our dark side when he said, "For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do...I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out...it is sin living in me that does it." And then he speaks for all of us who battle our dark side when he says, "Who will rescue me?" (Romans 7:15, 20, 24) Thankfully, the Bible doesn't leave us there. The answer follows. "Thanks be to God - through Jesus Christ our Lord!" The "force" that we need to conquer the dark side is actually a Person - Jesus Christ, the One who gave His life on a cross to pay the death penalty for all the sinning we've ever done. His act of deep love for you and me broke the power that sin has had over the human race since the first man and woman took their lives into their own hands. We don't need some impersonal force or spirituality that doesn't really help us. We need a living Savior! That's what we need. The power of Jesus is demonstrated, above all else, by His empty grave there on Easter morning. He walked out of His grave under His own power! Now, look, if He can conquer death, the darkness that has stopped every person who has ever lived, He can sure conquer the darkness inside you! Jesus says to those who belong to Him, "All power is given to Me in heaven and earth...and I am with you always" (Matthew 28:18, 20). Man! Wow! He's the spiritual power you need to win your battles. He is the love you've been looking for all your life, and Jesus becomes your Savior from your sin when you tell Him you're putting your life into His nail-scarred hands. You can do that today when you tell Him, “Jesus, I'm Yours.” Then check out our website because the information you'll need to understand and confirm this is right there. It's ANewStory,com. Look, your battles have probably left you pretty wounded and pretty tired. The dark side has won long enough; it's hurt enough people. You don't ever have to fight those battles alone again, my friend. Jesus Christ - the Creator of every faraway galaxy - stands ready to fight for you from that moment that you open up to His amazing love.

Buck takes aim at the newly opened Obama Presidential Center. From its nearly $1 billion price tag to its towering design, Buck argues the project is less a presidential library and more a monument to the Obama brand. He breaks down the cost, the controversy, the architecture, and why he believes the center reflects the legacy of the Obama years.

The Barack Hussein Obama Presidential Library is now open to the public and it’s already being called the most hideous presidential edifice in American history. Some have likened the drab, gray, dystopian obelisk to a guard tower at a North Korean prison camp. Others have said ti bears a striking resemblance to a Death Star. It is also the most expensive presidential library in history. The original budget was $330 million but costs exploded to more than $850 million. And Fox News reports the final price tag could exceed $1 billion. But not everyone is all hope and change and yes we can. It turns out that a number of black contractors have not been paid. One plumbing company says they are owed nearly $4 million. The African American Contractors Association says they have never seen anything like this happen in the history of their organization. Are we really that surprised that Obama is not paying his bills? He stiffed black Americans during his 8 years in the White House – and he’s stiffing in them in the private sector too. By the way, if you plan on visiting Chicago, bring a valid form of identification. You’ll need that not to vote, but to gain access to the library.

In 1981, National Public Radio turned the biggest movie in the world into a thirteen-episode radio epic that went on to break the network's listening records. George Lucas sold the rights for a single dollar and handed over the original sound effects and John Williams' score, letting a full cast bring the galaxy to life in sound alone. Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels reprised Luke Skywalker and C-3PO in a sweeping retelling that expands well beyond the film — the original Star Wars as you've never heard it.Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Marcia Lucas has passed away. She edited the original Star Wars and won an Oscar for it alongside Paul Hirsch and Richard Chew. She's the one who told George Lucas to let Obi-Wan die, cut the Death Star trench run out of 40,000 feet of footage, added the ticking clock for the Death Star firing on Yavin, and kept the kiss for luck between Luke and Leia. A New Hope doesn't work without her, and most people don't even know her name. In this video I want to talk about what she really gave us. Rest in peace, Marcia. Thank you for everything.

Plus, the guys get into Texas Tech softball and why the program has turned into the Death Star of the sport.

