You can read his review of it here on his Star Wars Kidscast website. We're looking forward to getting our hands on this book soon. He’s also reading the new Ahsoka novel, which makes me jealous. It’s not specifically Star Warsy, but we were recently interviewed by Kate from Nerd of Paradise for a podcast episode about podcasting.

And of course, we react to and analyze the new Rogue One trailer. You’ve already seen it, but watch it again! We didn’t talk about the international trailer in this show because it hadn’t come out at the time of recording. But if you’re like me, you may have noticed that Jyn’s “May the Force be with us,” in that international trailer is different from the same line (same scene, same shot) in the Celebration sizzle reel. I made a handy video for comparison: https://youtu.be/RO4uBJealTo CANON NEWS [1:07:50] Jabba’s Rancor has a name! And it’s adorable. JOKE [1:10:32] Three jokes this episode from Chris from Star Wars Kidscast. Here are the set-ups, you’ll have to listen for the punch lines. Who is Darth Maul's little brother?

In episode 42 ofChildren of the Force we discuss Celebration Europe news, how it's virtually impossible to have an original Star Wars thought (google it if you don't believe me), and all sorts of news, jokes and a quiz. Join us, and together we will catch 'em all as father and son and daughter and listener.... As always, check out our website for our show guides, which come along with photos and links and videos and all sorts of great stuff you aren't going to find in these show notes: https://childrenoftheforce.com/2016/07/13/episode-42-pre-celebration-postulations/ DEDICATION [0:00] This episode of Children of the Force is dedicated to the memory of PhilandoCastile. STAR WARSY STUFF [3:00] Double Points weekend for Battlefront! Liam got a sweet new Darth Vader watch. It’s digital! We got a kick out of this Floppotron video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oym7B7YidKs And … we started catching Pokemon. It’s ridiculous. NEWS [7:15] A three-minute Rogue One trailer is coming out this Friday … probably. Celebration is quickly approaching. The wave of news is going to crash this weekend and it’s going to be hard to stay upright. But we’ll do our best. Are we going to get a name for Episode VIII? Anna thinks so. Our friend BB-K8 is live-blogging her experience overseas. At the time of recording, she hadn’t made it to Skellig Michael yet. But the next day, she made it there! So happy for her. Check out all the awesomeness of her trip over at Blabba the Hutt: http://blabbathehutt.net/other/live-blog-bb-k8-heads-celebration-europe/ Thankfully for all of us who can’t make it to Celebration, they’re going to be live-streaming it again! The Star Wars Show Live will show us as much of celebration as they can. I’m really looking forward to the Running of the Willrow Hoods! Jedi Bibliothek posted some images from an upcoming book that gave us three really great images. His post can be found here: https://jedi-bibliothek.de/blog/2016/07/vorschau-und-infos-zum-neuen-galactic-atlas/ Aftermath: Life Debt is out! Here’s the excerpt we talked about: http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/books/2016/07/08/maz-kanata-star-wars-aftermath-life-debt-exclusive-excerpt/86839668/ We get a great pre-Celebration email from our Star Wars Celebration UK Correspondent, Nick from London. Carrie Fischer, Ray Park, Episode VIII, Benicio del Toro, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, a post-Episode IX trilogy, and ... is Mace Windu alive? My answer: #snokeismacewindu CANON NEWS [26:05] Of all the crashed Star Destroyers on Jakku, we know the names of two of them. The Ravager and theInflictor. We discuss the known history of these two ships. JOKE [29:30] Two jokes today from Chris from Star Wars Kidscast. Thanks, Chris! What starfighter stings the most? What starfighter is the most dressed up? STUMP THE LUMP! [33:10] This week, the kids show me a trading card and have me guess the name of the person on that card.

