THE LIGHTSABER LOUNGE: Rebellious Conversations about the Star Wars Universe.
Disney is making significant changes to the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge theme park. In this episode of The Lightsaber Lounge, we break down what's changing in Batuu, why Disney may be shifting course, and whether this marks a broader pivot in Star Wars storytelling. Is the tightly locked timeline era finally loosening? Are we heading toward more flexible, character-driven experiences? And what does this mean for the future of Star Wars in the parks?

Or at least, as CO-head of Lucasfilm alongside Lynwen Brennan in a long-awaited, and often expected official changing of the guard in the Star Wars Galaxy. After 14 years as head of LFL, Kennedy is stepping down to return to her true love, producing films. She's got some great ones in her past career dating back to the 1980s and the crew of the Drunken Gungan is your host to discuss her greatest hits, what we hope and expect from the Filoniverse and what this means for the legacy of Lucasfilm going forward. Also in this episode the guys discuss a newly announced digital Star Wars Card Game, rumors of Tom Cruise on the set of Star Wars: Starfighter and ...

In the 284th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are once againg putting on their CEO hats, now turning their new found (if only imaginary) powers to Disney World West... that of course being Disneyland! And to do so, they invite in (for their fourth appearance) Friends of the Show and the hosts of the popular Skywalking Through Neverland podcast, Rich & Sarah! First, their take on both Josh D'Amaro becoming the new Head Cheese for Disney, and then their thoughts on Disneyland's Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. Then... what happens if Josh calls us all up and tells us that we are the new CEOs of Disneyland Resort? We can't plunk down a new land or a big ride in the middle of the park, but overall, we can do what we want to make the parks even better! Including ideas from rare characters to updated After Dark parties to a Tiki Room feast to getting rid of the noxious fumes at Autopia. Also, maybe we should get rid of the bottlenecked crowds (mostly made up of teens on their phones) with the new Move Along Cast Members... Make sure to listen to Skywalking Through Neverland every week on all your fave pod places!

Several topics have been circling around recently, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to offer some thoughts about what is going on in several Disney park realms. Anything about Villains Land has people curious as to what is happening. This includes some work being done by The Haunted Mansion. We'll explore the rumors and conjecture on how this land will be laid out. Next we talk about Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. There have been announcements of not only new additions, timelines, and offerings being added not to Disney's Hollywood Studios version of this land, but at Disneyland. Finally, speaking of Disneyland have you seen Disneyland Handcrafted? This film done by Leslie Iwerks gives insights to what things looked like when Walt Disney determined he would open a brand new themed park concept in the space of a year of construction. This is a fascinating documentary with some terrific ideas, So join us for Disney Insights on Villains Land, Star Wars Galaxy's Edge and Disneyland Handcrafted. _____________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Six Flags is expanding Grad Nite in 2026, adding Knott's Berry Farm and Carowinds to a program the company has relied on for years. These closed-park events are built around a highly invested audience—graduating students—offering predictable attendance, controlled environments, and a clear value proposition for schools looking for local, cost-effective celebrations. We discuss why this expansion makes sense now, as parks prioritize experiences with reliable demand and lower operational volatility.Meanwhile, Disney is reversing course on one of the boldest creative choices it made when designing Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Starting April 29, Disneyland will bring Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo to Black Spire Outpost—characters that have been deliberately absent since the land opened in 2019 because they didn't fit the sequel trilogy timeline.Taken together, these moves point to a shared strategy: investing more deeply in what already works. Whether it's expanding a proven private-event model or refining the use of an existing flagship land, both companies are choosing to double down on known audiences and assets rather than chase entirely new concepts. In a higher-cost, higher-risk environment, that kind of focus may be one of the most practical paths forward.Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.
Skywalking Through Neverland: A Star Wars / Disney Fan Podcast
We usually avoid covering breaking news to keep our shows evergreen—but holy purrgil, major changes are coming to the Star Wars and Lucasfilm, and we had to dive in. Tricia Barr (Fangirls Going Rogue / Fangirl Blog) and BJ Priester (Fangirl Blog) join us to unpack two huge developments: the evolution of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and the major Lucasfilm leadership restructuring. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland is officially expanding beyond a single timeline, with all changes set to debut April 29th. New storylines on Batuu will span multiple eras—from the Galactic Civil War to the Age of the Resistance—adding Luke, Leia, Han, and Darth Vader into the land. Disney is also rotating new artifacts into Dok-Ondar's and transforming First Order Cargo into Black Spire Surplus. The BEST update according to Sarah? John Williams' legendary scores are finally coming to Galaxy's Edge. Music from the first six films—including the Main Title, the Force Theme, and classic motifs like "Han Solo and the Princess"—will now fill the land. Nostalgia matters, and this addition delivers the emotional Star Wars immersion we've have been craving since the land first opened in 2019. All these changes will fully take effect on April 29. And just one day after this news, another bombshell dropped: Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down as president of Lucasfilm after 14 years, returning to producing, while Dave Filoni takes over as President and Chief Creative Officer alongside Lynwen Brennan as Co-President. Kennedy also addressed long-rumored, stalled film projects in a candid Deadline interview, and we discuss in detail. Lucasfilm is entering a bold new era, both in the parks and on screen. We speculate what's to come. What do you think?? Watch the YouTube version here for the best experience. Listen to the podcast episode here.

