How Starkiller Base Was Built So Quickly - Star Wars Explained Jul 27, 2023

Show notes

In Star Wars The Force Awakens, we saw the newly built Starkiller Base, much like the Death Star with some differences, it comes to question just how this MASSIVE construction was made so 'quickly'?

Do you think in The Last Jedi we'll get a new base? Or will they scrap the whole idea and move to Snoke's huge ship? I hope we see Kylo Ren much stronger in this film, and I believe we will soon...Do you think he'll team up with Rey? Will Luke Skywalker show his green lightsaber?

How Luke CRASHED a Star Destroyer on Jakku (CANON) - Star Wars Explained Jul 27, 2023

Show notes

In Star Wars The Force Awakens, we were introduced to the planet Jakku, where we saw a massive Star Destroyer having crash landed. In the canon book Tales of Luke Skywalker, we are told of how he crashed a star destroyer on the planet itself. Could this be the one that we saw, or just one of many? The stories here lead into Star Wars The Last Jedi so I'll definitely be covering as much from the novel as I can before the movie comes out, for you all. Hopefully we'll find some information here about Snoke, Rey and Kylo Ren, along with Luke Skywalker's training after Return of the Jedi.

A Big Easter Egg in Star Wars You Might Have Missed - Death Star Fate Jul 27, 2023

Show notes

In Star Wars Revenge of the Sith we see Anakin Vs Count Dooku. As we goes to recover Obi-Wan Kenobi, Palpatine tells him to leave or they'll never make it. Anakin responds with "His fate will be the same as ours." - George was brilliant when he wrote this in as it helps tie in the following trilogy very nicely if we catch it. Enjoy :)
