A jaw-dropping Star Wars rumor is making waves across the fandom. Reports claim that Star Wars: Starfighter will feature a lightsaber duel partially shot and directed by Tom Cruise, and on today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down how this could actually happen, why Cruise may be involved behind the camera, and whether this bold creative choice makes sense for Lucasfilm's future. We also cover a packed slate of movie and streaming news. Disney has officially found the two leads for its live-action Tangled, sparking debate over casting choices and remake fatigue. DC fans get a major update as rumors swirl around Sebastian Stan's potential role in The Batman – Part II, and what it could mean for Matt Reeves' expanding Gotham universe. On the streaming side, Disney+ is reportedly rolling out a vertical video feed, raising questions about how platforms are adapting to short-form viewing habits. Meanwhile, Netflix users experienced minor outages that may be connected to the ongoing "Conformity Gate" situation. We also react to the explosive new trailer for The Wrecking Crew starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista. Topics Discussed: Star Wars: Starfighter lightsaber duel reportedly shot by Tom Cruise Live-action Tangled officially casts its two leads Sebastian Stan rumored for a role in The Batman – Part II Disney+ experimenting with vertical video feeds Netflix outages possibly linked to Conformity Gate The Wrecking Crew trailer with Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista Join Kristian Harloff and the crew for reactions, analysis, and unfiltered discussion on the biggest stories in movies, TV, and pop culture. #KristianHarloffShow #StarWars #StarWarsStarfighter #TomCruise #LightsaberDuel #Lucasfilm #Disney #Tangled #BatmanPartII #SebastianStan #DC #DisneyPlus #Netflix #TheWreckingCrew #JasonMomoa #DaveBautista #MovieNews #TVNews #PopCulture SPONSORS: RAYCON: Go to https://www.buyraycon.com/kristian to get 20% off sitewide.

Join us for a relaxing episode as John and Lacey look back on 2025 and our new Star Wars memories and experiences. From Star Wars Celebration Japan, including our fateful evening with ILM's Rob Coleman, to our invite to Lucasfilm for Andor and our trip to Skywalker Ranch, we were on the move! We also had a great time covering Skeleton Crew on Galactic Goonies with so many great guests including showrunner Christopher Ford and composer Mick Giacchino. And then we had the K-2S Show which brought James back for a guest appearance! It's been a wild ride and another great year for TRB, and we look ahead to 2026 with excitement for more fun Star Wars podcast adventures! Most of all, thank YOU for making our show a part of your life this year, because if you're listening to this, you are part of the Resistance!
Is LucasFilm finally preparing to announce Kathleen Kennedy's replacement… or is something else going on behind the scenes? On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the latest report suggesting Lucasfilm is setting up new co-presidents and what that could mean for the future of Star Wars, Disney, and the studio's leadership moving forward. We'll also be talking about the brand-new Avengers trailer dropping this morning and what impact it could have on Marvel's upcoming slate. Plus, Bond rumors continue to heat up as Callum Turner is reportedly emerging as a frontrunner for 007. We'll discuss whether he fits the role and what direction the franchise may be heading. In Middle-earth news, Ian McKellen confirms that Gandalf — along with Frodo — may be returning in upcoming Lord of the Rings projects. What does that mean for the future of Tolkien adaptations? And finally, James Wan has expressed interest in directing Avatar 4 — so we'll explore whether that pairing makes sense creatively and commercially.

In this episode, we journey back to the golden age of Star Wars fandom with Craig Miller, the original Director of Fan Relations at Lucasfilm from 1977 to 1980. Craig shares behind-the-scenes stories from his time shaping the galaxy's most passionate fanbase—before the internet, before social media, and before Star Wars was a household name. Craig was the architect of the Official Star Wars Fan Club and the editor of Bantha Tracks, the club's beloved newsletter. He produced the unforgettable Star Wars segments on Sesame Street, operated R2-D2's head on set, and helped bring the Force to Saturday morning commercials—including the iconic Underoos ads. Craig's created the legendary 800-number hotline for The Empire Strikes Back, where fans could call in and hear exclusive messages recorded by the film's stars. It was a pioneering moment in fan engagement, and Craig was at the heart of it. His memoir, Star Wars Memories: My Time in the (Death Star) Trenches, is a treasure trove of anecdotes, insights, and cultural history—and this conversation brings it vividly to life.

