No new Star Wars comics this week, but they'll return on March 4 with two, one each from Marvel and Dark Horse. Still, we've got the details about the upcoming five-issue series of Rogue One one-shots, along with speculation about upcoming publishing plans by Marvel and Dark Horse.Comics Discussed This Week:NoneStar Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week: Jedi Knights #9 (of 10) News:Five separate, yet related, one shots to mark the 10th anniversary of the release of the most excellent Star Wars: Rogue One film are coming from Marvel from May to September. Each issue is a one-and-done story that begins in May with Cassian Andor, followed by Jyn Erso, Saw Gerrera, Chirrut and Baze and finally, Darth Vader. Check the Facebook page or our our Blue Sky feed for details on each issue's creative teams.Details on Marvel's May solicits are on our social-media feeds.There's no new Dark Horse Comics' June solicits. That's because the publisher pushed the already solicited Star Wars: The High Republic -- Pathfinders #3 (of 6) to June 3 from May. So when one of those so-called "news sites" poses an asinine question, you already have your answer.

Hunter and Jessica are back to discuss the absolute emotional devastation that was Andor Season 2, Episode 8, "Who Are You?".It's the end of the line for everyone's favorite stalker. The hosts break down Syril Karn's final, crushing moments—where getting punched in the face by Cassian Andor hurts less than realizing your arch-nemesis doesn't even know your name. Talk about an identity crisis.Meanwhile, Dedra Meero is having a really bad day at the office (and by office, we mean a massacre in the town square), and the hosts debate if she's finally regretting those promotions. Jessica and Hunter also discuss the surprisingly convenient origin story of a certain sassy droid (hello, K2!), and why Cassian really needs to stop assembling sniper rifles in hotel windows—we get it, it's a Rogue One callback!Plus, stay tuned for a rant about The Mandalorian Super Bowl commercial and whether Budweiser Clydesdales are now canon in Star Wars.Join us on Facebook: The Purrgil Pod.

In this episode of SuperHero Homies!, we rank every live-action Star Wars movie and TV series released under Disney from worst to best. That means all 13 projects — including The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker, Rogue One, Solo, The Mandalorian, Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, The Acolyte, and Skeleton Crew — enter the arena. Yes, even Skeleton Crew gets its day in court. Is Andor still the prestige king of Disney Star Wars? Did The Mandalorian redefine the franchise? Has time been kind to the Sequel Trilogy? Where does Ahsoka land? And does Skeleton Crew surprise us or drift into hyperspace obscurity? We debate, we defend, and we reshuffle the galaxy one ranking at a time. Before we jump to hyperspace, our cold open dives into the latest rumors surrounding Spider-Man: Brand New Day, including possible appearances from Tombstone, Jean Grey, and Man-Spider. We also theorize about the X-Men's potential role in Avengers: Doomsday and what incursions could mean for the MCU moving forward. If you love Star Wars rankings, MCU theories, Marvel and DC discussions, comic book commentary, superhero movie reviews, and pop culture debates, this episode is built for you. Whether you're loyal to the light side, flirting with the dark side, or just here for the chaos, we've got you covered.

"It's an immediate time capsule of the era it was published in."Since 1987, Star Wars Insider has been more than just a magazine—it's been a physical record of our favorite saga. With publication officially ending in 2026, we're sitting down with one of the people who helped tell those stories. We are joined by author and Insider contributor Brandon Wainerdi to discuss:*The magazine's 30+ year evolution.*His final interview with the legendary poster artist Drew Struzan.*Behind-the-scenes deep cuts from the Rogue One 10th Anniversary issue.*The research behind his new book, The Star Wars Encyclopedia of Starfighters and Other Vehicles.Whether you still have your first 1980s Starlog or you're a digital-first fan, this episode is a must-watch for anyone who loves the history of Star Wars.
Rogue One is tragic, brutal, and maybe the best Star Wars movie outside the original trilogy. Jason, Rachel, and Jeshua revisit Rogue One in timeline order and unpack why it still hits so hard — from its war-movie structure and unforgettable ending to how Andor completely reframes Cassian's story. We also get into K-2SO love, digital Tarkin debates, and why this movie feels so different from modern Star Wars. Spoilers throughout.

