Podcasts about original trilogy

With the introduction of Original Trilogy characters to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland, it brings up the question as to whether Disney recognizes that the land has grown stale over the past seven years.  Rick and Maz discuss whether that is the case in this week's episode of the podcast.

We loved the cinematography of Maul: Shadow Lord so much that it inspired us to go back to our roots and analyze the cinematography of the Star Wars Original Trilogy. We specifically focus on Luke Skywalker in three character-building scenes: the binary sunset from A New Hope, when he meets Yoda in Empire Strikes Back, and when he resists the Emperor in Return of the Jedi. We discuss lighting, costumes, framing, and so much more! We hope you enjoy this deep dive into one of cinema's most iconic characters.Watch our special EXTRA 200th episode for free on our Patreon (it's different from this audio episode): ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/posts/its-our-200th-156470434⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon for as little as $3/month: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/MostThingsKenobi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠most_things_kenobi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠mostthingskenobi.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MostThingsKenobi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠most_things_kenobi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tumblr: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MostThingsKenobi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

A Star Wars movie is back in theaters for the first time since 2019! In this episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia Barr and B.J. Priester kick off our analysis of The Mandalorian and Grogu with a discussion of the major storytelling decisions underlying the film, which is directed by Jon Favreau and co-written by Favreau, Dave Filoni, and Noah Kloor (The Book of Boba Fett). As the sixth movie of the Disney era and the first Star Wars film built upon source material from outside the preceding movies – specifically the three seasons of the Disney+ streaming series The Mandalorian as well as adjacent series The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka – the creation of The Mandalorian and Grogu faced a number of challenges not previously faced by theatrical Star Wars, including an imperative to produce the movie on a considerably smaller budget than the Sequel Trilogy releases while reviving fan and customer enthusiasm for Star Wars on the big screen and the ancillary merchandise revenue that has long accompanied Star Wars films. This context in the state of the franchise explains a number of key decisions about the story built for The Mandalorian and Grogu, including the desire to acknowledge the full range of previous Star Wars stories and fans, from the Original Trilogy and Expanded Universe to the Prequels, The Clone Wars, and Disney-era films, animation, and publishing. We also examine the themes found at the heart of the story, and the non-Star Wars cinematic influences on Favreau's movie. We then revisit a frequent aspect of the Hyperspace Theories podcast: examining how Star Wars' longstanding association with the monomyth story structure shapes the tale being told in The Mandalorian and Grogu. Unsurprisingly, as a standalone film rather than a segment within a trilogy, The Mandalorian and Grogu readily aligns with the cinematic story structure expressed by Christopher Vogler, a distillation and updating of the classical monomyth found in the work of Joseph Campbell. This plot structure also guides the character arcs for The Mandalorian and Grogu, which features the two titular characters as well as significant character development for a third: Rotta the Hutt, who faces his own father-son thematic turmoil as well as pivotal choices about his path in life and the future he seeks for himself in the galaxy far far away.

Toen The Mandalorian voor het eerst verscheen op Disney+, betekende het niet alleen de langverwachte sprong van Star Wars naar live-action televisie, het blies ook opnieuw de mythische ziel leven in die de Original Trilogy ooit legendarisch maakte. Onder de dubbele zonnen van nostalgie baande de serie zich een eigen weg door het verbrijzelde sterrenstelsel dat achterbleef na de val van het Keizerrijk. Een wereld waarin cowboy-vertelkunst en Star Wars-magie samensmolten tot iets dat tegelijk tijdloos én volledig nieuw aanvoelde. Nu breidt die reis zich uit naar het grootste podium van allemaal: het witte doek. Maar The Mandalorian naar de bioscoop brengen betekent meer dan simpelweg grotere actiescènes en spectaculairdere veldslagen tonen. Het betekent bewijzen dat deze uithoek van de galaxy kan uitgroeien tot méér dan een streamingfenomeen, dat het het volgende grootse filmhoofdstuk kan worden binnen de Star Wars-saga. De inzet is groter. De verwachtingen zijn torenhoog. En één vraag valt niet te ontwijken: Heeft het Star Wars werkelijk naar een hoger niveau getild?Niets meer missen?

