Beer Ads Edited Into STAR WARS Films Go Viral Mar 09, 2024

Show notes

Sure, THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU film is deep in pre-production, THE BAD BATCH is steeped in mid-season, and new STAR WARS home video releases are on the way. But despite all that, the biggest story in STAR WARS news this week is the resurfacing of a 2003 broadcast from Chile featuring beer advertising edited into the STAR WARS movies themselves. We look at some of the footage and discuss the impact on the internet this old footage has had. In other news, new 4k Blu Ray releases for OBI-WAN KENOBI and ANDOR were revealed this week, composer John Williams revealed a big "mistake" he made when composing music for the original 1977 STAR WARS film, an odd goof has been discovered by freeze-framing REVENGE OF THE SITH, and we pay tribute to a late Friend of the Show, Mark Dodson - The voice of Salacious Crumb. Plus, we feature more highlights from Billy Dee Williams' new autobiography, BAD BATCH listener feedback and more!

Summer of STAR WARS: THE ACOLYTE Feb 17, 2024

Show notes

The next STAR WARS streaming series, THE ACOLYTE, is coming this summer. We discuss what we know about the story and listen to comments from showrunner Leslye Headland to find clues. Former MANDALORIAN actor Gina Carano made waves last week by revealing her lawsuit against Lucasfilm for wrongful termination. We listen to new comments from Gina explaining why she wants to move forward with litigation and the challenges she's encountered since losing her gig. We also consider the future for the character Cara Dune and wonder if there is a chance Gina will return to the role. Could the character get recast with a new actor? We speculate! We also continue our search for the "new" Wilhelm Scream with fresh evidence gathered by the RFR Investigative Report Team. Plus, THE PHANTOM MENACE celebrates its 25th anniversary this year with a return to the theaters, STAR WARS kitchen items, Sith Lightning, STAR WARS in Pop Culture and more!

STAR WARS Controversies and Condolences Feb 10, 2024

Show notes

The Gina Carano controversy resurfaced this week as she finally filed a lawsuit against Lucasfilm claiming she was unfairly terminated from the role of Cara Dune on THE MANDALORIAN. We review the complaint and speculate about the eventual outcome. We offer our condolences to the family of Carl Weathers as the legendary actor behind Greef Carga sadly passed away. We pay tribute to Carl with audio highlights from his career as a member of the STAR WARS family along with reaction from Dave Filoni. We also raise a Red (Han) Solo Cup to the late country music superstar Toby Keith. Plus, more discussion about the upcoming "Rey Skywalker" film with audio from Daisy Ridley and FANBOYS celebrates its 15th anniversary.