Two very different films in this latest episode of film history podcast Film Stories. Firstly, it's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, an infamously difficult production that saw director Gareth Edwards fashion a war tale in the Star Wars universe - and then reshoots become Hollywood trade press fodder. Coming off the back of two James Bond films meanwhile, director Lewis Gilbert reckoned he might be able to get interest in a film take on hit play Educating Rita back in the early 1980s. He got a short, sharp shock - but a dinner party offered him a very welcome stroke a luck. Stories of both films are told in this episode.

Star Wars is heading into a new era as Kathleen Kennedy steps down after roughly 14 years leading Lucasfilm, shifting back to producing full time. In this quick breakdown, we talk through what her tenure delivered, why the leadership split between Dave Filoni (creative) and Lynwen Brennan (business and operations) makes sense, and why Filoni feels like the right choice to guide the next wave of Star Wars projects, including the Rey-focused movies. We also tease Kennedy's recent Deadline interview and what it may reveal about what's been happening behind the scenes.00:00 Major Lucasfilm changes, Kennedy's exit, and what her era produced00:19 Why it's worth remembering the wins alongside the debates00:32 The new leadership structure: Filoni on creative, Brennan on operations00:41 Why Filoni fits as a “fan first” creative lead00:52 Avoiding a “Clone Wars only” future and the importance of tentpole movies01:08 Kennedy's Deadline interview tease and quick wrap-upKathleen Kennedy is stepping down as president of Lucasfilm and moving into a full-time producing role.Her tenure covered the modern Star Wars era, from major films to the Disney+ expansion.The planned leadership approach splits creative direction and business operations, similar to other studio structures.Dave Filoni's background across key animated and live-action Star Wars projects positions him as the creative north star.The hope is balance: honoring what works in Star Wars while keeping the big-screen future moving forward.A deeper follow-up is teased based on Kennedy's Deadline interview and the behind-the-scenes details it includes.“Star Wars is going to go through some major changes.”“She took chances, and I respect the hell out of that.”“He's truly a fan first and executive second.”“You need those tentpole movies.”If you enjoyed the episode, subscribe to Geek Freaks Headlines, leave a quick review, and share it with #GeekFreaksHeadlines.

In this episode, host Charles Haine sits down with cinematographer Oren Soffer to dive deep into the groundbreaking and much-discussed visual style of The Creator. As the co-DP alongside Greig Fraser, Soffer shares how they achieved the film's unique aesthetic using a prosumer Sony FX3 camera, a single vintage lens, and a minimalist, indie-inspired production model. This discussion covers everything from lighting choices and VFX collaboration to gear workflows and lens testing, offering an in-depth look at how one of the year's most visually striking sci-fi films was crafted. In this episode, No Film School's Charles Haine and guest Oren Soffer discuss... How Oren Soffer became co-DP on The Creator alongside Greig Fraser The decision to shoot 95% of the film on one vintage 75mm Kowa anamorphic lens Using the Sony FX3 with an Atomos Ninja for ProRes RAW capture The benefits of designing visual effects around photography rather than the reverse Lighting choices inspired by naturalism and a small-footprint, indie ethos The influence of films like Baraka and Rogue One on the visual approach Operating with a nimble crew and custom-built gimbal rigs Remote collaboration between Soffer, Fraser, and director Gareth Edwards The impact of location shooting across Southeast Asia Memorable Quotes: "We shot 95 percent of the movie on a single focal length, which is the Kowa Cine Prominar... you're baking the look into the image." "The way to make visual effects feel more real is to let the photography lead." "We wanted to shoot this big movie as if it's this tiny road movie." "It was an indie film with a 90-day shoot schedule and a full stunt team... but the filmmaking process itself felt really scrappy in the best way possible."

