In this episode, we dive deep into the monumental challenge faced by The Rise of Skywalker when it hit theaters in December 2019. Tasked with concluding the 9-film Skywalker Saga and reuniting a divided fan base, the film was promised to be "satisfying." But did it deliver? We'll kick off with a brief intro, followed by a discussion about Solo: A Star Wars Story, Colin Trevorrow’s Duel of the Fates, and the return of JJ Abrams alongside Chris Terio. We'll reminisce about the Episode IX panel at Star Wars Celebration Chicago and the iconic trailer reveal with Ian McDermid’s unforgettable "Roll it again" in Palpatine’s voice. Expectations for The Rise of Skywalker were sky-high, but did it meet them? We’ll share our initial reactions, what we loved, what we didn’t, and debate whether it was a “satisfying” conclusion to the saga. Despite its struggles, we acknowledge the film's remarkable moments and true Star Wars essence. We'll explore major themes in The Rise of Skywalker, such as community and collective action, overcoming family legacy, and the power of hope and faith, especially through Leia's unwavering hope in her son.

Why We Can't Keep Quiet About A Quiet Place: Day 1 (Season 7 Episode 16) 36:43

37 weeks ago36:43

36:43

We're not typically horror movie enthusiasts, but there's one franchise that captivates us with its terrifying brilliance. What makes it stand out is the same reason we love Japanese-language, English-subtitled monster movies: the compelling story and characters. Stay tuned as we dive into it. We'll share our overall thoughts on A Quiet Place: Day 1, including our Letterbox rating, favorite moments, and comparisons to the previous A Quiet Place movies. Despite being a prequel with new characters, A Quiet Place: Day One outperformed its predecessors on opening weekend. Let’s explore why. Opening Weekend Box Office: A Quiet Place: $50M A Quiet Place Part II: $47M A Quiet Place: Day One: $52M [Inside Out 2: $57M (Highest grossing movie that weekend)\ Why has this franchise grown in popularity? What excited you about this prequel story for opening weekend? Would A Quiet Place Part III have performed as well? Blockbusters require several factors to succeed, and the A Quiet Place series has consistently hit the mark, much like Godzilla Minus One. The first 10 minutes of Day One lack any alien invasion. Did this approach work for you? Is Day One an alien invasion movie or a character-driven story set during an invasion? Why have franchises like Star Wars and Marvel struggled to consistently deliver strong stories and characters? We've got SO MUCH more to share about the show and everything going on around it.

Shuri’s story in Wakanda Forever is a perfect example of this. All of us have been touched by the death of someone we love. And it’s so hard to go through. And lots of times it causes us to question everything we believe in and even lose ourselves in the process.

PLUS: Sam finally watched the 2017 theatrical version of "Justice League" and has his own thoughts on how it compares with Zach Snyder's version of the story.

Why Anakin Skywalker Could Never Be A Master 1:04:36

This Week on Tatooine Sons: Part 5 of Obi Wan Kenobi gave Star Wars fans the special treat they've been waiting for: a flashback sequence showing Anakin Skywalker. But this episode also revealed the reason why the conflict between Darth Vader and Ben Kenobi at the close of Part 3 of the series didn't break canon. In reality, Part 5 showed us that Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader NEVER became the Master. We'll discuss this along with a closer look at Vecna in Stranger Things, Seasons 1-3, and how Grant Gustin could replace Ezra Miller as The Flash in the DCEU. THIS is Tatooine Sons!…

Talking To Two Guys Who Dont Know Star Wars - The Adam Glyn and Dax Holt Interview 39:10

3 years ago39:10

39:10

Imagine this scenario with me… You didn’t grow up watching a galaxy far, far away like a lot of kids. Instead, you spent most days reading your mom’s People Magazine and US Weekly. What does that lead to as an adult? You become TMZ reporters and street interviewers like Adam Glyn and Dax Holt. This conversation is basically off the rails from the beginning, but you’re going to love it. Adam Glyn grew up in New Jersey just outside of New York City. Like many college graduates, Glyn had difficulty finding a job, so comedy found him. He became a staple in the New York Comedy scene performing at clubs all over the city and opening for headliners around the country. In 2010, Glyn was approached by a rising entertainment news outlet looking to expand into NY. He changed the paparazzi scene into “street journalism.” He interviewed the biggest politicians, musicians, actors, athletes, and social influencers in the world. Oprah Winfrey, Donald Trump, Jimmy Carter, Tony Robbins, Tim Ferris, Floyd Mayweather, Connor McGregor, Shaquille O’Neal, David Letterman, Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, Kevin Hart, Derek Jeter, Usher, Rihanna, Ronda Rousey, and many many more. Beyoncé even put him in her music video for the hit song, “XO.” Shaquille O’Neal is known for picking him up wherever he is, putting him in his car, and making him hang with him for the day. Widely cited for his journalism in the 2014 “Ray Rice news conference” with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, making the Yale Public Library for #4 Quote of 2014. Joining Adam is his co-host on Hollywood Raw Podcast, Dax Holt. During his 11 years at TMZ, Dax quickly became one of the most recognizable faces of Warner Brothers’ hit entertainment show. While with the organization, he earned two Emmy-nominations for his work and became their top on-air correspondent. Dax has appeared on countless other programs such as Access Hollywood, The Talk, Dish Nation, and more notably Live! with Kelly. His engaging personality led him to become a finalist during the widely publicized national search to co-host alongside Kelly Ripa. Dax’s wild sense of humor, contagious laugh, and presence on both the internet and television set him apart. Check out Dax and Adam and their podcast, Hollywood Raw at hollywoodraw.com!

