The Star Wars Holiday Special "A Disturbance In The Force" blew the fandom away this holiday season, producer Kyle Newman is here to share stories all about the film as well as his cult classic he directed "Fan Boys" and all topics Star Wars.

We took a break from our first love, the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special, to see what the newest holiday special stacks up (sorry). This cute, Lego filled adventure taught us so much about the meaning behind master and apprentice languages, and took really strange choices, like not letting Threepio speak until the end? While not perfect, the special is great fun, and we hope you'll have a blast celebrating Life Day along with us! Be sure to follow us on Twitter @DistantEchoesSW or Instagram @DistantEchoesSW.

Welcome to Episode 155 of The Force Geeks: A Star Wars Podcast! Join Nate, Jake and Chris as they dive deep into the big moments of Part 7 of the Ahsoka series, just released on Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2023. The Geeks recorded this podcast minutes after the Disney+ premiere of this episode of Ahsoka!***If you have not watched the first seven episodes of Ahsoka, be warned that the Geeks are going into great detail about the big reveals in the show.***This episode is a treasure trove of Star Wars delights, with the introduction of Threepio as a way of invoking Preincess Leia, more Hayden Christensen, and intriguing hints at his future involvement. The ever-cunning Thrawn makes his presence felt as he stays one step ahead of our heroes, setting the stage for a thrilling showdown to come later. Ahsoka's intense face-off with Baylan, devoid of any concrete plan, becomes the plan in itself, while we explore how Ezra has managed to survive all these years without his lightsaber. As we brace for the series finale with only one episode left, we uncover a subtle Easter egg on Baylan's wrist, tying him to the Skywalker family legacy. Plus, we celebrate the end of the writer's strike and eagerly await Dave Filoni's return to press engagements, hoping for insights to make sense of it all.

Chapter 29 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarGrand Admiral Thrawn and Captain Pellaeon are engaged in preparations to assault the Sluis Van Shipyards. They have left a contingent of Stormtroopers at Hyllyard on Myrkr to intercept the survivors of a crash. Thrawn correctly suspects it may involve Luke Skywalker, but has insufficient evidence to implicate Talon Karrde in his duplicity. Han Solo and Lando Calrissian however sleuth out the truth, begrudging Karrde into cooperating to bring Luke back to safety.In the forest, Luke is marched by Mara Jade towards Hyllyard. Between the dangers of the forest and sleepless rotations, her animosity has boiled over to the point of confession. Before the deposition of the Emperor, she had held the position of Emperor's Hand: a covert operative answering to Palpatine's very mind.Disguised as best they can, Mara and Luke exit the forest into Imperial custody. As they are marched through Hyllyard, Karrde's men hand over a roughed up Han Solo. Han covertly alerts Luke and Mara of an imminent ambush, but Luke sees a tactical alternative. He creates a ruckus so that R2-D2 can inform the ambushers (via C-3PO in binary droid-speak) on the optimal timing for their attack. Chapter 29The ambush is set, but with new information from C-3PO, Lando and Karrde's administrator Aves butt heads over whether to abide by their strategic preparations or Luke's intuition. Blaster to Ave's head, Lando stakes his and Karrde's mens' lives on Luke; a gamble that leaves him mortally wounded.In the firezone, Luke, Mara, and Han take cover until Luke can engage his plan. On his command, Han creates a distraction for R2-D2 to toss Luke's lightsaber for him. In the confusion, Luke fells the very archway the Imperials are using for cover, destroying the armoured Imperial Chariot. Links, Share, and SupportDocumentation for this chapterCross platform link for this chapterDiscuss this chapter on Discord, YouTube, or RedditSupport us on PatreonOur WebsiteTranscriptHosts' ThoughtsAt first I thought Han had Hoodini his way out of the cuffs and was immediately disappointed to remember he was set up with dummy cuffs"Blazing green blade" :( there goes my theory (though Luke was the POV character so maybe there's special pleading to be had)“The blade slicing through the listening stormtrooper armour with hardly a tug to mark its passing.” HOLY S***Luke casually destroying cultural artefacts throughout this bookBimm tapestriesMykyrian architecture(More?

There appeared to be, along with the explicit and enjoyable main theme, there is a sub-theme involving Star Wars - witness 9D, Humanoid robot who appears in all nine "Star Wars" episodes, informally, THREEPIO, 17A, Childhood nickname for Darth Vader, ANI,  and 52D, Decide one will, OPTTO (which has a decidedly Yoda-ish sound to it).

