Worst Vacation Spots in Star Wars Todd Hoffman and Carla Giacalone/Coffey kick back for a fun, nerdy Cantina Chat about the absolute worst places to spend a vacation in the Star Wars galaxy. It starts with a personal update from Carla on her recent wedding and upcoming Lord of the Rings honeymoon, then shifts into a playful planet-by-planet debate over which worlds are too hot, too wet, too buggy, or too dangerous to ever book. Key topics In this episode: Carla shares wedding highlights, including the Camp Sacagoia venue in New Jersey, R2-D2 at the reception, and walking down the aisle to Princess Leia's theme. Todd and Carla talk about Carla's delayed honeymoon to New Zealand, where she'll take a Lord of the Rings tour through filming locations. The conversation turns to Star Wars vacation planning, with Mustafar and Exegol quickly emerging as top-tier nightmare destinations. Hoth gets compared to extreme winter travel, with discussion of blizzards, emergency Wampa insurance, and the appeal of cold versus heat. Tatooine comes up as the rare planet with enough civilization to survive a trip, despite the sand, the sun, and the constant danger. Dagobah is treated as a hard no for its swamp conditions, bugs, and general "Florida but worse" vibe. Geonosis, Kessel, Felucia, and Exegol are each framed as terrible choices for different reasons, from language barriers to poison mushrooms to Sith cult energy. The hosts compare how bad a long trip would be next to villains like Darth Vader, General Grievous, or Jabba the Hutt. They close the vacation debate by choosing the "least bad" nightmare trip and agreeing that Tatooine is probably the safest bad option. Carla also gives an honorable mention to Wobani from Rogue One as a place nobody would want on a vacation itinerary.

This week chat with Lower Hutt musician Julie Bevan before her next appearance at Upper Hutt's Mainly Acoustic Music Club on Tuesday 11th August. We sample plenty of her music from across the decades as well as talking about the issues facing the music industry today! We hear more in the 2016 history series with musician Peter Hall on life in Upper Hutt in the 1960s, with Upper Hutt Libraries Caren Wilton. There's award winning local poetry from Dylan McGregor – “The Greatest Treasure” from last year's Upper Hutt Libraries Poetry Competition. And there's local music from Julie Bevan and the Kapa Haka students of Taita College in 2017. You can always Facebook message John with local story, musician or poetry suggestions. https://www.facebook.com/JohnMacDonaldNZ/ SECTIONS Poem – 1'08” – Dylan McGregor “The Greatest Treasure” History – 3'07” - Peter Hall – Upper Hutt Memories from the 1960s Feature Story – 13'38” – Julie Bevan –Music performance and composition Music – 44'16” – Julie Bevan – “The Little Mermaid” Music – 49'49” – Taita College – Kapa Haka 2017

One thing I forgot to do as we were pressed for time was to ask all the hosts what their favorite reveal was from the show. I'll keep mine to the four franchises as I usually do, but hopefully we can squeeze that in too on the next show. For Masters, as much as I love build-a-figures and vintage toy artwork homages, it does seem like more of the same. Their Chronicles Clawful is what really caught my eye. All I thought I wanted from Star Wars was a Rotta the Hutt in either Black Series or Vintage Collection. Well, I got both and hate the execution on both. So, even though I won't buy it, my favorite Star Wars thing was the vintage decoed X-Wing. What's funny is my favorite Transformer is something we didn't even talk about. It was hidden in the official pics. Besides the Icons Decepticon symbol Megatron, everything else was pretty lackluster. Even more disappointing was G.I. Joe. I get it, they blow their load with Yo Joe June. Besides some name reveals, we really only got what is looking to be a disappointing Thundermachine.

In a surprise announcement, the long "on-the-shelf" Star Wars animated comedy from George Lucas, Seth Green and company will be screening at the soon-to-open Lucas Museum in LA. We listen to Seth Green's announcement at San Diego Comic Con and discuss what the show is all about. In other SDCC news, Kevin Feige gets us pumped up about next year's Star Wars: Starfighter by revealing he's already seen it, but we are confused by the total lack of publicly available images and coverage. And we share our disappointment with Hasbro for some of their lackluster SDCC announcements and criticize them for sad offerings going back to Solo: A Star Wars Story. Star Wars fans are still talking about The Mandalorian and Grogu and our voicemail inbox has some listener thoughts about Rotta the Hutt. In our "Outrageous Unthinkable Story of the Week", a former Star Wars actor breaks bad on his role in the prequels and we try to determine why he's trash talking. Plus, we return to the RFR Sound Lab, we look forward to this week's Rebel Scum Con, and more!

