In this podcast episode, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester consider the recently released MCU Disney+ series Agatha All Along from the perspective of long-running themes at FANgirl Blog and Hyperspace Theories: the influence of myth and heroic journeys on contemporary storytelling and how contemporary storytelling is evolving those ideas, especially in stories told by women and other creators from diverse and marginalized backgrounds. The story structure of Agatha All Along itself is built around the idea of an evolving myth, the “Ballad of the Witches' Road” song, which appears in multiple iterations over the course of the series. We then discuss the character arcs of Agatha Harkness and Billy Maximoff through the frame of the Maiden Mother Crone triptych that is central to the series, and to longstanding lore about witches and other female archetypes. We also examine how Agatha All Along draws upon familiar elements of storytelling frameworks like the Hero's Journey and Heroine's Journey while also breaking from tropes and expectations in telling the tale of a centuries-old witch and a twenty-first century American teenager.   Related Links: ‘Agatha All Along' Boss Jac Schaeffer Talks Episode Four's Reveal and Mephisto: “That Is Larger Than Me and This Show” (The Hollywood Reporter; Oct. 7, 2024) ‘Agatha All Along' Showrunner Teases ‘Lots More' Coming for Agatha and Rio – and Whether We Should Trust That Reveal About Teen (The Wrap; Oct. 7, 2024) ‘Agatha All Along' Showrunner Unpacks Episode 5: Wiccan, Agatha's Mom and the Shorter Runtime (The Wrap; Oct. 14, 2024) Billy Maximoff Returns: Joe Locke and ‘Agatha All Along' Creator on Hiding His Identity, ‘Wacky' Fan Theories and Bringing Back [SPOILER] From ‘WandaVision' (Variety; Oct. 18, 2024) ‘Agatha All Along' Showrunner Talks Billy's Backstory, Evan Peters' MCU Return & What's To Come On The Witches Road (Deadline; Oct. 18, 2024) ‘Agatha All Along' Showrunner Talks Episode 6: Billy's Backstory, Agatha's Secret and That Cameo (The Wrap; Oct. 18, 2024) ‘Agatha All Along' Creator on Directing Patti LuPone's Mind-Bending Episode, Revealing [SPOILER]'s True Identity and Who Is Really Dead (Variety; Oct. 25, 2024) ‘Agatha All Along' Showrunner Unpacks Lilia's Trial, Rio's Reveal And More Ahead Of Final Two Episodes (Deadline; Oct. 25, 2024) ‘Agatha All Along' Showrunner Unpacks Time-Tripping Episode 7: Patti LuPone on Wires, Wanda and That Death Reveal (The Wrap; Oct. 25, 2024) ‘Agatha All Along' Showrunner Jac Schaeffer On Sticking The Landing With Final Episodes & What's To Come For Billy (Deadline; Nov. 1, 2024) ‘Agatha All Along' Creator Explains Shocking Finale Twists, Agatha and Rio's Backstory, Nicholas Scratch's Father and Why There's No Post-Credits Scene (Variety; Nov. 1, 2024) Agatha All Along creator clarifies the Tommy moment and where the Road goes from here (EW; Nov. 1, 2024) After That Shocking ‘Agatha All Along' Finale Twist, Sasheer Zamata Discusses Jen's Reaction and Her Potential MCU Future (Collider; Nov. 1, 2024) Agatha's Fate Was Decided From the Beginning in ‘Agatha All Along' (Collider; Nov. 1, 2024) ‘Agatha All Along's Showrunner Breaks Down the Finale's Reveals and Twists (Collider; Nov. 1, 2024) Agatha Is Not “The Hero of Her Own Story,” Says Creator (Collider; Nov. 2, 2024) ‘Agatha All Along' Boss Jac Schaeffer on Forgoing Wanda in Finale: “It Didn't Feel Fair to Agatha” (The Hollywood Reporter; Nov. 4, 2024) “I will die on that hill”: Jac Schaeffer Will Never Accept One ‘Agatha All Along' Criticism Even After Revelation That Billy Maximoff Opened the Road (FandomWire; Nov. 6, 2024)

