Welcome back, friends. It's Sarah's birth month, so she got to choose our topic: BOOKS! It's a good one! Question 1: Name 3 books throughout your life that have shaped who you are today?    Birthday Sarah starts us off.   SARAH'S FIRST BOOK: Grimm's Fairy Tales, the really old, darker, less happily-ever-after versions of so many stories we know and love. Did we say darker? How about WAY darker? Like, Snow White has a lot of hearts being cut out of animals. Some stories have people gouging out eyes.    Sarah regales us with a retelling of a family favorite: “Little One Eye, Little Two Eyes, Little Three Eyes,” a classic Cinderella-type story, where “Cinderella” is named for how many eyes she has (spoiler: It's two). Her stepmother and stepsisters have either fewer or more eyes than that, and they treat Little Two Eyes really badly. A wise woman tries to help out and somehow makes it worse. (You're gonna need this palate cleanser.) But then along comes a knight to make it all better. And then Sarah hits us with the coolest part of this story: Sarah might be a Grimm on her mom's side!   BRYN'S FIRST BOOK: Little House in the Big Woods, by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The first book in a 9-book series of the author's experiences growing up as a little girl in the “big woods” of Wisconsin in 1871. Bryn read it as a child, and has come back to it throughout her life. She has a favorite memory of her mother reading it to her and her brother by firelight one night during a power outage.    Favorite chapters: Christmas, the Sugar Snow, Dance at Grandpa's. Favorite thing about the book: the writing, thanks in large part to Wilder's daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, who made the books into what they became: New Yorker article from August 2009. Resource: Racism and Cultural insensitivity in the Little House books Excellent article by Liz Fields in the American Masters section of PBS.org: Laura Ingalls Wilder: Prairie to Page, What should be done about racist depictions in the “Little House” books?    SARAH'S SECOND BOOK: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. An 1813  novel that follows Elizabeth Bennett and her sister Jane, who are of marriageable age, and must navigate suitors, social engagements, family and societal pressures. The novel delves into manners and etiquette of English society, the importance of marrying for love rather than money or social prestige, and overall has such delightful depictions of characters that captured Sarah's teenage imagination.    P&P Watch List: Take your pick Or go straight to Sarah's fave, the BBC's excellent 1995 6-part miniseries starring Colin Firth in his breakout role, and Jennifer Ehle. Bonus reading: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Bonus Watching: Bridget Jones' Diary   BRYN'S SECOND BOOK: The Passion, by Jeannette Winterson, a fairy tale set in an historical place and time. It's the fantastical, magical, often dark story of Henri (a French soldier and Napoleon's chef during the Napoleonic Wars) and Villanelle, the heart-broken red-haired daughter of a Venetian boatman, who has webbed feet and is a free thinker who lives in the moment.   What's a villanelle? The book started to mirror the poetic form in some ways, like unlocking a secret This was Bryn's first introduction to gender fluidity    SARAH'S THIRD BOOK: Heir to the Empire, by Timothy Zahn. After seeing the original Star Wars trilogy for the first time in 1991, Sarah this newly published first book of the Thrawn trilogy at her local library and FREAKED out. It's set 5 years after Return of the Jedi and features Leia and Han as a married couple, starting a family (twins are coming!), working for the Republic and Luke is planning a Jedi Training Academy, while what's left of the Imperials are slowly amassing under Grand Admiral Thrawn. He uses his knowledge of Leia, Luke and the leaders of the New Republic against them in an epic struggle for power.   A book that continued the story of a movie blew Sarah's mind. It unlocked her imagination in a new way. And her knowledge of all those stories and love of those books has connected her with many Star Wars friends with the rise of social media.  Check out Sarah's recap of her chat with the author himself, Timothy Zahn, at a party at Star Wars Celebration Orlando on Skywalking Through Neverland episode 165!     