This month sees the team musing over museums, existing and yet to come. With the exciting news that 4 of the worlds biggest Star Wars collections are to be brought together in one place for public viewing, we're delighted to welcome back Gus Lopez and Duncan Jenkins to the podcast, to tell us more in our main interview. There's a canter through new acquisitions, a face-off of Action Playsets, and it's Rich's turn to get quizzical. We look at shout-outs from around the collecting world, with some rare US pieces, a curious LP, movie magazines, a blow moulded Vader, and a Danish Darth. In Rebel Briefings we get up to date with the latest stories including finalising figures with Fawcett, Rockett Fett ramblings, Dealing (or not Dealing), noting the passing of James Earl Jones and Robert Watts, cardback capers from New Zealand, silver fish in the attic, and a missing Amanaman. Licensee this month is Leewards Creative Crafts, and the wonderful worlds of latch hook rugs and stained glass sun catchers. As usual there's plenty of frivolous banter along the way, look out for the podcast in all the usual places, and tell your friends!

David and Ryan welcome on former Stuff guest and Star Wars uber-collector Gus Lopez as well as Star Wars collecting legend Steve Sansweet to discuss their diabolical plans to construct a Star Wars museum for fans -- by fans.

¡Vuelve a oirse el rugido del rancor! ¡Abrimos el nuevo año con un podcast especial de más de 5 horas! Para esta ocasión hemos decidido volver con un especial dedicado a lo que habría sido la trilogía de secuelas si George Lucas hubiese seguido al frente de Lucasfilm. ¿Cómo habría continuado la saga según las ideas el Hacedor? Hacemos una recopilación de todas las declaraciones de Mark Hamill y George Lucas durante más de cuatro décadas. Desde 1976 hasta 2019. De las ideas primigenias hasta las últimas declaraciones de Lucas sobre el argumento, los personajes y la temática de lo que podrían haber sido los episodios 7, 8 y 9 si no se hubiese producido la venta de Lucasfilm a Disney. También hablaremos de cómo la idea de tres trilogías y nueve películas se reflejó en varios productos comerciales de la franquicia. Desde el Universo Expandido hasta algunos artículos de Merchandising. Además comentaremos las ideas que sí se vieron reflejadas en la última trilogía dedicada a la saga Skywalker producida por Disney. Seguro que más de una os sonará haberla visto en la trilogía de J.J. Abrams y Rian Johnson. Analizaremos la trama principal en la que, según Lucas, se iba a basar los últimos episodios de la saga. Los personajes, héroes y villanos y las pirtas que se pueden extraer los primeros artes conceptuales de las secuelas mientras Lucas estaba aún inmerso en el proyecto. ¡Y muchas cosas más! Y por supuesto anunciaremos al ganador de nuestro sorteo de una lámina firmada por Dave Prowse, Jeremy Bulloch, Steve Sansweet y Gus Lopez, por cortesía de Jose M. Arosa. Cinco horas y media de programa, grabado hasta altas horas de la madrugada. Montado y editado por Pacoto. Para esta ocasión nos reunimos varios de nuestros maestros foseros para este podcast mesa-debate: Alejandro Buyo, Rosa Campoy, Carlos De La Torre, Ángel De Jorge, JJ Martínez, Fernando, Ángel el Angedor, Josemi y Paco Villa. Un podcast hecho por fans y para fans. No dejeis de soñar con galaxias muy lejanas y que la Fuerza os acompañe siempre. www.lafosadelrancor.com
