Star Wars – The Start of Something Big For our twelfth season, we're looking at franchises and series of films that for one reason or another, we just haven't gotten around to yet. To start things off, we look at the original Star Wars trilogy. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we start this series with George Lucas' 1977 classic Star Wars. What hasn't been said by this point about Star Wars? It's a big question – what do we talk about in a film that seemingly everyone's already talked about? For starters, we chat about our first experiences with this film and how it shaped our youths. We also discuss the Harmy Despecialized edition, as those are the versions we're looking at for this series. What changes has Lucas made to the film over the decades, why, and do they change our approach to the film? There have also been spinoffs of so many types over the years. How does this film change with projects like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Obi-Wan Kenobi? Does it make certain lines of dialogue in this film not work as well? Or are we able to look past that? And how do we define what's canon? The cast is iconic by this point. Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Sir Alec Guinness, Peter Cushing, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Peter Mayhew, David Prowse, James Earl Jones. They all are as much a part of this film and this franchise as it's a part of them. That holds true for the technical teams as well. Effects, sounds, costume, production design, score – it's all a core piece of what this film is. And of course it all comes back to George Lucas and this journey he created based on the Hero's Journey. We have a wide-ranging conversation about the film but it warrants it, so revisit this great film then tune in for a great episode. The Next Reel – when the movie ends, our conversation begins!

Hold onto your butts! We're going boldy where no man has gone... wait that's not right. In a galaxy far away (Chid's Chambers in Philadelphia) we welcome a really wonderful guest Budd Anthony Diaz (@buddanthonydiaz) to talk the Star Wars 'Despecialized' Project.What's the Star Wars 'Despecialized' Project you ask? Harmy's Despecialized Edition is a fan-created film preservation of the original Star Wars trilogy films: Star Wars (1977), The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). It is a high quality replica of the out-of-print theatrical versions, created by a team of Star Wars fans with the intention of preserving the films, culturally, and historically. The project was led by Petr Harmáček, an English teacher from Plzeň, Czech Republic under the online alias Harmy.It is cool as hell and if you haven't heard of it and are into Star Wars you should really listen to us talk about it with Budd.We talk Batman past, present, and future (emo Batman), Budd's journey into getting healthy, all around a very fun episode that you don't want to miss.Support Budd's creative endeavors:Follow Bud on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/buddanthonyhttps://linktr.ee/buddanthonydiaz Follow us on Twitter: @CHIDSPIN / @SighFieri / @RoundingDownSupport the show