The Father of the Modern Superhero Movie: The Michael Uslan Interview 33:18

Imagine this scenario with me. You’re 16 years old. You’re a Batman SUPER fan. And your standing in front of the movie executive who is the reason that every Batman film and animated feature has been produced since 1989. And he’s just told you that you understand Batman perfectly. This is exactly what you’re about to hear in this conversation between BB-N8 and the living legend, Michael Uslan. It’s impossible to fully describe the debt that the modern day comic book nerd owes to Michael E. Uslan. Michael Uslan is the Executive Producer of all of the Batman features from Batman to The Batman and every animated feature and show in between. He won an Emmy Award for TV's "Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?" And he even taught the world's first accredited college course on comic books. He’s the author of Batman's Batman: A Memoir from Hollywood, Land of Bilk and Money and The Boy Who Loved Batman: A Memoir. If you’re a regular listener of Tatooine Sons, you know what a “pinch yourself” moment this is for BB-N8, our resident comic book nerd and Batman aficionado. When Nathan tried to describe for me what he was feeling on the morning of the interview, he said that it’s as big for him as it would be for me to interview Mark Hamill.

One of the ideas that we’ve tried to continue to present on this show for more than four years now, is that Star Wars is best when it’s viewed through the eyes of a children. A few months ago, I was scrolling through Twitter when I saw someone tweeting about how they were experiencing the same thing while watching Star Wars Rebels. That someone was none other than Star Wars author, Cavan Scott. He’s with me on today’s show to discuss it and a lot more. THIS is Tatooine Sons. Cavan Scott is a New York Times bestselling author whose work includes novels, television, comic books and award winning audio dramas. He has written for a large number of high-profile series including Star Wars, Batman, Doctor Who, Assassin's Creed, Pacific Rim, Transformers, Back to the Future, Star Trek, Vikings, Adventure Time and more. His latest creator-owned comic book series, the supernatural urban fantasy Shadow Service, launched in 2020 from Vault comics.

It’s almost impossible to describe the height of expectations that BB-N8 had going into our viewing of The Batman earlier this week.

Coming into this week, his excitement had rubbed off on me and Sam and we were at a crazy level too. Did The Batman come close to delivering? If you’re a regular listener of Tatooine Sons you already know that BB-N8 is a massive fan of Batman comics and stories. He’s got hundreds of comics in his room, and has been anticipating this movie for years now. We had the privilege of seeing the special IMAX screening of The Batman on Tuesday evening, and we’re here to give our SPOILER FILLED thoughts on the Caped Crusader and his Rogues Gallery including The Riddler, The Penguin, Catwoman and… Well - maybe we’ll hold that last part back for later in the episode.

This interview is going to be unlike any you’ve heard before on Tatooine Sons. I’m joined by Dominic Pace. You’ve probably heard about him and his story of getting the chance to play a bounty hunter in Chapters 1 and 3 of The Mandalorian. He’s been on the show a couple of times before. But this interview isn’t about Star Wars. It’s about something so much more important. Dominic began studying with members of the Actors Studio Mimi Turque and Susan Batson in 1995. He then moved on to William Esper's two-year program where he studied under Terry Knickerbocker. He has been awarded "Best Actor" at the 2004 Palm Beach International Film Festival for his performance in the independent feature, Little Kings. He was a member of The MET Theater Company and the Tim Robbins Company, and The Actors' Gang in Los Angeles. During the Pandemic of 2020 and 2021, Dominic toured the country in an effort to support Small Business Comic Shops. Through autographs of his Gekko character from The Mandalorian, he helped raise over $35,000 for the stores, along with over $10,000 for charity. Mayors of Houston, TX and Sioux City, IA named a day after him in recognition for his contribution to the local economy. The Mayor of Cleveland, TN awarded Pace with the Key to the City. And now, Dominic has an important message he feels compelled to share with the world, that’s so much bigger than Star Wars.

If you’ve listened to this show before, you’ve heard the moment that BB-N8 asked Rian Johnson a question that changed Star Wars Canon forever. But that one moment is only a fraction of the story. This week, BB-N8 and Samuel the Hutt join me to look at all of the amazing twists and turns in what we call “The Legend of Terbus the Porg.” You already know the basics of the story: we get invited to IMAX HQ to watch The Last Jedi followed with a Q&A by Rian Johnson. BB-N8 works up the nerve to ask Rian about the name of the porg on the Millennium Falcon. Rian turns the question around on him. Nate answer with “Terbus.” And almost 2 years later Terbus is in an official Star Wars comic book series.

In a FIRST for Tatooine Sons, we have a Finale Reaction Panel for The Book of Boba Fett! 😱 Our panel guests include: Pete Fletzer is a freelance writer who was best known for his work in the mid-90s for Lucasfilm and Topps’ Star Wars Galaxy and Star Wars Insider magazines. Discovered by Steve Sansweet of Rancho Obi Wan fame, he wrote content about toys and collectibles, unique fan stories, and New York area Star Wars movie premiers. He was right in the thick of the Star Wars resurgence at the turn of the century, covering events like the Special Editions in 1997 and all three Prequel premieres. He authored almost 200 Star Wars questions for The Amazing Science Fiction & Horror Trivia Game. In the early 2000s, Pete stepped away from writing and disappeared from the public eye - other than issuing the occasional blog post. In 2019 he released his mammoth full-length fan fiction novelization of The Phantom Menace called Duel of the Fates. An accomplished voiceover artist, Pete can be heard weekly on his podcasts called Around the Galaxy and Disturbances in the Force.

It’s been said that there are only seven stories in the world, and every movie, TV show, video game and book we love follows one of those plot points. I’m not sure I believe that at all. But I do think that there is a right way to tell a story, and a wrong way. Today, I’m joined by author and award winning screenwriter Geoffrey Calhoun to discuss what makes a great story. Geoffrey is the best-selling author of The Guide For Every Screenwriter and host of The Successful Screenwriter Podcast. As a screenwriter and founder of We Fix Your Script, he is sought out as a script consultant and a re-writer for various stages of development and production. Geoffrey is known for his fast-paced thrillers but has also won awards for comedies and dramas. He has received honors in several film festivals and contests including the Louis Mitchell Award for Excellence in Writing. He believes everyone is a writer at heart and has dedicated himself to help others learn the craft. His seminars are designed to break down the mysteries of screenwriting by using easy to follow templates, outlines, and modern popular films as examples.