BRYN'S THIRD BOOK: Still Life with Woodpecker, by Tom Robbins, in which an exiled princess and a libertarian anarchist, who are both redheads, meet and sort of fall in love. Bryn didn't want to choose this book as her third pick, but she did anyway because of her husband's wisdom.   Bryn read it while temping at offices in Orange County (she also read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams during that time, but didn't love it.) Felt sort of dangerous and bold and funny and true at the time to naive 21-year-old Bryn WISDOM FROM BRYN'S HUSBAND, ELON:  Books or art or music sometimes show you something you've never seen or known or understood before, and they allow you to imagine something that's possible that you hadn't ever imagined before You don't know how a book is impacting you while you're reading it Bryn's learning from this: This book is one of those for me. It's OK to move on from a book that affected you deeply. Extra homework: Ralph Nader Bryn cheated and included an HONORABLE MENTION book: The Moosewood Cookbook, by Mollie Katsen   Question 2: What we want to learn about/deep dive?   Sarah asked, “How did the printing press change history?”   Real talk: Johannes Gutenberg was NOT the inventor of the printing press! 1st-9th century in China with woodblock printing Metal type printing in Korea began in the 1300s and the first book printed this way is “Anthology of Great Buddhist Priests' Zen Teachings” in 1377. One of these printings is preserved today in the National Library of France.  But he did make some improvements Moveable Type changed everything. Check out this story and this one.   Global news network created thanks to quicker, cheaper printing that was accessible to middle class New information technology adopted by previously silenced voices, those willing to take risks  Revolution! Martin Luther becomes the first religious leader to use printing to his advantage.He's the world's first best-selling author! 1518-1525 his writings accounted for ⅓ of all books sold in Germany.  Scientific Revolution: With printed formulas and mathematical tables in hand, scientists could trust the fidelity of existing data and devote more energy to breaking new ground.   Bryn looked a little into the future (and the present) of books, especially print books   After watching the documentary,  The Booksellers, a film about the rare book business, but also about the future of books, Bryn did a small amount of research to look into the state of print books. When e-book readers first became viable, she remembered hearing the media wonder if paper books were dead. Spoiler: They're not! Book statistics: U.S. book industry statistics and facts Print book sales figures have improved over the last five years and unit sales now amount to over 650 million per year. Print also remains the most popular book format among U.S. consumers, with more than 65 percent of adults having read a print book in the last twelve months. Publishers Weekly: Print Book Sales Rose 8.2% in 2020 E-books statistics Audiobooks: 2019 more than $1 Billion in audiobook sales   Question 3: What are you excited about regarding books?   Sarah is all about audiobooks!    Whispersync She also put a call out for Star Trek or Marvel books suggestions.  And hipped us to the fantastic International Printing Museum    Wayward English major Bryn is excited to become a reader of books again. She might start with Loki, Where Mischief Lies, by Mackenzi Lee, thanks to Sarah's recommendation.   Final Thoughts   Sarah brings us home: When creating our show notes, both Bryn and I were writing so much more about the books that shaped us, rather than the history of books. When we were discussing our focus for this episode, Bryn texted something profound: “Books are so personal.”   So I think that is the perfect way to think of it. Any other two people in the world could have a completely different discussion than we did. So we want to know: what are your top 1-3 books that have shaped you? Please write us and we will share in our NEW segment, Totally Talk To Us.   Thanks to those of you who have written to us, either on Instagram or the Skywalking Through Neverland Facebook Group, with your feedback on our first two episodes: @iamstarwarstime, Peter Heitman and Cadien Clark.