Shawn Levy had to make a big change to the third act of Starfighter before filming. Rogue One is proof of why that can be a very good thing. We discuss that and more Stargfighter bits from Levy's chat with Kevin McCarthy, including what we can expect from Thomas Newman's score thanks in part to advice legendary composer Danny Elfman gave to Levy years ago. Plus, a premise from The Mandalorian and Grogu is floating around the Bluray rumor mill, are we buying this? Find out! We also tackle tough ones in Will of the Force: Will Mando get a trailer in front of AVATAR? Yes please! If you like having a great time talking Star Wars, you've found your home, because if you're listening to this broadcast, you are part of The Resistance!

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
What happens when a BAFTA winning VFX veteran walks away from the studio system to help reinvent the film pipeline with AI? In this episode, Alex is joined by Ben Lock, a producer with over 20 years in animation, VFX and virtual production, with credits including Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rogue One and Ready Player One. After decades at Aardman, Lucasfilm and ILM, Ben is now Director of Production Strategy at Asteria Film and Moon Valley, where he is working on a new generation of ethical, AI driven workflows for film and animation. Ben shares why he believes the future of filmmaking lies in visual intelligence rather than prompt driven tools, and how rapid visualisation can transform pre production, VFX and animation. He explains how AI can reduce friction, keep artists closer to performance and story, and even help make high quality animated features in under a year. The conversation explores: - How AI is reshaping the production pipeline without replacing artists - Why Moon Valley is built around visual intelligence, not just language models - What a faster, more iterative animation and VFX workflow looks like in practice - How generative tools can support virtual production and independent visions - What the VFX industry needs to do now to adapt and thrive Sharing insights from across his career working on tentpole studio projects as well as independent filmmaking, Ben conveys his vision for how AI might just help the film industry become more creative, more sustainable and more responsive to new stories and audiences. About Ben Lock Ben Lock - A BAFTA-winning producer with over 20 years of experience in animation, VFX, and virtual production. He has produced award-winning content for studios in Europe, Asia and the US including Aardman, Lucasfilm, and ILM, with credits on global franchises such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rogue One, and Ready Player One.

Frank is joined by Sylvie for a dive into Star Wars: Andor from the perspective of a casual fan who suddenly finds herself all-in on the Rebellion. Why the show works without Jedi or lightsabers, how its politics feel uncomfortably current, and what makes characters like Dedra, Cyril, and Mon Mothma so magnetic. Watching Rogue One after Andor, the joy of discovering the connections in reverse, and why this corner of Star Wars hits differently. Cheers!

Send us a textJoining me on today's episode of The English Wine Diaries are Neil and Maria Corbould, owners of The Grape Escape Vineyard – one of the country's newest and perhaps most unique wine producers. Neil and Maria planted their five-acre boutique vineyard in Chertsey, Surrey, in 2023 and have been busy tending to the vines with their first commercial harvest taking place this year. However, the couple's day jobs are quite different – often seeing them swap muddy boots and secateurs for glad rags and red carpets.Neil is an award-winning Special Effects Supervisor, whose four-decade career has helped shape some of the most iconic films in modern cinema. His groundbreaking effects on large scale productions, such as Gladiator, Gravity, Mission: Impossible, Rogue One, and Napoleon, have earned him global acclaim, with two Academy Awards and four Baftas. Maria is also from a distinguished film background. With a Masters degree in Film Production, she has worked across numerous major productions, including Harry Potter, Mission: Impossible, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and many more. Their combined expertise in film brings a real storytelling element to their vineyard journey, which they share on social media with the handle @the.grape.escape.vineyard.I had so much fun recording this episode – Neil and Maria are such fun and aren't afraid to share the highs and lows of their vineyard experience. This episode of The English Wine Diaries is sponsored by Rankin Bros & Sons — trusted suppliers of corks, closures, and packaging solutions to the UK wine industry since 1774.