Welcome to Databank Brawl Rewind! Databank Brawl was a series that ran on ForceCenter from 2016 to 2020, and it remains one of our more beloved shows. Though Databank Brawl is on hiatus, we wanted to celebrate it along with longtime listeners of the podcast and reintroduce it to the ForceCenter listeners who began listening to the podcast after the end of the show's run. Though all of the episodes remain on our podcast feed, it can be daunting to scroll back and find them, so we're launching Databank Rewind. Here's your chance to go back to those episodes week by week and laugh with us at old jokes, memorable moments, unforgettable guests, and, yeah, old microphones, recordings, and perhaps some Star Wars predictions that came true alongside many that most certainly did not. Databank Brawl -- where Star Wars characters are plucked from the entries of the StarWars.com databank and forced to fight it out in an off-the-cuff podcast moderated by Joseph Scrimshaw. It's time to fight...From the minds of Ken Napzok (comedian, host of The Napzok Files), Joseph Scrimshaw (comedian, writer, director of Dead Media), and Jennifer Landa (actress, YouTuber, crafter, contributor on StarWars.com) comes the ForceCenter Podcast Feed. Here you will find a series of shows exploring, discussing, and celebrating everything about Star Wars. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts.

Din Djarin & Baby Yoda Return To Rescue Rotta The Hut! We're jumping back into the Star Wars galaxy with bounty hunters, Mandalorians, Hutts, Imperial Remnants, and some BIG Clone Wars connections. This is our first time watching The Mandalorian & Grogu (2026), reacting to the movie's biggest moments, emotional scenes, action sequences, surprises, cameos, and ending while sharing our full spoiler review and discussion. From Din Djarin and Grogu's evolving father-son relationship to Rotta the Hutt, Embo, the New Republic, Mandalore, and all the deep Star Wars lore tying together The Mandalorian, The Clone Wars, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and beyond, there's a lot to unpack… or is it simply just a fun simple film?

The manager of Mount Hutt is thanking the public holiday of Matariki, and the wintry blast that preceded it, for the busiest day the ski field has had in a decade. James McKenzie spoke to John Campbell.

In this month's Those Old Fossils, Palitoy Pete, Martin, and Dan turn their attention to one of Kenner's most iconic vintage Star Wars releases — the Jabba the Hutt Playset. The team also takes a closer look at Bib Fortuna, Jabba's loyal Twi'lek majordomo, exploring the character's role in Star Wars and the story behind his classic Kenner figure. Jez drops in throughout the show to share his thoughts on both items, while Ron Salvatore delivers an impassioned deep dive into Jabba, discussing every aspect of the playset — from original concepts and prototypes to the question: is Jabba the Hutt actually an action figure? This sparks a lively debate amongst the team. Mark Andrews joins Dan to share his passion for Bib Fortuna and also reveals that Frank's Mews Baggie Guide has found a new home on the Variant Villains website — and is better than ever. From one of Kenner's greatest playsets to one of Jabba's most recognisable allies, this episode is packed with collecting stories, expert insights, in our continuing celebration of the vintage Star Wars collecting hobby.

They did it again, and we've got proof. The Mandalorian and Grogu isn't a Mandalorian story at all. It's the cancelled Book of Boba Fett Season 2 Mando's face glued to it! A Hutt succession war, the return of the Twins, a gladiator pit lifted straight out of a Boba Fett comic, and a flimsy New Republic badge taped over Boba Fett's name to hide the swap. That's twice now that Disney has handed Boba Fett's story to the Mandalorian. Strap in as we dive in and prove once and for all whose movie this really is. Do you like what we do?

