Podcasts about Lando Calrissian

Today we discuss Trouble on Cloud City, the penultimate book of the Young Jedi Knights series. Lando is planning to open up a new theme park on Cloud City, and invites Jacen, Jaina, Tenel Ka, Zekk, and Lowie to test it out. Anja comes too, but she's struggling with her growing friendship with the twins and her hatred of Han Solo. She's also getting low on spice, and only Czethros can supply her with more.

Continuing this year's Star Wars project, we rewatched what many consider to be the best in the series, with its darker tone and iconic twist. We meet (again) Yoda and Lando, take a cruise through an asteroid field, and get our hand chopped off! What fun!Today's root beer is Dog n Suds.Intro and Outro music by Stockmusic331 on Pond5Send us Fan Mail

In 1983, the team behind NPR's record-breaking Star Wars returned for the darker, colder middle chapter — The Empire Strikes Back, told across ten episodes. Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels were back as Luke and C-3PO, Billy Dee Williams reprised Lando Calrissian from the film, and a young John Lithgow voiced Yoda, all set to the original sound effects and John Williams' score. From the frozen wastes of Hoth to the clouds of Bespin, it's the Star Wars sequel 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.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 12, 2026 is: blandishment • BLAN-dish-munt • noun Blandishments are nice things that you say or do to convince someone to do something. Blandishment is usually used in the plural form. // Despite the many blandishments of the dressing room attendant, we were resolved not to overspend at the fashion boutique. See the entry > Examples: “… he sought to turn the attack around by saying his vast wealth—which has allowed him to richly fund his political endeavors—made him immune to the blandishments of plutocrats and corporate interests.” — Mark Z. Barabak, The Los Angeles Times, 23 Feb. 2026 Did you know? When Star Wars audiences first meet former smuggler Lando Calrissian—played iconically by Billy Dee Williams—in The Empire Strikes Back, he is full of blandishments, offering flattery (telling Leia “You truly belong here with us among the clouds”) and gifts to our heroes in the form of food and drink (“Will you join me for a little refreshment?”) in order to entice them into what we soon discover is a trap. Notably, before the whole sordid deal goes down (and before Lando's eventual redemption), Han Solo calls him “an old smoothie.” Lando's verbal smoothness can be linked to blandishment too: the word was formed from the verb blandish, meaning “to coax with flattery.” Blandish ultimately comes from the Latin adjective blandus, meaning “influencing others by flattery,” source too of our adjective bland, which typically describes things boring and flavorless but which can also mean “smooth and soothing in manner or quality”—a meaning that also applies to everyone's favorite Cloud City administrator.

Pete and Armand discuss smooth-talking smuggler, Lando Calrissian and his role in Empire Strikes Back. Is he a scoundrel who found his way? or was he actually a hero from the very beginning?

"No, I am your father." This week on the pod, its a Be Kind Rewind! Dave & Cody revisit The Empire Strikes Back (1980) — the movie that turns 46 this year and might still be the greatest sequel ever made. We dig into what holds up (everything — the tone, Yoda, the carbonite scene, Harrison Ford ad-libbing the most iconic line in film history), what doesn't (Leia kissing Luke is a problem, and we need to talk about it), and the sincerity in this movie that almost nothing made today can replicate. Plus: Cody makes the boldest defense of "Last Jedi Luke" you'll ever hear, Dave argues that Lando Calrissian has been wrongly slandered for 46 years, and we explore the wild behind-the-scenes stories. We give a Pastor's Corner on "Do or do not, there is no try," and pick our winners and losers. Bonus: the Q'orianka Kilcher / James Cameron Avatar lawsuit. Will Masters of the Universe be a box office disaster? And a Terrence Malick rant nobody asked for.