Cosmic Rainmakers, AT-DP’s, The Despecialized Edition of George Lucas’ Unmentionables and Breadless Meat Torpedoes!?! What the eff happened in this episode? Well we attempted to discuss Episode 5-8 from Season One of Star Wars Rebels and we mostly succeeded, but there were derailments coming from every direction. When we did manage to talk about the show, we found some great character moments to discuss and some even more gorgeous panoramic environment shots this week. There is even more McQuarrie love, some great nods to Star Wars lore, and wait, what the heck is a Dynamo Dagwood? Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join the wretched hive of scum and villainy as we take the low road to resistance on Episode Forty Six of Force Insensitive!Send Email/Voicemail: mailto:forceinsensitive@gmail.comStart your own podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=386Use our Amazon link: http://amzn.to/2CTdZzKFB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ForceInsensitive/Twitter: http://twitter.com/ForceNSensitiveFacebook: http://facebook.com/ForceInsensitiveInstagram: http://instagram.com/ForceInsensitive
Tom reflects on a week spent with the Despecialized Edition of Return Of The Jedi and The Mandalorian, and welcomes the first ever guest to the podcast, the inimitable Gabriel Gårdfeldt! Will Episode 5 be the Empire Strikes Back of the Star Wars Fun For Everyone podcast? Not much sister-kissing going on, but plenty of furry snow monsters!
Tom is happy to report that his love for Rogue One has been growing over the past two viewings. He also jumps into his first time watching Harmy's Despecialized Edition of Ep IV, and wraps up with why little critters in the foreground of establishing shots are important for genuine Star Wars feel. Praise the critters!
To Special or to Despecial? Why do we have to choose? Why can't we have both? Today on GeekFest Rants we dive into the Star Wars Special Editions and the Despecialized Editions. Join Carlos as he details the changes made throughout the years to the original Star Wars films and the efforts of one dedicated fan to offer the public a version of the films that resembles the original 1977, 1980, and 1983 releases. Let's find out who really shot first.
Star Wars: Despecialized Edition
In this episode you will discover just how crazy much we are in love with the Star Wars franchise. Yes, at one point Gomer connects some themes to theology or morality, but we let Star Wars be Star Wars, for the most part. ( I don't quote this article, but wish I had! Fun read for Thomists.)This is where we go off with Ring Theory and Darth Jar Jar Binks. If you haven't heard about this, it might break your brain or roll your eyes. For Gomer, he rolls his eyes. For Luke, his brain hath broke.Gomer reveals how many books he's read to prepare his heart. Luke reveals how much he's cried in anticipation of the movie. Then we mock George Lucas for a bit and Luke makes such an inappropriate comment, even for our show, that I had to edit it out. But, most importantly, CLICK THE PICTURE BELOW AND RESCUE YOUR CHILDHOOD FROM GEORGE LUCAS! (or watch this documentary on Netflix)And finally, what if you hate the prequels? What if a film student decided to rewrite history and suggest to George Lucas' finished script certain alterations that would make the prequels actually good movies with actual characters you care about and an actual plot surprise, rather than boring characters, stupid CGI set pieces, and the prequels simply explaining everything in the original triology. Here's a pitch for a new plot to Episode I, II, and III. When George Lucas ruined your childhood because of his own peccadillos, Harmy's restoration of the Original Triology in this Despecialized Edition will warm your heart. Click it to discover a whole new world. Lost Stars... Where Twilight meets Star Wars. Enough said. I read it just to find out why that Star Destroyer crashes on Jakku. This book chronologically starts with pre-Star Wars A New Hope and ends after The Return of the Jedi. This one wasn't as awful as the reviews make it out. Listen to it on audiobook and it's fine. The ending is not as great as it should be, but it's probably because they are setting up for more. This book starts right at the end of Return of the Jedi. This is a book about a video game about the movies. Yes! But it is good. It gives you a grunt's eye view of the Rebellion and is a great audiobook. This sets up the Star Wars REBELS cartoon show and is a good back story. The guy with the lightsaber was the last Padawan, with his Jedi master being killed by the Clone Troopers. This will lead into the Rebellion, as the green woman here is helping gather resistance fighters. Good stuff. A buddy comedy. The Emperor and Vader get stranded on a planet that yearns to be free of Imperial rule. This book's anti-Emperor protagonist is the daddy to Hera, the green girl above and in the Star Wars REBELS cartoon. It seems like everything is a prequel these days. Oh well. It's a fun story of Vader slaughtering things and the Emperor being all manipulative, but of Vader.
Note: there are no spoilers for the movie in this episode! Life-long fan of Star Wars, Petter Mårtensson, sits down with Breki the Trekkie to talk about their thoughts and expectations regarding the Star Wars franchise as we move into the final few days before Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Show notes and links: Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) (imdb.com) A continuation of the saga created by George Lucas and set thirty years after Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983).

Once again, Jonah Bailey pops in as our guest. He is a designer, comic book fan, and Trekkie. You can find him @jonahbailey on twitter or at his own site jonahbailey.com. He also blogs at Mutually Human. Jonah says we have to Google “Tom Cruise middle tooth.” Clerks The Animated Series hilarious Korean animation bit. The Canada Quiz! Montreal Sauce Pro Tip: Don’t Go to Kansas and Say That Chris randomly quizes Jonah & Paul because that’s what classy radio shows do. Who will win the coveted prize of choosing a tattoo for our imaginary sound engineer? One of the quiz questions featured this Pauly Shore music video. Another Paul de Leeuw hits on someone and gives out his phone number during a live broadcast. The binary joke from Futurama in Spanish because our interns are lazy. Special thanks to @peakwinter from #arkOS for the assist with an additional trivia question live from our chat room. Despecialized Star Wars Jonah watches the Harmy Star Wars Despecialized Edition. The original theatrical cuts painstakingly restored. Paul thinks there are 2 George Lucases? THX1138 George and Jabba “The Marketing Hut” George who sells action figures. Chris wonder’s if lightsabers will ever be replaced with walkie talkies like E.T. Jonah says Alec Guinness was Obi Wan. Guinness is an incredible actor and was honored as such. Jonah compares Star Wars to other movies that came out in 1977. Smokey & The Bandit, Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo, Saturday Night Fever, For the Love of Benji, and The Spy Who Loved Me. Everything Else Everything Wrong with Captain America and Everything Wrong with Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. We talk about the troubles with young adult fiction, Harry Potter and Richard Harris and Michael Gambon. Chris recommends the Fright Night remake featuring David Tennant & the new Chekov from the Star Trek reboot. Jonah convinces us to watch the original Fright Night because Roddy McDowall. Paul thinks Samuel L. Jackson looks bad in recent commercials. The comedian Gallagher invented the muscle coat. Surely this is what Ben Affleck will be wearing in the new Batman movie.
