From October 18, 2017: If you were unsure about whether your hosts are geeks, this episode will help settle the question. But before we get to what Professors Chesney and Vladeck think they know but don't really, here's the stuff they actually do know something about!First, the travel ban. Buckle up, there's a new nationwide TRO, out of Hawaii, enjoining enforcement of most of Travel Ban 3.0.Second, a double-shot of the Nashiri military commissions case. The Supreme Court denied cert., seemingly paving the way for that case to roll forward. But not so fast–all the civilian defense attorneys, including their death-penalty expert, have just quit, citing ethical quandaries arising from alleged government surveillance of attorney-client communications.Third, and speaking of surveillance, the Supreme Court did grant cert. in the Microsoft-Ireland spat, which raises the question whether a “(d) order” under the Stored Communications Act can compel a company in the U.S. to produce data that is within the company's control but stored on a server overseas.Fourth, and staying with the technology & statutes theme, there's a fascinating “hack back” bill now pending in Congress, with the best acronym ever: the Active Cyber Defense Certainty Act, aka the ACDC Act. For those about to legislate, we salute you. And for those who want to know what this bill does, we…well, listen to the show for an introductory primer.Fifth, and briefly, an update on the status of ACLU v. Mattis, which is the habeas petition the ACLU filed on behalf of the still-unnamed U.S. citizen held as an enemy combatant in Iraq.If you stuck around this long, perhaps you do have an appetite for bad humor and unwitty pop culture observations. In that case, you'll perhaps enjoy an argument about the right ranking of the Star Wars films, where the only disagreement turns out to be which was the very best and which the very worst. Or perhaps you fancy using Star Wars as a teaching foil in class? Stick around for some Law of Interstellar Armed Conflict discussions, not to mention the role of Greedo in illustrating the principles of anticipatory self-defense. Han shot first, and that's all.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Jim Hill and Dan Graney ring in the holidays with a Marvel conversation that somehow involves hacked PayPal accounts, cardboard Star Wars memories, and one of the strangest trailer rollouts in studio history. As Marvel's Doomsday marketing quietly unravels through shaky theater footage and strategically ignored leaks, the guys dig into what's really going on behind the scenes - and why this controlled chaos may actually be the plan. Along the way, they unpack the emotional and narrative risks of bringing Steve Rogers back into the MCU, especially now that he's apparently a dad. NEWS • Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday teaser rollout goes sideways as multiple theater-only trailers leak online • Chris Evans' Steve Rogers quietly returns - with a baby - raising major Endgame continuity questions • Marvel reportedly plans a rotating, four-week Doomsday teaser strategy tied to Avatar: Fire and Ash • Sony clamps down fast on a leaked Spider-Man: Brand New Day teaser while Marvel lets its leaks breathe FEATURE • Why revisiting Steve Rogers' Endgame ending is both risky and emotionally loaded • How kids, legacy, and family may define the stakes of Doomsday and Secret Wars • A wild theory: Is Steve Rogers immune to Doctor Strange's Spider-Man memory spell? • When leaks stop being accidents and start becoming the marketing strategy HOSTS • Jim Hill - IG: @JimHillMedia | X: @JimHillMedia | Website: JimHillMedia.com • Dan Graney - YouTube: The Hubbubbery | Website: thehubbubbery.com FOLLOW • Facebook: JimHillMediaNews • Instagram: JimHillMedia • TikTok: JimHillMedia SUPPORT Support the show and access bonus episodes and additional content at Patreon.com/JimHillMedia.

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!

Bryan has had the privilege of talking with Rian Johnson twice for Script Magazine, once for Knives Out and once for Wake Up Dead Man. Both times they talked about his philosophy on writing and both times it touched on techniques and ideas that intersected with things that were relevant to his work on The Last Jedi. Though these interviews focus on the craft of writing and deal as much with Rian's other movies as they do Star Wars, we hope fans of Star Wars and Full of Sith will enjoy them.