Star Wars week comes a bit later this year courtesy of the first theatrical Star Wars movie to be released in 7 years. The Mandalorian and Grogu meet The Corn Dog and Cap'n Pop. Just Play It has a bounty on the Jon Favreau & Dave Filoni family fun adventure film so Nick and James bump the sickest Shakari synth track in the Razor Crest on the way to the theaters. We discuss the discourse amongst the fans, what is great about this movie, and what we think they could've done differently. Make room for a yolked out Hutt, a surprise guest, and a pit crew of Anzellans, because this is way.Thanks for tuning in.

Seven years between Star Wars films, and the galaxy came back with a tin-can dad, a green gremlin, and a muscled teenage Hutt with an identity crisis. Matthew Fox of Star Wars Generations joins Pete Wright, Justin Jaeger, and Ocean Murff on The Film Board to work through all of it — the parts that soar, the parts that drag, and the twenty minutes in a swamp that made everyone forget they were watching a puppet.The panel is split on the Swole Hutt (Ocean is in, Pete is out), united on Ludwig Göransson's score, and divided on whether this is a movie or just the best three episodes of a Mandalorian season that never got made. Martin Scorsese shows up as an informant and somehow steals the room. Sigourney Weaver shows up as a character and somehow doesn't. The question the table keeps circling: did Star Wars prove it belongs in theaters, or did it prove Ocean right all along?Full show notes and resources: HereThis episode on The Film Board: The Lunchbox Mandalorian • Mandalorian and Grogu**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

In this episode, Katie talks with Marcie Stokman and Colleen Hutt, co-founders of Well-Read Mom, a nationwide book club for women seeking deeper friendships and meaningful conversations through great literature. Marcie and Colleen share how reading good books transformed their own lives, making them a better person, wife, and mother. In a culture increasingly shaped by constant screens and distractions, they argue that literature helps us recover the lost arts of thinking, reading, and speaking well. For many women, finding time to read can feel impossible. Marcie offers a simple answer: read together. Through book clubs and shared conversations, women discover a space to wrestle with the questions that matter most—the joys and sorrows, hopes and fears, and challenges of everyday life. These friendships provide the connection, encouragement, and sense of belonging that every person longs for. Marcie and Colleen also explain the Well-Read Mom four-step process: Read: Let go of the guilt and simply begin. Compare: Connect the themes of the book to your own life. Share: Engage in authentic conversations with others, ideally face-to-face. Accompany: Support one another through life's struggles with compassion and confidentiality. Three Takeaways: Reading fosters friendship, and friendship inspires us to keep reading. Every person has a deep desire to be seen, known, loved, and connected in authentic community. The Well-Read Mom four-step process offers a practical path to deeper relationships and a richer intellectual and spiritual life. We would love it if you could leave a written review on Apple and share with your friends! Editing provided by Forte Catholic (https://www.fortecatholic.com/)

Thirteen years after The Empire Strikes Back, the long-delayed finale arrived in 1996 — six episodes that brought the original trilogy to a close. Funding cuts had stalled production for more than a decade, but the conclusion was completed at last, with Anthony Daniels returning one final time as C-3PO, joined by Brock Peters as Darth Vader, John Lithgow's Yoda, and Ed Asner as Jabba the Hutt. Still carried by John Williams' score and the original sound effects, it's Return of the Jedi as you've never heard it. | #RRStarWarsLook for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

[School of Movies 2026] The first Star Wars movie released in cinemas after seven long years since The Rise of Skywalker. It's a crowd-pleaser, a simple, space western from the director of Cowboys & Aliens, Zathura and Iron Man 1 & 2. And not a lot of people showed up for it, which feels like a damn shame, since just the experience of being sat there with the Ludwig Göransson score blasting through a sound system that costs a hundred times what most of us have in our living room was quite extraordinary. There's also something to be said for the miraculous creations we get to see blown up to proportions suited to IMAX, from the gestalt entity of Mando himself, to the pugilist son of Jabba the Hutt, and most especially the special little green gremlin who we get to spend some unexpectedly intense close time with. This film has been easy to dismiss, but there's more to it than the homogenisation of Disney Plus affords us. This week's After School Club: Happy Birthday to Me (1981) Next Week: Masters of the Universe (2026)

