"Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back," directed by Irvin Kershner and released in 1980, stands not only as one of the most iconic sequels in cinema history but also as a pivotal turning point in the expansive Star Wars saga. As we gear up for Star Wars Day 2024, a retrospective glance at this masterpiece reveals its undiminished power to captivate and provoke thought, making it an enduring treasure in the sci-fi genre.Cinematography and Visual InnovationFrom Hoth's chilling winds to Dagobah's lush swamps, each frame of "The Empire Strikes Back" is a visual feast. The opening battle on the icy planet of Hoth remains one of the most visually spectacular sequences in the Star Wars series. Cinematographer Peter Suschitzky's expertise brought a deeper, grittier tone to the film, setting it apart from its predecessor. The use of shadows and lighting intensifies the emotional gravity of each scene, making the visuals not just beautiful but narratively compelling.Storytelling and StructureIf "A New Hope" laid the foundation of this galactic adventure, "The Empire Strikes Back" expanded its scope and plunged deeper into its characters' emotional landscapes. The screenplay, refined by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan, introduces a complex narrative with richer character development and a more layered plot. The film daringly deviates from the traditional victory arc, opting instead for a more sombre, introspective tone that reflects the characters' turmoil and growth. This bold narrative choice elevates the sequel to new heights, endowing it with a maturity and sophistication that many sequels fail to achieve.Character Development and PerformancesThe heart of "The Empire Strikes Back" lies in its profound character development, particularly that of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher). Hamill delivers a nuanced performance as Luke grapples with his identity and destiny; Ford encapsulates Solo's roguish charm and depth, while Fisher's Leia is both a determined leader and a vulnerable human. The introduction of Yoda, masterfully voiced and puppeteered by Frank Oz, adds a philosophical layer to the story, challenging Luke and the audience with deep existential questions.The chemistry among the lead characters, especially the budding romance between Han and Leia, provides both warmth and tension, enriching the narrative and giving audiences moments of relief amidst the darker undertones of the saga.Villainous Presence: Darth VaderDarth Vader, portrayed by David Prowse with the unforgettable voice of James Earl Jones, cements his status as one of cinema's most formidable villains. "The Empire Strikes Back" gives Vader more screen time and context, delving into his complexities and setting up the familial reveal that would shock cinema audiences: "No, I am your father." This line, delivered during the climactic lightsaber duel with Luke, remains one of the most iconic moments in film history, reshaping the Star Wars narrative arc and deepening the conflict at its core.Cultural and Historical Significance=Upon its release, "The Empire Strikes Back" was met with mixed reviews; however, its reputation has only grown over time, and it is now widely regarded as the best film in the Star Wars series. It challenged the expectations of what a sequel could be and expanded the scope of George Lucas's storytelling canvas. Its influence is evident in the numerous sequels and franchises that have since sought to emulate its success in deepening character arcs and complex storytelling.Relevance to Pop CultureThe film's impact on pop culture is immeasurable, from spawning memorable lines to influencing countless works in film, television, and other media. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of the Star Wars universe, continually attracting new fans while keeping long-time enthusiasts hooked."The Empire Strikes Back" is not just a film; it's a profound cinematic experience that resonates through its pioneering special effects, compelling narrative, and deep philosophical underpinnings. As we celebrate Star Wars Day 2024, we acknowledge the timeless allure of this masterpiece. It teaches us about heroism, resilience, and the complexity of human (and non-human) emotions. This sequel not only stands the test of time but also remains a benchmark for evaluating cinematic excellence in science fiction.For any fan of cinema, Star Wars, or storytelling in general, "The Empire Strikes Back" is a seminal viewing experience, its legacy as vibrant today as it was over four decades ago. As Yoda might say, "Pass on what you have learned." Indeed, the lessons of "The Empire Strikes Back" continue to enlighten and inspire, making this celebration a tribute to the enduring power of great storytelling.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew
I detta intima och rätt så obehagliga avsnitt tar vi med er och försöker antingen skrämma er eller locka er. Vi har varit på bio och sett kanske årets bästa skräckfilm. I filmen COBWEB träffar vi den 8 årige Peter. Han är mobbad i skolan och hans föräldrar är löjligt överbeskyddande. En natt hör han knackningar i väggen från hans rum och detta kommer vända uppochned på hela hans tillvaro. Tomas har äntligen tagit tag i THE GUARDIAN OF THE GALAXY VOL 3, nu när den finns tillgänglig på hemmabio. Frågan är om han gillade James Gunns sorti från Marvels universum. Vi vet ju att Thomas gillande den men det brukar ju resultera ett motsatt resultat från den andra poddhalvan. Vi har även sett den nu streaming och Blu-ray aktuella filmen THE MACHINE där ståupparen och poddaren Bert Kreischer fått möjlighet att brodera ut en film från sin ungdom när han var student och rånade ett tåg i Ryssland. Självaste Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) är med på färden som Berts svinjobbiga pappa. Frågan är om filmen är svinjobbig eller om detta var en fin överrasking? Och avslutningsvis så tar Thomas tag i sitt uppdrag med tv-serien WOLF LIKE ME. Tomas har tjatat och tjatat i flera år om denna serie. Isla Fisher och Josh Gad frontar denna 6 delars serie om sorg, hopplöshet, trasiga själar och en helt oväntat komponent. Gillade Thomas det? Ifall han gjorde det, kommer han någonsin erkänna det? Det blir en fullmatat timme som svischar förbi i ett nafs. Så vad väntar du på. Tryck på Play! Det blir intressant, vi lovar!
In Disney Gallery on The Mandalorian Season 2 all about Luke Skywalker, we got to see Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau and the rest of the team at Lucasfilm discuss the epic return of Luke Skywalker/Mark Hamill. The moment was monumental for me and so many other star wars fans who had a strong reaction to Luke Skywalker saving Grogu and the team. It warms my heart knowing Jon and Dave are such legitimate fans of Star Wars. I fully believe the stories they will tell in the future will be beyond our wildest dreams.

“Buffy The Empire Slayer” The panel of peril sit on a sofa as it slowly lowers into a steamy hole in the ground. Once they re-emerge you see that they are encased in carbonite to watch this week's film Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (Irvin Kershner, 1980). The continuing adventures of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Han Solo (Harrison Ford), see them try to outrun Darth Vader (James Earl Jones/Dave Prowse), train with kooky little psycho wiener Yoda (Frank Oz), and hide out with old pal Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams) in Cloud City. Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNwNXF9Y6kY ********PLOT SPOILER ALERT******** But… IT'S A TRAP! Lando has taken an ever-altering deal with Vader to turn over his rebel scum chums in exchange for the safety of his city. And the Dark Lord of the Sith has a stunning revelation for the Tatooine farmboy too! To quote R2D2 “yeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooooooooooowwwww!” Just what did the panel think of this week's movie, pray tell? How can they improve upon the villain's masterplan? And who will be christened this week's most Sithy/diabolical?
Episode 51 - Star Wars (1977) Full Movie Review PodcastStar Wars, directed by George Lucas, was released in 1977 and quickly became a cultural phenomenon. The film tells the story of a young farm boy named Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) who joins forces with a Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness), and a rogue pilot, Han Solo (Harrison Ford), to rescue Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) from the clutches of the evil Empire.One of the things that sets Star Wars apart is its world-building. Lucas created a rich and complex universe filled with aliens, planets, and technology that captivated audiences. The film's special effects were ground breaking for the time and still hold up today, adding to the immersive experience of the movie. The film also introduced iconic characters like Darth Vader, the imposing villain who quickly became one of cinema's greatest antagonists.But what really makes Star Wars stand the test of time is its timeless storytelling. At its core, Star Wars is a classic hero's journey, with Luke learning to harness the Force and becoming the last hope for the rebellion. The film's themes of hope, redemption, and the power of good over evil resonate with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.The acting in Star Wars is solid, with Hamill, Ford, and Fisher delivering memorable performances. Guinness is also excellent as the wise and mysterious Kenobi, while Peter Cushing brings a sense of menace to his role as Grand Moff Tarkin, one of the Empire's top officials. But it's James Earl Jones' voice work as Darth Vader that steals the show, giving the character an intimidating presence that still sends shivers down viewers' spines.One of the criticisms of Star Wars is that it's too simplistic and lacks nuance. While it's true that the film's characters and themes are straightforward, that's part of its charm. Star Wars is an old-fashioned swashbuckling adventure that's meant to be enjoyed by audiences of all ages. Its appeal lies in its simplicity, not in its complexity.Another criticism of Star Wars is that it relies too heavily on special effects and spectacle. While it's true that the film's visuals are impressive, that doesn't detract from its storytelling. The special effects are a means to an end, not the end themselves. They help create the immersive experience of the movie, but it's the characters and their struggles that keep viewers invested.In conclusion, Star Wars is a classic film that has stood the test of time for over four decades. Its world-building, special effects, and memorable characters are just as impressive today as they were in 1977. But what really makes Star Wars special is its timeless storytelling, which has resonated with generations of fans. The film's themes of hope, redemption, and the power of good over evil make it a timeless classic that will continue to inspire audiences for years to come.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