Chapter 12 of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991) (EU: 9 ABY) by Timothy Zahn. The Story So FarAfter two foiled kidnappings on diplomatic missions, Leia Organa-Solo and Han Solo suspect a leak inside the New Republic government. They head to the Athega system to find Lando to get his help outside New Republic jurisdiction. Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker has been training Leia to be the first of the new generation of Jedi while struggling with self-doubt as the teacher needed to rebuild the Order. On a hunch he travels to Dagobah, hoping to find something left behind by Master Yoda. Ultimately disappointed, Luke recovers a nondescript gadget from the Dark Side Cave, but suspects Lando can help with deciphering the script written on the side. Meanwhile, Grand Admiral Thrawn's schemes are coming to a head as he has allied himself with Master Joruus C'baoth, clone and Dark Jedi. Captain Pelleaon devises a plan to disseminate information that might lure Luke to C'baoth instead of sending more noghri to capture him. Finally, Mara Jade has apprenticed to the smuggler Talon Karrde as they play cat-and-mouse to tease information out of each other.Chapter 12The Millennium Falcon arrives in the Athega system with Han and Leia looking to meet with Lando. Luke arrives at just the right time for them to take the slow sublight trip to the inter system since neither the Falcon nor Luke's X-Wing have slave circuits needed to precisely co-ordinate inbound ships with their shielding escort. Once at Nkllon, though, the Empire shows up suddenly.

In The Empire Strikes Back Minutes 71-75, Yoda raises the ship while Luke looks on in disbelief. Oboist Trevor Mowry and Father David Mowry return to SWMM to talk about this emotional cue (complete with the best E Maj7 chord ever), the "Peter and Wolf"-like instrumentation (are you team French horn or team trumpet?), the expansiveness of Yoda's theme, and the tactility of Star Wars sound design.

“Here we go again”, as Threepio once famously said.  Another rumored STAR WARS film is in the works, this one coming from Damon Lindelof and targeting a December 2025 release.  So naturally, we are skeptical. ANDOR is bringing us STAR WARS stories told without all the typical bells and whistles we expect. We discuss the pros and cons. Faverau and Filoni revealed some MANDALORIAN, AHSOKA, and SKELETON CREW  production updates to ET and we review the highlights, along with Hayden Christensen's acceptance speech at the 2022 Saturn Awards. Plus, a new version of the NARKINA PRISON BLUES and more!

Anakin and Padmé arrive on Geonosis and enter the droid factory in the hopes of securing Obi-Wan Kenobi's release. We are joined by Aaron and David from Star Wars Reactions for this segment of our series looking at Attack of the Clones for its 20th anniversary. This segment runs from 1:33:38 to 1:44:07. In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss: Aaron and David's memories of seeing Attack of the Clones as they answer our three questions on the movie, Jar Jar Binks proposing emergency power for Chancellor Palpatine, Anakin and Padmé's infiltration of the droid factory and the Geonosians attack, Artoo and Threepio's adventures and misadventures in the factory, and Padmé's admission that she loves Anakin.

Who is Dar Champion, and how far can Leia trust him when Han's life is on the line? What shocking lesson will Luke learn when Warba finally reveals her true self? And can Threepio seize control of his destiny and be the hero of his own story? The lives of thousands of rebels hang in the balance as our heroes grapple with their greatest doubts and challenges.

Well folks, the day has arrived at long last. The day TJ has been dreading ever since we first covered A New Hope. The movie that pulled a Babu Frik and erased TJ's brain. And of course. We had to do it to him on his birthday. Threepio won't have to give us the odds on how this episode will go. Between the two of us, we have more notes than an organic chemistry exam, which means JJ and Chris Terrio will have to see us after class. Join us for C-3PJesus, Mitt Romney in the First Order, John Boyega's poor vocal chords, the kiss that disappointed an entire theater, and disturbing overuse of Carrie Fisher's face, as we wrap up our coverage of mainline Star Wars with Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.

