In Episode 150, hosts Alyce and Laura celebrate* the 7th Avernersary of Force Toast (and The Mandalorian) but mostly Force Toast. Reminiscing on 7 years of watching and reading Star Wars, doing trivs and learning mad skills, like how to do Star Wars Celebration, how to podcast and how to not drink too much when podcasting. Important life lessons! What do Sam Elliott, sh-tty beer and football have in common? Star Wars at the Super Bowl! Mystifying, or just a small (expensive) part of a grander marketing plan? (article referenced) Speaking of Mando - we call him Mandu now - a new MandUlorian & Grogu trailer is here! Let's discuss!  The article that sparked a million click bait parasites did not actually say what you think it said. Calm down.  We did the math. Jon Favreau isn't going anywhere. Take that, click bait.  Remember Rogue Squadron? The question of whether it will ever come to fruition remains… a question. (via Parade) RIP Admiral Piett actor Kenneth Colley. Sorry DailyMail and the internet made it weird.  Recap on Tap gets dreamy and maddening in Part 7 of Ahsoka: Dreams and Madness! Hera strikes back, Baylan is Batman now, Ahsoka is scary, Morgan does not Yes And any of this, and Every. Single. Reunion on this show is underwhelming.  Thanks for being one of our 80k+ downloads! From Day 1 to Day 2,555 - however long you've been listening to our rambling, we really, really, really appreciate you!

Volvemos con una fosa de emergencia para abordar uno de los eventos más esperados del universo Star Wars reciente: el primer gran tráiler de The Mandalorian and Grogu, la película que lleva el llamado “Mando-verso” a la gran pantalla. Nos reunimos con la calma que exige el Beskar y la pasión que merece la saga para analizar, debatir y conectar lo que hemos visto con el conjunto del canon galáctico. Un análisis que va más allá del hype. Durante el programa no nos limitamos a reaccionar plano a plano ni a dejarnos arrastrar por la emoción del momento. Vamos más lejos. El equipo examina el tráiler desde distintas perspectivas: la escala cinematográfica frente al lenguaje televisivo de la serie, la evolución visual del universo mandaloriano, el uso del montaje como declaración de intenciones narrativa y la construcción del villano a través de su iconografía. También abordamos las conexiones orgánicas con Rebels, la Nueva República y el remanente imperial, así como la presencia y función real de Grogu como personaje activo dentro de esta nueva etapa. El resultado no es una simple reacción: es una lectura crítica, comparativa y conectada con el universo Star Wars en su conjunto. El Mando-verso da el salto al cine. La pregunta central del programa es clara: ¿se siente realmente como evento cinematográfico? Analizamos el aumento de escala en escenarios y criaturas, el diseño del antagonista y su estética de inspiración samurái, la presencia de Zeb y sus implicaciones para el universo construido por Filoni, el uso del bestiario clásico como puente con la trilogía original y la construcción emocional de Din y Grogu en este nuevo contexto. Sin spoilers. Sin destripar posibles giros. Pero con criterio. Grogu ya no es símbolo: es protagonista. Uno de los grandes ejes del debate gira en torno a una cuestión clave: ¿estamos ante el momento en que Grogu deja de ser icono cultural para convertirse en agente narrativo decisivo? Estudiamos su posicionamiento dentro del tráiler, el peso dramático que tiene en la estructura del montaje, su posible rol dentro de la Nueva República y si esta película puede marcar el inicio de una nueva etapa galáctica con él como pieza central. La sombra del Imperio sigue presente. Aunque la historia se sitúa tras la caída imperial, la amenaza no ha desaparecido. El debate aborda el papel del remanente, la figura del nuevo señor de la guerra, la estética que remite al cine de Kurosawa y el delicado equilibrio entre nostalgia y expansión real del universo. A los mandos de esta nave mandaloriana: Josemi, la Voz del Rancor. Desde Series y Comics: Kiko Cerro. En la redacción de 3DJuegos: Chema Mansilla. Para el Show de los Teleñecos: Rocío Matesanz.