Disney kicks off another busy week as Disneyland Handcrafted premieres on Disney+ tomorrow, February 22. The documentary celebrates the craftsmanship and creative vision behind Disneyland, while a special featurette highlights director Leslie Iwerks and her deep Disney roots. At the same time, Star Wars fans have plenty to talk about. Disney dropped a surprise teaser for Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, and the reaction was immediate. The teaser sparked widespread discussion across the fan community, setting the tone for a big week in the Star Wars universe. EPCOT Festival of the Arts Is Officially Open The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is officially underway, and Sam and Greg are both in the middle of the action. EPCOT is filled with art, music, and food studios as the festival comes to life across the park. This year's festival highlights include: The return of Once Upon a Stage inside CommuniCore Hall, featuring Disney on Broadway performances Festival merchandise, including the popular Figment popcorn bucket, now owned by both Sam and Greg Interactive scavenger hunts throughout EPCOT Disney Lorcana Takes Over the Festival One of the biggest surprises of the festival has been the overwhelming popularity of Disney Lorcana. While Sam focused on the artists and live performances, Greg tracked the explosion of Lorcana trading across EPCOT. The Illumineer's Lounge in Morocco has quickly become a central hub for completing cards, trading, and connecting with other fans. Greg breaks down what this surge in Lorcana activity means for Disney Parks and how it could shape future festival experiences. DVC Moonlight Magic and Park Milestones Away from EPCOT, Greg also reviewed DVC Moonlight Magic at Disney's Animal Kingdom. The event delivered exclusive access, low waits, and a noticeably chilly evening. Elsewhere around Walt Disney World, several milestones and updates stood out: The Living Seas celebrates its 40th anniversary Annual Passholders received a new Zootopia-themed magnet Disney announced the Garden Rocks Concert Series lineup Bringing Darth Vader into Galaxy's Edge A long-running fan question continues to surface: how do you bring Darth Vader into Galaxy's Edge without breaking the land's timeline? Disney's answer arrives through storytelling. The new Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge – Echoes of the Empire comic series bridges eras, allowing iconic characters to appear while preserving the land's narrative integrity.

Real Life Ben opens the show by talking about vertigo—both experiencing it firsthand and wondering if Devon might be dealing with it too. He shares that he was diagnosed with a mild case and offers genuinely useful advice: if you're experiencing vertigo, see a doctor, figure out what caused it, and which side it's affecting. In some cases, it can be an easy fix, which is reassuring for something that can feel pretty alarming. Steven checks in with some family time, talking about Perils & Princesses and enjoying it as a group activity. https://perilsandprincesses.com/ Devon, meanwhile, is riding the simple but powerful high of a three-day weekend and sounding very content about it. The conversation shifts into Starfleet Academy, with Ben admitting that the advertising did the show no favors—he didn't think it looked interesting at all. That said, once he actually watched it, he found it better than an average Star Trek episode, with compelling characters and a standout performance from Gina Yashere. There's even a nod to classic Star Trek: The Original Series vibes, including black-and-white alien aesthetics. Verdict: Starfleet Academy is "worth your time to watch." This leads into one of Ben's most sarcastic self-aware rants yet, mockingly embodying the ultra-purist Trek fan: buying a DVD box set 13 years ago apparently grants lifelong authority to demand that all Star Trek content conform exactly to personal specifications—and to loudly complain about shows nobody is forcing him to watch. It's sharp, funny, and painfully recognizable. Steven then takes on a challenge to talk about Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, which quickly detours into Disney's broader design philosophy and how intentional world-building shapes visitor experience. He also mentions re-listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl and enthusiastically reaffirms his recommendation, even as Devon sounds less convinced it's for him anymore. Future or Now Ben brings a genuinely practical tool to the table: Just the Browser https://justthebrowser.com/ The project strips AI features, telemetry reporting, sponsored content, product integrations, and other annoyances out of desktop browsers using hidden enterprise-level settings. The goal is exactly what it says on the tin—just the browser, nothing else. Steven dives into a major neuroscience breakthrough. Researchers have developed a protein that can detect faint chemical signals—specifically glutamate—received by neurons from other brain cells. For the first time, scientists can observe how neurons process incoming information before sending signals onward, revealing a previously invisible layer of brain communication. This could significantly reshape how we study learning, memory, and neurological disease. https://sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/12/251225235950.htm Book Club Next Week's Watch: Likewise, Olive | Omeleto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwEssWpRrxg This Week's Read: Ted Chiang – What's Expected of Us (Nature, July 7, 2005) http://www.concatenation.org/futures/whatsexpected.pdf All three hosts enjoyed the story, but Devon absolutely steals the segment by going on a full, passionate tear about free will versus determinism. It's one of those moments where the conversation locks in, the philosophy gets heavy, and the payoff is incredible.