Dang it, Threepio! He girlbossed all over our recording with Matt and Luke from Star Wars Sessions, so this week for our Boba and Friends segment, Cat and Silver are the friends! And we're ready to discuss the finale of The Book of Boba Fett, “In the Name of Honor”. We discuss some of our favorite moments from this week's episode, including the Pit Droids, Peli and the Majordomo's blossoming romance, and how the visual effects were some of the best we've seen to date. Silver and Cat also discuss their favorite and least favorite aspects of The Book of Boba Fett. Because we're major simps for Obi-Wan Kenobi, we of course HAVE to discuss the drop of the Kenobi poster and release date! The girls then cover their hopes for Kenobi, favorite moments of the character throughout his appearances in the universe, and drool over their “Whatta Man” of the week - Bail Organa. Even just typing his name is making me flustered!While we can't yet ForceTime, we'd still love to connect!SOCIAL MEDIA:instagram.com/intothegcpodcasttwitter.com/InGarbageChuteCONTACT:intothegcpodcast@gmail.com

IF YOU'RE NEW HERE: You're in the right place! On this podcast, we nerd out on the music & sound of Star Wars 5 cinematic minutes at a time. This season, each episode hyper-focuses on a single 5-minute chunk of A New Hope. Doing so allows us to get really specific about the composition, orchestration, motifs, underscore, ambience, sound design, mixing, dialogue, and most importantly, explore how the sound works in symbiosis with the film as a whole. You don't need to listen to these episodes in order, so feel free to jump around!

There's no music for our first 90 seconds on Tatooine, forcing us to reckon with the cicadas, barren landscape, and Threepio's frozen joints.

Disney hid their identity but left their feelgood fingerprints all over this goofy all-night scavenger hunt. The debut of a retainer-wearing Michael J. Fox disrupts an all-college (all-cliché) crew. Is it still fun, or would Threepio be right to say, "This is madness"? Hear us lose our marbles.

This week, the story is about the funnies! Star Wars movies are rollicking family adventure movies, so what would they be without some genuinely funny lines from hilarious characters? As with any large ensemble, some of the players involved are funnier than others, and a few are even funny for the wrong reasons. But we're tried to stick to purely authentic comedy in brainstorming our favourite funny moments in the saga. Share your own lists by tweeting @RECorder66 or emailing recorder66podcast@gmail.com.

This week's eps are a disparate bunch that replace the adventures of Obi and Ani for a triptych of duos, including the comedy stylings of Jar-Jar and Threepio on a planet full of Greedos (all two of them!). Listen to Peter frequently bungle the pronunciation of Star Wars names while Justin invents new ones and Mathew cancels 7-Up mascot Fido Dido. It all boils to a shocking pundown between Peter and Mathew. Oh and beware of spoilers pertaining to Issac Asmiov's FOUNDATION books.

Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #27 “Return of the Hunter!” is perhaps the BEST issue so far in this comic series!! Bounty hunter Valance appears, bringing with him all the melodramatic feels of his half human, half cyborg self. We were blown away by the resonating themes and action as Valance confronts Luke, goding him on with insulting name in the galaxy, "droid lover!" Luke and Threepio have some great buddy moments together too, and the three characters are pitted against each other in a final confrontation with a surprising end. Richard and Sarah discuss the comic and find FTOOM! Fast Facts (classic comic things that appear now in Star Wars books, comics and films) - including Valance appearing in a NEW and currently ongoing Marvel comics series Star Wars Bounty Hunters. Watch the Unedited Episode and See the Comic Book Pages https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laPOqUkviGU   Or read the comic book here!   Show Notes:   Title: "RETURN OF THE HUNTER" Release Date: June 26, 1979 Writer: Archie Goodwin Artwork: Carmine Infantino, Bob Wiacek, Petra Goldberg Cover Art: Carmine Infantino Editor: Jim Shooter, Archie Goodwin   Synopsis: This time Luke is hunted by the bounty hunter, Valance (That we originally met in issue 16). Forced to live as a cyborg due to injuries sustained from an aerial torpedo, Valance's mission is to find Luke Skywalker. Not only is Luke a droid-owner, but he also apparently treats them as equals, which Valance finds repulsive.    Meanwhile, Luke has taken C-3PO with him and is mapping out the perimeter of the Galactic Empire's most recent blockade. He deftly maneuvers his ship out of the way of an oncoming Imperial cruiser and hides out on the planet of Junction and also looks for a  trading post so that he can find parts needed to make repairs to R2-D2.    Luke and C-3PO arrive at a salvage yard where they are confronted by Valance and a battle is underway! Will this confrontation end in an emotional struggle? Stay tuned and find out!   As usual, we take our Facebook Group Comments on the cover into account as we analyze this issue.
