A lot's happened already this year. So it's worth re-setting this conversation with friend of the pod, Wajahat Ali, from earlier this year...   When there's such chaos amd divisiveness all around us, what can we do to cultivate a sense of hope and humanity?   In this episode, we welcome back Wajahat Ali, celebrated writer, editor of The Left Hook Substack, co-host of Democracy-ish Podcast, and author. Known for his humor and insight, Waj brings his unique perspective as a father, storyteller, and political commentator to discuss navigating the tumultuous political and social landscape of 2025. Together, Corey and Wajahat dive deep into themes of decency, empathy, and how to cultivate hope amid chaos. Episode Highlights: [00:02:00] Wajahat muses about earning a "Five Timer Club" t-shirt. [00:04:00] Discussion on the California wildfires and the politicization of natural disasters. [00:06:00] Wajahat analyzes the blame game targeting DEI initiatives in crisis situations. [00:09:00] Corey and Wajahat explore the role of empathy and decency in politics. [00:11:00] Wajahat reflects on hope during his daughter's cancer journey and how that translates to political resilience. [00:16:00] Star Wars analogy: How everyday people (the "Ewoks") can fight against authoritarianism. [00:22:00] A candid discussion on America's historical resistance to progress and how that impacts the current political climate. [00:35:00] The importance of rest and joy in sustaining activism and engagement. [00:54:00] Wajahat's advice on engaging with people across ideological divides—when to plant seeds of change and when to walk away. Featured Quotes: "Hope is optimism with action. It's believing in a better story but doing your part to get there." – Wajahat Ali "You can't save everyone. The caravan must move forward, but the doors remain open." – Wajahat Ali "We could have been so much better, and we chose this." – Wajahat Ali "One conversation with one person can create a ripple effect. Even a one-degree shift can matter." – Corey Nathan   How to find Waj: The Left Hook | https://thelefthook.substack.com/ Democracy-ish | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/democracy-ish/id1473376303 Bluesky | https://bsky.app/profile/wajali.bsky.social

The Epic Conclusion to the Original Star Wars TrilogyJoin hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell, along with special guest Francis Zagarigo, as they dive into the thrilling conclusion of the original Star Wars trilogy—Return of the Jedi (1983). This episode explores how the final installment wraps up the saga with its unforgettable characters, iconic scenes, and the ultimate battle between good and evil.Francis shares that this was his first time watching the film and declares it his favorite of the trilogy. Nathan, on the other hand, ranks it third but acknowledges its powerful ending. The hosts debate the merits of the Jabba's Palace sequence, with Krissy humorously describing it as "a Colombian drug dealer's backyard party," complete with dancing girls and bounty hunters.The group also examines Luke Skywalker's character arc, noting his all-black costume and monk-like demeanor, which hint at his potential temptation by the dark side. They highlight the reveal of Luke's green lightsaber, a practical filmmaking choice that perfectly aligns with his character's evolution.Key Topics CoveredThe impressive Jabba the Hutt puppet that weighed 2,000 pounds and cost $500,000 to buildThe problematic yet iconic "Slave Leia" metal bikini costumeThe Ewoks as an allegory for indigenous peoples overcoming technologically superior invadersIan McDiarmid's scene-stealing performance as Emperor PalpatineThe emotional redemption of Darth Vader and his sacrifice to save LukeThe satisfying conclusion that brings the original trilogy full circleSpecial edition changes, including CGI additions and an altered musical numberHost Ratings and Deep Cut RecommendationsThe hosts rate the film highly: Francis and Nathan both give it 8.5 out of 10 Ewoks, while Krissy insists it deserves a perfect 10 out of 10 Ewoks. For "deep cut" recommendations, Nathan suggests The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King as another excellent trilogy conclusion, Francis recommends Gremlins 2, and Krissy suggests Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars.Whether you're a lifelong Star Wars fan or experiencing the trilogy for the first time, this episode captures the magic that made Return of the Jedi an unforgettable cinematic experience that continues to resonate with audiences decades later. --We couldn't do this without your support of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast!

Yesterday, May the Fourth have been with you.  Because of the unofficial holiday, this installment will cover a facet of the Star Trek universe.  (How many of you checked out after that intentional faux pas?)  The Ewoks were the breakout stars of the 3rd released movie of the Star Wars franchise, while droids were a big part of the series from the start.  Combine the two in separate Saturday morning cartoon franchises, and that means kids will want the toys, adding gobs of money into several coffers.  The cartoons themselves?  Typical disposable Saturday morning fare.

