Send us a textThe Marvel Cinematic Universe stands at a crossroads, and Captain America: Brave New World perfectly embodies this uncertain moment. What happens when sidekicks become heroes, and their sidekicks become new sidekicks? How does a franchise maintain momentum after its defining narrative conclusion?Sam Wilson's journey from Falcon to Captain America should feel triumphant, but instead reveals deeper issues within the MCU's current direction. The film attempts to resurrect storylines from The Incredible Hulk (2008), finally acknowledges the celestial from Eternals, and introduces adamantium as a bridge to the X-Men universe—yet these connections feel more like obligation than inspiration.While Anthony Mackie brings charisma and conviction to his role, and the action sequences showcase his unique fighting style effectively, the political thriller elements don't reach the heights established by Winter Soldier. President Thaddeus Ross (now played by Harrison Ford) and the return of The Leader as antagonists create intriguing dynamics, but the stakes never feel as consequential as the film wants us to believe.This episode dives deep into what works and what doesn't in Brave New World, while exploring the broader question of MCU fatigue. Have we reached a point where even the most devoted fans are becoming disenchanted? Is there a path forward that recaptures the magic that made these interconnected stories feel special rather than obligatory?We also compare Marvel's approach to continuity with Star Wars', examining how different creative structures lead to different storytelling outcomes. The MCU's "Marvel Parliament" versus Lucasfilm's Story Group reveals fascinating contrasts in how franchises maintain coherence across multiple projects.Whether you're still fully invested in the MCU or feeling the fatigue, this conversation offers fresh perspectives on where superhero storytelling might go from here. Is it time for Marvel to take a break and recalibrate, or push forward into bold new territory?Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbASupport the show

If you've experienced the healing power of engaging your story—through a Story Workshop, Recovery Week, Narrative Focused Trauma Care® (NFTC) training, or a Story Group in your own context—you may have found yourself wondering: Why does this work feel so deeply transformative? What's actually happening here? In this special episode, we're pulling back the curtain on a groundbreaking, multi-year research project that's beginning to explore those very questions. Dr. Danielle Zurinsky of the Allender Center and Dr. David C. Wang of Fuller Theological Seminary join Dr. Dan Allender and Rachael Clinton Chen to share what they're discovering so far—and why this moment matters. This work is part of a broader initiative we're calling the NFTC Model Research & Publication Project. It's an ambitious, long-term effort to clarify, codify, and formally articulate the core framework of Narrative Focused Trauma Care. Grounded in the decades-long work of Dr. Dan Allender, this project is about more than research—it's about building a foundation that allows this healing model to be recognized, trusted, and shared more widely. In today's conversation, we're letting you in early—before the publications—because we want this process to be rooted in relationship, transparency, and shared vision. Whether you're a practitioner, a past participant, or someone simply curious about the impact of story, you're part of this unfolding journey, too! And if your own healing has been shaped by story engagement with NFTC, this is a chance to be part of something bigger. You can support the continuation of this growing body of research—fueling everything from the team of scholars and writers to expanded training opportunities and broader recognition in therapeutic, academic, and spiritual spaces. You can visit theallendercenter.org/give to contribute at any financial level. We are currently fundraising to support the next phase of this project's continuation. Your contribution will help ensure this work continues—so more people, families, and communities can experience the deep transformation that comes through engaging their stories with courage and care.