I just got an email from AMC Theaters. If you’re a part of the AMC Stubs A-List and you saw Spider-Man: No Way Home on opening weekend, you probably got one too. It’s about a special NFT assigned exclusively to you. It has monetary value. And if you’re like me, you’re probably clueless about this and everything surrounding what is being called Web 3.0. Fortunately, Dion Wilson is back for the second part of his interview to help us begin to understand it. As you learned last week, Dion is the creator of TitaniumComics, Rast·r Technologies and Multiverse. And Rast.r is changing the game for independent comic book publishers by helping them leverage the power of Web 3.0 to level the playing field. Rast.r’s flagship product is HeroLedger. Dion describes it as Rast.r’s “brand emissary, the halcyon of our arrival and the symbol of the future of the comic industry.” Developed as a digital B2B marketplace, creators will have the option of buying, selling or licensing various forms of comic art. Whether to cut production time, pitch an idea or include it in co-branding initiatives, the possibilities are endless. THIS is Tatooine Sons! THIS is Tatooine Sons.

We Are What They Grow Beyond - The Pete Fletzer Interview 43:07

3 years ago43:07

43:07

Say what you will about the Disney era of Star Wars, one thing cannot be denied: it has been successful in bringing in a new generation of Star Wars fans. And that’s why today’s conversation is so interesting. I’m joined by Pete Fletzer of Around the Galaxy to talk about growing up with a Star Wars dad, and then becoming one himself... Pete Fletzer is a freelance writer who was best known for his work in the mid-90s for Lucasfilm and Topps’ Star Wars Galaxy and Star Wars Insider magazines. Discovered by Steve Sansweet, he wrote content about toys and collectibles, unique fan stories, and New York area Star Wars movie premiers. He was right in the thick of the Star Wars resurgence at the turn of the century, covering events like the Special Editions in 1997 and all three Prequel premieres. He authored almost 200 Star Wars questions for The Amazing Science Fiction & Horror Trivia Game. In the early 2000s, Pete stepped away from writing and disappeared from the public eye - other than issuing the occasional blog post. In 2019 he released his mammoth full-length fan fiction novelization of The Phantom Menace called Duel of the Fates. An accomplished voiceover artist, Pete can be heard weekly on his podcasts called Around the Galaxy and Disturbances in the Force. All that is really cool. But I’m most excited to have Pete on the show this week, because he’s truly become a friend. He’s a positive force in a Star Wars fandom that needs more voices like his. THIS is Tatooine Sons! Follow Around the Galaxy and read all of Pete's writing, including "Duel of the Fates" at ATGCast.com!

Is It Really Possible that the Force Can Fix the World? The Stephen Kent Interview 36:24

Welcome to this INAUGURAL episode of our weekly interview series! I open every episode of Tatooine Sons with the statement, “We believe that pop culture is the mythology of our generation. There’s a story, written on our souls, and that these myths speak to that story.” Our guest today believes this so much, he’s convinced that the Force can fix the world. Our guest this week is Stephen Kent. Stephen is a communications and public relations professional who regularly appears on Fox News, Fox Business, CNN, C-SPAN, the Glenn Beck Show, BlazeTV, and SiriusXM POTUS Channel. Stephen hosts Right Now, a conservative & libertarian YouTube show on the Rightly network and he’s also the host of the popular Star Wars & politics podcast, Beltway Banthas. Stephen is one of the most interesting voices in the Star Wars fan community. And I was honored to spend a few minutes with him recently discussing his new book.

The answer has HUGE ramifications for the MCU (including the X-Men). And it may show us a bit about ourselves too. We walked out of the theater after watching the latest James Bond movie, "No Time To Die" with very different opinions. BB-N8 loved it. The rest of us didn't. He'll explain why we're "dead" wrong.

I hate the Sequels." Join us as we have a some fun discussing the similarities to current Star Wars fandom's treatment of the Sequels, with the way fans handled The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith over the past 20 years.

Next, we'll look at one of the more unappreciated shorts in Star Wars Visions, "Akakiri." This one goes down a philosophical path about destiny and free will.

This week on Tatooine Sons! - It’s safe to say that Star Wars Visions has been very well received by both critics and audiences since its release earlier this week. We’re continuing our look at this groundbreaking anime series with the cutest of all the shorts, TO-B1. If you’re not paying attention closely, you might miss how much it feels like The Empire Strikes Back... - What If...Thor Were an Only Child certainly had a very different tone from any of the previous episodes. Thor is a frat boy. Loki is tall and blue and also best bros with Thor. And Darcy gets hitched to Howard the Duck by an Elvis impersonator. - Venom came out 3 years ago with mixed reactions. It was loved by most audience members but panned by critics. We will be going over some of the themes and points in the original Venom and we will speculate responsibly about Venom: Let There Be Carnage. PLUS: Our Bad News segment looks at at these 3 crazy "clickbait" headlines: “Why Star Wars Trilogy Editor Marcia Lucas Hates the Sequels” https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/star-wars-marcia-lucas-sequels/ “Breaking News: Leaked Image Of Professor Xavier In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Confirms Patrick Stewart's Return” https://www.theilluminerdi.com/2021/09/21/eaked-image-of-professor-xavier/ “WB Has Decided To Restore The Snyderverse” https://www.dkoding.in/newsline/wb-restore-the-snyderverse-zack-snyder-justice-league/ BB-N8's Movie Moments: - Dear Evan Hanson hits the theaters to polarizing reviews - Shang Chi is about to become the top grossing film of 2021 - The voice cast for Super Mario Brothers announced And of course, we'll throw in some bad puns and a few "Dad Moments."