What if humanity's understanding of the cosmos is only scratching the surface of a much bigger reality? In this fascinating and consciousness-expanding episode, Chris O'Connor joins Michael Jaco to discuss hidden cosmic mysteries, Saturn's moon Mimas, expanding human awareness, extraterrestrial possibilities, and the deeper spiritual and energetic connections between humanity and the universe. Drawing from the themes explored in his book Man of Mimas, Chris shares perspectives on cosmic intelligence, multidimensional reality, advanced civilizations, and the growing realization that humanity may not be alone — nor isolated — within the greater fabric of existence. The conversation explores the strange fascination surrounding Mimas, one of Saturn's most mysterious moons, often compared visually to the “Death Star” because of its unusual appearance. Chris discusses why certain celestial objects continue capturing the attention of researchers, experiencers, and those studying ancient cosmic symbolism and hidden knowledge. The deeper this conversation goes, the more it becomes about humanity's awakening to a larger cosmic identity. Chris and Michael discuss consciousness evolution, synchronicity, spiritual awakening, energetic resonance, and why more people around the world are beginning to question the conventional explanations they were given about reality, history, and humanity's place in the universe. The episode also touches on the role of storytelling, symbolism, media, and disclosure in helping people expand their awareness beyond purely material explanations of existence. At its core, this conversation is about curiosity, expansion, and remembering that the universe may be far more alive, intelligent, and interconnected than most people have ever imagined. This is a discussion for anyone interested in cosmic mysteries, higher consciousness, hidden truths, extraterrestrial possibilities, Saturn symbolism, and the ongoing awakening happening across humanity right now.

The Star Wars 50th Anniversary celebration continues on The Commentary Boothas Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey dive headfirst into one of the franchise's most divisive chapters, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.Set 10 years after The Phantom Menace, the galaxy is on the brink of civil war. Anakin Skywalker is no longer the bright-eyed child destined for greatness, he's reckless, emotional, and already showing signs of the darkness to come. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan Kenobi uncovers a mysterious clone army, Count Dooku begins pulling strings behind the scenes, and Padmé Amidala somehow ends up trapped in one of cinema's most awkward romances.Jamie and Corrina hold nothing back as they dig into why Attack of the Clones is widely considered the low point of the Skywalker Saga — from the notoriously painful script (locked in just three days before cameras rolled), to the all-CGI arena battle that left its own cast looking confused, to Anakin's legendary sand monologue that somehow became one of Star Wars' most iconic, even if unintentionally hilarious, moments.But it's not all criticism. The duo also celebrate what actually works: the subtle visual storytelling genius of clone troopers always moving right-to-left on screen, the sheer joy of Samuel L. Jackson demanding a purple lightsaber and getting it, Christopher Lee's undeniable gravitas as Count Dooku, the first glimpse of the Death Star blueprints, and a sly Jango Fett head-bang Easter egg that Disney has since made even better.Highlights Breakdown: - Why Attack of the Clones remains the most controversial Star Wars prequel - Breaking down the awkward Anakin and Padmé romance - The political themes and rise of Palpatine's power - Samuel L. Jackson demanding a purple lightsaber - The evolution of CGI and why parts of the film haven't aged well - Yoda's first lightsaber battle and “flippy-do” combat - Behind-the-scenes trivia about the rushed screenplay and production - Whether you're a die-hard Star Wars fan, a casual viewer revisiting the prequels, or someone who just needs to hear two people validate your feelings about this film — this is the episode for you.This week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

Return of the Jedi is a haunted movie. It is haunted most obviously by the ghosts of the past films: droids walking across desert wastes, fateful holograms delivered in desperation, deflector shield substations, robotic hands, and a Death Star hanging above the world.  But it is also haunted by the future of the franchise: further reliance on ambitious CGI, a subtle sanding down in humor and character, dozens of little creatures whose names are never said but whose identity marketing has taught you before you ever see the text start rolling across the screen. Star Wars, as we know it, has arrived.

The Devil Wears Ghorman Twill Four years of Star Wars spy missions have Andor (Diego Luna) ready to ditch the Rebellion with equally traumatized girlfriend Bix (Morbius' Adria Arjona). Can schemer Stellan Skarsgård keep his agents in position like the bugged antiques in his shop until he has all the Death Star intel? And is Mon Mothma too busy throwing her teenage daughter's wedding to notice best friend Jimmy Smits has been replaced by Benjamin Bratt? Listen Now to learn if the Now Playing Podcast hosts get caught in creator Tony Gilroy's Season Two spider web.

Do NOT confuse this title for another Caravan of Courage on the Ewok moon Before he was the martyr of Rogue One, Diego Luna was a desperate thief who accidentally lit the spark of the Rebellion in the 2022 series Andor. Is he better off making Death Star parts in prison with Andy Serkis, or facing the consequences of the Imperial robbery he pulled for chameleon Stellan Skarsgård? And can Senator Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly) keep footing the bill while Forest Whitaker, Denise Gough, and Kyle Soller follow the money? Join rebels Justin, Arnie, and Stuart for the darker side of Star Wars right now!