Yet another in our project to watch every Star Wars movie in order, this week it was Han Solo's origin story. We've been saying for a while that we need more non-Anakin Star Wars stories, and this one fits the bill adequately. Today's root beer is Rocket Fizz with Nutmeg.Intro and Outro music by Stockmusic331 on Pond5Send us Fan Mail

With Easter behind us, demand is easing, milk production is climbing, and the spring flush is here. But beneath the surface, the dairy complex is anything but comfortable. In the latest episode of The Milk Check, host Ted Jacoby III and the Jacoby team look at the fault lines hiding beneath today's seemingly stable dairy market. In this episode, we cover: Why milk is getting longer, but not everywhere How added processing capacity is changing the spring flush Whether butter has found its floor, or is simply stuck Why energy may be the biggest wildcard in dairy right now From regional milk balances to butter's next move and the growing influence of energy costs, we look at what is really driving the dairy complex right now. To hear what could hold, what could crack and what the next few months may mean for dairy, listen to The Milk Check episode 97: Steady Markets, Shaky Ground. Got questions? We'd love to hear them. Submit below, and we might answer it on the show. Ask The Milk Check Ted Jacoby III: Coming up on the Milk Check. Joe Maixner: It’s really watching the energy markets because it’s going to affect literally everything. Ted Jacoby III: Welcome to the Milk Check from T.C. Jacoby and Company, your complete guide to dairy markets, from the milking parlor to the supermarket shelf. I’m Ted Jacoby. Let’s dive in. Today is April 6th, 2026. It’s the day after Easter. it’s also the birthday of a few illustrious people like Paul Rudd, Lando Calrissian, or actually Billy D. Williams and our own Joe Maixner, and we’re here to talk about dairy markets today. Sorry, Joe, and we’re here to talk about dairy markets today, and what we’re gonna be talking about is it’s the day after Easter and demand for the next oh five months or so tends to slow down a bit, while milk production tends to pick up and it’s peaking probably right as we speak, and over the course of the next four to five weeks. So, what does that mean for the dairy landscape? What does that mean for the price landscape? When I started thinking about what we were gonna talk about for this podcast, the market seemed to be in a lull right now. And then I realized it’s that time of the year. The question is, are they gonna stay here? Are they gonna go lower? We know that milk production is gonna continue to increase, especially in the Midwest, and we know that the next demand event of any significance is at least five to six months away. But where we’ll start is we’ll start with milk production. This is the time of year when things tend to get a little bit long. Gus, is milk long right now? Gus Jacoby: Depends what region of the U.S. you wanna talk about. From what I understand, there’s some areas of the West that are very long. The upper Midwest, when you have plants go down, it gets a bit ugly. But looking into the mid East, the Northeast, the Southeast, certainly the Southwest, where there’s quite a bit of new processing capacity, all these areas, are not all that long. It’s certainly the spring flush, but when you look at the Milk Production Report, you would think they would be a lot longer. And I think additional processing capacity in all these regions that we just discussed are where we’re a little bit shorter than we anticipated, considering what time of year it is. Ted Jacoby III: Usually, this time of year we’re hearing of milk moving at 2, 3, 4, $5 under. Is that happening this April? Gus Jacoby: There’s some spots in the upper Midwest where it gets that discounted, yes. But I would say that has more to do with plants being down in addition to the surplus that causes it to get that long. I think if everything is functioning in the region — in the upper Midwest, Mideast or anywhere on the Eastern corridor — you’re not seeing quite the growth that’s shown in the Milk Production Report. Anytime you see north of 2.5% or 3% in a Milk Production Report, usually that means the flush is a really ugly period of time. But in these regions of the country, we’ve added enough processing capacity to balance things out a bit more and not make it quite as long as you would think. Ted Jacoby III: So we didn’t really add any plants west of the Rocky Mountains. And in that case, the flush, especially in California, is probably already in the rear view mirror. Are we seeing milk really long in California and along the west coast right now? Gus Jacoby: I’ve heard that California, for a while there did get pretty long. That area hasn’t had the additional processing capacity outside of the Pasco facility to deal with the level of surplus we have in those regions. Ted Jacoby III: That means it’s fair to say that we’re in the flush right now, maybe past the flush out West Milk has gotten long, milk is plentiful, but we’ve added enough milk processing capacity that generally speaking, as long as there in, there are not any plant breakdowns. We seem to be able to handle the additional milk supply and we’re getting it all processed. Gus Jacoby: Yes, that’s the truth. Joe Maixner: The West has been running full for the past couple of months. But cream has not been super long. It’s been getting into the churns, but it’s also been finding homes elsewhere and it’s had decent demand. It’s been a little surprising that we haven’t had as excess of cream as we would’ve