The good news is that we didn’t have a massive cliffhanger where Baby Yoda was left in the clutches of an evil Imperial war lord. The bad news is, there are still more questions than answers about Mando, Baby Yoda, Bo Katan and even the future of the show. 1. Now that he's finished his quest to reunite Baby Yoda with the Jedi, what's next for Mando 2. What is Bo Katan going to do now that Gideon is in the custody of the New Republic? 3.

How’s he going to get on Moff Gideon’s ship? Is there a Jedi coming to the rescue? Will we see Thrawn? And of course, what’s going to happen to Baby Yoda (Grogu)? We’re going to do our best to answer these questions and more, right after we recap Chapter 15. And we’re joined by a very special guest this week (it's Samuel the Hutt's new girlfriend!) It's TIME for Tatooine Sons! You can follow us on our socials, check out our website, buy Tatooine Sons merch and more here: flow.page/tatooinesons HOT TAKES Our regular show’s HOT TAKES were derailed by the crazy Star Wars announcements that happened last week. That means we haven’t had the chance to talk about Chapter 15: The Believer. Cara is breaking out a prisoner. Mayfeld poses a theological question. And Mando rejects The Way. That’s all up next on Hot Takes! Chapter 15 centers around Mando’s need to find out where Moff Gideon’s Imperial Cruiser is, so they can get busy rescuing Baby Yoda (Grogu). We learned at the close of Chapter 14, that Mando and Cara Dune are going to bust Mayfeld out of a New Republic Prison to make this happen. Were you a little worried about those first moments when Mando and Mayfeld are reunited? When Mando, Boba, Fennec and Mayfeld get to Morak, there’s a fun exchange between the crew that takes place when they discover that the best way to get into the base with the terminal Mayfeld needs to access is to hijack an Imperial Juggernaut transporting rydonium. It’s a two man job, but not everyone is capable of passing through the required ISB scans. There’s a lot of foreshadowing of what will happen at the end of the episode. Mayfeld and Mando have a really heavy conversation while on the Juggernaut. Mayfeld calls Mando’s devotion to “The Way” when he asks Mando if he can’t remove his helmet, or if he can’t show his face. We’re going to talk more about the mask/face situation in a moment, but let's look at the drink share between Mando and Mayfeld, and Valin Hess - the Imperial officer who Mayfeld served under during Operation: Cinder. For those who may not know what that is, take a second to explain it. It was hinted at throughout the entire episode - Mando is faced with a critical choice: follow “The Way” and fail in his mission to discover where Baby Yoda (Grogu) is, or violate his creed and show his face. What were you thinking when Mando took his bucket off?…

Boba Fett is Back! But Where is Baby Yoda? 59:27

4 years ago59:27

59:27

Chapter 14 of The Mandalorian WAS NOT a “filler episode!” In fact, there’s too much that happened for us to limit it to 3 Hot Takes. So we’re altering the deal, this week... After that, we’ll look at the incomparable AP-5, and why his age and experience helped save the Rebellion! It’s TIME for Tatooine Sons! Get your BOBA FETT, AHSOKA, and PORG shirts, stickers, and other merch! https://cutt.ly/tsmerch t’s just too hard. We can’t distill everything that happened in Chapter 14 of The Mandalorian into only three Hot Takes. So this week, we’re expanding to 10 questions that we’re going to answer in rapid succession. Let’s call it Hot Takes: Hyperdrive! Boba Fett is back! And his return saw more screen time and dialogue than he had in the ENTIRE Original Trilogy films, combined. Has the green bounty hunter who was unceremoniously dumped into the Sarlacc pit in Return of the Jedi finally earned the overwhelming fan obsession he’s received for 40+ years? Boba Fett is played by Temeura Morrison - who played Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones and was the template for the Clones in the prequel era. The first half of his appearance in Chapter 14 was without the armor. Let’s just say it - he kicked butt! What was it like seeing Boba Fett battle without his Mandalorian armor? It probably shouldn’t have been a surprise, but it was confirmed that the caped figure who approached the lifeless body of Fennec Shand in Chapter 5 “The Gunslinger” was Boba Fett, who not only rescued Shand, but restored her to health using robotics. Shand is one of the most dangerous assassins in the galaxy at this time. Can Mando and Boba trust her? While Boba Fett is clearly alive and well, we don’t know how he survived the Sarlacc pit. We do know he’s been hanging out on Tatooine. But that presents another question: he flew the Slave I all the way to Tython to get his armor back, when he could have just taken it from Cobb Vanth. Why? It didn’t take long for Grogu to take on the classic Jedi meditation pose and reach out through the Force when Mando placed him on the seeing stone on Tython. He was locked in for a very long time. Do you think he finished because he was exhausted, or because he made a connection? And if he made a connection, is anyone coming to find Grogu before the end of this season? We knew they were coming. What did you think about our first exposure to the Dark Troopers? Moff Gideon not only seemed pleased to have reacquired “The Asset” he lost in Chapter 3 - he reveled in Grogu’s use of some very Dark Side abilities to defend himself against the Storm Troopers in his prison cell. We know Gideon wants Grogu for his high M-Count. But is there more going on here than just blood harvesting? We never really thought of Boba Fett as someone with a “creed.” But his commitment to help Mando rescue Grogu changes that. He still describes himself as “...a simple man, trying to make my way in the universe,” but the revelations about Jango Fett being a foundling indicates that Boba’s father may have taught him “The Way” of the Mandalorian. Do you like the new info revealed about Jango Fett? One thing that survived the obliteration of The Razorcrest was the Beskar staff given to Mando by Ahsoka in the previous episode. It’s almost inevitable that we see that come into use by Mando in a battle against Moff Gideon and his Dark Saber. Do you think Mando will be able to hold his own against Gideon? Or is this leading to a very “dark” conclusion to Season 2? The episode ends with Mando asking Cara Dune - Marshall of the New Republic - if she can help him nust Mayfield out of a New Republic prison so Mando can get to Grogu on Gideon’s Destroyer. Is that the trajectory of the next two episodes? Or are we in for more surprises?…

And what’s even cooler, is that the real Dryden Vos wasn’t the real bad guy, anyway. New info, but no trailer, for The Mandalorian. Poe Dameron is a slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler.