Riz Ahmed is one of his generation's great British actors. He starred alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler, before landing roles in big budget films from Jason Bourne to Rogue One. For his latest role, Ahmed has teamed up with director David McKenzie to play a man who works as a broker between whistleblowers and the companies who want their secrets returned. As Shiv in Succession, the scheming daughter of the Logan Roy dynasty, Sarah Snook was an integral part of one of the most critically acclaimed TV ensembles of recent years. But Snook has gone back to the small screen- in All Her Fault, Snook plays Marisa Irvine, a mother who faces her worst nightmare when her four year old son goes missing. Between 1970 and 1984, BBC1's experimental drama strand Play for Today created what is now regarded as classic British drama. It helped launch the careers of many celebrated writers, directors and actors including Helen Mirren, Alison Steadman, Ray Winstone and more. Play for Today has now been revived, with four new dramas being broadcast in the coming weeks by Channel 5. We hear from Paul Testar, the commissioner of the new Play for Today strand; Tom May who made Play for Today the subject of his PhD and Margaret Matheson, a producer of the strand in the 1970s.

Going off about two shows that transported me to very different worlds, but with similar messages. Poldark (on PBS, BBC, Netflix, Apple, and more) is a historical drama about a man returning home from war to find his home, legacy, and love all lost to him. A love triangle serves as the core of the show, as decisions made by each person follow them throughout their lives. War, famine, and struggle presented in England after the American Revolutionary war serve as the backdrop for loveable, and infuriating, characters and plotlines. Then, I finally dig into why I loved Andor and reasons why you might too. Each show is discussed carefully to avoid major spoilers and twists. Movies recommended during the pod are: Rogue One, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Dolores Claiborne, Michael Clayton, and The Cutting EdgeTimestamp: Poldark is the first 30min, Andor is the last 30min.All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

The podcast delves into the contrasting financial and popular reception of "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" as compared to "Rogue One" and "Solo," highlighting the nuances in audience engagement and box office performance. Danny J. Quick joins the discussion to elaborate on his creative endeavors, particularly the Kickstarter campaigns for "Ace Blade" and "Ballad of the Black Rose." Furthermore, we explore the intriguing premise of comic book characters that possess the potential to be reimagined within the horror genre, including notable figures such as Scarlet Witch, Doctor Doom, and Brother Voodoo. The episode also touches upon the participation of Blerd Station in the Urban Action Showcase, alongside details of an upcoming IG Live session this weekend, promising a rich array of content that celebrates diverse narratives in the comic and cinematic realms. As we navigate these multifaceted topics, we invite listeners to engage with the conversation and reflect on the evolving landscape of storytelling in popular culture.“When justice gets dark… heroes get real.”Join us Thursday 10/23 @ 8 PM EST as we talk to Danny J.

Danny J. Quick elaborates on his comic projects including 'Ace Blade' and 'Ballad of the Black Rose', currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, emphasizing the importance of independent comics in the industry. The speakers explore the idea of which comic book characters could be adapted into horror films, suggesting characters like Scarlet Witch and Doctor Doom due to their dark and complex natures. The podcast highlights upcoming events such as the Blood and Bourbon event and the Urban Action Showcase, where Black comic creators will showcase their work, including the presence of Blerd Station. Danny J. Quick expresses his passion for storytelling, particularly focusing on narratives that represent Black experiences in genres typically devoid of such representation, like Westerns and horror. The episode concludes with discussions on the integration of comics into various media formats, including video games and live-action adaptations, and the need for diverse storytelling in horror.