anticipated given how long milk has been. Ted Jacoby III: What about on the powder side? I’ve heard that the plants are not necessarily dumping any milk, but the plants are full enough that they can’t run anything specialty. So, all they’re running is straight up nonfat dry milk, which these days with protein component values in the milk the way they are, 38% protein, but they’re just running ’em flat out to get all that milk processed and dried. Is that a fair way to put it? Josh White: Yeah, I would say so. Ted Jacoby III: Okay. Milk’s getting processed. We’re making a lot of it, but Easter’s now in the rear view mirror. Since our runup, late January, early February, the cheese market seems to have settled into a price somewhere in the $1.60s, the butter market’s been $1.70s, $1.80s, it popped up over $2 and it seems to have faded since. Is it in its sweet spot yet, or where do you think the butter market will go over the next three to four months? Joe Maixner: I think there’s a lot of factors that go into where the butter market’s gonna price over the next few months. Obviously, we’ve got the macro events going on, the conflict in the Middle East, that’s pulled a lot of export opportunity out, as we’ve talked about at length in the past few podcasts. But there’s been a lot of product trading in this 15¢ to 20¢ range that we’ve been in over the past couple of weeks, and it seems that we’ve found a good range where buyers and sellers are happy to move product. There’s probably not much more downside potential at this price. But it’s a very real possibility that we could just stagnate here for the next few months until we see any type of real demand shift and production dies off into the summer. Ted Jacoby III: Are we gonna continue to be exporting butter? Joe Maixner: Yeah, absolutely. We’re still seeing exports move. Obviously we’ve lost some of our largest growth markets with this conflict, at least temporarily. But we’re still exporting to other regions, and all of those markets are growing. Will it be enough to offset the losses? I’m not sure, but we’re still moving product out of the country. Ted Jacoby III: The cheese export numbers have been phenomenal for about the last six months. We’ve been up over 30% year over year, almost to the extent of being a little bit surprising. Are we gonna be able to keep that up, do you think? Or is this market going to peter out a little bit ? Jacob Menge: You gotta suspect that you stop getting the blockbuster export numbers before too long because it has been two months now since we’ve come off of kind of those rock bottom prices that we were at. I think that will certainly take the top off of those export numbers. Cheese in general has probably been one of the quieter of the dairy markets, probably the quietest. It’s been sneaky though. There’s been these moments where it’s been hard to find product. There’s been moments where you can find product and I think it definitely is a tale of exactly what cheese you’re looking for. I don’t think colored cheddar has been particularly hard to come by. Meanwhile, white, for export has been pretty tough. All of that has resulted in this really nice gentle climb higher on cheese prices. We’re starting to see some cracks in the floor, especially internationally. We’re hearing mozz prices starting to get some pushback outta Europe. Those blockbuster export numbers on the cheese side are probably nearing an end. And if not then I think that’s gonna be the only thing that can keep driving the cheese price appreciably higher from where it’s at. If we can keep getting these pretty impressive numbers, sure, I don’t see why we couldn’t keeps stair stepping higher. Ted Jacoby III: Where the export numbers go, the price of cheese goes. Is that a fair way to put it? Jacob Menge: It certainly seems like an export driven market right now. Our opinion kinda long term is that’s U.S. cheese. This last year or so, maybe more 18 months, reflecting back on it, been the coming of age era for a serious export driven cheese price in the U.S. Historically, obviously export have played a factor, but it seems like that’s going to be the dominant force today and in the future. Ted Jacoby III: Yeah, I think I’d have to agree with that. And then there’s nonfat. Josh, this nonfat market, it sure went a lot higher than anybody expected. Even when it started to rally, we thought it could go up into the $1.50s, $1.60s, but I don’t think we expected the $1.90s. Is this market gonna stay here? Where does this market feel like it’s at today? And how does play out from here? Josh White: It’s still a tight market, Ted. Seems like there’s some commitments that are still behind. On the manufacturing level, it seems like demand’s been very strong. Let’s be clear, the West Coast is running a lot of nonfat right now, and it’s not changing the climate. Where we’re really seeing the vacancy in production is in the middle part of the country. It’s pretty well reported now. Everyone’s clueing in on this idea that there’s just been a lot of growth in the protein beverage market and in the UF space, and that seems to have kept a lid on our production growth for nonfat dry milk relative to the milk production growth and the protein growth that we’re experiencing in the milk. So yeah, it still remains pretty strong. There’s still good demand. Yeah, there’s a lot more conversations and we’re having a lot of conversations with customers across all the different industries that consume dairy products about what these higher prices mean. Are they real? Are they here to stay? If you look at the