From Kylo to Vader and from Rey to Luke, Galaxy's Edge at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA will undergo its most significant evolution since opening in May 2019 by unlocking the land's carefully controlled timeline, and dismantling the sequel-era boundaries that limited Batuu and its inhabitants to a narrow period of Star Wars history.

The start of 2026 means we're only a few months away from the first Star Wars movie since The Rise of Skywalker. And speaking of the final film in the sequel trilogy, we thought it would be a good time to look back at the original plan for Episode IX: Colin Trevorrow's “Duel of the Fates” script. In this episode, Haley's friend Jack Merritt joins us to discuss the highs and lows of Trevorrow's story, from a worthy role for Finn to a controversial take on the dark side. We also cover Trevorrow's portrayal of Luke Skywalker, his plan for Kylo Ren, and his use of Coruscant and Mortis. If you like imagining what could have been, this is the episode for you.
Why This Episode Matters This milestone 550th episode brings the Business of Story full circle to its foundational inspiration: Joseph Campbell and the Hero's Journey. Host Park Howell interviews John Bucher, PhD, Executive Director of the Joseph Campbell Foundation, revealing why the Hero's Journey is more than a story framework - it's a neurological blueprint for business success. What You'll Discover The Neuroscience of Storytelling Modern research shows the Hero's Journey mirrors the exact neurological patterns your brain uses to solve problems. When you structure business communications around this framework, you're speaking the native language of human decision-making. How Customers Really Make Decisions John Bucher reveals the truth most businesses miss: Customers make emotional decisions first, gather evidence to support those feelings second, then justify logically third. As Robert McKee said, "The conscious mind is simply the PR department that justifies all the decisions the emotional subconscious mind makes." This is why stories (which communicate feelings) are more powerful than data alone. The Two Paths to Business Transformation Discover how the "Call to Adventure" manifests differently for entrepreneurs versus managers: • Entrepreneur's Journey: Driven by dissatisfaction, voluntarily leaves comfort zone, proactively pursues opportunity • Manager's Journey: Forced by circumstances, faces organizational changes, adapts to involuntary transitions Understanding both paths helps you connect with any audience. Your Customer Is the Hero (Not Your Brand) The positioning shift that transforms marketing from pushy to magnetic: Your brand is Yoda, not Luke Skywalker. You're the mentor providing guidance, not the hero seeking glory. John explains: "We all trust ourselves more than we trust anyone else. When we create the framework for listeners to tell themselves the story, it's so much more powerful." What You're Really Selling "Chevrolet doesn't sell automobiles, they sell freedom." Customers don't buy based on specifications - they buy emotional stories about what products enable in their lives. You're selling transformation, not products. From Intuitive to Intentional Storytelling We're all natural storytellers, but there's a difference between intuitive and intentional storytelling. Learn how to replicate storytelling success consistently without becoming a story theorist. The Hero's Journey as Life Instruction Manual Christopher Vogler calls the Hero's Journey "an instruction manual for life." John Bucher agrees: "No matter how good things are going, bad times always come. That road of trials is something we all keep returning to." The framework helps you recognize patterns, identify mentors, and embrace transformation as natural. Guest Expert John Bucher, PhD, is a renowned mythologist and story expert who has been featured on the BBC, the History Channel, the LA Times, The Hollywood Reporter, and numerous other international outlets. He serves as Executive Director for the Joseph Campbell Foundation and is a writer, storyteller, and speaker. John has consulted and worked with government and cultural leaders around the world, as well as organizations such as HBO, DC Comics, Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon, A24 Films, Atlas Obscura, and The John Maxwell Leadership Foundation. He is the author of six influential books on storytelling and has worked with New York Times best-selling authors, YouTube influencers, Eisner winners, Emmy winners, Academy Award nominees, magicians, and cast members from Saturday Night Live. Holding a PhD in Mythology & Depth Psychology, he integrates scholarly insights with practical insights, exploring the profound connections between myth, culture, and personal identity. His expertise has helped shape compelling narratives across various platforms, enriching the way stories are understood, told, and experienced globally. Website: tellingabetterstory.com Episode Highlights • The Deathbringer and Lifebringer Native American story that illustrates what you're really selling in business • Why Joseph Campbell opposed dogmatic application of the Hero's Journey (and championed diverse adaptations) • Park Howell's synchronicity experience: Lights flickering when mentioning Campbell's death anniversary • How Park's career demonstrates multiple hero's journeys (agency founder at 35, story consultant at 55) • The Refusal of the Call in sales: Why customer resistance is a natural stage, not permanent barrier • John Bucher's accidental hero's journey (enrolled in music program, ended up in film/TV by mistake) • The Fundamental Attribution Error and how it affects business communication • Why the Hero's Journey is a form (not formula) - the tango dancing metaphor • How to use storytelling language to create deeper listening and engagement Resources Mentioned Quick Introduction (3 minutes): "What It Takes to Be a Hero" by Matthew Winkler (TED-Ed video) - Created by a teacher to help struggling teens understand they're not alone Accessible Learning: • "The Writer's Journey" by Christopher Vogler (5th edition) • "The Power of Myth" book and PBS series with Bill Moyers (6 one-hour episodes) • "Finding Joe" documentary Deep Study: • "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" by Joseph Campbell (1949 - warning: very arcane) New Release: • "Joseph Campbell on the Hero's Journey" - Joseph Campbell Essentials series pocket gift book (available on Amazon) Business Application: • Story Cycle System by Park Howell • Venables Bell & Partners Audi campaigns (perfect 30-second Hero's Journey examples) Key Quotes John Bucher on Decision-Making: "When we understand story, we start to get shortcuts into the thinking of people behind how they make decisions." On Campbell's Philosophy: "Joseph Campbell was not a fan of dogma. He was interested in putting things out on the table for thoughtful engagement and good conversation." On Story Power: "Stories bypass the head and go straight to the heart. We've heard it all before in business - we're looking for different ways to bring information that hold just a bit of surprise." Park Howell on Intentional Storytelling: "We are all by nature intuitive storytellers. But you can become an intentional storyteller simply by understanding these frameworks." On Story as Operating System: "Storytelling is the software that drives the hardware of the operating system - our meaning-making machine in our limbic system, hippocampus, and amygdala."