Growing Up With Rose Tico 39:52

IMPORTANT NOTE: Since the recording of this episode, we have severed all ties to FarFarAwayNews.com, and will no longer be featuring articles from their site on our show. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - If you didn't already know that Rose Tico is a polarizing character in the Disney era of Star Wars, you're probably living under a rock. While Jar Jar Binks was clearly the most hated character of the Prequel Trilogy, no one in the Disney era of Star Wars has been more attacked than Rose Tico. The things some supposed fans have said about her, and Kelly Marie Tran - the actor who plays her - have been absolutely horrible. But Rose Tico has a very important lesson to teach us about the real world we live in today. We just have to be willing to hear it. This week, we look at Rose and how her character is faced with harsh truths about her heroes and cause. But she faces those truths and comes out on the other side stronger because of it. But FIRST - Hot Takes! We now know that Jar Jar Binks is NOT a Sith Lord, but is in fact, a Jedi Master! The population of Black Spire Outpost looks to grow exponentially very soon. And that crazy helmet rule from The Mandalorian could keep Pedro Pascal from winning awards.

Understanding Prophecy Like Qui Gon Jinn 57:11

When Qui Gon Jinn first appeared in The Phantom Menace, he introduced Star Wars fans to the concept of The Prophecy of the Chosen One. It’s hard to hear about a virgin birth and a foretold child without thinking of prophecies of another kind. And now that we’ve learned more about both the Jedi prophecies and Qui Gon Jinn, we can also see how to properly live in light of such prophecies. But FIRST... Samuel the Hutt might have to temper his expectations on the reappearance of Boba Fett in The Mandalorian. There’s another Ahoska Tano rumor out there, which begs another question altogether. And George Lucas has said that Star Wars is like poetry - it rhymes. And a recently revealed deleted storyline from The Rise of Skywalker has life imitating art. That’s all next on Hot Takes.

Learning To Stand On Your Own Like Rey Skywalker 25:44

Very little has divided Star Wars fandom over the past 5 years more than the question of who Rey’s parents were... 😱 "The Force Awakens" gave us no answers at all... 😤 "The Last Jedi" told us she was nobody... 😳 And "The Rise of Skywalker" had us go from nobody, to Palpatine’s granddaughter, to her assuming the mantle of Skywalker. (No wonder people called watching that film "a rollercoaster!!" 🤪) But in the end, the story of Rey Skywalker is one of learning that your lineage matters much less than who you CHOOSE to become. (Even if you choose to take the name of someone else! 😬) We talk about that on this week's show, PLUS: Who's idea was it to cover Carl Weather's handsome face with prosthetics, and make Greef Karga an ALIEN in "The Mandalorian?" 👽 ( https://www.farfarawaynews.com /…/greef-karga-was-originall…/ The cast of Season 2 of "The Mandalorian" is going to need a 50 passenger bus to get to the set! 🚍Which begs the question: Are there TOO MANY new characters coming to Season 2? 🤯 https://www.farfarawaynews.com /…/katee-sackhoff-to-play-bo…/ https://www.farfarawaynews.com /…/timothy-olyphant-cast-in-…/ What would it be like for the guy with the coolest lightsaber in Star Wars (we're talking about the Grand Inquisitor, of course) to come into LIVE ACTION? 😁 https://www.farfarawaynews.com /…/jason-isaacs-wants-to-pla…/ It's TIME for Tatooine Sons!…

(Audio Corrected) Top 5 Star Wars Games 1:00:39

Welcome Star Wars fans to ANOTHER very special LIVE episode of Tatooine Sons! We’re here at GameStop for the release of Jedi: Fallen Order! This has us thinking about Star Wars games of the past. Which ones are our favorites and why? We’re heading into the way back machine to talk Battlefront, Lego, Unleashed and more! A And of course, we’ll share out Hot Takes, poll results, what’s coming to shelves next week and more! It's TIME for Tatooine Sons! We’re celebrating the release of Jedi: Fallen Order, the latest in a long line of Star Wars games! But which games do WE think are the best in the series? We’re sharing our Unofficial Top 5 Star Wars games - along with a few honorable mentions - next. https://www.mandatory.com/culture/1533622-10-best-star-wars-games#1 - LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga: While not the most complex of titles, the LEGO Star Wars series has been delivering enjoyable fun for the whole family for over a decade now. Getting to reenact your favorite scenes from the various films is a blast, and The Complete Saga includes all six of the George Lucas directed pictures. - Star Wars (1983): For many older gamers, this is the title that immediately comes to mind when they think about the best Star Wars games. This first-person rail shooter was an amazing experience in arcades, especially if you were lucky enough to play the version that came in a cockpit. Sure, the vector graphics are rather simple when compared to games today, but it's still a thrill to shoot down the Death Star. - Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017): Jump into the boots of an elite special forces soldier, equally lethal on the ground and space, in an emotionally gripping new Star Wars campaign that spans over 30 years and bridges events between the films’ Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: The Force Unleashed, and its sequel, was the last real big-budget action game before Jedi: Fallen Order. While it isn't the most polished experience, and the protagonist has the ridiculous name of Starkiller, it's still a fun romp through various parts of the Star Wars universe. The story, which is continued in its sequel, is also much more interesting than it probably should be. -Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: Easily the best Star Wars game ever made, Knights of the Old Republic is a fantastic action role-playing game by BioWare. The developer also made an excellent sequel, but they would later go on to create both Mass Effect and Dragon Age. While it isn't a graphical powerhouse, the strong writing still resonates today and there's an excellent story for fans to take in. Honorable Mentions: - Star Wars Episode 1: Racer - Star Wars: Dark Forces - Star Wars: Battlefront II (2005) HOT TAKES: JJ Abrams talked to Crazy Uncle George about Midichlorians. Have you seen the Original Trilogy deleted scenes on Disney+? And John Boyega wasn’t thrilled with Finn in The Last Jedi. It’s time for Hot Takes! JJ Abrams Talked With Lucas About Midichlorians For Rise of Skywalker https://screenrant.com/star-wars-9-rise-skywalker-midichlorians-abrams-lucas/ Star Wars rare deleted scenes released on Disney+ for the first time https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a29782468/star-wars-deleted-scenes-disney-plus/ John Boyega was "adamant" Finn have a bigger role in The Rise of Skywalker https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a29794767/star-wars-rise-of-skywalker-john-boyega-finn-bigger-role/…