futures curve though, we’re way higher than that current futures price, and it’s an inverted curve, so we’re gonna have to pay a lot of attention to how that plays out, particularly as we get into these heavier milk production months, domestically and in Europe. But to be clear, there’s a lot of milk; that milk’s being processed into a lot of products; but in the U.S. side, we’re not seeing huge nonfat increases. I think across the pond though, they’re making a lot more skim milk powder, and they’re the beneficiaries of this tight market right now. Clearing a lot of that product into the international clients that, historically may have been looking to the U.S. as well. Ted Jacoby III: Do you think that means we’re gonna be export handicapped for the next three to four months that might just weaken the demand side of the equation for U.S. nonfat? Josh White: Yeah. The trade’s not as free as we all hope and expect it to be, and what I mean by that is there’s barriers to entry for bringing, like European product into Mexico. Approved brands across the world that might make it more difficult to exchange one supplier for another. But I think the answer to your question, the longer we maintain this type of premium, the less likely we are to export into some contestable markets. And it’s really tough when you’re talking about managing supply chain over the course of a year to get that right. There’s a real possibility that, we could miss some business that we wished we had later in the year. But, as it stands right now, it’s not like we’re sitting on a lot of extra product to move. Ted Jacoby III: So, when we look to the next, 1, 2, 3 months, things are tight enough. The nonfat market’s still coming from a place of overcommitment and then still trying to work through that. And there’s No reason to think that we’re gonna be trading nonfat in the $1.20s by Memorial Day. Josh White: No reason to think that. I think that we’re putting ourselves in a position where now’s the moment where we can take a little bit of the pressure off the market. We’re starting to see a little bit more seasonal milk in the middle part of the country. Nothing compared to what we saw a year ago going through the dryers, but we are starting to see maybe some signs of some relief. Ted Jacoby III: Proteins is the other market that seems to be shooting for the moon, up there with Artemis II. Are those protein prices gonna stay there or are they gonna come down? Josh White: Pointed question. Not for the second quarter, it sure doesn’t feel like they’re coming down. Every spot load that I see offered trades almost in the air. There still seems to be really good demand despite higher prices. And also despite a lot of customers asking about substitution. The answer to that question is maybe different for the next quarter than it might be for the next year. We’ll have to see. But as it stands right now as it relates to whey proteins, no slowdown in demand. Price strength remains, loads are very expensive. Conversations are less about the willingness to buy product than they are about the credit worthiness to sell that product to the clients because of just how expensive a load of WPC 80 or WPI cost today. We’re also starting to see some momentum in the MPC markets. Shouldn’t be a surprise. MPC 85 prices have been increasing. We’re starting to see customers that have the flexibility to do some substitution between WPCs and MPCs, considering it. More conversations about alternatives within the dairy complex like caseins and caseinate. But then, I have to imagine there’s also conversations happening about substitution outside of the dairy complex for plant proteins and alternative proteins. It’s a challenging market. Certainly a good sign that the consumer, particularly in the U.S. is paying a lot of attention not to just wanting more protein in their diet, but also the quality of the protein that they’re consuming. And it’ll be really interesting over the next year to see that tug of war: the valorization of high-quality, highly digestible dairy proteins, versus cheaper proteins going into certain applications and how the consumer responds to those economies. Ted Jacoby III: What’s the one product in the dairy complex right now that you’re really worried about? Because right now we just went through all the major commodities and there seems to be at least stability in the short term. Which one do you think breaks first in terms of price? What market should we be paying attention to if this dairy complex is gonna start to weaken on us? Jacob Menge: I’m paying most attention to butter right now, because I think the butter price has made these kind of violent moves. Not nonfat, violent, but more like consistently trending lower all last year. And then it’s made a pretty good recovery with that new crop, old crop switch. And then it’s trended lower from there. I think that’s important because that’s gonna have a big impact on that Class III, Class IV spread. And I think that Class III, Class IV spread is gonna ultimately drive some decisions at the fluid level, which is gonna have knock on effects for export markets, not just for butter, right? This is for all of these products. Because of that butter price , I think the math can be swayed one way or the other depending on where that goes. We have these kind of baked in assumptions on, okay, nonfat’s probably not staying at $2 through 2026, okay. We have some baked in assumptions on cheese. I think that means that decision maker is butter. And would anybody be shocked if it went up 50¢? Probably not. Would anybody be shocked if