And waffles!Analyzing and reviewing the many iterations of The GrinchWe finally learn what exactly the K-pop Demon Hunters are. They're on the Netflix. Ahsoka Season 2? We don't know her. Or her release date. Or anything. (via The Direct)A word-salad, non-update (nupdate?) on the Rey movie (via Collider)Vidya gamez newz and an Old Republic update all in one!

You know that song from Dirty Dancing, She's Like the Wind? That's how we think of Marrok in Ahsoka. Except he's more like a fart than the wind.

So we agree, Ahmed Best is the best?This week, we're recapping the mythology-filled midpoint of the Mandalorian's third season, “The Foundling” (Chapter 20).

As a holiday bonus, please enjoy this recording of a panel from San Diego Comic-Con 2025 - Celebrating the Puppetry Arts! Panel Description: Puppets have entertained and educated the masses for centuries but the artistry also changes and advances with new technology. Professional puppet builders and performers share insights from their careers working on franchises like Star Wars and the Muppet movies, as well as their experiences with non-traditional puppetry like animatronics, motion capture, and claymation. Panelists include Cheralyn Lambeth (puppet builder, Dinosaurs!, Avenue Q), Kirk Thatcher (writer and director, The Muppets Haunted Mansion), and Fon Davis (model maker, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline). Moderated by Melissa T. Miller (Star Warsologies podcast). Links from the panel discussion: Check out Adam Kreutinger's @PuppetNerd YouTube Channel and the Stan Winston School for puppetry building tips. Watch the Tested video Fon mentioned where he shows Adam Savage around Fonco Studio's effects lab. Here's the TikTok video Kirk mentioned where the baby in Dinosaurs talks back to the director. If you want to hear more about Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas, check out the LA Comic Con panel about those movies that Melissa and Fon did together in 2024.
The holiday you know wasn't born under twinkle lights. It was assembled—piece by piece—out of Star Wars, Sol Invictus and Saturnalia, immigrant folklore and Protestant pushback, department store spectacle and the irresistible pull of a good story. We follow that winding path from Rome's calendar to America's shopping aisles, showing how gift giving shifted from communal ritual to commercial engine and why the myth of a “pure” Christmas never really existed here.We dig into the colonial bans and 19th-century legalization that set the stage for a retail renaissance, when newspapers sold Santa, window displays became cathedrals of commerce, and cards and ornaments scaled through industrial craft. Santa's look didn't start with Coca-Cola; it coalesced from poems and prints that mass marketing spread nationwide. Then we jump to 1977, where George Lucas's bet on merchandising collided with demand: Kenner couldn't make Star Wars figures by Christmas, so it sold promises—the Early Bird Certificate Package. An empty box with stickers and a pledge should have flopped. Instead, scarcity and story turned IOUs into the season's hottest gift and birthed the modern collector boom.The throughline is startling and useful: American Christmas has always blended wonder with salesmanship, moral tales with marketing, generosity with buying. That doesn't cheapen the meaning we make; it puts the power back in our hands. Understand the machinery, keep what matters, and let the rest go. If this history reshaped how you see the season—or made you smile at the audacity of that Star Wars “empty box”—tap follow, share with a friend who loves holiday lore, and drop a review to help more curious listeners find us.
The brothers couldn't let 2025 end without talking about gaming's biggest year-end event: The Game Awards. They review the show, break down their prediction results, and discuss the biggest announcements, including two Star Wars games, two Tomb Raider games, Control Resonant, and more! And with that, happy holidays, and see you in 2026!
One of the things I think a lot about at Christmas is family. Most if not all of us will be born into dysfunctional families or less than ideal circumstances. Our true families are not necessarily those we are related to, but those who love us unconditionally and those who bring us true joy. So, whatever your true family looks like this holiday season, Merry Christmas to all of you.

