Disney may have put its Star Wars theme park plans on hold, EA may be working on an open-world Star Wars game, and The Clone Wars may rediscover its "lost missions" next year on Disney XD.

ForceCast #280: Emperor Gandalf Nov 22, 2013

Show notes

Ian McKellen...Shia LaBeouf...Joel McHale...No, they aren't being cast for Episode VII. Rather, they're a small sample of our casting considerations for an Original Trilogy reboot! We take a lighter approach to our discussion this week and look at who we would (or wouldn't) want to see cast if Disney were to remake the first three Star Wars movies. We also talk about the first confirmed casting for Episode VII, an interesting statement from EA's CFO, cover art for some upcoming books, and more!

ForceCast #279: Hipster Waru Nov 15, 2013

Show notes

Erik Blythe is out this week, but Christian Blauvelt from the BBC and Teresa Delgado from the new podcast Fangirls Going Rogue join Eric Geller to discuss Star Wars Episode VII's open audition process and the December release date that Lucasfilm announced last Thursday. Then, we step back from the day-to-day buzz around the first sequel film and discuss all the ways, big and small, that Disney could mine the Star Wars franchise for new material. From spinoff films to new EU publishing strategies to Disney merchandising tie-ins, we explore the opportunities that the galaxy far, far away presents to the House of Mouse.

We have an official release date! We also have news about casting calls we believe may be for Episode VII.

Weve got all this and more in this weeks ForceCast!