it went down another 10¢ or so? Probably not. I think you certainly would have debates around this, but that changes that Class III, Class IV spread enough that I think that has a lot of knock on effects. Ted Jacoby III: That makes a lot of sense. Josh, what about you? Which market are you paying attention to the most? Josh White: I would just say just the market. I think nonfat’s the obvious answer to that, but our entire dairy markets have been really changed this year by this protein movement. And what I can’t get my head around is the GLP-1 and cheaper GLP-1 catalyst. At what moment does a hundred dollars to fill a gas tank on a sedan start to change what people are willing to spend? That’s the one that I can’t really get my head around because it would be very easy to say, “Look out: these high protein products are here to stay.” The science backs it; people are eating less calories, but better calories. And that absolutely works for dairy proteins. But then on the other side, when you’re forced to make a decision about how you spend your money are you gonna get to a point where it’s choosing whether or not to fill your gas tank or whether or not to buy the powdered isolate. I wonder if we find that threshold at some moment this year. Ted Jacoby III: Yeah, I think that’s a great answer. Which market do you think is affecting the dairy markets the most right now? It’s the gas market. I think that’s fair. Joe, how about you? Joe Maixner: I’m clearly watching butter for obvious reasons. But I echo what Josh is saying. It’s really watching the energy markets because it’s going to affect literally everything over the course of this year. Jake brought up a great point about the Class III, Class IV spread, though. With the strength in nonfat, I hadn’t given a whole lot of thought process to butter’s impact in Class IV because you’re seeing Class IV through the rest of the year and into 27 at a minimum in the mid eighteens level which is a dollar premium to Class III, even with an inverted nonfat market. That’s definitely one to keep an eye on as well. But again, as a whole, just energy, energy’s going to affect everything all the way down to the consumer level. Ted Jacoby III: Yeah, I guess I agree. Gus, what are your thoughts on this market? Gus Jacoby: It’s hard not to talk about energy right now. That’s pretty obvious. Certainly when you’re hauling milk it has a big impact. Those fuel surcharges, hiking up to the degree that they have has made hauling milk quite a bit more expensive, considering the amount of water that’s being hauled and how much more expensive it is.  That is something we can’t control. None of these markets are anything we can control. But when it comes to the dairy markets, I think the skim solids is something that has been very interesting to me. Gus Jacoby: How tight that market gets, the limitation that cheese has in getting fortification solids, are we gonna start turning to powder to fortify, and can cheese plants afford it with the Class III, Class IV spread as we shift, obviously with this protein demand continuing to increase and all the other areas that skin solids are required. I think it’s going to have a ripple effect on our industry that’s gonna take a while for us to get used to as skim continues to, find more and more demand. So, for me, it’s an interesting marketplace and I’ve been paying a lot of attention to that lately. Ted Jacoby III: Sounds good. Awesome. Thanks guys very much. I thought that was a nice summary of what’s going on in our markets right now. We’ll see how the next few months play out. Appreciate the time. Thanks for joining us today, and everybody stay safe out there.

They also reveal their personal ratings and debate where this classic ranks in the original trilogy.Highlights Breakdown:

This episode marks the HALFWAY point in the original Classic Marvel Star Wars series that ran from 1977-1986! We break down Issue 54: “STARFIRE RISING” from September 1981, which serves as a continuation of repurposed JOHN CARTER, WARLORD OF MARS artwork created for the cancelled comic series. Not wanting to waste unused artwork which was done by the same artists as the Star Wars series, Chris Claremont was brought in to write a new Star Wars story based on that existing art. Then Walter Simonson adapted art to fit these issues 53 and 54, and Viola you have new Star Wars!    We are not sure why this issue is called STARFIRE RISING, but it should have been called CRUSH ON LEIA, since the story revolves around Aron Peacebringer (John Carter) having an existential crisis over his adulterous thoughts on Princess Leia. You can tell the moment the art switches from repurposed John Carter to Star Wars towards the end of the issue. Please enjoy.   Today in Star Wars History - May 29, 2019   After a thirty-three-year hiatus, Marvel Comics continues their classic Star Wars series with the release of issue #108 - Forever Crimson. We covered this issue in episode 495 since it was a direct continuation of issue #50: Crimson Forever which came out in 1981. Forever Crimson, published in celebration of Marvel's 80th anniversary, encompasses five short stories that feature Jaxxon, Amaiza Foxtrain, and the droid-hating Valance the Hunter.     #54 “STARFIRE RISING"   Release Date: September 22, 1981 Writer: Chris Claremont Artwork: Walt Simonson, Carmine Infantino Coloring: Glynis Wein Cover Art:  Walt Simonson   Imperial General Sk'ar captures Aron Peacebringer and Princess Leia. As the two heroes struggle against their bonds, Aron discovers that his friend Delois, has turned traitor and joined forces with Sk'ar. Now Delois and Skar plan to bomb Aron's government - The Calian Confederacy.    