After taking a year off to recover, Jeff Shuster return again for a May the 4th episode of The Drunken Odyssey, in which we discuss the seldom-discussed Ewoks trilogy. As a result, we might never have another May the 4th conversation. But the conversation was lively.

May the 4th Be With You!Zack and Erik are joined by Justin Ache once again to talk about Star Wars!

Celebrate Star Wars Day by simulating the experience of watching Episode VI with two pals who won't stop talking over the movie! Our Special-Edition-inspired commentary covers everything from the Mighty Boushh to blinking Ewoks to the novelization by James Kahn (not James Caan). An entire LEGION of our best ideas for superfluous revisions awaits you!

Our analysis of ANDOR season 2 continues with a collection of recent interview comments from Andor showrunner/writer Tony Gilroy who provides insider info about some of the important story beats thus far. We talk to the folks behind the Forest Moon Festival in California's redwood forests where the Endor scenes for RETURN OF THE JEDI were shot to get all the info about a very unique event for Star Wars fans happening later this month, and RFR will be there! Plus, highlights from a recent rare onstage appearance by George Lucas at the TCM Classic Film Festival where he discussed the inspiration behind Yoda's odd method of speaking. Listen, you will.

datum: 28 april 2025 gast: Gene Thomas May the 4th be with you! Om Star Wars dag te vieren bespreken we onder andere de 2 Ewok films uit de jaren 80: Caravan of Courage en The Battle for Endor. Dat en nog veel meer films, filmmuziek en Star Wars in deze extra aflevering! artwork: Tom Metdepenningen

ok we're going with one of our back up episodes this week David didnt have a chance to watch Drawn Together, but thats ok this is why we did these. So Drawn Together will be here next week then out Star Wars episode which the poll is still up on Facebook, there are 10 animated Star Wars series. Go oiver to Facebook and choose which one otherwise I might pick Droids or Ewoks to fuck with you all. But for this week enjoy the Street Sharks it might say its "Jawsome"  

This week on Shat The Movies, Gene and Big D close out the original Star Wars trilogy with a deep dive into Return of the Jedi (1983). Fueled by nostalgia, Minute Maid and vodka cocktails, and the crushing realization that not all endings stick the landing, the hosts explore the Ewok invasion, Jabba's deadly circus act, Boba Fett's humiliating demise, and the absurdity of Imperial helmet design. From Luke's questionable Force skills to the Empire's laughable "elite troops," nothing escapes the Shat boys' critical eye. Along the way, they celebrate Carrie Fisher's iconic (if problematic) gold bikini moment, mourn for Ewoks lost in battle, and dream up a darker, deadlier version of Endor warfare. Was this the fitting finale Star Wars deserved—or an early warning of Lucas' merchandising empire run amok? Tune in to find out! Plot SummaryA year after Han Solo's capture, Luke Skywalker launches a risky mission to free his friend from the clutches of Jabba the Hutt. After a daring escape involving Sarlacc pits, lightsabers and a lot of questionable strategy, the Rebel Alliance turns its attention to the Empire's new and even deadlier Death Star. Luke confronts Darth Vader once more, hoping to save his father from the Emperor's grip, while Han, Leia, and a band of unlikely Ewok allies attempt to destroy the shield generator on Endor. The fate of the galaxy hinges on battles fought in the forest and the throne room—where redemption, betrayal, and tiny bear-like warriors collide.

Hello and welcome to a very special Franchise me episode. This week we continuee our journey into the vast nature of the Star Wars Franchise with part two of our expansive retrosepctive episode. This week we discuss multimedia projects in the franchise, dive into the wide world of Star Wars video games, unearth the hidden gem that is Ewoks on ice, and discuss everybodies favorite Star Wars character, Dash Rendar. We hope you enjoy the episode and we thank you for joining us on this incredible journey.

Kneesa and Wicket team up with Luke, Leia, Han, and Hera in these episodes of Star Wars: Forces of Destiny. This Endorian Life is a nostalgic Star Wars podcast from the Radio Meanwhile Network.