Y llegó, finalmente llegó el Filoniverso. El 2 de febrero de 2022 (2/2/22) será una fecha largamente recordada, la fecha del día que vimos como Jon Favreau y Dave Filoni consiguieron la interacción en un capítulo de El libro de Boba Fett de las trilogías original, de precuelas y de secuelas con The Mandalorian y con las series de animación de Filoni. Tras los análisis de los anteriores nos juntamos de nuevo en La Fosa del Rancor, fieles a nuestro compromiso semanal, para analizar pormenorizadamente cada segundo de este canto de amor starwarsero. Después de recuperarnos del shock inicial, para hablar de cómo Mando (Pedro Pascal) llega a un verdoso planeta para visitar a Grogu. Pero antes se encontrará con Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson), que le hace desistir por el bien emocional del niño, que está iniciando su entrenamiento con Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) en los albores de su futura Academia Jedi. Después veremos a Din Djarin volver a Tatooine para ayudar Lord Fett (Temuera Morrison) y su lugarteniente Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) que se preparan para la lucha contra el Sindicato Pyke. Pero antes Mando buscará ayuda en los habitantes de Mos Pelgo, cuyo marshall, Cobb Vanth (Timothy Olyphant) se verá las caras ante un viejo conocido de la animación starwarsera, Cad Bane (Corey Burton). Este sexto episodio de El Libro de Boba Fett está dirigido por nuestra querido, respetadísima e idolatrado Dave Filoni, y escrito por él mismo y, como está siendo habitual, por Jon Favreau. La trama de esta semana nos ha dejado especialmente impresionados y extasiados. Hablaremos sobre todo lo visto en el capítulo, sus impresionantes apariciones y cameos. Y por supuesto hacemos un análisis típicamente fosero con las referencias cinematográficas que hemos encontrado a otras películas, así como los guiños y conexiones a la saga Star Wars y sus películas, series y cómics. Tanto con el nuevo canon de la era Disney, como con el antiguo Universo Expandido, que ahora conocemos como Leyendas.

Britney's hearing is today, and the judge may finally determine the fate of her conservatorship. The defense attorney in the trail of Ahmaud Arbery stood up in court and made an outrageous, senseless objection. Luke Bryan and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) join in piling on Aaron Rodgers about his vaccination status. A ninth person has died due to injuries sustained at Astroworld. Lebron James had some sour words for Kyle Rittenhouse and his alleged "breakdown" in court.
First, Mat Bradley-Tschirgi has an interview with popular Star Wars podcaster Jason Swank of Rebel Force Radio on Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Then, Mat, Thrasher, and BJ have a longer discussion on the movie itself. Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) ditches his friends to train with an old green alien (Frank Oz). After the victorious ending of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, this sequel starts with the Rebels on the run on the ice planet of Hoth. Our heroes split up to different planets for reasons, but eventually they get back together again. After a certain paternal revelation, things will never be the same for Luke, Han, Leia, and Lando. A darker tale than the first with inspired cinematography by Peter Suschitzky, The Empire Strikes Back is a fan favorite for a reason. At times it's meditative, at other times it's a retro romance with sparky dialogue and sparkier performances. An opening large scale battle on Hoth with the elephantine AT-ATs has been adapted into countless video games. This flick is well worth revisiting if it's been a while.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and BJ discuss the movie that started the Star Wars craze those kids are into, Star Wars; it was later rereleased as Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) thinks being a farmer sucks, so he meets an old man (Alec Guinness) who gives him a glowy sword. After he couldn't buy the movie rights for Flash Gordon, writer-director George Lucas decided to do his own sci fi saga and the rest is history. A simple plot, amusing dialogue, and thrilling space combat scenes give this first Star Wars film more zip than you might remember. It's clear this was meant to work as both a standalone movie and the start of a trilogy based on how the ending wraps everything up with just enough threads out there to keep audiences wondering.