Welcome to our Christmas episode of Radio Free Endor #119 And its The Podcast Before Christmas.. After an eight-month break, Chris and I are finally back behind the mics, catching up on what we've been up to — from new jobs to changing tech and how it's all shaken up our day-to-day lives. We dive headfirst into the latest Star Wars news, breaking down recent trailers and chatting about the much-talked-about partnership between Disney and OpenAI. That leads us into a wider discussion about AI, creativity, and the future of content creation, and how this tech could shape entertainment going forward. There's plenty of classic Radio Free Endor chatter too — including some brilliant Star Wars merchandise, from themed dartboards and darts to collectibles that really caught our eye. We also wander into gaming territory, talking about highlights from The Game Awards, the reveal of Star Wars Galactic Racer, and the long-awaited Knights of the Old Republic remake. Along the way, we touch on everything from Tomb Raider's future, Columbia's Endor collection, and even some unexpected tech talk (yes, including cars and LIDAR). It's a relaxed, festive catch-up packed with Star Wars, gaming, tech, and the usual Endor-fuelled tangents. Grab a drink, settle in, and join us back on Endor.

Episode 118 Star Wars Celebration Japan: The Ultimate Breadown! In this special episode, Jamie and Chris take you on a full recap and deep dive into Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 — the panels, the guests, the culture mashups, the merch highlights, and all the unforgettable moments that made this Celebration one for the history books! Whether you were there in person or following online, we've got the ultimate rundown for you. Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025 took place in April at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan, bringing fans together from around the world with three full days of panels, exhibits, exclusive merchandise, art shows, and cultural experiences. It was the first Celebration in Japan since 2008 and a uniquely Japanese-infused Celebration that blended galaxy-far-far-away storytelling with local art, pop culture, and fandom. Panels & Programming Highlights We break down the standout panel moments from the weekend: The Mandalorian & Grogu Panel – A theatrical look ahead at The Mandalorian & Grogu and what fans should expect from their next big adventure. Hasbro & Collectibles Deep Dive – Exclusive looks at Black Series, Vintage Collection, and surprise reveals straight from the Hasbro team. Manga & Publishing Panels – Discussions on Star Wars manga past, present, and future with key creators and authors. Star Wars: Visions & Anime Pavilion – Screenings, Q&As, and showcases of anime contributions and Visions content — all with a focus on Japanese studios. Telling Stories Across Cultures – A fascinating panel exploring how Japanese art, storytelling, and history have influenced Star Wars lore over nearly 50 years. Lucasfilm Animation's 20th Anniversary – A celebration of two decades of Lucasfilm Animation including Tales of the Underworld sneak peeks and more. Closing Ceremony – A final reflection on the weekend with guest appearances, highlights, and send-off for fans. Art Exhibits & Cultural Fusion One of the standout features of this Celebration was the blending of Star Wars with Japanese artistic traditions: Art Shows & Print Exhibits featured striking pieces that melded classic Star Wars imagery with local aesthetics — from ukiyo-e inspired designs to manga-style interpretations. The Anime & Manga Pavilion celebrated Japanese animation culture and the impact of Star Wars: Visions, alongside specially curated exhibitions highlighting fan and creator art.

We look back on the year in Star Wars from the conclusion of Skeleton Crew, season two of Andor, the finale of The High Republic, and more.
Christmas TV specials were once fleeting holiday miracles. This week on Enjoy Stuff, Jay and Shua rewind the broadcast clock and revisit the animated and live-action holiday classics that defined December for generations.
This week we're all enjoying The Empire Strikes Back - Dave's favourite Star Wars film. Rob's favourite Star Wars film. Not Nath's though, but he does still like it. You could describe Empire as the beginning of Star Wars as a 'franchise' - it's a film brimming with confidence, with characters hitting their stride (Darth Vader is definitely evil now and C3PO is a bit nicer) and with ships and set-pieces that would make excellent toys. Then there's that bit - one of the most famous twists in cinema history, a moment that ignited spoiler culture as we know it. Let's dive in!We'll be watching the original Star Wars trilogy followed by the prequel trilogy, all through December and January. Dates are below!Star Wars: An Intro - 8/12/25Bonus - Star Wars Games - 10/12/25A New Hope - 15/12/25Empire Strikes Back - 22/12/25Mail Bag End 2 - 24/12/25 Hosted on Acast.