Welcome Star Wars fans to THIS VERY SPECIAL LIVE EPISODE of Tatooine Sons! It’s hard to believe, but after 20 months of hashtagging and campaigning, TERBUS IS CANON! (Applause) We’re going to retell the whole story from start to finish, and give our first impressions of Star Wars: Adventures #27! Plus some Hot Takes, Poll Results, Reviews, new Patreon supporters and whatever else we can think of! It's TIME for Tatooine Sons! We’ve been telling the story of Terbus the Porg since February 1, 2018. But never have we told it from start to finish in one sitting. But the canonization of Terbus deserves it. We present to you “Terbus the Porg: A Star Wars Story” Benioff and Weiss say goodbye to a galaxy far, far away. We’ve gotten a glimpse of some new “old” Star Wars favorites in latest The Mandalorian trailer. And Ewan McGregor has been lying to Star Wars fans for 4 years. It’s time for Hot Takes! HOT TAKES: Game of Thrones Creators No Longer Attached to Oversee Trilogy https://variety.com/2019/film/news/game-of-thrones-creators-star-wars-trilogy-exit-1203386590/ “Game of Thrones” creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will no longer write or produce a trilogy of “Star Wars” movies, Variety has confirmed. The pair attributed the departure to their upcoming Netflix projects. “We love Star Wars. When George Lucas built it, he built us too,” they said in a statement. “Getting to talk about Star Wars with him and the current Star Wars team was the thrill of a lifetime, and we will always be indebted to the saga that changed everything. But there are only so many hours in the day, and we felt we could not do justice to both Star Wars and our Netflix projects. So we are regretfully stepping away.” Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy remarked, “David Benioff and Dan Weiss are incredible storytellers. We hope to include them in the journey forward when they are able to step away from their busy schedule to focus on Star Wars.” A New Mandalorian Trailer! https://www.starwars.com/news/the-mandalorian-trailer-2 “They said you were coming. They said you were the best in the parsec.” The Mandalorian is, indeed, on its way, arriving on Disney+ on November 12. And tonight we’re watching the latest trailer for the first Star Wars live-action series again and again. Bounty hunting is a complicated profession, but it’s not difficult to see why we’re so excited for this footage B2 Battle Droid Clone Wars Era Command Ship Trandoshans Ewan McGregor Says Years of Lying About Reprising ‘Star Wars’ Role Was ‘Embarrassing’ https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-news/ewan-mcgregor-star-wars-doctor-sleep-ellen-905119/ “It’s awkward because the studios and the franchises, they want to keep everything totally secret, of course, which I understand,” McGregor explained. “But as the person being asked over and over and over again, ‘Are you? Would you do it again, would you do it again?’ And I’m already talking to them about it, but I can’t say that I am. So like for four years I was saying, ‘Well, I’d be happy to do it again if they — I’m just waiting for the call’ … It was embarrassing.” McGregor earlier said that the original plan was for a standard movie, but now the Kenobi series will be 6, 1 hour episodes.…

Welcome Star Wars fans to Episode 92 of Tatooine Sons! Finally! It’s been about 24 hours since the release of the FINAL trailer of the Skywalker Saga! It’s more than we could take in. This WHOLE episode is all about it. Including our Hot Takes, new poll and ANYTHING ELSE! It’s TIME for Tatooine Sons! There were more amazing moments in the trailer for The Rise of Skywalker than probably any other trailer in Star Wars history. We’re breaking it down and discussing what we believe are the 5 most important moments: Finn The Resistance Fleet C-3PO The Dagger Palpatine HOT TAKES: The Rise of Skywalker has already broken a record set by Avengers: Endgame. Leaks and spoilers are flooding the internet. How are you handling those? And come on, is that blue guy on the Topps trading card really Matt Smith? It’s time for Hot Takes! ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ outsells ‘Avengers: Endgame’ in first hour of presales on Atom Tickets https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/22/star-wars-rise-of-skywalker-outsells-avengers-endgame-in-first-hour.html “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” sold 45% more tickets during its first hour of presales on Atom Tickets than “Avengers: Endgame” did during its first hour earlier this year. Advanced tickets for the final installment of the Skywalker Saga became available on a number of digital ticketing sites, ahead of the trailer debut on Monday Night Football. This is a new record for Atom Tickets, the company said. TFA - $300M TLJ - $270M What’s your opening weekend box office projection? There’s Been A Crazy The Rise of Skywalker Leak! DON’T WORRY! We aren’t going to spoil anything! But these types of leaks are going to happen more and more as the film draws closer. What’s YOUR definition of a “leak” or “spoiler?” Is This TOPPS Card Showing Us Matt Smith in The Rise of Skywalker? https://movieweb.com/rise-of-skywalker-matt-smith-character-topps-trading-cards/ From the word jump, it was believed that Matt Smith had a prominent role in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. But then it was revealed by the actor himself that he wasn't actually in the movie. Many believed he was playing a young Emperor Palpatine, and that his role was being kept super secret. A new image has arrived from the sequel before tonight's big trailer launch. And many believe that it shows Matt Smith's true character. And it isn't Sheev Palpatine. In actuality, after looking at the image, there is still some mystery surrounding this strange blue alien. Nothing is known about him, other than he wears a funky space hat and breathing apparatus, as do some other prominent beings in the Star Wars galaxy. Matt Smith has denied vehemently that he even appears in J.J. Abram's saga ending finale. But some fans believe the truth lies within this latest leaked image. Is Matt Smith in TRoS?…