It's been ten years since FANgirl Blog launched the Hyperspace Theories podcast. On the latest episode, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester look back on the podcast's evolution from its origin in discussing how to speculate wisely on upcoming Star Wars stories to a broader consideration of storytelling, character arcs and the Hero's Journey, and franchise management. We reminisce about our favorite episodes of the podcast over the years. After looking back, we turn to the present and future of the franchise through the lens of two recent articles in major Hollywood trade publications. James Hibberd's lengthy essay in The Hollywood Reporter asks “Is Disney Bad at Star Wars?” offers a fair assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the past decade of the franchise, ultimately concluding that it's not bad but it could do better. The timing of the article's publication also is notable for two reasons. First, although it studiously avoids placing blame on particular named individuals, it renders an unusually critical perspective on Star Wars after years of the trades avoiding doing so. Second, it follows an unannounced but publicly visible change to Lucasfilm's leadership structure: the elevation of Lynwen Brennan from Executive Vice President to President, a change with significance beyond simply a promotion in her title. We consider the implications of these developments for what further changes can be expected at Lucasfilm. We then discuss Adam B. Vary's article “Toxic Fandom: How Hollywood Is Battling Fans Who Are ‘Just Out for Blood' — From Social Media Boot Camps to Superfan Focus Groups,” which was published in Variety on the same day. Among other franchises mentioned in the article, Star Wars has a mixed record in this area, too. Vary's article wisely distinguishes between criticism (or praise) of a work by fans based on the substance of the story on the one hand, and abusive behavior driven by agendas (and monetization) unrelated to the merits of quality or stewardship – although the article also makes clear that studios and their executives may not consistently pay attention to this distinction. We conclude by looking ahead to some of the topics for discussion on future episodes of Hyperspace Theories, including The Bad Batch Season Three, Agatha All Along, the Wicked movie, Skeleton Crew, and more.   Related Links: Is Disney Bad at Star Wars?

The circle is now complete. Dave Filoni, longtime storytelling Padawan to George Lucas, has been Executive Creative Director for Star Wars for three years and played an instrumental role in the creation and progression of The Mandalorian streaming series. With Ahsoka, the latest live-action Disney+ series from Star Wars, Filoni not only leads the project in full – he wrote all eight episodes and directed the first (and fifth) – but also brings the erstwhile Jedi apprentice from key member of ensemble casts to titular character and central figure. Over the past fifteen years, from The Clone Wars to Star Wars Rebels to Mando and Grogu to Ahsoka, Filoni and Tano have traversed similar paths. In this episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester share our reactions, review, and analysis of the two-episode Ahsoka premiere, “Master and Apprentice” and “Toil and Trouble.” We begin with our praise for the representation and diversity in the cast of Ahsoka. After more than a decade at FANgirl Blog criticizing Star Wars for its often poor track record in that regard, it is thrilling to watch a series in which the “big three” lead protagonists are all women (Ahsoka, Sabine, and Hera) and two of the three antagonists (Morgan and Shin, with Baylan) are women, too. Ahsoka also features women of color in four of those six roles, as well as actors of color throughout the supporting cast. Turning to the storytelling, we discuss the parallels between Baylan and Shin, with their orange lightsabers and a familiar Padawan braid, and the tutelage relationships between Ahsoka and Sabine and, previously, Anakin and Ahsoka. We also examine how Filoni draws upon all aspects of Star Wars storytelling, including elements from the Original Trilogy, the Prequel Trilogy, and the Legends tales of the Expanded Universe, as well as more recent Star Wars productions. With Morgan Elsbeth confirming her connection to the Nightsisters, also known as the Witches of Dathomir – something we had speculated about after her initial appearance in The Mandalorian – we consider what Ahsoka may have to say about the Jedi, the Sith, individuals who are not-quite-Jedi or not-quite-Sith, and other ways Star Wars characters might perceive or wield the Force. This idea is especially interesting in light of Professor Huyang's emphasis to Sabine Wren that, while she may not be strong in the Force, she can still train in and follow the ways of the Jedi. We conclude with some brief speculations, informed by footage from the trailer and teasers that did not appear in the premiere episodes, on how the story might unfold in the remaining six. The Ahsoka series premiered on Disney+ during the concurrent ongoing strikes against Disney and other major Hollywood studios by unions representing the writers (WGA) and actors (SAG-AFTRA) who are indispensable to their productions. Accordingly, neither Filoni nor any of the actors in Ahsoka could participate in promotional interviews or other marketing for the series (although they appear in material previously recorded, such as interviews at Star Wars Celebration in April, that is shared by Disney or entertainment journalists). Aside from its value in raising the visibility of the series to the prospective audience, such interviews with talent often provide fascinating insight into the storytelling process, characterization and motivations, and the themes and values underlying a series. We are disappointed that the studios have denied the talent the opportunity to participate in the excitement of the series launch, and the fans and audience the ability to share in their enthusiasm and learn from it, through their unwillingness to agree to reasonable terms relating to changing technology, shifts in production and distribution within the industry, and a fair sharing of billions of dollars in global profits with those who make those profits possible in the first place. Despite the ongoing strikes, the unions have not called for a boycott of the studios: they encourage fans and audience to watch newly released films and series (to demonstrate their value and profitability) and have clarified that non-promotional activities such as reviews, criticism, and analysis are not inconsistent with the terms of the strike. At FANgirl Blog and Hyperspace Theories, we intend to discuss Star Wars (and other projects from the struck studios) in solidarity with the unions and in conformity with their approved official guidance.