Skywalking Through Neverland: A Star Wars / Disney Fan Podcast
We take a nostalgic trip back to the Walt Disney Company Investor Day in December 2020—one of the biggest reveal events in recent Star Wars history. That day, Lucasfilm unveiled a galaxy's worth of upcoming Star Wars projects, from new series to feature films. Now that a few years have passed, it's time to look back with clear eyes and ask: What actually happened to all those announcements? In this episode, we break down every Star Wars project revealed that day and explore which ones successfully launched, which ones quietly faded away, and which are still somewhere in hyperspace limbo. Do you remember your reaction to Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka, Rangers of the New Republic, and Rogue Squadron? It's a fun mix of reflection, industry insight, and fan speculation as we revisit that ambitious roadmap and evaluate how things have played out across Disney+, Lucasfilm, and the wider Star Wars universe.

THE FORCE AWAKENS approaches it's 10TH ANNIVERSARY! It's crazy to think it's been a decade since the first Sequel Trilogy film kick-started this new era of Star Wars.

To celebrate this gargantuan birthday, Lucasfilm has announced it will re-release the THEATRICAL CUT of the film! Since George Lucas released the Special Editions, a restored theatrical cut has been elusive. Today we discuss the expectation and excitement of experiencing this film how it originally was screened!Additionally, 2026 sees the release a of next Star Wars film since the Skywalker Saga wrapped up in 2019: THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU. While we don't have too much information about what happens in this film, a new (alleged) plot leak gives us some information to speculate on.

Thanks so much, all of you, for your support and loyal listenership as we cross a milestone which once seemed absurd, our 200th episode! And to celebrate, we're going long on the Lucasfilm multimedia project that effectively ended the late-80's to mid-90's wild west era of semi-canonical Star Wars tales, and ushered in the prequel era: Shadows of the Empire, an "everything but the movie" undertaking that spawned a full-length novel, a soundtrack, a best-selling video game, and a series of comics. Join Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Darth Vader, Prince Xizor, and a cast of thousands in dropping to one knee and humbly admitting... it's Dash Rendar's world, we're all just living in it.
In this episode of The Filmumentaries Podcast, I'm joined by Laurent Hopman and Renaud Roche, the writer and artist behind the acclaimed graphic novel Lucas Wars, which tells the behind-the-scenes story of the making of Star Wars from a deeply personal, human perspective. Laurent shares his background as an entertainment journalist and how years of research, interviews, books and documentaries fed into the script. Renaud talks about coming from a traditional animation and storyboarding background, studying at Gobelins in Paris, and how cinematic visual language shaped the way he approached the book's artwork. We discuss:Why the emotional journey of George Lucas became the heart of the storyHow the pair condensed vast amounts of historical research into a tightly structured graphic novelThe challenge of visually dramatising meetings, offices and creative conflictThe relationship between Lucas and Spielberg, and how it shapes both volume one and the upcoming sequelThe meaning behind the iconic twin suns coverVisiting Skywalker Ranch and Lucasfilm after the book's releaseBalancing historical accuracy with storytellingWhy Lucas Wars connected with readers beyond the core Star Wars fandomWe also talk about the upcoming second volume, which covers The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark, and how expanding into Spielberg's world adds a new layer to the story.

Andor is officially the most expensive Star Wars project to date, IN HISTORY, even with George Lucas era in the mix. 705M for Andor is insane. Kenobi got only a 90M budget in comparison, while the sequels were roughly in The Acolyte territory of cost over 200M. Who is making these decisions up there at Disney and Lucasfilm? How can Andor of all shows get almost 8x Kenobi? How can it be more expensive than Solo with all the reshoots included? Tax cuts, in my opinion, from this Forbes article, is why... But then why not Kenobi? Why no the sequels? Surely Andor couldn't have been THAT expensive compared to all the other massive team led projects Disney Star Wars has had... This is even more expensive than the Mandalorian. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