This week on the House of Gozer Podcast on the eve of the first Star Wars movie to hit theaters in seven years, we take a journey through the entire saga. From the magic and mystery of the Original Trilogy, to the divisive but ambitious Prequel Era, all the way to the Disney era where Star Wars transformed from a once-in-a-generation cinematic event into an entire streaming ecosystem. We also dig into how fandom itself has changed over the last 50 years. From kids simply happy to get more adventures in the galaxy… to modern audiences demanding the exact stories they want. This isn't just a discussion about Star Wars movies. It's about nostalgia, identity, growing older with the things we love, and whether a franchise can continue evolving without leaving parts of its fandom behind. Because maybe the real struggle with Star Wars isn't whether it changed, can it still belong to everyone. All that and more this week on the House of Gozer Podcast.

This time, we are back to talk about the Original Trilogy hitting Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland Park and another Free Comic Book Day crawl!

I have a confession to make: The first Star Wars movie I ever saw was Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. I was 13, and it just hit the dollar theater when my friend invited me to see it with him. He realized I had never seen the Original Trilogy when I was surprised that Qui-Gon Jinn died (spoiler, I guess). We fixed that quickly, but this movie, despite being considered the worst Star Wars movie of all time (maybe bottom 2 now), started my love of the franchise.So I thought, in honor of May the Fourth, I'd share with you what you can learn from Star Wars...particularly from a solopreneur systems and automations point of view.

Disney is distancing itself from the Star Wars sequels this May the 4th, and we have to wonder if it isn't in an effort to salvage what's left of the dying Star wars brand. The theme parks are also pivoting to Original Trilogy after the exodus of Kathleen Kennedy because that's what people want and EXPECT from Star Wars. So about that Rey movie...

Marvel's new five-issue Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge -- Echoes of the Empire debuts this week, with a story that spans the Saga timeline yet zeroes in on events between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as Luke, Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2 travel to Black Spire on Batuu. Written by Ethan Sacks, who's an old hand at plotting real-world aligned stories such as these (Galaxy's Edge, Halcyon Legacy), illustrated by Jethro Morales and Roi Mercado, colored by Rachelle Rosenberg and lettered by VC's Clayton Cowles, the first issue starts strong, hitting the right beats with a crafted blend of nostalgia for the Original Trilogy while proliferating The High Republic and Sequel Trilogy, too. Comics Discussed This Week:Galaxy's Edge -- Echoes of the Empire #1 (of 5)Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:

It's been confirmed that Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger were the ones who made Disney pivot from the Original Trilogy to the Sequel Trilogy for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. It was a COLOSSAL failure that Disney is only now trying to correct by introducing Vader, Luke, Han and Leia into the theme parks.

In Episode 2 of our Star Wars series, we move beyond rankings and hot takes to explore something deeper: what actually makes Star Wars… Star Wars.From emotional moments that still hit decades later, to the role of the Force, to why some stories resonate and others fall flat, we dig into the storytelling DNA of the galaxy far, far away—and how it extends beyond the films into the Disney Parks.We also ask a bigger question:Is Star Wars at its best when it looks forward… or when it leans into nostalgia?And yes… things get a little unhinged along the way.

Is Starfighter the best Star Wars film since Empire Strikes Back?