It seems Mark Hamill isn't as opposed to Luke Skywalker ai or as negative as it used to be when other creators are doing it, even going as far as saying the technology is now fascinating while being wary of where it will go...This is a better response than he's made in the past. I think if a payment structure can be worked out to get all these actors who's likeness is used, then the ethical future of Ai is on the right turn.

¡Último rugido del rancor para este año 2025! Tras varios meses de preparación, por fin os podemos traer el especial de la película más emblemática de la trilogía original. Este año Star Wars El Imperio Contraataca cumple 45 años ¡y lo celebramos con este programa de más de 6 horas de duración! Bloque 1: Entrevista a Madelyn Most. Abrimos este especial con una entrevista fosera a una invitada de auténtico lujo: Madelyn Most. Ayudante de cámara en los rodajes de Una Nueva Esperanza y El Imperio Contraataca, Madelyn participó en la grabación de varias escenas míticas de la saga. Una de las más reconocibles es el duelo de Luke Skywalker y Darth Vader en Bespin. Madelyn nos contará todas las dificultades que tuvo para que sortear y lo que tuvo que luchar para ganarse el puesto como asistente de cámara. También nos contará varias anécdotas muy divertidas del rodaje de Star Wars y El Imperio Contraataca y como se vivía el ambiente con actores como Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher y compañía así como las diferencias de trabajar con los directores George Lucas e Irvin Kershner. Un deleite para cualquier fan de la saga Star Wars y del cine en general. Hemos invertido mucho tiempo y dedicación a este programa, pero El Imperio Contraataca no merecía menos ya que se trata de una película que marcó a toda una generación y que, cuarenta y cinco años después, sigue resistiendo el paso del tiempo. Queremos dar un agradecimiento muy especial a Madelyn Most por el tiempo que nos dedicó y por haberse prestado a realizar la entrevista en español para nuestros oyentes.