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!
A big news item dropped yesterday: Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down as president of Lucasfilm. Dave Filoni, long-time storyteller of the Star Wars Galaxy is taking her place. Join me as I share my thoughts.

If you're a leader in game dev who feels stuck, there is a path forward that levels up your leadership and accelerates your team, game, and career.

In this episode, Rich Vogel explains why Western game development isn't in a downturn, it's in a reset. Fresh off fundraising conversations in 2025-2026, Rich breaks down why funding for large-budget games has nearly disappeared, why publishers and VCs are pulling back from North American teams, and how leadership decisions, not creativity, are sinking studios. Rich is a 30-year industry veteran who's founded and led four major studios, including BioWare Austin and Sony Online Entertainment Austin, which have generated over $3B in revenue. As producer on Ultima Online, Star Wars Galaxies, and Star Wars: The Old Republic, he's seen every cycle, and knows exactly why this one is different. We cover: Why investors see Western studios as high-risk How salary inflation and entitlement narratives are reshaping where games get made Why unproven big bets are no longer survivable How small, shippable wins are the new path to scale This episode is a wake-up call for studio heads, producers, and game leaders still playing by outdated rules.

Now that they have ranked all the movies and shows in the Star Wars Galaxy, Dan and Vinny sit down to discuss what's next in a galaxy far, far away. We could be in for some interesting surprises and a whole universe of excitement!
Bright Suns! Throughout this year we have celebrated Disneyland's 70th Anniversary by looking at the nine lands of the park. And as the celebration continues in Anaheim, we continue our celebration here on Disney Insights. Today we look at Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. This is perfect because this land especially references the last three film series in the larger trilogy. This week Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out ten years ago into the movie theaters. So much of that film and the two others that fall after it tie into the Black Spire Outpost of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. We're going to relive the opening of this themed land at Disneyland, talk about the similarities and differences to its twin at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and then share with you my top 7 Easter egg-style references to Star Wars within this land. Join us as we celebrate Star Wars Galaxy's Edge on Disneyland's 70th anniversary. _______________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Whenever Christmas time comes around, and you see lists of the best holiday movies — and even the most underrated ones — you'll almost certainly never find this 80s flick on any of them. It really hasn't managed to embed itself in Christmas pop culture like some other films have, to be sure. And that is a real shame, because while this movie isn't high-class theater, it's considered a favorite Yuletide watch for kids of the 80s and 90s.So meet us at the Orlando Children's Museum with Santa's magic sack as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Laramy Wells and Retro Robby discuss “Ernest Saves Christmas” from 1988 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback podcast!Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:The scene where Ernest visits his friend Vern's house was filmed on Residential Street at Disney's MGM Studios in Hollywood. The house façade gained popularity as a notable feature on the Backstage Studio Tour when the theme park opened in 1989. In 2005, the entire street was demolished to make way for the Lights, Motors, Action! Stunt Show Spectacular. That stunt show was later replaced by Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.Ernest's pickup full of snakes has a sign that reads "Apopka Snakes." Executive producer Joseph Akerman went to high school in Apopka, Florida, a city north of Orlando, where most filming was done.Sources:Wikipedia, IMDBhttps://www.rediscoverthe80s.com/2015/12/14-facts-about-ernest-saves-christmas.htmlhttps://mutantreviewersmovies.com/2020/12/25/justin-does-ernest-saves-christmas-1988/Some sections were composed by ChatGPTWe'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