We continue our look at the opening scenes of each movie in the Skywalker Saga with a stop in the Original Trilogy! This discussion covers where it all began nearly 50 years ago with what is arguably the most iconic opening shot in all of Star Wars! We're thrown into a frenetic escape, rising tensions (not temperatures), and plans for the Emperor's direct involvement! There's a meteor that hit the ground near here. We're going to check it out, it won't take long. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Star Wars landscape just shifted in a massive way. In this episode, Glen and Jason break down the bombshell news of Kathleen Kennedy's departure from Lucasfilm and what the new leadership era under Dave Filoni and Lynwen Brennan means for the future of the franchise. We also ask the question, who's really in charge of the Star Wars franchise?We also head to Batuu to discuss the shocking "timeline unlock" at Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge, where the Original Trilogy is finally making its grand return.Some episode highlights include:Kathleen Kennedy's Departure: We analyze her 14-year legacy—the highs, the lows, and the project insights she shared on her way out. What does her exit mean for the immediate future of Star Wars cinema?The Dave Filoni Era: With Filoni taking the creative reins, we discuss why certain projects are on hold and how much control Disney is maintaining over the "Mandoverse."Galaxy's Edge Timeline Shift: Huge news for park fans! Disneyland is officially bringing back Original Trilogy characters. We discuss seeing Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker in Black Spire Outpost and what this means for immersion.Toys, Bingo & Rogue Fun: We close out the show with the latest Star Wars toy reveals, our official 2026 Star Wars Bingo Card check-in, and updates on the Rogue Fun event!

Big Star Wars news just dropped, and Disneyland fans have been waiting years for this. Galaxy's Edge is officially unlocking its timeline, bringing the Original Trilogy back into the land in a big way. Darth Vader, classic stormtroopers, original-era music, and major atmosphere changes are on the way… and yes, this is a Disneyland-only update (sorry, Disney World).In this episode of Dreaming of Disney, Tim and Audreyann break down what's changing, why fans pushed so hard for this, and how Disney is dividing Galaxy's Edge into different Star Wars eras. We talk characters, music, Smuggler's Run updates, Star Wars Nite timing, and whether this finally fixes one of the land's biggest complaints.If you've ever felt like Galaxy's Edge was missing something… this might be the update you've been waiting for.

BREAKING NEWS: Kathleen Kennedy's control of Lucasfilm and Star Wars has come to an end. We review some telling highlights from Kathy's exit interview and discuss her Star Wars legacy. With Dave Filoni taking charge of Lucasfilm, does this mean George Lucas will return to the fold? We share our thoughts. Disney revealed a facelift is coming to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland as Original Trilogy characters and situations will be incorporated into the theme park this April. We review all the information about the changes and offer our opinions. Star Wars: Starfighter will feature lightsaber duels and none other than Tom Cruise stopped by the set to jump behind the camera to shoot a sequence. We look at a fresh interview with director Shawn Levy and speculate which characters will be involved in the duel and why. Mark Hamill recently discussed The Force Awakens and the lack of a reunion between Han, Luke and Leia. Find out why such a get together never materialized. Plus, we got interview highlights from Mia Goth, Oscar Isaac and more!

We're wrapping up a great year for Star Wars and Rebel Force Radio as we celebrate the season with friends and family. Noted and acclaimed Star Wars author/illustrator Christopher J. Sorrentino aka "Baby Belushi" ("Nerdy, Dirty, and Tasteless Star Wars Jokes IV") joins us for the whole show as we look back at the Star Wars year that was. We break down everything of importance that happened in Star Wars and RFR throughout 2025. From Skeleton Crew to Andor to The Hunt for Ben Solo and all stops in between, we review it all.  Keeping within the family theme of the holidays, Dylan McInerney joins us In The Cantina. RFR interviewed Dylan Mac 15 years ago after he watched The Original Trilogy for the first time when he was just 7 years old. Now, Dylan returns to RFR to answer the same questions we originally asked him back in 2010. How have his answers and opinions changed over the years and how have they stayed the same? Join us to find out!  Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year from your Star Wars pals at Rebel Force Radio! See you in 2026! 

"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.

There has been an awakening... Have you felt it?Star Wars: Episode VII – THE FORCE AWAKENS celebrates it's 10th anniversary! It's been TEN YEARS since the Disney-era of Star Wars got kick-started with the Sequel Trilogy, giving us so many amazing new stories. It is only fitting that we revisit this special film that introduced us to new characters like Rey, Finn, Poe, and of course, Kylo Ren/Ben Solo. Does this film hold up ten years later? Was it a worthy way to honor the Original Trilogy and kick start this new era?Today we reminisce on the time leading to this film and the joy and positivity the journey to The Force Awakens generated. We'll always be grateful for this film and time in Star Wars fandom for reigniting our love for this franchise and starting our towards TRIAD Of The FORCE!• • •TRIAD Of The FORCE is a STAR WARS+ podcast hosted by Gus, Nani, & Chase—Puerto Rican and queer creators sharing deep dives, and heartfelt conversations from a galaxy far, far away.