When all seems lost, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, and Aron's best friend Kéral Longknife arrive to fight the Imperials. Leia finds Sk'ar's anti-matter bomb and begins defusing it, but will she diffuse it in time or will this world be wiped out just like Alderaan?    We take our Facebook Group Comments on the cover into account as we analyze this issue.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHTHE DEAD SPEAK! The opening crawl reveals that a mysterious broadcast has been heard across the galaxy in the voice of the late Emperor Palpatine. BUT HOW?! Leia dispatches agents across the galaxy to gather information on this, while Kylo Ren, now Supreme Leader of the First Order, searches for Palpatine in an effort to eliminate all potential threats to his power.Kylo Ren finds this triangle thing which leads him to a hidden planet where he finds Palpatine, still kicken.  Palpatine unveils a fleet of Star Destroyers and offers it to Kylo if he finds and kills Rey, who is continuing her Jedi training under Leia. During Rey's training, She has a chat with Kylo Ren through their Force bond—brief flashes of the past—and accidentally crushes BB-8 during training. I was so mad at her for hurting sweet BB-8.Poe announces to the Resistance that Palpatine is alive and plans to unleash his fleet. To stop him, they need the Sith Finder which Rey believes to be on a planet called Pasanna.The. crew lands during a sick dance party. Rey meets a local who gives her a necklace—through their Force bond, Kylo take it from her and determines her location. Rey is soon approached by Leia's contact—Lando Calrissian. He explains that he and Luke once searched for a Sith hunter named Ochi, who may have held the key to finding the Wayfinder. They found his ship, but no trace of him.Stormtroopers arrive, and the heroes flee into the desert, falling into quicksand that leads to an underground cave. There, they find a Sith dagger inscribed with a clue. Unfortunately, C-3PO's programming prevents him from translating Sith text.Rey senses Kylo approaching and confronts him while the others prepare for takeoff. She brings down Kylo's ship but is shocked to see Chewie captured. As she and Kylo both use the Force to stop a transport from leaving, Rey loses control and unleashes Force lightning—destroying the ship and, seemingly, killing Chewie.Don't worry - Chewie is fine. He was on a different ship and they're going to hold him captive.Poe takes the gang to see an old friend, Zorii Bliss. She takes them to a tiny little fella who can bypass 3PO's programming so that 3P0 will finally translate the Sith text, but will also erase his memory. Suddenly, the First Order arrives, having tracked the group. Rey senses that Chewie is alive on their Star Destroyer—they realize he must have been on a different transport. The crew sneaks onto the ship. While Finn and Poe are captured, Rey goes to  retrieves the dagger, has a force battle with Kylo, and has a vision of the emporer killing her parents, who were hiding her to protect her. Kylo tells her it's because she's a Palpatine. The captives are about to be executed—but General Hux intervenes, revealing himself as the spy. He helps them escape, explaining he doesn't care who wins, as long as Kylo loses. Rey refuses to join Kylo Ren in destroying Palpatine and the crew escapes with Chewie and the Falcon. Hux is immediately killed for being a spy. The team heads to where the Death Star wreckage lies. They meet Jannah, a former stormtrooper who, like Finn, escaped the First Order. Rey finds the Wayfinder—but experiences a dark vision of herself as a Sith Vampire combo package. Kylo shows up and they begin to fight. Suddenly, Kylo gets a vision of his mom, Leia, taking her last breath. He drops his lightsaber which Rey catches and uses to stab him. But then when she feels like Leia is dead, she heals Kylo so he can mourn without pain:? idk man. Kylo has a vision of his father who encourages him to return to the light. Kylo throws his lightsaber into the water. Poe is named General and doubts his ability to lead. Lando comes outta nowhere to give him a pep talk. Intending to exile herself like Luke, Rey tries to destroy her lightsaber, but Luke's Force ghost appears. He tells her that Leia knew all along who she was and still believed in her. He gives her Leia's saber and helps her retrieve the Wayfinder from Kylo's ship. Rey pilots Luke's old ship. With a signal from Luke's ship coming through, the Resistance prepares for battle. Poe and Finn lead the attack, on horse back cuz duh. Rey shows up to confronts Palpatine. Dude is pumped to see his granddaughter. He says he doesn't want to kill her, rather he wants her to kill him so his spirit will enter her and they can lead together. Kylo shows up and they fight together, sharing Leia's saber through the Force. Papetine enjoys the show and then uses his lightning fingers on both of them which is like draining their power. The Resistance attacks Palpatine's fleet, but they're outmatched. Just as hope fades, Lando arrives with a massive fleet from across the galaxy.As Rey lies on the ground, she hears the voices of past Jedi who encourage her to get up! She confronts Palpatine again, deflecting his lightning with both Luke and Leia's sabers. As he declares “I am all the Sith,” Rey responds, “And I... am all the Jedi,” and destroys him.She's on the verge of death from the blast, but Kylo climbs out of the pit he was throw in and revives her with his own life force.