Extremis is a Latin word that says you are in extreme circumstances, a desperate situation, a dire predicament, or the edge of death.“There is great tension in the world, tension toward a breaking point, and men are unhappy and confused. At such time it seems natural and good to me to ask myself these questions. What do I believe in? What must I fight for and what must I fight against?”I'll tell you who said that in just a minute.Here's another direct quote:“It's life or death for America, people tell you. Angry debates about taxes, religion and race relations inflame the newspapers. Everyone is talking politics: your spouse, your teenage daughter, your boss, your grocer. Neighbors eye you suspiciously, pressing you to buy local. Angry crowds gather, smelling of booze and threatening violence; their leaders wink, confident that the ends justify the means. The stores have sold out of guns.”*Are you ready to hear the final two sentences?“It's 1775 in Britain's American colonies. Whose side are you on?”*That first quote about “great tension in the world” and men being “unhappy and confused” came from John Steinbeck in 1941. I'll bet you thought it was more recent, didn't you?There is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.If that sounds familiar to you, it's because Solomon said it 3,000 years ago in the book of Ecclesiastes.Here's my point: Yes, the world is in a state of extremis, but we have always been in a state of extremis.So put it behind you. Get over it.Better yet, use your recovery from extremis to unleash joy, passion, a flood of creativity, and a flamelike focus that will take you to places you have never been.When you recover from a state of extremis, you open a trapdoor to the unconscious mind. It is a waterfall that doesn't fall downward, but gushes upward into the sky.If you want to ride that waterfall, all you have to do is exit your extremis. Put it behind you. Get over it.Quit giving your attention to the news.Do not say to yourself,“But if everyone quit paying attention to the news, there would be no societal outrage, no oversight, no accountability!”Let me make this clear to you. There is zero chance that everyone is going to quit giving their attention to the news. It's an addiction like any other. In fact, I'm worried that you won't have the strength, the willpower, or the discipline to turn away from it yourself.If you monitor the news for the rest of your life, what are the chances that doing so will change anything at all, even a tiny bit? Does being aware of things that are beyond your control somehow give you the ability to change those things?Turn away from the dark side, Luke Skywalker. Embrace the light.And have a happy, new, year.Roy H. WilliamsPS – I gathered a few dozen quotes from Dorothy Parker and made two powerful productions from them. The first production is 4 minutes and 24 seconds long and was extracted from writings that Dorothy published in Vanity Fair and The New Yorker in the 1920s.The second production is 5 minutes and 9 seconds and was compiled from the writings of Dorothy's later years. The character arc between the two performances is sobering. You'll find both of them on the first page of the rabbit hole.

"Luke Skywalker has vanished." It's been ten years since those iconic words crawled across theater screens, ushering in a new era of Star Wars.In this special 10th Anniversary Review, we are joined by Kyra Navarrete (Relatable Nerds) and Chris Ryons (Broaxium) to revisit The Force Awakens. @relatablenerds @BROAXIUM From the shock of the 2012 Disney acquisition to the "mystery box" of J.J. Abrams, we break down the characters that defined a generation. We discuss the cocky charm of Poe Dameron, the complex rage of Kylo Ren, and the incredible—yet underutilized—potential of Finn. We also look at the "bridge" of the sequel era: Harrison Ford's pivotal performance as Han Solo. Whether you're a die-hard Original Trilogy fan or a Sequel defender, join us as we head back to Jakku to see how the film holds up a decade later.
Mark Hamill said it was dumb that Luke Skywalker died from an overdose of the Force, and doesn't seem real happy about his role in Disney Star Wars. Then we talk about how Disney didn't exactly celebrate the Sequel Trilogy for the 10th anniversary of The Force Awakens. It's as if they know it sucked, too.Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

This episode, we are heading into the trenches with one of the most unique, gritty, and personal war movies ever made: The Big Red One.You might know this as the "Luke Skywalker goes to war" movie, because Mark Hamill is in it, fresh off the X-Wing. You might know it as the Lee Marvin tough-guy flick. But what this movie really is - it's a memoir written in blood and 35-millimeter film by a director who was actually there.

