In this episode of the Church Planter Podcast, Peyton Jones and Pete Mitchell are joined by Luke Mitchell for a special pop-culture episode on The Mandalorian and Grogu.After seven years without a Star Wars movie in theaters, they break down what worked, what didn't, and whether this film helped bring Star Wars back. From Mando's upgraded fighting skills to Grogu's loyalty, puppet effects, deep-cut Easter eggs, and the long shadow of The Last Jedi, this conversation is full of honest reactions, ridiculous banter, and plenty of Star Wars nerding out.If you love Star Wars, church planter humor, or just want to hear Peyton and Pete argue about huts, puppets, and whether Grogu is better than CGI, this one is for you.Resources and Links Mentioned in this Episode: Simplify Church: simplifychurch.com NewBreed TrainingThanks for listening to the Church Planter Podcast.

The Mandalorian Luke Skywalker scene was heroic and true to Luke Skywalker. This creator (popdetective) claims it's the FAKE Luke Skywalker and the one in The Last Jedi was the REAL one.

May the Sixth Be With You! Join Kenny, Kyle, Doolin, and Zach Brooks (The Movie Ladder Podcast) as we discuss Star Wars: The Last Jedi- and why it's great! This is one side of our The Last Jedi series, where one episode talks about why it stinks, and the other sings it's praises. Which side are you on?—————

Matt goes on his weekly rant against "The Last Jedi" on May 5th which is commonly referred to as "Revenge of the Sith".

The dead speak! Having decimated the once peaceful STAR WARS fandom, the SEQUEL TRILOGY caused Baconsale to largely avoid talking about the whole franchise as of late. However, a sinister format has risen from the ashes of the podcast, and now Joel, Kent, and Zack must defend these three MOVIES, with only a few rant breaks to REALLY release pressure. We'll force ourselves to be positive as we quote George Lucas, discuss questionable plot points, and learn why Zack should be a screenwriter. In the end, we may even convince ourselves that The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and Rise of Skywalker don't STINK. Maybe….   They fly now, so press play.

HAPPY STAR WARS DAY and MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU! Our coverage continues of the Marvel Star Wars comics published between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi! In this episode, Rob Kelly joins The Irredeemable Shag to dive into Marvel STAR WARS #49 (July 1981), written by Mike W. Barr with art by Walt Simonson and Tom Palmer. Titled “The Last Jedi,” this issue marks the beginning of Simonson and Palmer's legendary run, featuring a story about a lost prince and the Rebellion's desperate mission to restore him to his throne.

The ForceCast is BACK!!!! This week, Ryan and Brad discuss the next 2 chapters in Maul Shadow Lord as we reach the point of no return...

The Mandalorian and Grogu keeps getting pummeled by the 'friendly' media. Sites like Kotaku, Polygon and Gizmodo are saying the upcoming Star Wars movie looks bland AF and like a cheap Netflix streaming series. And these are the same outlets that loved The Last Jedi and attacked anyone who didn't as a chud. Uh oh... Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.

ForceCast+ is BACK!!This week, Ryan and Brad are back and discussing Maul Shadow Lord and the 1st four chapters!

In pop culture, "last" often just means "for now." In intellectual property law, it means something much more concrete. In this episode of IP Goes Pop®, Michael Snyder and Joseph Gushue explore what "last" really means across film, TV, music, and IP law. From The Last Samurai and The Last Jedi to Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Last of Us, "last" builds emotion, but rarely signals the end. In IP law, it does. The hosts explain how rights expire, can be lost early, become generic, or change by statute. Featuring examples like Alexander Graham Bell's telephone patent and It's a Wonderful Life, this episode breaks down why IP rights don't last forever, and why that matters. For full show notes and to explore more episodes, please visit www.vklaw.com/newsroom-podcasts. In this episode:

Prepare for a chat about the most polarizing chapter of the sequel trilogy with the Star Wars Escape Pod's "Bogan's Advocate" session for The Last Jedi. In this episode, the crew tackles the subversion of expectations head-on, from the startling introduction of a disillusioned Luke Skywalker to the "no-twist" revelation of Rey's parentage. While the crew marvels at the film's top-tier cinematography and striking use of red in the Snoke's throne room duel, they don't hold back on the pacing issues of some Canto Bight events or the introduction of new Force powers. It's a balanced, high-energy discussion that explores whether Rian Johnson's creative risks paid off or pushed the franchise too far off the predictable path. Don't forget about the ending of our podcast  as we close out with the wacky wildest chapter of Anakins lost diary we've ever seen!   Check out the Star Wars Archives link in our description for a database of all 400+ episodes!