She ponders the answer until she sees the ghost of Luke and Leia smiling at her and she says Rey Skywalker as she and BB9 watch the twin suns. 

While Star Wars Outlaws had a rocky start when it was released last year, I have to give Ubisoft a ton of credit for taking the time to fix it up and making it fun for fans of the franchise and those of action-adventure titles. After releasing the Wild Card DLC late last year featuring the beloved Lando Calrissian, the second one, Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate's Fortune, has finally come and brings a lot of cool things to the Sabacc table to keep players busy long after the last mission is done.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHIt's a lawless time, y'all. Organized crime syndicates are running a muck since the fall of the Galactic Republic, forcing others to fight for survival. On the industrial ship-building planet Corellia, Lady Proxima, leader of the White Worms gang, is after a hyperfuel known as coaxium. That's when we meet Han. He is trying to escape Corellia for good. He feels confident he can do that after getting his hands on some coaxium.  His girlfriend Qi'ra is pumped. But as they go to escape, they are found by some of Proxima's baddies and are taken to her. He's like oh I don't have an coaxium, but what i do have is THIS! He pulls out a rock and throws it through a window which lets in light which Proximia and her species are allergic to and they escape! But it does take long for them to catch up with him and a chase ensues. They bribe an Imperial officer at a spaceport for passage off-world. Han makes it through, but Qi'ra is captured at the last moment. Separated by a security gate, Han promises to return for her.Alone and desperate, Han enlists in the Imperial Navy. When asked for his surname, he's called “Solo” since he claims to have no family. Fast forward three years, Han has been expelled from flight school for acting a fool and is now down in the mud of a battle. There, he encounters a group of thieves disguised as soldiers—Tobias Beckett, Val, and Rio. When Han tries to blackmail his way into their crew, Beckett has him arrested and thrown into a pit with a deadly creature: a Wookiee named Chewbacca.Han and Chewbacca form a quick alliance, escaping together and convincing Beckett to take them in. Realizing Chewbacca's brute strength is valuable, Beckett agrees. The crew sets off for their next job—stealing coaxium from a moving train. The heist goes sideways when they're ambushed by a gang of pirates. Rio is fatally shot, Val sacrifices herself, and the coaxium is lost in the chaos.Beckett reveals they were working for Dryden Vos, a high-ranking figure in the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate, and now owe him. To make amends, Han and Chewbacca offer to help steal unrefined coaxium from the mines on Kessel. Beckett agrees and takes them to Dryden's luxurious yacht, where Han reunites with Qi'ra—now a high-ranking lieutenant.Vos approves the plan but insists Qi'ra accompany them. She leads them to the suave smuggler Lando Calrissian, hoping to use his ship, the Millennium Falcon. Han loses a rigged card game to Lando but convinces him to join the mission in exchange for a cut. With Lando's droid co-pilot L3-37 onboard, the team sets off.On Kessel, L3 sparks a riot among droid slaves, while Chewbacca breaks off to free Wookiee prisoners. The team escapes with the coaxium, but L3 is destroyed and Lando is injured. Using L3's navigational system, Han pilots the Falcon. Han hatches a plan to outsmart Dryden Vos. It's a classic double cross station. When they meet again, Dryden exposes Beckett as his informant. But Han had anticipated the betrayal—the coaxium given to Vos is real, and the fake decoy was a bluff.Beckett takes Chewbacca and the coaxium hostage, but Han later confronts and shoots him before he can retaliate. Meanwhile, Qi'ra kills Dryden Vos but secretly contacts her true boss: Darth Maul. She takes Vos's ship and leaves, choosing to embrace her role.Han tracks down Lando and challenges him to a rematch in cards. This time, Han wins, gaining ownership of the Millennium Falcon.With Chewbacca by his side, Han sets off for Tatooine, following a tip about a powerful gangster—Jabba the Hutt—looking for smugglers for a big job.