The newly premiered Andor is the biggest and most ambitious Star Wars Disney+ streaming series yet. Created by showrunner Tony Gilroy, who oversaw the rewrites and reshoots that salvaged the theatrical release of Rogue One, Andor is a prequel to a prequel: beginning five years before that film, it will bring its principal characters to the events of Rogue One, which itself leads directly into A New Hope and the Original Trilogy. The first season of Andor includes 12 episodes, with 12 more planned for a second (and final) season that enters production later this year. From the trailers, interviews, press conference, and other promotion, it seems clear that Andor is intended to mark the entry of the Star Wars franchise into the “prestige television” space alongside series such as The Crown, Game of Thrones, or The Expanse. For its premiere on September 21, 2022, however, Andor released a trio of episodes focused almost entirely on the titular character, Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), and the immediate desperate aftermath of a particular incident. In this episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester discuss how these episodes reintroduce Cassian to the audience at a very different point in his life compared to the seasoned Rebel Alliance operative from Rogue One. The episodes also make effective use of flashbacks to reach even farther back in his past – before, we learn, he even went by the name Cassian Andor – to lay the groundwork for the character arc that begins to develop in these early episodes of the series. In addition to the core story about Cassian, we consider the many new characters introduced in Andor, some of whom appear destined to play important roles in the series beyond the initial episodes. If you missed it during the early rounds of publicity and promotion in late August, be sure to catch up on the Andor coverage at Fangirls Going Rogue and FANgirl Blog now that series has launched into its weekly release schedule for the remaining nine episodes of the first season.

Fangirls Going Rogue participated in a media day for the upcoming Disney+ Star Wars show ANDOR. A virtual press conference was hosted by Joe Neumaier, film critic for the New York Daily News, and included the following participants: Diego Luna (“Cassian Andor” and Executive Producer) Genevieve O'Reilly (“Mon Mothma”) Kyle Soller (“Syril Karn”) Denise Gough (“Dedra Meero”) Adria Arjona (“Bix Caleen”) Tony Gilroy (Executive Producer / Writer / Showrunner) We also joined roundtables with Diego Luna, Genevieve O'Reilly, Denise Gough and Kyle Soller. We've curated the best answers that give insight into story, themes, characters, sets, and costumes of Andor. Hosts Sarah Woloski and Tricia Barr agree this is one ambitious show!

Disney+'s Ms. Marvel is earning rave reviews and allowing a whole new segment of Marvel fandom to see their stories represented. Siya Patel has shared her passion for Marvel stories here at FANgirl Blog. When she asked about learning about podcasting, Ms. Marvel seemed to be the perfect opportunity. Hence, the Night Light podcast was born. On the third episode, Tricia Barr and Siya Patel discuss the final two episodes of Ms. Marvel. The themes of identity and community bonds shine as the season draws to a close. Night Light cover art by Siya Patel.