Here's what a perfect day in Hollywood Studios looks like! Morning: Rope Drop Energy & Star Wars DreamsIf you arrive at rope drop, you'll find excitement buzzing through the crowd. The sun is barely up, but everyone is already strategizing. For many, the first mission of the day is navigating Batuu.I headed straight to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, where the sounds of droids and starships fill the air. There's nothing quite like wandering the market stalls as the land wakes up. I hopped in line for Rise of the Resistance, which—no matter how many times you've ridden—is jaw-droppingly immersive. From the First Order Star Destroyer hangar to the runaway escape pod, it's more than a ride; it's a cinematic moment you get to live.Then it was time for a little friendly competition on Smugglers Run. I'm not saying I was the best pilot the Millennium Falcon has ever seen, but I did manage to avoid crashing into anything major.Late Morning: Toy Story Fun & NostalgiaFrom the rugged outpost of Batuu, I strolled into the colorful world of Toy Story Land. Giant building blocks, oversized toy footprints, and Slinky Dog whizzing by—everything here feels like Saturday morning nostalgia.Slinky Dog Dash is the perfect family coaster: smooth, joyful, fast enough to thrill but still full of charm. Afterward, Toy Story Mania offered a chance to test my aim. I walked away with slightly sore arms and enormous pride at beating my own high score.Lunch: A Break on Sunset BoulevardFor lunch, I wandered to Sunset Boulevard, grabbing a quick bite under the palm trees. Street performers were out, adding a little showbiz sparkle to the day. If you're hungry and in a rush, the snack options here are ideal—plus, there's always the temptation of a Mickey pretzel.Afternoon: Thrills, Shows & A Touch of Disney MagicYou can't visit Hollywood Studios without feeling that mix of excitement and dread as you approach The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The eerie music, the flickering marquees, the feeling that the building is watching you—it's chilling in the best way. The drop sequence? Still one of the most delightfully unpredictable thrills in all of Walt Disney World.Next door, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith delivers a lightning-fast launch that sends you straight into a whirlwind of neon. If you love coasters, this is one of those rides that sticks with you.Needing a breather afterward, I caught a showing of For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration. There's nothing quite like watching adults and kids alike belt out “Let It Go” with absolutely no shame. The humor and improv from the royal historians make this show a must-see.Evening: Pixar Place, Characters & Golden Hour MagicAs the sun dipped lower, I wandered around Pixar Place, where character meet-and-greets and playful photo ops made for perfect golden-hour memories. Hollywood Studios takes on a special glow in the evening—neon lights flicker to life, and the park feels cinematic in a whole new way.Dinner at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo hit the spot: creative dishes with that perfect Galaxy's Edge theming.Night: An Epic FinaleTo end the day, I found a spot for Fantasmic!, the iconic nighttime spectacular. Watching Sorcerer Mickey battle classic Disney villains while fountains, projections, and fireworks dance across the water is the perfect emotional wrap-up to the adventure.As the final burst of fireworks faded, I walked out with tired feet, a happily aching smile, and that warm, glowing feeling Disney seems to conjure so effortlessly.Final ThoughtsA day at Hollywood Studios is more than a park visit—it's stepping into your favorite movies, embracing nostalgia, chasing thrills, and soaking up wonderfully crafted storytelling from morning to night. Whether you're a Star Wars fan, a Pixar lover, a thrill-seeker, or just someone who appreciates Disney magic, Hollywood Studios delivers an unforgettable experience.

Online game design veteran Raph Koster recently posted a new piece about how he thinks about game design, which got us talking about the history of online multiplayer, so then we figured, why not talk about that subject in a (slightly) more comprehensive way on this podcast? So that's what we did this week, dipping into topics like pre-TCP/IP network gaming, the early video game consoles' various half-baked online solutions, how Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies were both way ahead of their time, how much the infrastructure has evolved for facilitating multiplayer -- and how expected it is as a feature these days -- and plenty more.Koster's new piece: https://www.raphkoster.com/2025/11/03/game-design-is-simple-actually/PC Gamer's Everquest history: https://www.pcgamer.com/breaking-the-internet-the-story-of-everquest-the-mmo-that-changed-everything/Dreamcast online functionality and Sega.net history (with links to similar pages for PS2, GameCube etc. at the bottom): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamcast_online_functionality Support the Pod!