Join, Josh, Trent, and Joseph as they finally share thoughts on the hit second season of "Andor." In the episode, the trio discuss the show's many merits. Including but not limited to; how the show works as a continuation of the "Andor" storyline, and adds new depth to "Rogue One." Largely however, they examine why the show is one of the best things on TV period, thanks to its technical craft, complex characters, and layered and matured writing.Later in the episode, the guys share some of their initial thoughts on the first trailer for "The Mandalorian and Grogu" (1:02:26). They discuss how the trailer captures a feeling of a fun space adventure, but also share some concerns they have about it being Star Wars return to the big screen.Co-hosts: Josh Gann & Trent Neely & Joseph Snead Music: John BattistonTwitter: https://twitter.com/thestingerpod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thestingerpod/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFSC5LKRJlgq3IEkSE6dwvw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thestingerpod

On this week's episode, I'm joined by Tony Gilroy to discuss his work on Andor, the hit Disney+ series that's a prequel to Rogue One but has ambitions beyond telling the backstory of the Death Star. It is, in a very real way, a TV show about our moment and the mounting tension felt throughout the political order: from Imperial troops on the streets of civilian cities attempting to provoke conflict to Luthen Rael's (Stellan Skarsgård) campaign of violent resistance, one can't help but draw parallels to this increasingly fraught point in American history.
Why Did Vader Fly Away?John & Matt discuss the possible reasons Darth Vader kept flying away from Yavin 4 after gaining control of his ship at the end of the original Star Wars.

The hosts of Star Wars Generations reunite after their hiatus to discuss rewatching Rogue One following the conclusion of Andor Season Two. This episode explores how the Disney+ series fundamentally changes the viewing experience of the 2016 film, adding emotional depth and context that wasn't there before.How does Cassian Andor's character development in the series change his role in Rogue One? The hosts examine how knowing Cassian's backstory makes every decision and mannerism more impactful, particularly that opening scene where he shoots his informant Tivik. Understanding his journey from reluctant participant to committed rebel adds weight to moments that previously felt surface-level.What does Andor reveal about the Empire's political machinery? Beyond the obvious evil of planet-destroying superweapons, the series shows the propaganda, political maneuvering, and systematic oppression that drives people to rebellion. The hosts discuss how this context makes characters like Director Krennic more menacing and the rebels' desperation more understandable.How does the Rebel Alliance's internal structure affect the story? Seeing the fractured, bureaucratic nature of the rebellion in Andor makes the "going rogue" aspect of Rogue One more meaningful. The hosts explore how the series shows rebels literally rebelling against their own leadership.What's the real nature of Cassian and Jyn's relationship? The episode tackles online discourse about whether their connection was romantic, especially given Cassian's relationship with Bix in Andor. The hosts argue for a more nuanced interpretation that doesn't require choosing sides or diminishing either relationship. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

A long time ago in a galaxy not so far away, writer-director Dan Gilroy became captivated by the machinations of power; how throughout history, authoritarian figures have seduced electorates, seized control of nations and eroded important pillars of democracy – leading resistance fighters to push back across punishing decades of struggle. It's a tale as old as time in our history books – but not necessarily in our movies and TV shows, which haven't always shown just how bruising and thankless rebellion actually is. That is, until Andor – the acclaimed Star Wars TV show created by Dan's brother Tony Gilroy, which Dan is one of the key writers on. The 66-year-old was recently nominated for an Emmy for his work on the recent second season of the show, which concluded the gripping story of Cassian Andor – a complex hero first introduced in 2016's Rogue One. The show's electrifying portrait of a band of spies operating in the shadows to try and overthrow the Empire was sophisticated and in the eyes of many viewers, incredibly timely, too. Today on Script Apart, Dan joins Al to dig into what Andor was really all about. The warnings he hoped his episodes would provide, about how fascism functions. The truth about who Cassian was, played by Diego Luna. The truth about who Imperial bureaucrat Syril was, played by Kyle Soller. Why if the show extended further, we may well have seen Emperor Palpatine. Excitingly, you'll also hear in detail about an episode of Andor that Dan wrote but never made the screen – an episode he says would have been like Ridley Scott's Alien, with fan-favourite robot K2SO playing a Xenamorph-like role. And of course, because 2014's Nightcrawler, which Dan wrote and directed, is one of the great undersung thrillers of all time, there's a sprinkling of chat about that film too.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

