Remembering JW Rinzler Aug 06, 2021

Show notes

Hey everyone, just thought we'd put together a little something as a tribute to the incredible author of so many of our favorite Star Wars non fiction books and friend of the show, the late Jonathan Rinzler. He was always so kind and supportive of us, even when we teased him and the weird sounds his cat made. Jonathan passed away at the age of 58 on July 28th, 2021 but his pioneering work, his giving spirit and warm support to Star Wars fans will live on forever. Here you'll find a message he recorded for us for one of our holiday special episodes and the audio from his talk with us in August 2018 in episode 137 where we talked to him about the early drafts of Return of the Jedi. Thank you again Jonathan. for without you we would have nothing to talk about.

Episode 271 - Rebel Mission To Ord Mantell Mania Jun 22, 2021

Show notes

We all know Han Solo had a run in with a bounty hunter on Ord Mantell but did you know that the legendary Brian Daley wrote a standalone story about it that came out the same year as the Star Wars radio drama? This odd, wonderful and long of out print piece of SW history stands alone as the one thing that combines the voice cast of the Beuna Vista read along records and the spirit of the NPR radio shows! How did it come about and what is its connections to Two Tubes, Cad Bane and how did it almost end up being the plot for an episode of the Droids animated series?! So don't hate the bug people, listen today and celebrate the love with BLAST POINTS!