How do you follow up a genuine once-in-a-lifetime pop culture phenomenon like the initial release of Star Wars in 1977?  Well if you're writer/director/producer George Lucas, you use your ownership of the franchise to continue the story but in a unique new direction with a new director (Irwin Kirsher) along with a new up-and-coming writer (Lawrence Kasdan) to take over most creative decisions.  You also decide to bring back most of the main cast (Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, David Prowse/James Earl Jones, Peter Mayhew) while deciding to introduce some exciting new characters including Yoda (Frank Oz) and Lando Calrissian).  Beyond that.....larger scale, more unpredictable twists, and a cliffhanger ending which left many audiences at the time genuinely suprised.  And what resulted was not only an enduring classic which not only redefined the genre but sequels for decades to come.....on the eve of its 45th Anniversary and just in time for May The Fourth, it's time to return to A Galaxy Far, Far Away!   Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

In this week's episode Greg and Patrick explore the extremely clever yet inexplicably underused method of dominance analysis which offers a set of techniques for determining the relative importance of predictors in a regression model. Along the way they also discuss giving compliments, looking tired, Indy vs. F1, chicken paprikas, Gustav Holst, Fozzie Bear, not paying attention while recording, Lewis Hamilton pin-ups, Lando Calrissian, equation forts, being appallingly cool, making no sense at all, and magnums of champagne. Stay in contact with Quantitude!

In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Thomas and Frank take on The Empire Strikes Back, widely considered the greatest Star Wars film ever made. They discuss the film's lasting impact, John Williams' legendary score, and the way it expanded the lore of the Force. They also break down iconic moments, including the Hoth battle, Han and Leia's relationship, and that legendary twist. Plus, they explore the film's bold choice of ending on a downbeat note, setting the stage for Return of the Jedi. Join the conversation as they geek out over one of cinema's most defining sequels! Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to The Empire Strikes Back discussion 00:27 Childhood memories of watching Star Wars 01:36 Why Empire still holds up today 02:06 The Battle of Hoth – one of the greatest sci-fi battles 03:22 Luke's journey to Dagobah and training with Yoda 03:43 Han, Leia, and the Millennium Falcon escape into an asteroid field 04:22 The introduction of Lando Calrissian 04:47 Boba Fett's first major appearance 05:21 Han Solo's fate – the carbonite freezing scene 06:10 The epic duel: Luke vs. Vader 06:37 I am your father – The biggest twist in Star Wars history 07:20 The dark and uncertain ending of the film 08:10 Why Empire is considered the best Star Wars film 09:38 Fun facts and behind-the-scenes trivia 10:50 Next week's challenge: Christopher Reeve's Superman Key Takeaways: The Empire Strikes Back took a bold narrative risk by allowing the villains to win, setting up an emotional and engaging third act in Return of the Jedi. The film introduced deeper concepts of the Force, expanding the mythology of the Star Wars universe. John Williams' score played a crucial role in the film's storytelling, with the introduction of The Imperial March becoming an iconic piece of music. Luke's training on Dagobah emphasized the spiritual and philosophical aspects of the Force, making Yoda one of the franchise's most beloved characters. Han and Leia's dynamic flourished in this film, leading to one of cinema's most legendary love lines: Leia: "I love you." Han: "I know." The duel between Luke and Vader is one of the most emotionally charged and well-executed fight scenes in film history. The film's ending left audiences stunned, proving that not all sequels need a happy ending to be effective. Memorable Quotes: “Darth Vader standing in that pastel Cloud City room is like a black hole pulling in all the light—it's just cold as hell.” – Frank “Luke's reaction to the ‘I am your father' reveal is so raw—it's not cool, it's real, and that's why it works.” – Thomas “We saw Yoda as this tiny, odd creature, but his wisdom and philosophy on the Force changed how we saw Jedi forever.” – Frank “The Empire winning in this movie was unheard of—it left audiences stunned and eager for more.” – Thomas Call to Action: Love The Empire Strikes Back?