What does it take to shoot Formula 1 at Formula 1 speed? For 1st Assistant Director Toby Hefferman, it meant precision, improvisation, and a crew running at full throttle. This week on Below the Line, Toby Hefferman joins Skid to talk about his work on F1: The Movie, the high-octane feature that merges scripted drama with real-world racing. From on-track logistics to high-pressure resets, Toby shares how he and the crew captured the energy of Formula 1 without slowing it down. In our Season 24 finale, we cover: Preparing for race-day chaos with limited takes and no second chances Coordinating between production and the F1 organization for track access and safety Balancing authentic racing with scripted storytelling beats Working with the F1 broadcast crew and integrating into their existing coverage footprint Collaborating closely with director Joseph Kosinski to shape coverage and keep pace with the story Navigating the unique demands of filming alongside professional F1 drivers in active race environments What it means to “make the day” when the cars set the schedule — not the crew Toby also reflects on lessons learned from large-scale productions like Rogue One, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, and Dune: Part Two — and why every great AD balances structure with flexibility.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this week's "Spicy Mode" episode of Grumpy Old Geeks proves that while things change, they mostly stay the same—just with more AI and less common sense. First up in FOLLOW UP, some poor schmoe automaker actually got a federal exemption for automated vehicles. Because what could possibly go wrong when we let robots drive?Then we dive headfirst into IN THE NEWS, a veritable dumpster fire of artificial intelligence. Illinois, bless their hearts, decided to ban AI therapists, probably because even they realized a chatbot won't fix your existential dread. But don't worry, older Americans are totally embracing these digital companions, like ElliQ, your friendly AI sidekick for "happier, healthier aging." Meanwhile, Perplexity is still allegedly scraping websites like it's 1999, and Apple's cooking up a "stripped-down" AI chatbot, probably because all their good AI talent bailed. Even Wells Fargo is deploying AI agents, so now your bank can deny you a loan with even less human empathy. And naturally, the US government is totally on board with OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic—because handing over the keys to Skynet to federal agencies sounds like a super solid plan. Oh, and of course, Grok now has a "spicy" NSFW mode, because what else would you expect? And just when you thought it couldn't get any dumber, Microsoft is "cautiously onboarding" Grok 4 after some minor Hitler concerns. Tesla, in a move that surprises absolutely no one, shut down Dojo, their AI training supercomputer. If you're still using ChatGPT for your deepest, darkest secrets, be warned: a single poisoned document could leak all your data. Even the Swedish Prime Minister is apparently relying on ChatGPT for decision-making. In other news that doesn't involve robots taking over, Amazon split up Wondery and laid off a bunch of folks, and Microsoft's Windows XP Crocs are an actual thing. Yes, really.For MEDIA CANDY, prepare for a dose of nostalgia and existential dread. We're talking Rogue One, Nate Bargatze's stand-up specials (because sometimes you just need to laugh), Portlandia, Craig Ferguson, and the OG AI movie, Colossus: The Forbin Project. Netflix keeps canceling everything we love, including Fubar, but hey, The Sandman Season 2 and Wednesday are still here. And just to prove that Hollywood is still stuck in the past, Universal Pictures is threatening to sue Big Tech for stealing their movies for AI. Over in APPS & DOODADS, Google's smart home ecosystem is apparently crumbling, because who needs a cohesive system when you can have a dozen disconnected devices? But hey, OpenAI released a free GPT model you can run on your laptop, so now you can build your own personal AI overlord right at home. And finally, THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE brings us Gravity Falls books and a new Star Wars movie with Matt Smith and Ryan Gosling. Oh, and Weird Science is on Netflix, because sometimes you just need to relive the 80s and pretend AI hasn't completely taken over. So grab your flannel, cue up some Oingo Boingo, and enjoy the show, you analog dinosaurs.Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
