1,459: Star Wars and the "Public Trust" Jul 02, 2018

Show notes

If I've learned anything in the past four years, and especially in the past six months, it was that I was wrong about something fundamental from the very get-go. In Episode #1 of the podcast back in 2014, I asserted that Star Wars belonged to us as fans, and that George Lucas created a new kind of public trust by creating something so culturally resonant as Star Wars. Well, parts of the reasoning were true, but the conclusion was anything but. Punch it!

1,458: Scoundrel Business: Testing Star Wars' Limits Since 2016 Jul 01, 2018

Show notes

We're doing Scoundrel Business a day early because we've got important stuff to talk about during this, the Anniversary Week for Star Wars 7x7, and it begins here. We're looking at how Universal, Sony, and Fox have all tried aggressively to figure out how to beat Star Wars at the box office, since at least 2016, and what that means for Episode IX. Punch it!

1,457: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Update Jun 30, 2018

Show notes

In news from earlier this month that we haven't yet covered, Respawn Entertainment finally got to announce the game on which they're working for Lucasfilm. "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order" will be released in the 2019 holiday season, and we'll talk about what's known so far about the game and its setting in today's episode. Punch it!

1,456: Star Wars Resistance Production Update Jun 29, 2018

Show notes

We're about three months away from the launch of the new Star Wars animated TV series, Star Wars Resistance. That's a guesstimate - no debut date has been announced, but by looking at the season premiere dates for the four seasons of Star Wars Rebels on Disney XD, three months is a reasonable estimate. Voice actor Jim Rash revealed a bit about his and Bobby Moynihan's characters, and Star Wars Insider magazine just revealed who's doing the voice of lead character Kazuda Xiono. Plus, whose names are significantly missing from the announced cast so far? Punch it!

1,455: "Star Wars Underworld" Team-Up: Was "Solo" the First Shot? Jun 28, 2018

Show notes

Occasionally, folks talk about what Lucasfilm could learn from Marvel in terms of using character movies to build up to one big extravaganza. But what if Lucasfilm is already doing it? And what if Solo: A Star Wars Story was the first shot (pun intended) at building toward a Star Wars Underworld blockbuster? What we know about movies in development helps to make the case... Punch it!

1,454: 7 Reasons We Need a Sequel to Solo: A Star Wars Story Jun 27, 2018

Show notes

Sure, it might seem strange to suggest it, in light of the reviews that weren't as good as the three previous Disney/Star Wars movies, and the box office performance too. But that's actually one of the reasons why doing a sequel to Solo: A Star Wars Story would be an idea worthy of the man himself, ol' George Lucas. I'll explain, and add six more reasons on top of it in today's episode.

BONUS EPISODE/PSA: One Year Cancer-Free Jun 26, 2018

Show notes

If you've listened to the podcast for a while, you've probably heard me talk about being diagnosed with skin cancer in June 2017. I wasn't sure I wanted to talk about it on the podcast, but the number of people who've said it influenced them to make their own skin check appointments has been incredibly humbling. So in this bonus episode, I'm delivering the good news about being cancer free a year later, and hoping to inspire more people to get themselves checked...

1,453: Hollywood Reporter Sources Speak About Star Wars Standalones Jun 26, 2018

Show notes

Another country heard from, so to speak! It's still REALLY quiet, comparatively speaking, regarding the Collider report about Star Wars standalone movies being put on hold. But another publication, The Hollywood Reporter, is finally on the record about it, citing sources that seem to contradict the Collider report. The details are on the show today... Punch it!

1,452: Scoundrel Business: Solo Crosses $200 Million Domestic Jun 25, 2018

Show notes

Well, it took a bit longer than it did for the previous three Star Wars movies released under the Disney banner, but Solo: A Star Wars Story crossed the $200 million mark domestically and the $350 million mark worldwide during its fifth weekend of release. And with the pending purchase of Fox and its movies by Disney, will Disney in general and Star Wars in specific end up suffering because - in a sense - the studio (Disney) winds up competing with itself as often as it competes against other studios and their releases? Punch it!