This Weeks Community Question Is: CQ: Are YOU concerned about “The Vulcan Hello”s low viewership numbers? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan The Captain and the Master Talk Tomato This week, SIR Patrick Stewart and Star Wars' Luke Skywalker - Mark Hamill - sat down with Charles Thorp of Men's Health to discuss their new advertisement campaign for the food delivery service - “Uber Eats”. In the three ad series, Captain Picard portrayer Sir Patrick faces off against Luke Skywalker Stager Mark Hamill in Connect Four, Air Hockey, and some - well - let's call them deep-rooted family issues. Besides talking about the similarities and differences between the two franchises, the pair recalled their time on-set. Sir Patrick discussed his first day of shooting, saying ”I was doing my first scene where I appeared on camera as Jean-Luc Picard. I was walking down one of the Enterprise corridors, and one of the sliding automated doors opened on my left and there was Commander Riker played by Jonathan Frakes. The script had him saying something to me, and I was just supposed to nod and then walk away. The director called, “Cut!” Then Jonathan yelled out, “That's what they call British face-acting!” The whole crew laughed, and I remember gratefully thinking that I was going to be spending all of this time with funny people. This is going to be alright.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jtkuAVLdtA But Wait, There's More! Stewart had some interesting comments regarding his unknowing inspiration for Captain Picard, telling Men's Journal in part ”I trained and worked out for years before I ever got in front of the camera playing Picard. My father was a military man, and he ended his military career at the end of the second World War in 1945, as a regimental sergeant major of The Parachute Regiment. For every gentleman from the outside looking in, he was a superstar. It took me decades to come to the realization of how much he influenced me not only as a man but also as an actor, especially when taking up Picard.[...] through him I had an incredible role model for the character, even if I wasn't consciously pursuing it.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkzLXZtu_Xw Finally, if you ever feel guilty about loving Star Wars or fantasizing about a crossover - DON'T! You're in good company, according to Sir Patrick ”I will admit that, at least for us on Star Trek, we have fantasied about a combined universe between Star Wars and Trek movie. There have been a lot of ideas thrown about on putting together two iconic universes, and having all of these great characters coming into contact. I would personally get such a kick out of that.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2cSBtSdcE0 The article has a ton of interesting tidbits - and the ads are fun - so we encourage you to head to our website and trek out all of it! Jonathan Frakes Talks Disco Season 3 Sir Patrick's “The Next Generation” co-star - and prolific television director - Jonathan Frakes Rikered a chair to talk with friends of the network, Trekmovie.com. Hot off his Galaxycon Event, Frakes chatted with Anthony Pascale about the characters, events, and shooting of Star Trek: Discovery, season three - and in true Frakes fashion, probably told us more than he should have. When asked to confirm his directing of three episodes this season, Frakes gave away some plot beats, saying ”Yes, I did. I actually just rewatched 303 a couple of days ago. Season three is really wonderful on Discovery, by the way. So the first episode is Michael Burnham alone in Iceland [for location shoot], which is a foreign land. And she meets “Book” [David Ajala]. The second episode is the entire crew on Discovery. And the third episode, which is the one I was fortunate enough to get, is their reunion. And it is very heavy on the emo.” Later in the interview, Frakes discussed Trek's newest stars. He showered praise on Book actor David Ajala before moving on to the newly announced Blu del Barrio (Adira)). ”Blu is so well cast that as the character reveals themself, I think they'll be a new favorite. Much like Tilly—do you remember how offbeat and non-Star Trek Tilly felt in the beginning? Blu brings a different dynamic and a different color totally, but a brand new color to the palette of the group. Much in the way Tig [Notaro] did.” Star Trek: Discovery's Pilot Doesn't Soar on CBS In episode 476 of Priority One - released on September 4th - we told you about Star Trek: Discovery's re-airing of its pilot - “The Vulcan Hello”. Want to know how that went? Are you sure? “The Vulcan Hello”, which originally aired on September 24, 2017, was repeated for terrestrial television audiences exactly three years later - September 24, 2020. Back in 2017, the series premiere - which aired at 8:30pm EST - pulled in a solid 9.5 million same-day-viewers, according to USA Today. Three years later, Variety reported that viewership had dropped to a disappointing 1.7 million viewers, losing out to ABC's season 5 premiere of “The Match Game” (2.9 million viewers). So