This week we're taking a close up look at that age old question that's puzzled millions for decades - SO WHAT THE HECK ARE MIDICHLORIANS? Inspired by a 2013 StarWars.com article by JW Rinzler, we're talking about how George Lucas' thoughts on the Force and just who can use it and why have and have not changed, why Sabine's journey in Ahsoka honors that why people should just relax about the whole microscopic life forms thing. So take a blood sample, listen today and celebrate the love!

In literally their most literate and literary episode yet, David and Ryan venture into the reference library to talk about their favorite prop books and movie books.  They cover everything from the essential JW Rinzler collection to a must-have series of 1982 “making of” articles written about Conan the Barbarian.  Magazines, remember them?  A walk through the Mandel and Condal stacks highlights tomes covering Star Wars (of course), Indiana Jones, the Alien series, The Godfather, Kubrick, The Muppets, Blade Runner, Once Upon a Time in the West, and even a making of book very close to Ryan's heart: House of the Dragon!

The lads are in a nostalgic mood this month with a look back at Celebration Europe 3, which was 5 years ago this month. Panels, exhibits, costumes, celebs, swag and socials are all reminisced. Some great new acquisitions are discussed, from the team and elsewhere, and there's a feisty Action Figure Face-Off - can anyone beat The Fett? In Rebel Briefings the team discusses the sale of the podcast's spiritual home the Star Wars Forum U.K., celebrates the launch of the Variant Villain website, notes the sad deterioration in the health of Star Wars author JW Rinzler, and looks forward to the first big U.K. collecting event post-Covid, Echo Live. For the Licensee section the boys take a trip to the land down under, and look at the Toltoys releases in Australia and New Zealand, making some surprising discoveries along the way. This month's main interview guest is our very own Richard Hutchinson who unbelievably up til now has never had a feature interview. The lads discuss flat caps, whippets, R5-D4, Celebrations, the Expanded Universe and how not to get beaten up in the frozen North. All this with the regular banter and bluster, look out for the podcast in the normal places.

On Episode 4 of X-Ray Vision, Jason Concepcion and Cody Ziglar have the high ground when talking about three incredible shorts in Disney+'s Star Wars: Visions (dropping 9/22)! In Previously On (1:26)… they go bananas (better than flinging their feces, right?) for the trailer of Hulu's upcoming Hit-Monkey series as well as recap the latest episode of What If…? and predict what's coming next. Then in The Airlock (17:09) Jason and Cody dive deep (deeeeep) on three shorts from Star Wars: Visions: “The Duel” (Kamikaze Douga), “Tatooine Rhapsody” (Studio Colorido), and “The Twins” (Studio TRIGGER). Next, Jason cracks open The Omnibus (42:23) to explore the life and work of visionary director Akira Kurosawa and his prominent influence on the Star Wars universe. In The Hive Mind (1:00:34), Jason, Cody, and writer Alicia Lutes question whether Star Wars needs cinema when it has such good serialized storytelling in Clone Wars, The Mandalorian, and more. Finally, in today's Endgame (1:19:57 )Jason & co. award their Medals of Yavin to the best characters from these three Visions shorts. Who was your favorite? Use #XRVEndgame to let us know!

Last week the family of J.W. Rinzler announced he had lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on July 28th at the age of 58. In a tribute to him on the StarWars.com website, George Lucas said the following. "With his kind and contemplative nature, you could see a glint in his eye, the wheels turning when he had a new idea and a quiet fervor with which he sought out ever more detail for the books he wrote and edited. The works he left behind are touchstones to times and places we can each remember and appreciate in our own way.” I'm rereleasing the episode I recorded with him and Juhi Khemani last summer today in his memory. I want to send my condolences to his family, who request that remembrances to him be made by donating to the Pancreatic Cancer Network. I know his memory and his work will live on for a long, long time to come.

Hey everyone, just thought we'd put together a little something as a tribute to the incredible author of so many of our favorite Star Wars non fiction books and friend of the show, the late Jonathan Rinzler. He was always so kind and supportive of us, even when we teased him and the weird sounds his cat made. Jonathan passed away at the age of 58 on July 28th, 2021 but his pioneering work, his giving spirit and warm support to Star Wars fans will live on forever. Here you'll find a message he recorded for us for one of our holiday special episodes and the audio from his talk with us in August 2018 in episode 137 where we talked to him about the early drafts of Return of the Jedi. Thank you again Jonathan. for without you we would have nothing to talk about.