Strap in, because this week we're tackling Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. This surprisingly grim sequel to Caravan of Courage kicks off by traumatizing kids in the first five minutes and somehow gets weirder from there. Blaster fights, space witches, and more—this movie has it all and absolutely none of it makes sense. Join us as we ask: is this the Empire Strikes Back of Ewok movies… or just what happens when Lucasfilm says, “Sure, why not?”Follow Us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@GoldSquadronGays⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@GoldSquadronGays⁠⁠ on BlueSky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@GoldSquadronGays⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@GoldSquadronGays⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on YouTubeContact Us: Goldsquadrongays@gmail.comTheme Music from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/danijel-zambo/stardustLicense code: GNBFGWAK0CXN3KG2

We bring you an episode i have been meaning to do for over 2 years.  At one time I said we would cover all the Star Wars Films, and this technically a Star Wars Film, since to me TV movies also count.  We are looking at the first of the two Ewok films.  Let's travel back to Endor and join some Ewoks. Come hear how we felt. Staring Mike Albertin, Kendall, and Kyle.

What A Piece of Junk Episode 162: Star Wars Nostalgia with the original Heir to the Empire trilogy!   Watch the video version on Fandom Podcast Network YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@FandomPodcastNetwork Listen to the audio podcast version here: https://fpnet.podbean.com/category/what-a-piece-of-junk-a-star-wars-podcast Picture this - it's 1991 and Star Wars has been out of the cultural spotlight for quite some time as the fervor over Star Wars: Return of the Jedi has died down and even the cartoons like Star Wars: Droids and Ewoks have been consigned to the history books. Is it really over for the Galaxy Far, Far Away? Maybe not...there's always A New Hope - and in May of 1991 that new hope took the form of a series of novels by acclaimed military sci-fi author Timothy Zahn who had penned his masterwork, the Heir to the Empire trilogy. This series of books gave us the first looks at now legendary Star Wars characters like Grand Admiral Thrawn and Mara Jade! Join the crew of the Drunken Gungan as they take a trip down memory lane to last century and the release of the books that saved Star Wars and still influence the stories of it today. What A Piece of Junk is THE podcast on the Fandom Podcast Network dedicated to covering everything Star Wars. From the original Star Wars trilogy movies, prequels, sequels, Legends canon, Disney's acquisition of Star Wars and its products, and all the fan favorite content out there, we have you covered.

Let's dive into an even more obscure corner of the Ewoks' world with MyComycs!   This Endorian Life is a Star Wars Podcast from the Radio Meanwhile Network.

As we approach the 10-year anniversary of ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens,' the cantina crew reflect on the sequel trilogy and share their honest thoughts about the films nearly a decade after their release. Once we conclude our retrospective of the sequels, we move onto coverage of the latest comics, specifically, ‘Ewoks' and ‘Star Wars: A New Legacy.' We finally land the pod with a discussion of The Dark Lord, Darth Momin, and leave our listeners with a lingering question: How will Disney handle The Sith Empire in future Star Wars films?  Share your thoughts in the comments below. 

When you work with child actors, finding the perfect person to stand-in for your characters can be challenging, but that’s where Kevin and Tracey Thompson came in! The legendary married couple served as stand-ins for the young actors on Boy Meets World, but that’s just a small part of their impressive resumés. Kevin shares stories from the set of Blade Runner, and we hear all about his adventures as an Ewok in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, a subject Tracey wrote an entire book about. The storied history of little people in Hollywood helped build the industry, but now it’s time to expand their presence on TV and in the movies. Kevin & Tracey have been at the forefront of this movement for decades, and now they bring their legacy to the new episode of Pod Meets World! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I've got a bad feeling about this... that was the thought that crept into people's minds back in November 1978. They were about ten minutes into the Star Wars Holiday Special--and it wasn't exactly what they had hoped for... Despite how bizarre the special was, one segment was universally praised; an animated feature called 'The Story of the Faithful Wookie.' Seven years later, Star Wars would once again return to the small screen in animated form for The Ewoks cartoon, and Star Wars: Droids. But this time, Star Wars was on Saturday morning cartoons.  This is a look back at everything that went into the two short-lived series, the live-action Ewoks movies, the influence that came from The Faithful Wookie, and the state of the Star Wars franchise in the mid-80s.  The Everything 80s Movie Review Podcast: Patreon.com/80s

Surprise! We've been covering Star Wars for all our $5+ patrons on Patreon, and we decided to make our very last episode (featuring Luke from We're Not So Different as a guest host) available for everyone. In this episode, we wrap up Return of the Jedi, aka Episode VI, in which the Skywalkers bring both trilogies to a close by defeating the Emperor (for now...?) along with their furry friends, the Ewoks and Han Solo. If you like it, head on over to our Patreon and check out our dozens of SW episodes, all of which can be found in our Star Wars collection. Next week: we resume our regular coverage of A Song of Ice and Fire with the Prologue to book four, A Feast for Crows!