Note: This episode originally aired on June 24, 2025. Generation X, those born roughly between 1965 and 1980, has long occupied a unique place in our cultural narrative. These 45-to-60-year-olds are sometimes called the "forgotten" generation— caught between two larger and more-studied generations— Baby Boomers and Millennials. Often described as independent and self-reliant, Gen X has played a pivotal role in bridging two very different worlds: the analog past and the digital present. They came of age during a time of upheaval and transformation, witnessing the end of the Vietnam War, the fallout from the Watergate scandal and the cinematic rise of The Godfather and Star Wars. They grew up with the debut of MTV, the dawn of the internet and the arrival of personal computers and video games in American homes. Many Gen Xers navigated childhood with minimal supervision, earning them the nickname "Latchkey Generation." And nearly a quarter of Gen X adults are sandwiched between raising kids and caregiving older relatives, according to a study from the University of Michigan. Monday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll hear a conversation with former host Jenny Hamel and a panel of Gen-Xers from Northeast Ohio. They'll discuss the issues that matter most to them, from politics and social change to personal milestones like homeownership, aging and financial security. We'll ask how they feel about the lives they've built, what concerns they carry into the future and how they see their place in the world. Guests:- Dan Bruce, Faculty, Cleveland State University- Emilia Lombardi, Ph.D., Former Professor, Baldwin Wallace University- Lora Gay, Federal Employee, Cleveland Field Office- Lee Chilcote, Executive Director and Housing Program Manager, FutureHeights
She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. — Revelation 12:2 What is the real impact of Christmas?For many of us in the Western world, the story of Christmas has a familiar cast of characters: Joseph and Mary, the shepherds, angels, the wise men, some sheep and cows to complete the manger scene—and, of course, Jesus. Front-yard displays in our neighborhoods might also include Santa, some elves, a few reindeer, and even some Star Wars characters.But the Bible shows that Christmas has a much greater and more serious significance. Christ's coming into our world spells the beginning of the end for Satan's power on earth. The devil wants to do all he can to destroy Christ's coming, or at least to distract our attention from it, because he knows that Jesus has come to break the power of sin and death.If it sometimes seems like a battle to remember Christmas and to focus on Christ as the center of it, we should not be surprised. Our celebration each year has cosmic significance—even eternal significance—and the devil “prowls around like a roaring lion” looking to undermine our joy that Christ has come (see 1 Peter 5:8). But we also remember God's provision in the face of danger. Just as God protected the baby Jesus from human and superhuman enemies, so God will provide for us. Mighty God, sometimes we must fight to remember what you have done for us. Protect us and guard our hearts and minds so that we may find joy and eternal security in Christ's coming. For Jesus' sake, Amen.
Welcome to Databank Brawl Rewind! Databank Brawl was a series that ran on ForceCenter from 2016 to 2020, and it remains one of our more beloved shows. Though Databank Brawl is on hiatus, we wanted to celebrate it along with longtime listeners of the podcast and reintroduce it to the ForceCenter listeners who began listening to the podcast after the end of the show's run. Though all of the episodes remain on our podcast feed, it can be daunting to scroll back and find them, so we're launching Databank Rewind. Here's your chance to go back to those episodes week by week and laugh with us at old jokes, memorable moments, unforgettable guests, and, yeah, old microphones, recordings, and perhaps some Star Wars predictions that came true alongside many that most certainly did not. Databank Brawl -- where Star Wars characters are plucked from the entries of the StarWars.com databank and forced to fight it out in an off-the-cuff podcast moderated by Joseph Scrimshaw. It's time to fight...From the minds of Ken Napzok (comedian, host of The Napzok Files), Joseph Scrimshaw (comedian, writer, director of Dead Media), and Jennifer Landa (actress, YouTuber, crafter, contributor on StarWars.com) comes the ForceCenter Podcast Feed. Here you will find a series of shows exploring, discussing, and celebrating everything about Star Wars. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts.