what does that mean? Well, right now, it only means that “The Vulcan Hello” had 1.7 million viewers. The three year old episode was, as mentioned previously, a repeat - even to Network television viewers. There's no need to panic. Right? H. Jon Benjamin Talks Tribbles One of Star Trek's most divisive episodes seems to be the Season 2 episode of “Short Treks” titled “The Trouble With Edward”. From the IMDB summary “Newly minted Captain Lynne Lucero is excited to take command of the U.S.S. Cabot. That is, until she meets Edward Larkin, an ornery scientist who believes he has found a revolutionary new use for tribbles.” You remember Larkin, right? The guy who wanted to breed Tribbles for food. That Edward Larkin. This week, Edward Larkin himself - H. Jon Benjamin - did absolutely nothing to ingratiate himself with the episode detractors. Benjamin sat down with telegram.com to talk about Bob's Burgers, Archer, and “The Trouble With Edward”. Benjamin admitted to report Craig S. Semon ”I never thought I would make it in the ‘Star Trek' universe but I did. I was a ‘Star Trek' fan when I was a kid. It was really cool. I was thrilled to be asked.” On playing the - unique - character, Benjamin said ”It wasn't particularly hard to play that guy, because he was oblivious. I'm not sure he knew how despicable he was. So that was the fun of it. From what I gathered, there are some ‘Star Trek' fans that took issue with that the way tribbles were discovered. People get very deep into everything working perfectly or logically based on the ‘Star Trek' universe. Maybe that was a problem, but that's not my problem.” Finally, Benjamin addressed the fact that he may have been the first person to eat a Tribble, saying ”That's true. But you never know. You never know if Scotty drunk ate one.” Star Trek Gaming News by Shane Hoover and Thomas Reynolds Cryptic Studios Announces Collaboration with Gameheads This week, it was announced that Cryptic Studios - the game development studio that designs Neverwinter, Champions Online, the upcoming Magic: Legends, and -- of course -- Star Trek Online --- has teamed up with a local organization called Gameheads. What's important about this particular nonprofit organization, is that it welcomes low-income youth and youth of color between the ages of 15 to 24 in the Bay Area into a program that trains them in video game design, development, and DevOps. Together, these young adults will work with experienced game developers at Cryptic to “provide discipline-specific discussions, panels, and presentations and mentor students in their desired fields, such as Environment Art, Level Design, or Narrative Design.” Additionally, Cryptic has made a financial donation to Gameheads as well as the NAACP Personally, I believe this is an excellent partnership. You see, there is substantial evidence that points to a systemically racial barrier that makes it incredibly difficult for low-income youth of color to move up and out of poverty. Additionally, there's evidence establishing inherent racism in technology… and no, I'm not saying your toaster burns your toast cuz you're Carribean. But, what I am saying is that current algorithms -- those that drive facial recognition technology for example -- have time and again misidentified individuals of color. You see, to the ghost in the machine, anyone who's not white pretty much looks the same…. But, the thing is… that ghost is programmed by an industry led -- predominantly - by white people. So, helping students break into the tech industry is one positive way of ensuring that the tech industry remains inclusive and equitable… for the consumer and for developers.. A New Event! A New Event Prize Concept! By Shane Hoover In a blog posted Tuesday September 29th, Ambassador Kael announced an upcoming event to accompany the next Year of Klingon content release. This “Widening Gyre” event runs from October 6th through November 5th on PC. No details are provided yet about the Event itself, but the Grand Prize is breaking new ground for STO events. By completing 20 daily progress cycles in the Widening Gyre, Captains can obtain an entire 4 piece space equipment set, the Imperial Rift Space Set. So far details are scant on the set pieces, but the descriptions provided in the blog point toward a Science-based set that is trying to synergize control abilities with energy weapons. It's too soon to give you a verdict on how we think it'll perform, but stay tuned, Captains. Once the stats are released, you can bet we'll be sharing our evaluations on the next show! It is said that reputation is everything. Ah, the daily grind. It's just part of the MMO experience, right? You run the same missions over and over to gain a reward that takes days, months or years to complete. However, if you're tired of grinding marks for another reputation system in STO, then you will be pleased with the latest news. You can now skip the grind. Well, you can skip some of the grind. Well, you can now skip some of the grind in one section of one part of the systems available to grind in STO. Now available