What Is The Force? 1:13:49

1:13:49

Freddie Prinze Jr. stirred up fandom with his comments about Star Wars and the nature of The Force. We all have our thoughts on what it is and how it works, but what is the official position of Lucasfilm according to StarWars.com? We’ll break it down this week. Plus, our Hot Takes, some exciting announcements about future guests, and some poll craziness. https://www.starwars.com/databank/the-force Why did an official Star Wars book say that the First Order hasn’t seen Kylo Ren’s face? Sequel Trilogy fans are asking “where’s Rose?” And Kanan Jarrus had some very direct things to say about Star Wars fandom. It’s time for Hot Takes! Wait, The First Order Hasn’t Seen Kylo Ren’s Face? https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2481871/star-wars-wait-the-first-order-hasnt-seen-kylo-rens-face “Kylo Ren's helmet is designed in the style of the Knights of Ren. It is also reminiscent of the infamous mask of his grandfather, Darth Vader, connecting Kylo Ren to the dark side of his family heritage. The helmet conceals his former identity as Ben Solo (also obscured by the helmet's vocoder which makes his voice sound more threatening), and serves to intimidate both his enemies and his subordinates in the First Order. Beyond this and the protection it affords, the helmet has no special functions.” - Ultimate Star Wars New Edition What about all those times Hux saw him? Or the others in The Last Jedi? Where’s Rose? https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/10/star-wars-wheres-rose-kelly-marie-tran A movement of Star Wars fans has taken to sharing the hashtag #WheresRose due to the lack of inclusion of the controversial character in marketing and merch for The Rise of Skywalker. Our friend and previous guest, Anthony Breznican, has a great article about the importance of this character and the concerns about this on Vanity Fair. There was no official comment from Disney consumer products, but a source close to the matter inside the company told Vanity Fair on background that the division takes the #WheresRose inclusivity concern seriously. Star Wars products draw from thousands of pieces of individual art that are meant to be mixed and matched, the source added, which is why the Rose Tico illustrations sometimes appear with the “Rebel” logo, and sometimes the logo is used on its own. Are JJ, Lucasfilm and Disney writing Rose out of any prominence in The Rise of Skywalker? Freddie Prinze Jr. Has Something to Say About The Force and Star Wars Fandom https://news.avclub.com/sit-down-shut-up-and-let-freddie-prinze-jr-explain-t-1838958149 Freddie Prinze Jr. became famous as the high school hunk type in She's All That, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and even Scooby-Doo. But he's high-key a massive Star Wars nerd. He voiced tragic hero Kanan Jarrus in the animated series Star Wars Rebels. Viewers aren't used to seeing his face in Star Wars movies, but he is very much part of the team -- and he's vocal about canon. Freddie is no casual fan, he will f-bomb shout you down in an epic canon rant, angrily explaining how The Force works and blasting fanfiction bullshit about "Gray Jedi." "Star Wars is for (expletive) kids," he says, and Freddie Prinze Jr. may have been channeling an R-rated version of George Lucas there. Lucas himself reportedly said Star Wars was a film for 12-year-olds, sharing lessons of friendship, honesty, trust, doing the right thing, living in the light, and avoiding the dark side. But Prinze is very much an adult at 43-years-old and still a huge Star Wars fan. He's as invested as a Star Wars fan gets, dropping truths from George Lucas and dissecting fan theories and complaints. “I did a Star Wars cartoon so even I get hate from Star Wars fans. But I'm like, look, you're just mad the franchise isn't aging with you. But that ain't how it works. The first one was for (expletive) kids. The second three were for different (expletive) kids and this one is for kids. You're just pissed off Han Solo gave Millennium Falcon to a girl. That's it! Because Luke Skywalker is Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty! He can talk to things that don't speak English, and he understands what they're (expletive) saying, he gets a fairy godfather instead of a fairy godmother, who teaches him how to be the best Jedi in the world in no time (expletive) flat. What do you think about Freddie’s comments?…