Luke Skywalker, shut up and eat your jelly! As everyone knows, Christmas is like Cursed Objects Christmas, and so sure enough: it's the long-awaited CO Christmas Special. REJOICE! This year, we are talking about childhood experiences of Christmas, then and now. Starting off with toy crazes, from Optimus Prime to Cabbage Patch Dolls, and therefore, the true meaning of Christmas: supply-chain economics. “Kids used to be satisfied by a promissory bond!” Kasia rightly complains. We discuss our own childhood moments of WONDER and AWE, Dalmation-related magick, votive offerings to Father Christmas, and the varied acts of parental pageantry required by the season. We learn that Wu-Tang Clan are not just for Christmas - Raekwon is a year-round commitment - ask whether Darth Vader is the original Grinch, why children are such sticklers for the rules (and such fans of Dostoevsky), and introduce perhaps correctly overlooked festive characters Krampus and Farmhand Rupert, Santa's designated driver and NPC. Have a wonderful holiday, love from Kasia, Dan, Nick and Archie - see you in 2026! x ~~~~~ Christmas is a time of giving, so do please consider supporting our Patreon: To access a back catalogue of over 30 exclusive bonus eps it is STILL ONLY £4 a month to sign up, and support your favourite cultural historians: https://www.patreon.com/c/cursedobjects ~~~~~ Theme music and production: Mr Beatnick Artwork: Archie Bashford

"If we just listened to what our customers wanted, we would have had a faster horse."Everyone knows the Henry Ford quote, but Lee Mullin actually showed us what it means for construction tech.In today's episode of Bricks & Bytes, we sat down with Lee from BuildArc. He spent 18 years at Autodesk, and honestly, the conversation completely changed how we think about talking about products.Here's what stuck with us: we're all making ourselves the hero of the story. We love talking about our amazing AI tools, our productivity gains, our revolutionary features. But Lee said something that hit different - your customer needs to be Luke Skywalker.

Here we are, at the end of the season. This was a great show, and these final episodes did not disappoint. We had ship battles, espionage, stormtrooper, and bricks. Everything you could have ever asked for from a Star War. I just hope that B2EMO makes it out okay.Our Links:Ian WolffeSend us a text
THE LAST JEDI divided the fanbase entirely, and that's exactly what Rian Johnson wanted to do. He succeeded and we all lost. Even those who enjoyed TLJ, we'll never see Luke Skywalker, Han and Leia together. No one here really wins. Now it's official that Rian Johnson's Star Wars trilogy is done. I wish him the best, and I know he's doing well, but as for Star Wars, I hope he stays far, far away from it.