for purchase - a Tier V Reputation buyout from the Zen store. Starting at 3,000 Zen, you can pass go and proceed immediately to Tier V for a single reputation on a single character. Although, the price is reduced proportionately, depending on how much progress in that reputation you've already made. For example, if you've made it to Tier 3 and just are not able or willing to continue earning those marks and running the daily project, then the price of 3,000 zen is reduced proportionately. Keep in mind, if you thought you were getting around the grind - ha - nope. You will still have to spend at least 60 days getting to Tier 6. But, this is manageable with the Tier V mark reward amount, since you get at least 600 marks when you achieve Tier V - but you still have to run those daily projects What does this mean for you, the player - what type of player are you? New: Players new to the game should avoid this purchase as the process of leveling the reputation is something you will need to do anyway, unless you plan on buying it for all reputations, and even then, because this only goes up to tier 5 which isn't even half the progress to tier 6. Casual: Casual players may feel like this is a decent deal, skipping what seems like a significant in-game time sink. But if you consider yourself a casual player, 3000 Zen is probably not a small investment for you, and that can get you things you'll use to play the game. Like an account-wide T6 ship, for instance. And if you're paying to avoid playing the game, then...is this really the hobby for you? Experienced: Experienced players will have a better understanding of exactly what they are getting out of the purchase and be better placed to evaluate if it's worth the price to skip ahead a little. But in general? No. No player should purchase this. Elite: Honestly, this seems like it'd be heresy to an elite player. Who already has all their reps finished anyway. Rainbow Tribbles, Because We're Better Together By Thomas Reynolds Well, captains, the 2020 Summer Event has come and gone like a beautiful Risian sunset. You know, back when Risa had sunsets. And while we've all enjoyed our fast ships and fabulous costumes, there's one event item that's snuck in under the tachyon grid and into our hearts. The Rainbow Tribble grants you a 2.5% critical chance in ground combat when you pet it. That in itself is pretty good--but it stacks with each active Rainbow Tribble on your team. Hand one out to everyone on your away team, and you'll be looking at a 12.5% crit chance buff to every team member. Rainbow Tribbles go for 50 Lohlunat Favors from the event store, or 1 million EC on the exchange at the time of writing--a pittance for this kind of power. OTHER GAMING NEWS Star Trek Adventures: The Blog of Dev So you backed the Humble Bundle. You have hundreds of dollars' worth of prime Star Trek roleplaying material at your fingertips. Great. Now what? Well don't worry, Modiphius has you covered. Posted on September 23rd, the first post of 2d20 developer Nathan Dowdell's blog series will walk you through the basic concepts of Star Trek Adventures character creation. Much of it will look familiar to anyone who's played RPGs in the past (you say “proficiencies,” I say “disciplines”). But it's definitely encouraged reading, whether this is your first time on the Final Frontier or you're back for more glorious battles.
Life on Earth is too depressing right now, so Sean and Cody blast over to the ice planet of Hoth (which looks suspiciously like Finse, Norway) to figure out how the Star Wars gang handles a cryonic environment. In The Empire Strikes Back, resistance heartthrob Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) gets his face effed up by the Bumble creature from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer while testy Han Solo (Harrison Ford) sells Wookie kisses and the rebellion prepares for an epic space battle with military tactics straight out of 1916. Analysis of The Empire Strikes Back touches not just on icy environments and how to live there, but how science fiction often depicts the environment, the cultural memory of Vietnam, Art Deco design and its socioeconomic assumptions, and how this film in particular evokes the classic “Golden Age” science fiction of yesteryear's pulp magazines. The idea for this episode started with a single inexplicable question: what do tauntauns eat? In addition to that burning inquiry, numerous others come up. Is the “wampa” monster the astral equivalent of a baby alligator flushed into the New York City sewers? Wouldn't Cloud City be way too cold to just walk around outside? Why do people who work in Antarctica dread touching doorknobs? What can a train ride across Norway teach you about Star Wars? What's the ideology of the Empire? Why are sci-fi planets so often depicted as having only one climate? Is the lining of Lando's cape made of Corinthian leather? Is the “I am your father” thing just a cop-out? We're ready to target all these questions and more on this episode of Green Screen. The shield will be down in moments!