The ForceCast is BACK!!This week, Ryan and Brad discuss Mando and Grogu covering Empire Magazine and then discuss the article attached and what the key takeaways were.

Ever wondered what it's like to fly 17+ hours straight? Matt Drinkwater comes to share his experience with Qantas on the near-Kangaroo route to Perth (we talk the past and present of that route), and more, onto Brisbane. Matt and Paul share a deep bond with Japan, and discuss the beauty, and quirkiness, of flying within Japan, from small airports, to the smell of Kansai International (yes, airports have a smell!). Qsuite to Bali, it doesn't get much better than this (especially with that chocolate ganache). There's a certain allure in epic journeys, a remnant of our forefathers' explorations, this also requires you to get lost, something that Japan or China still offer (don't resist, do let go). Do you research the food you'll have on-board? Matt does (that salt and pepper squid at the Heathrow Qantas lounge!). Can one love British Airways in 2026? Matt does, and makes a great case why it stays relevant, in spite of its IT woes (but, do you smash into people at Heathrow?!). When technology meets emotion (Star Wars, anyone?), and when it doesn't (that gimmicky hologram… IYKYK). The same goes with crew uniforms, and Matt works in fashion (also, American Airlines, please watch Forks, the episode of The Bear). The global tensions, jet fuel woes, and the inflation of air travel fares in the very near future (a sensitive topic …and book that trip now!).

Is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms the sleeper hit of the Game of Thrones universe? In this full A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms spoiler review, the SuperHero Homies break down everything from the tonal shift in the Westeros saga to the chemistry between Dunk and Egg, the action choreography, the comedy, and whether the shorter episode count helps or hurts the series. Main Review begins at 20:00 We dive deep into: How A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms compares to Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon The refreshing tone shift in the GoT universe The shorter 6-episode season and condensed runtime Action choreography and grounded swordplay The humor and lighter fantasy elements The incredible chemistry between the two lead actors Minor gripes and overall season rating If you're a fan of Game of Thrones lore, HBO fantasy series, George R.R. Martin adaptations, House of the Dragon discussions, and spoiler-filled TV reviews, this episode is for you. But before we ride into Westeros… We open with a passionate discussion on why The Last Jedi might be the worst Disney-produced Star Wars film. Yes. We said it. Expect bold takes, Star Wars debate, and full nerd-energy analysis. We also talk about the possibility of Caleb McLaughlin playing Miles Morales in a future Spider-Man movie and why that casting could absolutely work in the MCU or Sony Spider-Verse. And we show love to AJ Styles heading into the WWE Hall of Fame, debating who should induct him. Samoa Joe? Kurt Angle? John Cena? Wrestling fans, this one's for you.

The ForceCast is BACK!!This week, Ryan and Brad discuss the new trailer for Mando and Grogu.They end the show discussing a new article about Disney and their new era of leadership.

We conclude our Star Wars season with 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, J.J. Abrams' second stab at the franchise having kicked off the sequel trilogy with The Force Awakens 4 years prior.Where the latter was an exercise in replaying familiar hits, Episode IX was all about course correction after the split fan reaction to The Last Jedi. Kylo Ren has his mask back, force ghost Luke likes his light sabre again and Palpatine is back. Somehow.But is the magic back? Contrary to Luke's declaration in The Last Jedi, I'm afraid this one is going to go the way you think.Join the Redshirt Cinema Club!

The ForceCast is BACK!!This week, Ryan and Brad discuss the Super Bowl Spot for The Mandalorian and Grogu and if it helped or hurt the campaign to get people to see this movie.Then, the guys revisit Solo A Star Wars Story and see if there are any similarities to Mando and Grogu. They travel back to 2018 to revisit the build up and release.

The Last Jedi is almost certainly the most divisive Star Wars movie ever made. A brave attempt by writer/director Rian Johnson to subvert audience expectations and take the franchise in a new direction, it's a film that impressed critics with its brave narrative choices but alienated huge sections of the fan base at the same time. The three of us watched this together at the cinema - Rob enjoyed it, Dave and Nath not so much. Will the subsequent 9 years have softened or sharpened those initial opinions? How do we all feel about that Princess Leia in space scene? And why does Kylo Ren need to take his top off?

We here at the NHC are BIG fans of The Last Jedi - but we know that it's a pretty polarizing film within the Star Wars fanbase. It got us thinking... are there any changes we would suggest in order to make the movie more palatable - or even downright enjoyable! - for the haters?