Everybody loves a good origin story, but not every story is worth retelling. The real skill is knowing when to evolve, not repeat.That's the lesson of Andor, the Star Wars series that turned subtle storytelling into a strategy for lasting relevance. In this episode, we explore its B2B marketing takeaways with the help of our special guest Rachel Sterling, CMO of Identity Digital. Together, we break down what B2B marketers can learn from spotting product fatigue early, tailoring stories for evolving audiences, and creating content that sparks conversation, not just clicks.About our guest, Rachel SterlingRachel Sterling serves as Chief Marketing Officer where she is focused on expanding Identity Digital's impact on driving awareness and adoption of our top level domain portfolio. Prior to joining Identity Digital, Rachel held senior leadership positions at Proximie, Instagram, Twitter, and Google where she developed impactful strategies around product, integrated, content, and event marketing.Rachel also possesses a creative background, spending the first eight years of her career working in TV production and post-production. Rachel lives in Belmont, CA with her husband and two children.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Andor:Recognize when the story has run its course. Just like Disney realized Luke Skywalker's arc had reached its limits, Rachel ties that lesson to brand fatigue. Audiences, like customers, eventually want something new. As she puts it: “Their main characters had been exhausted… you have to consistently monitor for user sentiment.” Andor worked because it didn't cling to nostalgia; it built from a blank slate. In B2B, that means knowing when your message or product line has hit its ceiling and having the courage to reinvent before your audience tunes out.Segment for meaning, not just demographics. Disney didn't make Andor for everyone. It made it for the fans who grew up with A New Hope. Rachel explains: “By exploring more mature themes, you're building content specifically for the core audience that had been there since the very beginning.” The same rule applies in B2B. As your audience evolves, so should your tone, themes, and depth. Mature buyers crave nuance; new ones need accessibility. Build the right story for the right segment, and you'll meet each generation where they are, not where they were.Make content that talks back. Rachel points out that Andor isn't a passive show. It demands engagement long after the credits roll. As she says: “Content no longer exists in a passive experience… The sign of a good show is when you can engage in conversation beyond just a simple, ‘that was good.'” In B2B, the same holds true. The best content doesn't just get attention; it gets people talking, sharing, and connecting around a shared idea. Don't settle for applause, aim for conversation that keeps your brand in motion.Quote“Just because you feel affinity for the product does not mean that people will continue to share that affinity. I definitely think that marketers, from seeing the decision that Disney made to Greenlight Andor, can take away the message [to] understand when you have product fatigue.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Rachel Sterling, Chief Marketing Officer at Identity Digital[01:51] Why Andor?[03:36] The Role of CMO at Identity Digital[04:45] What is Andor?[22:32] B2B Marketing Lessons from Andor[42:14] Identity Digital's Brand and Content Strategy[45:52] Advice for First-Time CMOs[48:27] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Rachel on LinkedInLearn more about Identity DigitalAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Anakin Skywalker and his son Luke were instrumental in the events of the Star Wars galaxy. They were both powerful Jedi Masters whose heroic actions and decisions led to the return of the Jedi, but they also nearly led to the dark side forever dominating the galaxy. Both made the ultimate sacrifice to save those they cared about and other galactic citizens. But who is the true hero of the Star Wars saga? Join us live at Fan X 2025 as we debate which Jedi Master is the true hero in the galaxy and the audience will help us decide.

Zo is joined by Jenn from My Streaming Bubble and Twin It to Win It podcasts to bear witness to an interstellar civil war. They've imbedded themselves with a faction that calls itself the Rebellion to Restore the Republic (also known by their opponents, the First Galactic Empire as "Rebel Scum"). They've traveled with the Rebellion from the permanent snowball of a planet known as Hoth to an undisclosed location with their fleet in deep space. Meanwhile, a number of their leaders were delayed with their arrival to the fleet. Their Commander, Luke Skywalker, had taken a sabbatical to continue his mystic training that the Rebels believe will be a great asset to their eventual victory. It is believed that Captain Han Solo and a former Senator of Alderaan - Princess Leia Organa may have been captured by the supreme commander of the Imperial Fleet: Lord Darth Vader. Zo and Jenn are grateful for the lull of activity while the Rebels wait anxiously at their secret rendezvous point in the hopes that their most important leaders will somehow return. They barely made it out of the Hoth system alive and they've had enough excitement for one lifetime.#StarWars Episode Chapters00:14:50 Opening Credits for Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back Starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher00:33:05 Favorite Parts of the 1980 film Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back01:24:25 Trivia from the sci-fi action fantasy Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back 01:39:26 Critics' Thoughts on Irvin Kershner's Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back Jenn's LinksMy Streaming Bubble WebsiteMy Streaming Bubble on Pod.link: Twin It To Win it on PodlinkTwitter: @StreamingBubble Facebook: @MyStreamingBubble Instagram: @MyStreamingBubble Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: fanmail@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.