The latest episode of Hyperspace Theories discusses the full story unfurled in the newest six-episode Disney+ series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU): Ms. Marvel, featuring the origin story of teenage heroine Kamala Khan. Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester are joined by longtime FANgirl Blog contributor Priya Chhaya, an historian and advocate for representation in storytelling and nonfiction alike. First introduced in the comics, Kamala Khan stands out as Marvel's first Pakistani-American and Muslim superhero. Like the comics, the Ms. Marvel series showcases Kamala's family, friends, faith, and community as integral aspects of her personal identity both before and after she acquires her superpowers. At the same time, her story includes universal themes than resonate with audience members who do not share her heritage or religion, such as overprotective parents, sibling resentment, and a multi-generational immigrant experience in the United States. In addition, Ms. Marvel is prominently a story about mothers and daughters, too often still a rarity in blockbuster entertainment and other popular fiction. Kamala's story is also unusual in featuring an intact family unit. The Ms. Marvel series also places significant emotional prominence on an important event in the 20th century history of South Asia: the Partition of India at the end of British imperial occupation, creating new borders and the new country of Pakistan. (Subsequently, East Pakistan became the independent nation of Bangladesh.) The Partition not only sparked religiously motivated violence in India, but also the largest mass migration in human history as millions of Muslim refugees fled to Pakistan. Ms. Marvel highlights the Partition in the flashback love story of Aisha and Hasan, as well as its lingering ramifications in the lives of Sana, Muneeba, and Kamala. Although the Clandestines and the Department of Damage Control serve as Kamala's overt antagonists in the series, Ms. Marvel perhaps suggests that the real villain is the generational trauma of imperialism.

Tricia Barr and BJ Priester from FANgirl Blog share their initial reactions to the WandaVision series finale.

Teresa Delgado (Fangirls Going Rogue, Star Wars Bookworms) joins Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester of FANgirl Blog to discuss the concluding arc of The Clone Wars.

For this episode of Hyperspace Theories, the show comes full circle. Joining Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester for our continuing discussion of The Clone Wars Season Seven is Megan Crouse, a familiar name to long-time readers of FANgirl Blog – and our guest on the second-ever episode of the podcast. Megan wrote reviews of The Clone Wars episodes during Seasons Four and Five when they originally aired on Cartoon Network, as well as contributing book reviews and other articles. Since then, Megan has gone on to write for StarWars.Com, Star Wars Insider magazine, Den of Geek, and other websites. Welcome back, Megan! The focus of our discussion is the second arc of Season Seven, which tells a story of Ahsoka's struggle to redefine her identity relatively soon after her resignation from the Jedi Order at the end of Season Five. Her thinking about herself is influenced by her interaction with the two sisters she meets early in the first episode: Trace and Rafa Martez. As Dave Filoni explained on Clone Wars Download, the sisters represent two possibilities for who Ahsoka could become: the earnest and compassion Trace, or the cynical and selfish Rafa. Over the course of the four episodes, Ahsoka makes her choice – and in the process helps Rafa realize that she can make different choices for herself and her sister, too. In addition to discussing Ahsoka and the Martez sisters, we discuss other themes highlighted by this story arc, particularly how the Jedi Order has been morally compromised. We also share thoughts about how this arc relates to other stories from The Clone Wars, including the novel Dark Disciple and the first two episodes of the final Siege of Mandalore arc, which had already aired by the time of recording.   Related Links: Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2015: The Clone Wars Tales Yet Untold Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016: Ahsoka’s Untold Tales Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017: Animated Origins and Unexpected Fates Panel Star Wars Celebration Chicago 2019: The Clone Wars Sneak Peek Clone Wars Download: "Gone With a Trace" (YouTube) Clone Wars Download: "Together Again" (YouTube) Contact Information: Hyperspace Theories: Twitter @HyperspacePod Tricia Barr: Twitter @FANgirlcantina; email Tricia@fangirlblog.com B.J.

While we love Star Wars at FANgirl Blog, we have many passions. Tricia and Kay share thoughts on Netflix's She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.

Disney's new streaming service has been given a name: Disney+. Fangirls Going Rogue dives into what we know will be part of this platform, including Star Wars and Marvel offerings. How will television stories be different than the films? And how does Marvel compare to Disney in their first offerings? Last month Disney kicked off the Dream Big Princess Campaign. Young female filmmakers had a chance to create video shorts with famous mentors like Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy and Mary Poppin Returns' Emily Blunt. We discuss Kennedy's advice and whether she is doing enough to mentor women through her role at Lucasfilm. In part this segment was inspired by a conversation among our listeners in our Facebook discussion group. Read more about it over at FANgirl Blog. A new arrangement of "Across The Stars" by John Williams inspired our conversation about the characters of Anakin and Padmé. Of course, the music is a character of its own in the movies!   News: What Star Wars Resistance Character Are You from StarWars.com Diego Luna on playing Cassian Andor again via Variety What to Expect From Star Wars on Disney+ from Club Jade Gina Carano joins The Mandalorian via THR Pedro Pascal signs on for The Mandalorian via Variety Falcon/Winter Soldier limited series coming from Marvel via Variety As always, reviews and ratings are our life blood.