“Heel” is one word, and it sent listener mail pouring in from every direction. Alex Kormann and Erin McGowan take over the mailbag while Matthew Fox is away, working through questions and reactions on both Maul: Shadow Lord and The Mandalorian and Grogu: the empathic link Maul's lightsaber formed with Devon, Captain Lawson's flat ending, and whether a single training command reveals something about how the franchise still thinks of Grogu.The deeper the mail goes, the bigger the questions get. Is Grogu a Mandalorian who happens to use the Force, or is there still a Jedi path ahead? What does it mean that Rotta the Hutt might be his most natural long-term companion? And where does Colonel Ward fit in a story that still hasn't figured out what to do with Sigourney Weaver? The conversation doesn't settle anything. That's the point.Full show notes and resources here.Recommended Listening: Make Me a Nerd with Mandy Kaplan**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

All good things must come to an end—including our Mandalorian and Grogu coverage.This week, we're picking up the second half of The Mandalorian and Grogu with Embo's assault on the Nevarro cabin. Along the way, we listen for echoes of Star Wars past, from callbacks to Yoda on Dagobah to memories of Boba Fett's takeover on Tatooine. We discuss the Hutt succession plan (or lack thereof?!) and wonder how the New Republic plans to fill a massive power vacuum in the Outer Rim. Finally, we consider that the Mandalorian and Grogu's efforts on Nal Hutta may inspire a new wave of young heroes.Next week, join us for the premiere of Star Wars: Resistance!Timestamps:00:00:00 Who Are We?00:03:36 Plot Summary00:16:28 Echoes of Star Wars Past00:24:38 The Hutt Succession Plan, Or Lack Thereof00:46:57 A New Wave of Heroism00:58:02 Bae Watch01:05:47 Closing ThoughtsWant more Growing Up Skywalker?

Star Wars Generations takes a deep dive in to the movie everyone's been talking about. Matthew Alex, and Erin each saw “The Mandalorian and Grogu” - Erin and Alex saw it twice - and came back with very different scorecards: Alex at a solid 7 and warming, Erin filling six notebook pages, Matthew the most skeptical of the three but glad Star Wars is in theaters again.They dig into what the movie actually gets right: the creature work, the score, the Anzelens stealing scenes, the Hutt-on-Hutt violence nobody knew they needed. And they do not let the weaker choices slide. Rotta the Hutt's “I just want to be my own man” dialogue, Sigourney Weaver as a glorified NPC, the absent acknowledgment of Carl Weathers, and the tacked-on space battle all get their moment. Was this a soft relaunch or a missed opportunity? That's the question still hanging in the air when the credits roll.Full show notes and resources here.**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Join Tricia Barr and Sarah Woloski in a deep dive into spoiler territory for The Mandalorian and Grogu. While Din Djarin might not have moved quite as far as we expected, Grogu's journey in this movie was a pleasant surprise. Also a surprise, Rotta the Hutt's evolution from Stinky, the son of Jabba the Hutt in the Clone Wars animated movie, to a rebellious older teen stepping out from under his father's shadow. In this episode, we also dig into some favorite music pieces from the soundtrack and share our adventures at the Disney Parks on the movie's opening day.  For our video of the behind-the-scenes tour, check out our special Youtube episode from last week.

Jason, Rachel and Jesh continue the Thumb War Star Wars rewatch with a spoiler-filled review of The Mandalorian and Grogu. Is it a real Star Wars movie, or does it feel like The Mandalorian Season 4 got squeezed into a theatrical release? We discuss Grogu as a character vs. Grogu as a toy, Pedro Pascal's helmet-based performance, the lack of stakes, the surprisingly strong opening sequence, Sigourney Weaver, Jeremy Allen White, Rotta the Hutt, Dave Filoni cameos, Star Wars fatigue, and whether Baby Yoda still has the juice. Ash came in with a more generous take. Jason and Rachel came in with notes. Many, many notes. Spoilers for The Mandalorian and Grogu and the broader Star Wars universe.

But does Pedro Pascal need to go rescue little "Stinky the Hutt" now that he's grown into big, buff Jeremy Allen White (The Bear)?