On today's show, was Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) digging through a public ashtray?
Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, Thrasher, and BJ discuss Star Wars Episode VIII The Last Jedi. Rey (Daisey Ridley) trains in the ways of the Force with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) while Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) continues to throw Dark Side temper tantrums. Rian Johnson writes and directs this controversial installment of the Skywalker Saga. There is a lot of plot at the expense of character development. At times, the screenplay is a bit too cute and smarmy. Still, we get a solid starfighter sequence at the beginning, a great Yoda scene, and few compelling plot twists.

Crooked Table Podcast - The world of film from a fresh angle
In the fifth installment of our retrospective on the Star Wars saga, we turn our attention to what is arguably the most popular film in the series: director Irvin Kershner's 1980 release The Empire Strikes Back. After the phenomenon that was the original Star Wars, fans hoped the follow-up would expand the world and continue the story in a meaningful way. What they got was one of the best sequels ever made. Candace Kaw of Geeky Girl Gab joins us to discuss why the film has endures, what makes it a standout part of the saga and how it connects to The Last Jedi. Every month for the rest of 2019, we'll be discussing another episode of the Star Wars saga, building up to the release of Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker in December. Check back next month as Michael Hinman of Alpha Waves Radio joins us to talk Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi. SYNOPSIS The adventure continues in this Star Wars sequel. Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) face attack by the Imperial forces and its AT-AT walkers on the ice planet Hoth. While Han and Leia escape in the Millennium Falcon, Luke travels to Dagobah in search of Yoda (voiced by Frank Oz). Only with the Jedi Master's help will Luke survive when the dark side of the Force beckons him into the ultimate duel with Darth Vader (David Prowse).

Crooked Table Podcast - The world of film from a fresh angle
In the fourth installment of our retrospective on the Star Wars saga, we turn to the film that first introduced the world to the "galaxy far, far away." When Star Wars — excuse us, Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope — hit theaters in 1977, it cemented the concept of the summer blockbuster and has inspired generations of fans and filmmakers alike. Kim Stock Foster joins us to discuss the film's enduring legacy as well her experience seeing George Lucas' vision on the big screen during its initial theatrical release. Every month for the rest of 2019, we'll be discussing another episode of the Star Wars saga, building up to the release of Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker in December.

It's been a little over a week since The Last Jedi was released! Join us as BB-N8 (Nathan Jesse), Samuel the Hutt (Sam Jesse), and The Bow Tie Jedi Guy (David Jesse) discuss the polarized opinions about the movie.First, we're taking a deeper look at this new version of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill). The Jedi Master was nothing like we were expecting. Was it good? Bad? And what does that mean for the future of the Star Wars saga?Next, we're debating whether the whole "Reylo" idea is finally dead. There's no doubt that Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) had an intense connection through the Force. But does this mean that a romantic storyline is coming in Episode IX? And finally, we're starting our countdown to Solo! Is Disney holding back a trailer because they're nervous about what this movie has become? Was Ron Howard able to salvage the train wreck that Lord and Miller left behind?Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TatooineSonsLike us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TatooineSons/Subscribe to us on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2sQw3oyMay the Force be with you!

In unserem heutigen Podcast "Die BlaBlaFabrik" unterhalten sich Alper, Jonas und Marius über die Faszination an Star Wars, dem unglaublichen Franchise, das uns George Lucas in den 70ern schaffte. Warum wir Figuren wie Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Han Solo (Harrison Ford) und Darth Vader lieben, warum wir die Originaltrilogie nicht so lieben und wie wir die aktuelle Entwicklung durch den Verkauf von LucasFilm an Disney sehen, besprechen wir heute in einem einstündigen Talk!
Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) battles horrible Jabba the Hut and cruel Darth Vader to save his comrades in the Rebel Alliance and triumph over the Galactic Empire. Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) reaffirm their love and team with Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams), the Ewoks and the androids C-3PO and R2-D2 to aid in the disruption of the Dark Side and the defeat of the evil emperor.