Tricia Barr, BJ Priester and Kay from FANgirl Blog discuss changes in directors on Episode IX, Star Wars animation and Leia: Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray. The Star Wars movie news keeps coming, and we delve into it on this month’s episode of Hyperspace Theories. We begin with one of the recent photos from the Untitled Han Solo movie shared on social media by director Ron Howard. Does the image and its caption – “Spicey?” – hint at the appearance of the long-notorious spice mines as well as the legendary Kessel Run in the film? The big developments since our last episode, though, involved Episode IX: Colin Trevorrow is no longer involved in the movie as either writer or director, and J.J. Abrams is returning to Star Wars to direct and co-write the second sequel to The Force Awakens. Tricia, B.J., and Kay discuss our reactions to and analysis of the news, including the official announcements from Lucasfilm as well as the reports in the Hollywood industry trades. While the removal of Trevorrow from the project is a positive change, the sources of the conflict that led to his departure were very much predictable at the time he was hired; the upheaval in the production process at this point, about four months prior to the intended start of principal photography, was preventable if a sounder hire had been made in the first instance. Fortunately, after the box office and fandom success of The Force Awakens Abrams had enough influence and credibility with the Disney brass to insist on pushing back Episode IX’s release date to December 2019, giving him at least six additional months to work on the script. Abrams has essentially the same amount of time to work on Episode IX’s screenplay as for The Force Awakens – but this time with considerably less work needed on the world-building and character arcs compared to kicking off the trilogy. Overall, though, we’re certainly far more optimistic about Episode IX with Abrams at the helm than we were a few weeks ago. We also share areas of concern with Abrams’ leadership of Episode IX. On The Force Awakens, Abrams often worked in seclusion at Bad Robot in Santa Monica, in contrast to Rian Johnson’s work in residence at Lucasfilm while writing and completing The Last Jedi. With the Story Group and other members of the creative brain trust at Lucasfilm having accomplished some great successes in interconnectivity and long-term payoffs over the course of stories released since 2015, it would be a shame if Abrams’ return also meant a recurrence of the lack of communication that led to key creative executives at Lucasfilm being unaware of major storytelling decisions made while finalizing The Force Awakens until the film’s release. Similarly, Abram’s co-writer on The Force Awakens was the esteemed Lawrence Kasdan; his writing partner on Episode IX is Chris Terrio, who won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for Argo but also wrote the screenplays for Batman v Superman and Justice League, which like Rogue One ended up undergoing substantial revision, if not re-envisioning, during reshoots. Finally, while Abrams is certainly a known quantity and trusted creator to Lucasfilm, it is disappointing to see yet again that two middle-aged white men have been handed the keys a Star Wars film – and this time, one that has to provide satisfying, empowering, and worthy conclusions to the Sequel Trilogy character arcs of Rey and Leia. For all the upheaval in the production processes on the Star Wars films over the last few years, though, lots of great Star Wars stories are being told outside the movies. In this month’s episode we discuss the second season of LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, the first eight Force of Destiny animated shorts, and the young-adult novel Leia, Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray. We have high praise for each of them, although as longtime Star Wars books fandom participants, each of us was particularly excited to finally see the kind of official young Leia book we’ve always thought the character deserved. As part of the Journey to The Last Jedi publishing program, Gray’s novel also contains some intriguing hints for Episode VIII, including some that are overt and others that left us wondering – and speculating.

Have you gone back to watch the 6 films of the Star Wars Saga after seeing The Force Awakens? What did you think? What did you feel?

We celebrate awesome news on Episode 29 of Fangirls Going Rogue. Episode VIII has begun filming, we have a new website design thanks to FANgirl’s Geek Kay, and The Force Awakens crossed the $2 billion mark! And that is just a start. Slowly #WheresRey is becoming #HeresRey as Rey-centric merchandise hits shelves. Keep tweeting your finds to @FGGoingRogue. We love to see them! How exciting is it to see Kathleen Kennedy dubbed “The Most Powerful Woman in Hollywood” by Vanity Fair? Tricia Barr, Teresa Delgado, and Sarah Woloski talk about this and more in our latest news segment that feels more like a pajama party. Then it is on to a fun and insightful interview with author Jason Fry, who has written a ton of Star Wars books, including Rey’s Survival Guide and The Force Awakens: Incredible Cross-Sections. We ask about his Star Wars Rebels tie-in Servants of the Empire book series and his Jupiter Pirates series. Jason explains the challenges of age labels on books, and why adults will enjoy his books for kids. You can find more thoughts from Jason on his Tumblr page. Honoring his work on the Star Wars galactic map, Jason joins this month’s character discussion, featuring our passengers of choice on a trip to a planet that inspires our adventures.