A podcast episode Years in the making!   This week on First Steps, we FINALLY finish the Original Trilogy!   Join the FS Crew as they discuss "STAR WARS: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi"

As is our tradition, we dedicate ample time to listener feedback on the final RFR before Thanksgiving. It's our way of turning the spotlight onto our audience to say "thanks" for being so loyal and supportive. From your comments about new releases like Star Wars Visions to thoughts on The Original Trilogy, we love hearing from you. Is Obi-Wan the greatest Jedi ever? When did fans first learn The Empire Strikes Back was not "Star Wars II" but instead "Episode V"? What about the '90s when Star Wars was only being represented by The Expanded Universe and PC games like Dark Forces. These are just some of the questions our audience of superfans are throwing at us. Plus, we take a brief look back at the history of the Baby Yoda balloon at The Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, updates on the potential official release and 4K upgrade of the original 1977 version of Star Wars, the Yoda statue controversy in Jonesborough, Tennessee and more.

https://lnk.bio/Jeditalk Go ahead and throw your stones, but you can't tell us you haven't thought about it...right?  The full council is here to eventually discuss 3 changes we each would make to the Original Trilogy Star Wars films.  Before the change chat, we discussed what a Rebels writer said about Sabine Wren's character direction in Ahsoka. And Daniel Logan said Clone Wars season 7 was supposed to be about Boba Fett?  Come see The Mandalorian and Grogu with us FOR FREE, OPENING NIGHT!

“This is the story of Star Wars. You can read along with me in your book.

Episode 411! https://lnk.bio/Jeditalk This week's episode is mostly about the recent news from Adam Driver himself about the failed "Hunt for Ben Solo". Why would Bob Iger say no to this?  David Fincher was close to creating a post Episode 9 movie as well that fell through.  When Brad returns, we will do our Top 3 Changes to The Original Trilogy! Thank you for listening! https://lnk.bio/Jeditalk

Ken, Tom, Rob, and David are all back with 4 questions about "The Force Awakens" from Star Wars. Question 1: How does Kyle Ren compare to Darth Vader as a Villain? What do you think of his motivations, inner conflict, and emotional instability versus Vader's stoicism? Question 2: Those of us that grew up with the Original Trilogy wanted to see a Luke, Han, and Leia reunion somewhere in The Force Awakens. How do you think they could have worked this in while still telling the story of the new characters? Question 3: Which background character from The Force Awakens would you like to see their own standalone project (Novel, Comic, Animated series, or Movie)? Question 4: If we pretend it's 2015 again and we've only seen The Force Awakens, how would you rank the new characters based purely on their potential from that movie alone? Characters to Rank: 1. Rey 2. Finn 3. Kylo Ren 4. Poe Dameron 5. BB-8 6. General Hux 7. Maz Kanata 8. Captain Phasma 9. Supreme Leader Snoke Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

George Lucas WASHES HIS HANDS of Star Wars! Would Disney DARE REBOOT the Original Trilogy?!

The legendary book "Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays" features the complete shooting scripts for all three of the Original Trilogy films, along with notations revealing information about how each scene evolved throughout George Lucas's writing process, from the rough draft to the final revised fourth script. The book also included new interview quotes from Lucas and other key creatives, pulling the curtain back even further. Join us for this special RFR Q&A discussion, previously only available to members of the RFR Patreon community, featuring actor Matt Rashid as we discuss the screenplay to A NEW HOPE and act out a couple scenes.

It's A STORM OF SPOILERS: A STAR WARS SPECIAL!

They end by speculating on what Star Wars character aligns with their political journeys and wondering if Grogu has any politics.