Wir haben mal wieder einen Themen-Herbst für euch! Im letzten Jahr stand die Alphabet-Geschwader-Trilogie im Fokus. Deshalb ist dieses Jahr mal Zeit für eine Trilogie, die in den Legends positiv aufgefallen ist: Die Thrawn-Trilogie! In dieser ersten Ausgabe des "Herbst des Imperiums" geht es um Erben des Imperiums und damit den Auftaktroman der Trilogie. Der Krieg ist eigentlich gewonnen, doch ein imperialer Großadmiral hält die Filmfiguren und die Neue Republik weiterhin auf Trab. Zudem steht ein mysteriöser Jedi im Schatten und gefährliche Attentäter trachten nach dem Leben von Rätin Leia Organa-Solo. Genug aufgeladene Bilder also, damit sich Theo, Lukas, Carl Georg und Tobias mal genauer damit befassen können. Während Tobias und Lukas das erste Mal dieses Werk gelesen haben, sind Theo und Carl Georg wahre Urgesteine. Wie unterscheidet sich die eher frische Sicht von Kanon-Fans von der teils nostalgischen der anderen beiden? Wo sehen wir Parallelen? Wo erkennen wir alle noch markante Stärken, aber auch auffällige Schwächen? Wieso nennt man das Ganze überhaupt Thrawn-Trilogie und wie sind Mara, Ysalamiri und Joruuus mit zwanzig "U" überhaupt an einer imaginären - da damals nicht existenten - Story-Group vorbeigekommen? All das in dieser Ausgabe, in der wir hart ins Gericht gehen, aber auch versöhnlich anerkennen, welche große Rolle dieser Roman und die ganze Trilogie für den Literatursektor rund um Star Wars gespielt hat. Zeitmarken spoilerfreier Teil 00:00:00 - Begrüßung 00:02:40 - Die Origin-Story 00:04:50 - Thrawn, der Professionelle 00:08:40 - Der Moment, der uns überzeugte 00:10:10 - Die Macht der Filmfiguren 00:12:50 - Hörspiel-Luxus Spoilerteil 00:16:08 - Warum "Thrawn"-Trilogie? 00:26:12 - Legends-Thrawn vs. Kanon-Thrawn 00:36:37 - Filmfiguren: Risiko und Easy-Mode zugleich 00:42:28 - 90er vs. heute - Anspruch und Inhalt 00:50:19 - Small Galaxy Syndrome? 00:55:23 - Mara: Die lebendige Fanfiction? 01:03:58 - Ysalamiri und der Fanfic(k)-Moment... 01:10:20 - Joruuuus C'baoth 01:18:02 - Pellaeon und sein Erklär-Bär 01:24:22 - Konzepte und Einflüsse 01:33:38 - Talon Karrde und seine Hood 01:39:52 - Was jagt mi da, es is a Noghri 01:46:36 - Immer Ärger mit den Bothanern 01:53:35 - Das ungeplante Finale 02:00:12 - Keine Charakterentwicklung? 02:04:50 - Fazit Blick in die Datenbank Zur Werksübersicht von Erben des Imperiums (Heir to the Empire) von Timothy Zahn Das Werk schien auf Englisch am 1. Mai 1991 bei Bantam Spectre seither gab es viele weitere Ausgaben, die aktuellste in der Essential Legends Collection im Juni 2021. Ein Boxset aller 3 Bücher als Neuauflage erschien im Mai 2022 Auf Deutsch erschien das Werk erstmals im August 1992 als Taschenbuch bei Goldmann. Anlässlich des 20-jährigen Jubiläums übersetzte auch Blanvalet die Jubiläumsausgabe. Diese ist auch die aktuellste Ausgabe des Werkes. Zudem gab es - nur im Deutschen - ein aufwändig produziertes Hörspiel aus dem Jahr 2012 von Imaga. Die Rezensionen Maximilian rezensierte 2013 die Jubiläumsausgabe von Blanvalet. Darin erkennt er die Bedeutung des Werkes für den Star Wars-Literaturbereich an und empfiehlt es besonders als Einstiegslektüre. Er resümiert daher: "Erben des Imperiums – im Original: Heir to the Empire – ist ein sehr beeindruckendes Werk der Star Wars-Saga und eignet sich vielleicht grade deswegen hervorragend als EU-Einsteigerlektüre. Dadurch, dass es der erste Roman im Erweiterten Universum seit 1983 war, sollte dem auch so sein". Den JediCast abonnieren Wir sind auf allen gängigen Podcast-Plattformen vertreten!

I just released Try Not to Die: In the Wild West on Vella. This book, coauthored by John Palisano, will be released on Kindle and paperback in March, but can be read one episode at a time on Vella. Unfortunately only available in the US. Here it is on Vella - https://geni.us/WildWestonVella Glenn Hedden and I are nearly done with Dethfest's main story and should have that up on Vella in a few weeks. Keeping this episode short so I can get back to work. These books aren't going to write themselves.

David Downs joins Purposely to share his story. David is an optimist, driven by purpose who is dedicated to serving others. Nominated for 'New Zealander of the Year' he is the ultimate multi-tasker and over achiever. David is a cancer survivor who overcame the odds to beat a form of blood cancer that had affected his lymphatic system. A terminal prognosis from his doctor had given him only a year to live, however, ‘a series of lucky breaks' gave him access to a drug trial in the USA. The treatment, revolutionary CAR T-cell therapy, saved his life . David has always talked freely about his cancer and wrote a column in a newspaper sharing details of his journey. It was this publicity that helped him to access the life-saving drug trial. He has written a book on his cancer (A Mild Touch of the Cancer - now a documentary film) and he spends many hours supporting and advocating for people with the disease. We look back at the start of his career and how his Irish roots played a fundamental role in shaping his beliefs and values, as well as his career. Humour and performing played a significant role in his household growing up, he starting out as a comedian, then actor and eventually opened his own venue, The Comedy Club in Auckland. David is now CEO of The New Zealand Story, an ambitious government-funded organisation marketing New Zealand to the world. Previously, David was a General Manager at New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) for 10 years, working with the Technology sector to help fast growing tech companies grow internationally. At the beginning of the Covid-19 lockdown, David co-founded sosbusiness.nz - a not-for-profit initiative to help bars, cafes and other small businesses sell vouchers. It quickly became a huge hit and to date has sold over $2 million in vouchers for over 2500 small businesses. All the money goes to the businesses. Based on that experience, he published a book about the innovation that happened during Covid-19 in New Zealand, 'Silver Linings', published by Penguin Random House. David studied at Massey University, the University of Auckland and Stanford University, and regularly presents and gives talks on his cancer journey and on the power of positive thinking and optimism. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mark-longbottom2/message