When we were discussing our focus for this episode, Bryn texted something profound: “Books are so personal.”   So I think that is the perfect way to think of it. Any other two people in the world could have a completely different discussion than we did. So we want to know: what are your top 1-3 books that have shaped you? Please write us and we will share in our NEW segment, Totally Talk To Us.   Thanks to those of you who have written to us, either on Instagram or the Skywalking Through Neverland Facebook Group, with your feedback on our first two episodes: @iamstarwarstime, Peter Heitman and Cadien Clark.

Jim Swearingen, concept designer at Kenner, is making his podcast debut! Jim worked on Star Wars toys at Kenner as the lead concept designer from 1976-1979. His career in toys took him on a journey through not only Star Wars, but Strawberry Shortcake and Play-Doh. He might even reveal the secret ingredient that makes Play-Doh work! Richard's mother owes Jim a great debt of gratitude, since his Star Wars toys kept him quiet for hours on end when Richard was a kid.

Comenzamos la segunda parte de nuestro especial 40 aniversario de SW con nuestros Maestros Jon Ander Mata y Paco Villa, que hablarán de las adaptaciones de la película a oros medios, empezando por la novela. Sus diferencias con la película, escenas eliminadas, cosas que la novela (firmada por George Lucas pero escrita por Alan Dean Foster) añade y la película omite y las distintas versiones de la novela que pueden encontrarse en su ediciones españolas. Seguidamente, Jon y Villa pasarán a hablar de las distintas adaptaciones del cómic. Desde los números de la primera época Marvel hasta la Edición Especial 20 aniversario de 1997, pasando por la adaptación al estilo manga japonés y las recientes ediciones publicadas por Panini. Luego pasaremos a hablar de las adaptaciones de Star Wars Una Nueva Esperanza en el mundo del videojuego con la incorporación de Benjamín Bruña a la charla de Jon Ander y Paco Villa. Desde el clásico Star Wars Arcade hasta el LEGO Star Wars pasando por el Super Star Wars y otros títulos basados en la primera película de la saga, así como otras versiones curiosas que nunca llegaron a salir de Japón. Continuando con nuestros tres tertulianos Jedi, después pasarán a hablar de los cambios en las distintas ediciones de la película: desde la original en VHS hasta la versión definitiva en Blu-Ray pasando por su reestreno en cines en 1997 en la Edición Especial de La Guerra de las Galaxias. Llegamos a nuestro bloque de merchandising. Con nuestros maestros del coleccionismo: Jose María Arosa, Benjamín Bruña y Belén Mambrilla, nos hablarán de los objetos coleccionables más destacados que se generaron a raíz de la película. Todo un viaje al pasado, haciendo auténtica arqueología de Star Wars que ningún fan debe perderse. Para finalizar, daremos a conocer los nombres del sorteo del libro PBP/Made In Spain de nuestro amigo Javier Ruilopez así como de la novela El Ojo de la Mente (con la inestimable colaboración de Planeta Cómic). Gracias a todos los que habéis participado. A los que la Fuerza no os ha acompañado, a continuación tenéis otra oportunidad. La Fosa del Rancor quiere celebrar el 40 aniversario de Star Wars sorteando varios regalos para los Real Fans de la saga: 1) Un libro de “La Creación de la Trilogía Original” de Francisco Javier Martínez García. 2) Una figura de Obi-Wan Kenobi 40 aniversario. 3) Una figura Star Tods directamente traída del Star Wars Celebration Orlando. 4) Una trilogía original Edición Limitada, con 2 discos que contienen la versión en DVD de 2004 y la versión sin alterar de cada película. Algunos posiblemente dirán “¡LOS QUIERO PARA AYER! ¿Qué tengo que hacer?”. Puedes participar en el sorteo simplemente dejándonos un comentario en nuestro blog, en el post de este mismo podcast, comentando lo que queráis: vuestra opinión de Una Nueva Esperanza, vuestra escena favorita, vuestra edición preferida, la banda sonora, el rodaje, coleccionismo… lo que queráis. Mucha suerte a todos los participantes. Aunque no era nuestra intención, la extensión de este programa se nos ha ido a las 8 horas (si bien es cierto que esta película se merece dedicarle todo ese tiempo y más), por lo que nos hemos visto obligados a dividirlo en dos partes para que la calidad del audio no se resienta. Lo hemos hecho con mucho sentimiento y con mucho cariño tratando de rendir homenaje a la película que lo inició todo y que influyó (y continúa haciéndolo) notablemente en nuestras vidas. Con nuestros héroes de la rebelión: Fernando Martínez, Francisco Cantó “Pacoto” (de tapadillo a los mandos del sonido), Jose María Arosa, Benjamin Bruña (¡¡Ay mi madre El Bicho!!), Jon Ander Mata “la metralleta del blog”, Angel Rodríguez “El Angedor 007”, con Josemi y Paco VIlla en la cabina del Halcón Milenario. Con la colaboración estelar de Francisco Javier Martínez García y Alex Pérez. Con todo nuestro agradecimiento a los Maestros Camilo García, Maria Luia Solà y Salvador Vidal.