It's episode #37 of Children of the Force! Join us, and together we will rule the galaxy as father and son and daughter and listener.... As always, check out the show guide on our website where we have photos and links to go along with this episode: https://childrenoftheforce.com/2016/05/22/episode-37-to-infinity-and/. Get over there! STAR WARSY STUFF [2:05] We’ve been listening to Jabba Flow quite a bit. I’ve even inserted it into my TFA soundtrack right between “The Rathtars” and “Finn’s Confession.” Not Star Warsy, but we’ve been slowly watching the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. The kids dig it. NEWS [7:10] Alden Ehrenreich is reported to be the next Han Solo! The kids are a little worried, and really, who isn’t? The Darth Vader comic is ending with issue #25 in August. I give that a big shoulder shrug and hope it means another comic will be cancelled soon, horrible as that sounds. Disney infinity is also ending. Again, not a big deal to us, even though we have Infinity. One word reason for that: Battlefront. And rest assured, we'll talk about the news that Battlefront is getting a sequel in the next episode. There was just too much stuff to talk about this time around. The kids have no idea what Freemakers means. I rectify that. CANON NEWS [26:40] The canon news comes from the book Bloodline and contains minor spoilers for the book. So I’m not going to write about it here. JOKE(s) [35:05] Jokes this week are from twoof Liam’s classmates and, you guess it, Chris from Star Wars Kidscast! -What did BB-8 say to R2-D2 on Valentine’s Day? -Which Star Wars character loves to shop? -Where to Kanjiklub like to surf and swim? -What is Kanjiklub’s favorite fruit flavor? REVIEW [38:20] This week we review theC-3PO comic … finally. We also discuss that fact that this Lego short picks up where the 3PO comic leaves off. Which is sort of weird and makes me think there’s some … canonosity? …to the Lego stuff. Q&A COUNCIL [47:55] The kids’ classmates knock the Q&ACouncil out of the park this week! -What, in your opinion, is the mostdevastating moment in all seven Star Wars movies? -What do you think Episode VIII and Episode IX will be named? -If you could make any Star Wars movie, what would the name be and what would it be about? Also, Chris from Star Wars Kidscast answers our question from a couple episodes ago about what weird thing we want to see in Episode VIII! SHOUTOUTS [1:05:35] Shout-out to 501stCentral Garrison member TK-11468, Mr. Jesse Edberg. Shout-out to comic artist Michael Walsh, who I also ran into at my brother’swedding. Shout-out to The Younglings Podcast, which is back for its second season! Check them out over at www.theyounglingspodcast.com OUTRO [1:10:00] Thanksfor listening!

In episode 33 of Children of the Force we discuss that Rogue One teaser. Liam has an obsession with vibroblades. And we talk about music. And a whole bunch more. As always, be sure to check out our show guide for more links and images that go along with this episode: https://childrenoftheforce.com/2016/04/13/episode-33-rogue-one-with-vibroblades/. We put up a ton of screenshots from the Rogue One trailer this time around. Oh, and that great photo of Liam as a Sith. STAR WARSY STUFF [4:10] We’ve been watching The Force Awakens and The Clone Wars, naturally. We continue our read-through of The Marysue’s Resistance, Caring and “Mask”ulinity: The Feminist Message of the Dude’s in the Force Awakens by Kate Bennion. This week, we’re talking about old Han and how he’s so much better than young Han. NEWS [17:00] We got our first Rogue One trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wji-BZ0oCwg So we talk about that for quite some time. The kids are waaaay more excited for it now than they were before this thing came out. And so am I. Also in the news, an Ahsoka novel is coming, and there’s an Aftermath: Life Debt excerpt over at Entertainment Weekly. CANON NEWS [53:15] Our canon news this time around comes from Aftermath by Chuck Wendig. Did you know that after the Emperor was killed on the second Death Star, the Empire continued to insist he was still alive? They even went so far as to put a decoy in front of the cameras in order to convince the galaxy. JOKE [55:35] We have four jokes today, all from Chris from Star Wars Kidscast! Who's the richest man in the First Order? Who is the tallest man in the First Order? Who is the biggest hockey fan in the First Order? Who is the grossest man in the First Order? Q&A COUNCIL [57:10] Our question this episode comes from listener Asher who sent us a voicemail asking what our favorite Star Wars musical theme is. It’s a tough question and I think our answers change quite often. What is your favorite Star Wars musical theme? Why don’t you send us a voicemail over at speakpipe (www.speakpipe.com/childrenoftheforce) and let us know. We’d love to play your answer on our next episode. STUMP THE LUMP! [1:00:30] The kids ask me the name of that droid in Maz Kanata’s castle who alerts the Resistance to the presence of BB-8. I get it half right.

If so, who do you think it will be?--Will the Millennium Falcon survive TFA?--Will we see a new color of lightsaber in TFA?--Which Jedi will make a ghostly appearance in TFA?--Which planet does Luke live on now?--Is Kylo Ren Han and Leia's kid?--Are Rey and Kylo actually Jaina and Jacen Solo?--Are there Jedi in hiding?--How are we going to keep our mouths shut after seeing the TFA in order to not spoil friends and family?--Will there be a Yoda-like character in TFA?--What's Luke been up to since Return of the Jedi?--What, other than a hand/arm could be removed by a lightsaber in TFA?But there's so much more going on in this episode besides questions and answers.