Since 2012, Lucasfilm has had a Story Group employed to do....something. It has been quite the mystery what the 11 or so people that fall under this banner are in charged of and tasked with, to the point where even Story Group members themselves joke about fan misconceptions of what their job is. So we wanted to have a discussion about it based on what we know, what we think we know, what fans think they do, what they think fans think they do, and why there isn't much clarity on their role in the public eye. We also answer several questions in Will of the Force, like - Will Daisy Ridley ever play Rey again after Episode IX? We also hear from our Patreon General Adam Odle, and feature the best of your tweets in our segment Resistance Transmissions, where you told us what the best lightsaber in canon is! The base is open, join us!

This week is bittersweet because it’s our very last Rebels Report. We’ll be talking about A Fool’s Hope, as well as the final episode of the series, Family Reunion - and Farewell. We discuss Season 4 as a whole, the cavalcade of characters included in these final episodes, as well as the all-important epilogue and try our best not to speculate on what is coming next from the Story Group and Dave Filoni.

Listen to some drunken (or in Noah's case punchdrunk) conversation between host Jacob Patterson and friends after wrapping up Noah's inaugural Immersive Design Summit. IDS 2018 brought together hundreds of creators, producers, and developers from all over the world who work in the quickly emerging world of immersive entertainment. Fields within this genre range from virtual reality to theatre to ASMR, and if any of this stuff interests you, be sure to check out the No Proscenium podcast or ask Jacob for an invite to the Everything Immersive private Facebook group.

We know for a fact that Pablo Hidalgo has hidden clues about future movies in plain sight before - just look at the mention of Crait in the Rogue One Ultimate Visual Guide for proof. What might he be hiding in The Last Jedi Visual Dictionary about Solo: A Star Wars Story and Episode IX? Well, maybe Episode IX is a stretch because we don't know how much, if anything, of the work Colin Trevorrow did is being used by J.J. Abrams and Chris Terrio. (Probably not much, if anything.) But Solo: A Star Wars Story is much more of a known quantity to the Story Group... Punch it! ***I'm listener supported!