Volvemos de nuevo con un análisis más extendido del tráiler de Los Últimos Jedi. Iremos desgranando el tráiler escena por escena con nuestras elucubraciones sobre lo que podremos ver en la película y las posibles situaciones de las que deriva cada escena que nos han mostrado, basándonos un poco en toda la rumorología que ha ido surgiendo durante estos días y siempre bajo nuestro conocido filtro de humor y cachondeo. En el segundo bloque hablaremos de la experiencia del Rancor Squadron en la Star Wars Celebration. Las anécdotas del viaje, de los paneles (destacando los dedicados al 40 Aniversario de Star Wars, The Last Jedi, Rebels, Battlefront II y por supuesto la charla que dio nuestro compañero José María Arosa en su propio panel dedicado al coleccionismo) además de nuestros encuentros con gente relacionada directamente con la saga. La tercera parte del programa está dedicada al viaje al cuartel general de Star Wars, donde se fabrican los sueños: la Fosa visita la Lucasfilm. Jose María Arosa, Javier Ruilopez y Angel Rodríguez "el Angedor", llevan al Rancor hasta el mismísimo Star Wars Show. Después nos hablarán de su paso por el Rancho Obi-Wan, el mayor lugar de coleccionismo del mundo con un guía de auténtico lujo: Stephen J. Sansweet, el mayor coleccionista de Star Wars y autor de varios libros basados en la saga entre ellos la famosa Enciclopedia Galáctica. También, como no podía faltar haremos el sorteo de la foto firmada por nuestro amigo stormtrooper David M. Santana, dedicada a los oyentes de La Fosa del Rancor.

In this episode we look at 1978's Star Wars #13: 'DAY OF THE DRAGON LORDS!'. Is this a “filler episode”? Why is Chewbacca about to kill Luke Skywalker?? Randy Martinez gives us an update on his Star Wars Celebration Orlando official Art Show exclusive art. Richard, Sarah and Star Wars artist Randy Martinez dive into this classic Marvel Star Wars comic. Title: "DAY OF THE DRAGON LORDS!" Release Date: April 11, 1978 Writer: Archie Goodwin Consulting Editor: Jim Shooter Penciller: Carmine Infantino, Terry Austin Cover Art: John Byrne Synopsis: Luke Skywalker has been forced to join Governor Quarg's group in their battle against the Dragon Lords. Meanwhile aboard Crimson Jack's space cruiser, Han Solo is trying to talk his way out of trouble when Jack realizes that they have been duped into coming to Drexel. But Quarg's jamming equipment on the planet's surface causes a disruption on the space cruiser, which is enough of a diversion to allow Solo, Chewbacca, and Princess Leia Organa to escape in the Millennium Falcon to the surface below. The Falcon splashes onto the water covered surface of Drexel, right in the middle of an epic battle between Quarg's men and the Dragon Lords with Luke Skywalker caught right in the middle. Join us as we review the story and get an artistic analysis from Randy Martinez. Learn more about Comic Book Legend and artist John Byrne. We then go over our favorite panel, favorite line and most un-Star Wars moment from this issue. We asked for your opinions on the cover art and you came through with some great feedback.   Have fun with us and may the classic comics be with you...

Matt Busch and Lin Zy have both been chosen to be official Star Wars Celebration Art Show Artists! While it's always fun talking with another married couple, it's especially exciting to talk to them both about their SWCO Art Show pieces, both of which spoke to Richard and Sarah in different ways. Lin Zy has a beautiful Japanese-inspired Ahsoka piece.    Matt Busch did a celebration of collectibles that looks like he went into Richard's bedroom as a kid growing up, and put it all on a massive painting.

On March 25th, Star Wars Rebels season 3 aired its finale “Zero Hour”. We invited Spencer Brinkerhoff III (StudiosB3) to join in our discussion of the episode, plus season 3 highlights and what we hope to see in season 4. This comprehensive look includes the climactic battle between old rivals, the return of many familiar faces, the center of the Force in Bendu... and Thrawn. If you want to see a video of our conversation, head to Spencer's YouTube! It's been 3 months since the passing of Carrie Fisher and it still doesn't seem real. Last Saturday, March 25, the family hosted a Public Memorial in honor of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles. LaVonne Dominguez, friend of the show and member of LiningUp.net, was able to go and pay tribute to our beloved icons. She tells us all about the event.