  'a day mid January THERE was a disturbance felt in the FORCE'    Kathleen Kennedy's control of Lucasfilm and Star Wars has come to an end. It was a COLD day in mid January at FARHQ, in the Awakens Base LOL LOL LOL January 15 'in the year of our STAR WARS' return 2026, when Lucasfilm announced that after 14 years of leading the studio, President Kathleen Kennedy was stepping down Dave Filoni, who worked closely with creator George Lucas to build the Lucasfilm animation department on Star Wars: The Clone Wars and helped launch Star Wars live-action series alongside Jon Favreau on The Mandalorian, will take on creative leadership of the company as President and Chief Creative Officer and Lynwen Brennan will serve as Co-President.  Their close collaboration and more than 30 years of combined senior executive experience will carry Lucasfilm into its next chapter of storytelling, with a strong foundation of creative vision and operational leadership guiding the studio forward. On the latest episode of Fandom Awakens Radio 'Now TWO there are ...... Filoni v Brennan a New Character Begins Days of Future Star Wars - Your hosts David Senden and Kyle Wagner discuss highlights taken from Kathy's exit interview, we discuss the 2 Co-presidents thing (very interesting to GO all in on a James Gunn / Peter Safran DC Studios esc approach) Upcoming Star Wars movie projects, heavily focused on a theatrical return in 2026-2027, include The Mandalorian & Grogu (May 22, 2026), Shawn Levy's Starfighter (May 28, 2027), and Dave Filoni's New Republic-era film. Other active projects include a Rey-centric New Jedi Order film and a new trilogy from Simon Kinberg.  Here is a breakdown of the announced Star Wars film projects:   Definite & In-Development Films Untitled Rey Skywalker Movie: Directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, focusing on rebuilding the Jedi Order. Simon Kinberg Trilogy: A new trilogy currently in development.  Projects in Limbo or Unknown Status  Rogue Squadron: Patty Jenkins' project, previously shelved but reportedly back in consideration. James Mangold's Dawn of the Jedi: A "biblical epic" exploring the origin of the Force. Taika Waititi's Star Wars Movie: Announced, but with no firm production timeline. Lando: Originally a series, now being developed as a movie with Donald Glover. Ok I am gonna say (and WE all know far too well what a LOT of SW fans today LACK, patience .............. funny when you consider everything they learned they learned from Kenobi and Yoda LOL but anyway), I'd say the odds of a LOT of these projects seeing the light of day just SHOT up, as long as Disney's new CEO (unlike Bob the Blunder halfwit), doesn't try anything STUPID. That Hunt for Ben Solo situation told us a LOT a LOT, of what has really been a problem in Star Wars ....................... and it was NOT the internet's favorite Boogywoman, cause here's some reality for you, had she NOT taken the job at the time GL asked her *sigh* I think Star Wars would have truly come to an END   HAHAHAHA to paraphase how YODA might it "Now TWO there are ......

On January 15, 2026, Lucasfilm formally announced that Kathleen Kennedy is "stepping down" as president of the company. Dave Filoni will take on the role of President and Chief Creative Officer. Lynwen Brennan, who for the past two years has held the title of "President & General Manager, Lucasfilm Business" alongside Kennedy, will continue in that role as "Co-President" with Filoni. On this episode of Hyperspace Theories, recorded days later, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester discuss the implications of this long-anticipated transition in the highest levels of Lucasfilm's leadership. We begin with a brief recap of the other Star Wars news stories in the preceding ten days, which had implicitly suggested that a major change would be imminent. We then unpack the press release from Lucasfilm, and what it represents as an official communication from a division of a publicly traded multi-national corporation. Next, we consider the additional information provided by source journalistic reporting from the major Hollywood trade publications – Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and The Wrap – as well as Matthew Belloni at Puck, who has consistently broken accurate stories about the extended leadership succession process at Lucasfilm. Then we examine the further remarks from Kennedy herself, provided in an "exit interview" she conducted with Deadline, another longstanding Hollywood publication. Finally, we end this episode of the podcast with our brief predictions about the likely future announcements from the new leadership team about the projects they have underway for the future of Star Wars.

In this quick breakdown, we talk through what her tenure delivered, why the leadership split between Dave Filoni (creative) and Lynwen Brennan (business and operations) makes sense, and why Filoni feels like the right choice to guide the next wave of Star Wars projects, including the Rey-focused movies.