Tricia Barr, BJ Priester and Kay from FANgirl Blog discuss changes in directors on Episode IX, Star Wars animation and Leia: Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray. The Star Wars movie news keeps coming, and we delve into it on this month’s episode of Hyperspace Theories. We begin with one of the recent photos from the Untitled Han Solo movie shared on social media by director Ron Howard. Does the image and its caption – “Spicey?” – hint at the appearance of the long-notorious spice mines as well as the legendary Kessel Run in the film? The big developments since our last episode, though, involved Episode IX: Colin Trevorrow is no longer involved in the movie as either writer or director, and J.J. Abrams is returning to Star Wars to direct and co-write the second sequel to The Force Awakens. Tricia, B.J., and Kay discuss our reactions to and analysis of the news, including the official announcements from Lucasfilm as well as the reports in the Hollywood industry trades. While the removal of Trevorrow from the project is a positive change, the sources of the conflict that led to his departure were very much predictable at the time he was hired; the upheaval in the production process at this point, about four months prior to the intended start of principal photography, was preventable if a sounder hire had been made in the first instance. Fortunately, after the box office and fandom success of The Force Awakens Abrams had enough influence and credibility with the Disney brass to insist on pushing back Episode IX’s release date to December 2019, giving him at least six additional months to work on the script. Abrams has essentially the same amount of time to work on Episode IX’s screenplay as for The Force Awakens – but this time with considerably less work needed on the world-building and character arcs compared to kicking off the trilogy. Overall, though, we’re certainly far more optimistic about Episode IX with Abrams at the helm than we were a few weeks ago. We also share areas of concern with Abrams’ leadership of Episode IX. On The Force Awakens, Abrams often worked in seclusion at Bad Robot in Santa Monica, in contrast to Rian Johnson’s work in residence at Lucasfilm while writing and completing The Last Jedi. With the Story Group and other members of the creative brain trust at Lucasfilm having accomplished some great successes in interconnectivity and long-term payoffs over the course of stories released since 2015, it would be a shame if Abrams’ return also meant a recurrence of the lack of communication that led to key creative executives at Lucasfilm being unaware of major storytelling decisions made while finalizing The Force Awakens until the film’s release. Similarly, Abram’s co-writer on The Force Awakens was the esteemed Lawrence Kasdan; his writing partner on Episode IX is Chris Terrio, who won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for Argo but also wrote the screenplays for Batman v Superman and Justice League, which like Rogue One ended up undergoing substantial revision, if not re-envisioning, during reshoots. Finally, while Abrams is certainly a known quantity and trusted creator to Lucasfilm, it is disappointing to see yet again that two middle-aged white men have been handed the keys a Star Wars film – and this time, one that has to provide satisfying, empowering, and worthy conclusions to the Sequel Trilogy character arcs of Rey and Leia. For all the upheaval in the production processes on the Star Wars films over the last few years, though, lots of great Star Wars stories are being told outside the movies. In this month’s episode we discuss the second season of LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, the first eight Force of Destiny animated shorts, and the young-adult novel Leia, Princess of Alderaan by Claudia Gray. We have high praise for each of them, although as longtime Star Wars books fandom participants, each of us was particularly excited to finally see the kind of official young Leia book we’ve always thought the character deserved. As part of the Journey to The Last Jedi publishing program, Gray’s novel also contains some intriguing hints for Episode VIII, including some that are overt and others that left us wondering – and speculating.

In this month’s episode of Hyperspace Theories, Tricia, B.J., and Kay look ahead to the next Star Wars movie and consider how the books have supplemented the previous one. We begin with a brief Spoilers Beware segment sharing our reactions to several items about The Last Jedi in the news recently, including John Boyega showing Finn’s blaster, Oscar Isaac discussing filming a physical interaction with Carrie Fisher, and Rian Johnson’s storytelling tweak to the ending of The Force Awakens. Our meta segment on speculating wisely delves in detail into the Vanity Fair features on The Last Jedi from the magazine’s June issue. We talk about our favorite images from the Annie Liebowitz photo spread, as well as some intriguing nuggets of information revealed in the text of the cover story and supplemental online content. These include Rian Johnson’s approach to the characters and world-building during his writing process, the role of the Story Group in Star Wars storytelling, and Kathleen Kennedy’s latest remarks about the future of General Organa in Episode IX. In the storytelling segment we discuss three books released in connection with Rogue One: Alexander Freed’s novelization of the movie, Beth Revis’ Rebel Rising, and Greg Rucka’s Guardians of the Whills. We emphasize how the books add layers to the characterization and motivations of the key characters in the film, especially Jyn but also Chirrut and Baze, Cassian, and Mon Mothma.   Related Links John Boyega with Finn’s blaster (via Instagram) Oscar Isaac talks about Carrie Fisher with Stephen Colbert (via Club Jade) Rian Johnson’s requested change to the ending of The Force Awakens (via EW) Rian Johnson on Kylo Ren’s scar (via Club Jade) Kay’s Vanity Fair Digest includes links to the cover story, photo gallery, and online content Looking For Leia  Contact Information: Hyperspace Theories: Twitter @HyperspacePod Tricia Barr: Twitter @FANgirlcantina; email Tricia@fangirlblog.com B.J.

This week, it's a total geekout as we welcome Leland Chee to the show. If you're a Star Wars nerd, odds are you know who Leland is. Unofficially known as the Keeper of the Holocron, he's part of the mysterious Lucasfilm Story Group, and it's his job to maintain a cohesive Star Wars canon. Basically, he's the puppet master of what's official and how it all connects. He knows all. we talk to Leland about LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, his career with Lucasfilm pre and post Disney, Expanded Universe versus Legends, his role in the Story Group, fan entitlement, and what it's like to know everything about the upcoming films. But wait! That's not all! After our chat with Leland, we also talk to The Freemaker Adventures executive producers and show runners Bill Motz and Bob Roth.

