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!

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.

✨ Episode Summary:Welcome back to the second installment of our original Star Wars trilogy of episodes! This time, Scott and Candice are joined once again by Jackson and Andy to dive lightsaber-first into all things Galaxy's Edge at Disney Parks.From motion sickness on Smuggler's Run to disappointing breakfasts and mysterious cast member detours that derailed a moment in the Millennium Falcon, the crew shares their weirdest, most disappointing, and most magical moments from their trips to Batuu. We also confront the fuzzy tauntauns, DJ Rex's distracting beats, and—let's be honest—our own podcasting mishaps along the way. (Yes, there was a recording snafu. Yes, we made a joke about it.)The gang explores whether Disney hit the mark with Batuu's storyline, the timeline focus on the sequel trilogy, and whether the land should have embraced the nostalgic might of Vader, Leia, and the OG stormtroopers. Plus, they dream up some incredible additions that Disney really should consider—including a character dining experience on Cloud City with a surprise visit from Darth Vader himself.

We've made it to the conclusion of the Original Trilogy! Return of the Jedi brings our heroes back together, reunites a family, and defeats an evil Galactic Empire! From great themes, exciting action sequences, and impactful character moments we hope you'll join us as we discuss Why We Love Return of the Jedi! Hosted on Acast.

It's A STORM OF SPOILERS: A STAR WARS SPECIAL! This week, Dave and Neil take a moment to think about how George Lucas' Star Wars trilogies and the content produced by Disney after its acquisition are in discussion with the American political climate of the 1970s, 80s, 2000s, and mid-2010s. They end by speculating on what Star Wars character aligns with their political journeys and wondering if Grogu has any politics.

Welcome to A STORM OF SPOILERS: A STAR WARS SPECIAL! In preparation for new episodes of A Storm of Spoilers breaking down Andor Season 2 starting June 18th, 2025, we're re-releasing out pre-pandemic Star Wars Specials dealing with the Skywalker Saga.  Today, it's our LIVE SHOW from the Canyon Theater at the Boulder Public Library in Colorado. This show was mostly recorded on November 21st, 2019 when your three hosts discussed A New Hope (Star Wars), The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. It includes more canon questions from Dave for the audience and his co-hosts, plus a segment with Lindsey Romain (@lindseyromain.bsky.social‬) from Nerdist.com and the Heylo Reylo podcast!

In this episode of Nerd Legion, we dive into a detailed discussion about Season 2 of the Star Wars series 'Andor.' Filmed together in person (or is it just green screen magic?), Monte and DoA analyze the show's characters, themes, and its impact on the Star Wars universe. Hear our thoughts on why Andor is the best Star Wars content since the original trilogy, the challenges of maintaining continuity within the larger Star Wars saga, and some minor gripes we have.

After only 4 weeks - the blink of an eye - it's all over. The best Star Wars story since the Original Trilogy has graced our screens and left us in awe. These final three episodes weren't able to reach the emotional highs of last week's arc, but that wasn't the goal. Instead, it provides time to look back at what brought us here, and sets the stage for the climax of the story to take place not in this moment, but within the now recontextualized film that birthed all of this in the first place, 'Rogue One'. And while the show may carry Cassian's name on the title screen, it's been the cast of characters we've met along the way that truly elevated this experience. Not to pick favourites, but in particular, Luthen and Kleya, who get an episode all to themselves this week are the standouts. And what an episode it was, as their story which shepherded much of the series came to an end, as we all expected it would have to. Embracing those feelings of closure, in the final moments of the series, as Cassian flies off into 'Rogue One', we are treated to our last glimpses of our heroes and villains. From Dedra to Vel and even Perrin, we are left to consider their fates as the story marches with inevitability into what begat all of this way back in 1977. Will we ever see Kleya, Vel, Wilmon, or Bix again? One can only hope - and rebellions? Well, they're built on hope.

Welcome back to part two of us discussing the Star Wars Saga alongside our expert Sean AKA Modern Mythos. This time we are tackling the Original Trilogy.Tables of Contents:00:00 (Intro)21:19 (A New Hope)52:45 (Empire Strikes Back)01:31:46 (Return of the Jedi)02:06:34 (Movie Recommendations)