In this episode of SuperHero Homies!, we rank every live-action Star Wars movie and TV series released under Disney from worst to best. That means all 13 projects — including The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker, Rogue One, Solo, The Mandalorian, Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, The Acolyte, and Skeleton Crew — enter the arena. Yes, even Skeleton Crew gets its day in court. Is Andor still the prestige king of Disney Star Wars? Did The Mandalorian redefine the franchise? Has time been kind to the Sequel Trilogy? Where does Ahsoka land? And does Skeleton Crew surprise us or drift into hyperspace obscurity? We debate, we defend, and we reshuffle the galaxy one ranking at a time. Before we jump to hyperspace, our cold open dives into the latest rumors surrounding Spider-Man: Brand New Day, including possible appearances from Tombstone, Jean Grey, and Man-Spider. We also theorize about the X-Men's potential role in Avengers: Doomsday and what incursions could mean for the MCU moving forward. If you love Star Wars rankings, MCU theories, Marvel and DC discussions, comic book commentary, superhero movie reviews, and pop culture debates, this episode is built for you. Whether you're loyal to the light side, flirting with the dark side, or just here for the chaos, we've got you covered.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 176 - Chris Lowe - Production Designer In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with production designer Chris Lowe (BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE, THE LAST JEDI, IN BRUGES). We worked with Chris on SKYFALL, and we had a great time catching up with him. In addition to production design, Chris has had a long career as an art director, and he helps us understand how the two positions work together on any given project and what each one's responsibilities are. Throughout the episode, Chris also shares his strategies for communicating with directors and producers, creatively adapting to shifting budgets, and delegating duties to members of the art department. We also reflect on why and how the Shanghai skyscraper scene in SKYFALL pivoted from a location to a set, and Chris shares an episode of creative problem solving from THE LAST JEDI involving the Millennium Flacon, Yoda, and a tree. Plus, Chris reveals how he built Bangkok in Prague during the COVID-19 pandemic for THE GRAY MAN. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure

What happens when a murder mystery becomes a theological reckoning? In Wake Up Dead Man, Rian Johnson delivers a Knives Out film that confronts Christian nationalism, toxic masculinity in the church, and the possibility of authentic faith beyond institutional corruption. Rev. Rachel Kessler, aka The Nerdy Priest, joins Matthew to unpack Father Jud's journey from failed boxer to priest, the film's sharp critique of religious authority, and why Benoit Blanc's turning down Jud's invitation to mass is essentially the message of the movie.Questions we discussed:How does the character of the Monsignor embody Christian nationalism and toxic masculinity within church leadership?What does Father Jud's struggle with his violent past reveal about redemption and the nature of calling?How does the film parallel Rian Johnson's themes from The Last Jedi about institutional failure and who gets to own sacred stories?How does the movie distinguish between authentic Christianity and the church as an instrument of patriarchal control?What's the significance of Benoit Blanc experiencing a "road to Damascus moment" but still declining to stay for Mass?Why does the film end with the church renamed "Our Lady of Perpetual Grace" while the pulpit—and its temptations—remains?**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

[School of Movies 2025] It has been ten years since Disney relaunched Star Wars in the cinema, delivering what felt like a special globally-unifying grand, historical event... that a bunch of Star wars fans complained felt too much like the 1977 original special globally-unifying grand, historical event. J.J. Abrams has proved over the years that he is far better at restarting big, exciting new worlds off with a bang (as he did with Mission Impossible and Star Trek before this) rather than somehow closing them out with anything approaching that same level of satisfaction (as with Lost and The Rise of Skywalker). But after all these years with all the Star Wars movies and TV and books and comics and video games that have played out since then, is The Force Awakens STILL my unlikely favourite of the whole series that has been with me since my life began in 1980? Yes. Put simply, this film transcends its own oversimplifications to become a joyful celebration of Star Wars, retreading many previous paths with a heartfelt energy the world badly needs again. And in this revisit show, Sharon and I talk about what has changed since we first recorded nearly four hours on it at the end of 2015 along with multiple guests at the opening of the gates to new adventure. That show can be found here, and since we also revisited the third film in the Sequel Trilogy back in 2024 after a serious re-edit allowed me to make peace, that leaves The Last Jedi for some point in the near future.

Bryan has had the privilege of talking with Rian Johnson twice for Script Magazine, once for Knives Out and once for Wake Up Dead Man. Both times they talked about his philosophy on writing and both times it touched on techniques and ideas that intersected with things that were relevant to his work on The Last Jedi. Though these interviews focus on the craft of writing and deal as much with Rian's other movies as they do Star Wars, we hope fans of Star Wars and Full of Sith will enjoy them.

The ForceCast is BACK!!!This week, Ryan and Brad discuss the 10th anniversary of The Force Awakens.What was their first watch like? How has it aged? How has the new era played out?All that is discussed and more!