I'm talking Bad Batch, the illustrious JW Rinzler, and we start our scene-by-scene commentary of The Last Jedi.  Extreeeeeme enthusiasm!

JW Rinzler is the prolific author of numerous "making of" books, including his acclaimed The Making of Alien.

Juhi Khemani joins John to talk to Rinzler about his work, Star Wars, Alien, why we should take the idea of (actual) aliens seriously, and how great science fiction can define a generation, reveal our humanity, and inspire us to get to space.  Rinzler on Twitter: @JWRinzler Juhi on Twitter: @juhikhemani Rinzler's Website: www.jwrinzler.com

By the time of Revenge of the Sith, the digital dream of the prequels finally existed and the movie was able to reach the limits of George Lucas and the art department's imaginations. With the manta of "go wild", the concept team designed what was at the time the final installment of the Skywalker saga's most ambitious episode yet. Join us as we take a fun filled, action packed look at JW Rinzler's genius 2005 art book, the unique look of ROTS, some creative roads not taken, and how the concepts of ROTS continue to echo into all of modern Star Wars!

Hello to all you Chimps, gorillas, orangutans and even you damn dirty Humanoids! Welcome back to Talking Apes! On this episode we feature an interview with author J.W. Rinzler about his NEW book, The Making of the Planet of the Apes. This has been a huge year for classic Planet of the Apes. In February the Ape community kicked off the 50th Anniversary with screenings and lots of new merchandise including graphic novels and books. One such book is the long-awaited, The Making of Planet of the Apes, by author JW Rinzler which is set for release 10/23 by Harper Collins. With a foreword by Fraser Heston, Charlton Heston's son, The Making of Planet of the Apes is an entertaining, informative experience that will transport readers back to the strange alternate Earth ruled by apes, and bring to life memorable characters such as Cornelius, Dr. Zira, Dr. Zaius, and Taylor, whose time-traveling sparks an incredible adventure. Meticulously researched and designed to capture the look and atmosphere of the film, The Making of Planet of the Apes is also packed with a wealth of concept paintings, storyboards, and never-before-seen imagery—including rare journal pages and sketches from Charlton Heston's private collection—as well as color and black-and-white unit photography, posters, and more unique ephemera. Comprehensive in scope, The Making of Planet of the Apes is the definitive look at the original blockbuster film, a must-have for fans, film buffs, and collectors alike. And yes, there is a Felix Silla/Gary Dubin discussion included in our conversation with JW Rinzler. Now Go Ape!

Rarely has a thirst for alternative versioning been quenched as completely as it was with the comics adaptation of The Star Wars, JW Rinzler's take on George Lucas' earliest draft of the original Star Wars script. With Mike Mayhew's wonderful art inspired and shaped by original designs, the early version came to life as can rarely be realized.Join John (@kesseljunkie) and Mike (@mumbles3k) as they explore this early stage of Star Wars history splashed on the comics page. What nuggets do they see nested in this early version that Lucas would hold onto, or reshape, in later drafts and films? It's an archaeological examination like no other.JOIN THE MISSION!Subscribe in Apple PodcastsFeedback: TheNerdParty.com/ContactFacebook: facebook.com/TheNerdPartyTwitter: @JoinNerdPartyInstagram: @TheNerdParty #GreatShotKid

Following on a previous REQUIRED READING that we did a year ago (go to episode 37.3 for that, https://soundcloud.com/wagesofcinema/making-of-star-wars), we now look at the making of EPISODE 5 in the Star Wars series, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. How did George Lucas do it? Should he have given himself a screenwriting credit (or given Leigh Brackett, may she rest in peace)? How did Irvin Kershner, Gary Kurtz, Lawrence Kasdan and Frank Oz make things so amazing? Who is Phil Tippett? Why should you care? Most of all - how the hell did this become harder to do than the first Star Wars? Listen here to find out details we discovered from this fabulous book by JW Rinzler. wagesofcinema@gmail.com (clips from the BBC special "The Risk Business" from 1980 are featured)

Needless to say a discussion of the making of George Lucas' STAR WARS (episode 4 a New Hope of course) and the book (a return of our REQUIRED READING segment) written meticulously by JW RINZLER goes into a tangent at one point about Alejandro Jodorowsky's DUNE. But, such is the way of Jack and Andrew at the Wages of Cinema. Hope you enjoy, this was a particularly fun one to record. Any comments, questions, thoughts on the show?