An interview with Greg Rucka, Finn, Rey, and Poe: Before the Awakening, as well as a look at Shattered Empire, Smuggler’s Run, and a glimpse at the inner workings of the Story Group, all this and more on this week’s episode of The Star Wars Report! Mark had a chance to check out Greg Rucka’s […]

Johnamarie Macias from The Wookiee Gunner joins Tricia Barr, B.J. Priester, and Geek Kay for a wide-ranging discussion on storytelling in Star Wars. We continue our exploration of the individuals influencing the future of Star Wars storytelling with Diana Williams, a member of Lucasfilm’s Story Group. In October, Johna attended “A Conversation With Diana Williams” at the New York Film Festival, in which Williams talked about her upbringing, her path into the entertainment industry, and her perspective on transmedia storytelling and other technological changes altering the ways people can tell stories. At Lucasfilm, Williams is the Story Group’s lead on videogames, including the recently released Star Wars Battlefront, which offers a wide variety of gender and ethnicity combinations for players to use. She is vocal on Twitter about her criticisms of Hollywood for its problems with diversity, inclusion, and representation, and she no doubt speaks her mind within Lucasfilm’s creative team, as well. Thank you to Johna for sharing her report and reactions to Williams’ presentation. For our world-building segment, we discuss Claudia Gray’s novel Lost Stars, released in September as part of the Journey to The Force Awakens. Like the three regular hosts, Johna also is a big fan of the book. We praised Gray’s effectiveness at designing the two cultures on the planet Jelucan, the valley kindred and the second-wavers, to create the personality traits in the lead characters, Ciena Ree and Thane Kyrell, which ultimately motivate the choices they make as the Empire and Rebellion clash over the course of the story. The early season two episodes of Star Wars Rebels are featured in our storytelling segment. Johna is keeping spoiler-free for The Force Awakens, so Tricia, B.J., and Kay conclude the show with a Spoilers Beware segment examining the new information and clues revealed in the marketing for the movie since our last show. Next month The Force Awakens arrives! Look for a reaction show from Hyperspace Theories soon after opening weekend.   Related Links J.J.

On this month’s episode of Fangirls Going Rogue, Teresa Delgado and Tricia Barr share listener voicemails and emails, plus congratulatory messages from our fellow podcasters for our first year anniversary. Teresa and Tricia take a look back at our earliest plans and what they achieved. Thanks to Teresa literally chasing down Mary Franklin at Star Wars Weekends, they nabbed their dream interview going into the year. Talk about an interview to kick off the next year: special guest Star Wars Rebels executive producer Greg Weisman offers wisdom on creating great female characters and insights into working with the Story Group.  Tricia has a really fun moment when she explains her analysis of character interaction, that each character has their own gravity, and Greg Weisman says that’s spot on. If you listen carefully, you can hear her #fangirlflail. (And yes, that hashtag counts as another amazing accomplishment for this year!) Follow Greg Weisman on Twitter, where you can hear more about his upcoming Kanan comic from Marvel and find out more about his novels. Here is Johnmarie Macias’ review of Spirits of Ash and Foam at The Wookiee Gunner. An episode wouldn’t be complete without some discussion of Star Wars merchandise.

  Today marks the release of the first episode of Hyperspace Theories, a new Star Wars podcast centered on speculation and storytelling in the galaxy far, far away. We plan to record our shows monthly, although we may release shows more frequently on occasion if we have more to say!   The regular co-hosts of Hyperspace Theories are Tricia Barr, my editor and storytelling collaborator B.J. Priester, and FANgirl contributor and longtime fandom pal Kay. For the first show, to introduce the podcast and our goals, we’ll cover all the discussion. In future episodes, we hope to have a guest join us for our conversation.   In our inaugural episode, we begin by introducing ourselves and the goals of the podcast. In our discussion segments, we first talk about the stakeholders whose perspectives will shape the future of Star Wars stories, and how keeping their interests in mind can guide speculation on what choices are being made. Next we consider a key world-building element facing the Story Group and its storytellers: the Force, and how it will be portrayed in the movies and other media. Finally, we end with our short segment just for fun: the Plot Bunny Giveaway.   We hope you’ll give the episode a listen.  

For our May 13th show we offer two features: Gold Lab Symposium (starts at 3:42): Biotech entrepreneur Larry Gold, a CU Boulder professor at the BioFrontiers Institute, talks with How On Earth's Shelley Schlender about the annual Gold Lab Symposium, which will be held in Boulder May 16th and 17th.  This year's theme is Embracing the Reptile Within: Head, Heart and Healthcare.  The event will focus on research and educational approaches that can potentially help improve the U.S. healthcare system. U.S. Climate Change Report (starts at 11:50) The National Climate Assessment, a sobering new report on the science and impacts of climate change in the U.S., makes it starkly clear that human-induced climate change is already affecting all parts of the country. It is making water more scarce in some regions while bringing torrential rains elsewhere. It is making heat waves more common and severe, and it’s causing more severe and destructive wildfires.