Lucasfilm screened "Twin Suns" and the Season 3 Finale of STAR WARS REBELS for a select few, including Skywalkers Donald Wicks (Rebel Legion) and Joey Pittman (Disney Universe Podcast). They join in a discussion of Twin Suns;, share their Lucasfilm experience and also share audio from the Q&A between Sam Witwer (Maul) and Dave Filoni (Overseer of Star Wars Everything). We will be sharing more of that Q&A next week, as some of it includes discussion on the Season Finale. Also joining us is Tyler Westhause (Star Wars Podcast Alliance) to talk “Twin Suns” and his favorite Star Wars character: MAUL. I don't know if fans have ever been more split on a Star Wars Rebels episode. Richard and Sarah certainly were. We read several comments from Skywalkers, too. This is a full-on debate! Also on this episode: Star Wars Celebration Orlando Podcast Stage! STN has been selected as one of the podcasts who will take the stage. Join us Saturday, 4/15 10:30-11:30 AM!

Disney's live-action BEAUTY AND THE BEAST arrives in theaters on March 17th, and we have a treat for you - interviews with the entire cast, director and composer direct from the March 5th Los Angeles Press Junket! Emma Watson is delightful as she eloquently speaks on the character of Belle. Luke Evans (Gaston) and Josh Gad (LeFou) absolutely steal the show with their wit and song. Then Director Bill Condon and Composer Alan Menken teach us about storytelling and song-writing as they describe how they adapted this 300-year old story for live-action. There are four new songs in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST - we go through each to prime you for the movie. Le Fou as played by Josh Gad is the first overtly gay character in a Disney film, tune in to hear our thoughts on that. Emma Watson absolutely brings us to tears. Tune in to hear it all, including our thoughts on this film. If you'd rather read some of this, head over to my post on Adventures By Daddy. On March 8th, we met Michael Giacchino!!!! Ben Acker and Ben Blacker put on a Book Launch “Join The Resistance” Variety Show at the Largo Theater in Los Angeles to celebrate the launch of the new middle grade Star Wars book: “Star Wars: Join The Resistance”. Skywalkers Brian Sims and James Floyd joined us and we had an amazing time. The Variety Show had various acts headlined by various celebrities, including Weird Al Yankovic, Doug Benson (Doug Loves Movies), Matt Gourley (Superego; I Was There Too), Ahmed Best (Jar Jar Binks), Busy Philipps (Freaks & Geeks), Rogue One composer Michael Giacchino. Michael Giacchino may also have given Sarah a birthday message, thanks to Richard Woloski being a fantastic husband!!

Tangled Before Ever After, the new Disney Channel Movie, premieres March 10th - on Sarah's birthday! We prepare you for the movie and Tangled: The Series by bringing you to a Q&A with the series' Supervising Director Chris Sonnenburg and Supervising Producer Ben Balistreri. We attended this screening and Q & A on Monday, March 6th and have some GREAT stories to share as well as Behind the Scenes insight into Tangled The Series. Make sure to @followpascal on Instagram! Look closely, you just might see us ;) Dale Wentland (Network 1901) has a new podcast series, Discovering Star Wars. We find it fascinating that a 33-year-old has NOT seen Star Wars. Dale showed it to him in chronological order starting with Episode 1, and then recorded each podcast episode after each film. It's fascinating to hear how perspectives change by removing nostalgia.

Imagine trekking to Tatooine - visiting those same sand dunes used for Jabba's Sail Barge and Sarlacc Battle in Return Of The Jedi. Then hunkering down under the stars that evening to watch Return Of The Jedi surrounded by those same dunes. Would you say you're in Star Wars heaven? Well, we thought so!

Teresa Delgado (Fangirls Going Rogue / Star Wars Bookworms / Disney Vault Talk) helps us delve into the similarities and differences of wand-lore vs. lightsaber kyber crystals, the origin story of the Darksaber vs. the Elder Wand, and so much more.

Photos of his entire collection here. The Star Wars Half Marathon at Disneyland (1/13-1/15/17) was good for getting together with Skywalkers, but bad for our muscles!