The Force has awakened. In the December episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia Barr, B.J. Priester, and Kay from the popular Star Wars critical discussion site FANgirl Blog share their initial reactions to Episode VII. We discuss the characters, plot, and more after multiple viewings of the film, with minimal additional information from opening-weekend creator interviews or the opening-day book releases. We also address the storytelling decisions to withhold certain key information from the audience in the first movie of the new trilogy, as well as the trailers and other marketing containing imagery and dialogue that do not appear in the final film. This episode contains discussion of all of the major spoilers from The Force Awakens from the opening minutes of the show, so steer clear if you haven't yet seen the movie.

It's a Force Friday bonanza on this episode of Fangirls Going Rogue. Teresa Delgado, Tricia Barr, and Sarah Woloski share their experiences from Force Friday events across the country. From the unboxing live stream seen around the world to fans attending midnight madness, we break down the merchandise mayhem. Kay from FANgirl Blog joins the discussion to fill our listeners in on Star Wars happenings at Dragon Con, from cosplaying Rey of The Force Awakens and celebrating Kathleen Kennedy Day to the VIP panels with Peter Mayhew and Vanessa Marshall. The Journey to The Force Awakens publishing program released a swell of books, and Tricia offers suggestions on where to start while Sarah shares details of DK Publishing's Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need To Know book launch at Mysterious Galaxies in San Diego. In a special interview, Anna Graves tells the Fangirls about voicing Princess Leia for Disney Infinity and Duchess Satine Kryze and Sugi on The Clone Wars. The character discussion dives into the male characters from The Force Awakens that we find intriguing.

On the heels of D23 Expo, Ryan Hurley from Turtle Power Podcast joins Tricia Barr, BJ Priester and Kay from FANgirl Blog to discuss how Disney will affect the Star Wars galaxy. What happens when Lucasfilm's ownership transitioned from a sole patron to corporate stakeholders? How did this affect script changes?

Join Tricia Barr, BJ Priester and Kay of FANgirl Blog plus special guests Sarah and Richard Woloski of Skywalking Through Neverland podcast as we break down what was and wasn't said at The Force Awakens panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2015.

Spoilers, speculation and storytelling serve as the foundation for this episode.

(Want to skip the major spoilers then jump from the Spoiler Intro to the 30 minute mark.) The Meta segment looks at the potential influence of Hayao Miyizaki after Dave Filoni revealed last year it was a foundation suggested by Kathleen Kennedy. We've already seen Miyazaki's influence in The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. How to resources affect storytelling?

Kay from Fangirl Blog and Hyperspace Theories joins Steve to have a good old fashioned Geek Out session. The two talk everything from Space Travel to The Muppets. This is where the fun begins.

Here excerpts from our live show on the podcast stage, with special guests Kay from FANgirl Blog, Aaron Goins from Star Wars Bookworms and Johnamarie Macias from The Wookiee Gunner. Everyone shares their #fangirlflail moment from the convention. Beyond our podcast stage show, Saturday proved very special with the Star Wars Rebels Season 2 rollout. Teresa Delgado had a special flail moment when she interviewed Freddie Prinze, Jr., the voice of Kanan on Star Wars Rebels. Tricia Barr asked the last question at the Star Wars Rebels Press Conference. Sarah Woloski went on a special assignment to the Red Carpet and got to chat with Dave Filoni, Ashley Eckstein, Vanessa Marshall, Tiya Sircar and Taylor Gray. Of course, The Force Awakens second teaser had to be discussed. The official verdict: it was amazing! Also amazing at the convention, the merchandise, including Ewoks plushies coming from Disney Parks and fashion forward apparel from Her Universe and We Love Fine. The Fangirls were excited to see their Fangirls Going Rogue t-shirts around the con. Since Sarah missed the character discussion to attend the Red Carpet, we gave her a chance to weigh in on the Ewoks and Teresa’s pitch for a dark Ewok book penned by James Luceno. Do it, Del Rey! We would again like to take the opportunity to thank our listeners who supported the fankids at our show with generation donations of Leia, Hera and Sabine merchandise. If we missed you in the show, please drop us an email. We would like to thank each and everyone personally. Fangirls Going Rogue is available on iTunes.