AUDIO CORRECTED: Is The Resistance Headed To Bakura? 54:46

5 years ago54:46

54:46

While millions tuned into to get their first glimpse of the Rise of the Resistance ride during Freeform’s Galaxy’s Edge: Adventure Awaits special, many likely missed a quote regarding the legendary planet of Bakura. What could this planet mean for The Rise of Skywalker? We’ll explain along with our Hot Takes, poll results, and more! The title of an Expanded Universe novel has been permanently etched into my memory. I remember sitting in the Star Wars section of Waldenbooks multiple times, debating whether or not to purchase it, or another novel that seemed interesting - Heir to the Empire. Eventually, I chose Heir to the Empire. But now, Bakura has reappeared in the minds of Star Wars fans who watched last week’s Galaxy’s Edge: Adventure Awaits special on Freeform. Here we go. https://www.inverse.com/article/59695-star-wars-9-leaks-bakura-leia-secret-base-galaxy-edge Could everything we think we know about the Force be changing? Could a new character from The Rise of Skywalker have an ancient connection to the Jedi? And is Wedge back in Star Wars? It’s time for Hot Takes! What is Project Luminous? https://www.starwars.com/news/nycc-2019-project-luminous-details-and-more-revealed-at-the-lucasfilm-publishing-panel While little is known about Project Luminous, Siglain showed a slide that stated, “The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s an energy field created by all living things. Until… PROJECT LUMINOUS, 2020.” He also confirmed the involvement of five all-star authors: Claudia Gray, Justina Ireland, Daniel José Older, Cavan Scott, and Charles Soule. Is There an Ancient Force Connection to Zori Bliss? https://www.inverse.com/article/59750-star-wars-9-theories-zorri-bliss-spoilers (A) huge clue Zorri’s backstory might be hiding in plain sight. Redditor u/thekoonw theorizes that not only does Zorri’s role in Episode IX mirror that of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, but insists that her costume is etched with the ancient Jedi language. Referred to by Star Wars Rebels’ Ahsoka Tano as the “old tongue,” the ancient Force language has appeared on the Jedi Temple of Lothal and in the Great Temple on Yavin 4. Though the old language has never been given an official name, it has appeared across several mediums of the Star Wars franchise, most notably in the Rebels animated TV series. The language, which was used by Force users across the galaxy, appears prominently on Jedi temples, but it’s also been seen on the walls of the Sith Temple on Malachor. However, the script is most prominent on Massassi’s Great Temple on Yavin 4, one of the moons orbiting Yavin. “Look at her costume and zoom in to see some kind of ‘language etched on her… belts?” the theorist writes. “Around her torso and her… golden metallic arm bands. The language looks familiar with the ‘old tongue’ language appeared in Rebels show.” Star Wars Adds Old Wedge Antilles To Book Cover https://screenrant.com/star-wars-resistance-reborn-wedge-antilles-book-cover/ Star Wars seemingly adds old Wedge Antilles to the cover of the upcoming novel Resistance Reborn. The book, which will be published in November, is part of the "Journey to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" line looking to capitalize on the hype and anticipation for this December's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. It fills in the gaps between The Last Jedi and Star Wars 9, depicting Rey, Finn, and Poe Dameron's first mission together as they work with General Leia to rebuild the Resistance following the Battle of Crait.

There’s a rumor for #TheRiseOfSkywalker going around that gets more and more intriguing the longer you think about it.

(David) HOT TAKES: The Chosen One was hanging out with the Emperor last week - until Disney made them stop. Could the Sequel Trilogy be rewriting one of the most famous comics series in Star Wars history? And will The Mandalorian actually give us the origin story for the First Order? It’s time for Hot Takes! Cinemablend.com: Is Anakin In Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker? Hayden Christensen Sightings Feed Rumors https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2479354/is-anakin-in-star-wars-rise-of-skywalker-hayden-christensen-sightings-feed-rumors Anakin Skywalker actor Hayden Christensen has begun to appear in public with Ian McDiarmid, sparking rumors that a certain Chosen One will return for the final installment in the Skywalker saga. I mean, if Emperor Palpatine can bounce back from a plummet down a Death Star shaft, why can't Anakin come back in some form? Silly question. He absolutely can. KUTV reports (via Comicbook.com) that both Christensen and McDiarmid visited a Salt Lake City children's hospital together while they were in the area for FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention. Some fans suspected that this act of kindness doubled as a marketing tactic, a notion that seemed fairly far-fetched until Disney cancelled the two actors' spotlight panel at the con. While all of this should be taken with at least a pound of salt, it's definitely an interesting turn of events. And if one of the film's actors is to be believed, we're in for more than just a few surprises. Let the speculation continue! Samuel the Hutt: Is Anakin coming back? Esquire.com: The Dark Empire Comics from the 90’s Might Hold a Spoiler For the Big Palpatine Twist in The Rise of Skywalker https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a28916176/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-dark-empire-comics-theory-palpatine-rey-twist-spoiler/ Released between December 1991 and October 1992, Dark Empire was a Dark Horse Comics series of comic books written by Tom Veitch and illustrated by Cam Kennedy. You may recognize some of the vibrant, moody art that appeared on the title pages of the bi-monthly series—it's become pretty iconic in its own right. The series picks up six years after the Battle of Endor, aka the central events of Return of the Jedi. Starring all the famous faces from the franchise except for Darth Vader (he's been toasted by this point), the series sees Luke and the gang fighting against a newly reborn Empire who is striking against a struggling Rebel Alliance. Han and Leia have a son, and the Emperor has mysteriously returned, despite his death at the end of Episode VI. Sound familiar?...If we're talking the enduring influence of Dark Empire, the rebirth of Palpatine is probably the story's greatest narrative feat. Bringing the slain Sith leader back to life isn't easy. The story sees Palpatine transfer his mind and consciousness into a series of clones. As expected, the spooky old dude is seeking immortality–a notion that, for any fan of the prequel trilogy, we know is very much canon to Star Wars. In Veitch's story, Luke falls for Palpatine's tricks, becoming the Emperor's new apprentice. Now, in our new continuity, Luke is very much dead. But it's not hard to imagine that Rey–especially with her dark duds and red lightsaber from the recent D23 trailer–may take Luke's place in this iteration of the story. It's Luke's sister, Leia, who actually sways the Luke and helps him overcome the Emperor, in the end. Perhaps we can anticipate the same sort of twist–except this time, it will be Ben Solo who rescues Rey from the Emperor's grasps and redeems himself once and for all. BB-N8: Is this where The Rise of Skywalker is headed? DigitalSpy.com: The Mandalorian reveals origin of the First Order https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a28920734/star-wars-tv-series-the-mandalorian-first-order-origin/ We already know a bit about its cast, its place in the wider Star Wars universe, and its role as the "freakier" side of the franchise, but now we know a little more about The Mandalorian's context – and how it will introduce the First Order. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the show's director Dave Filoni and creator Jon Favreau hinted that The Mandalorian will chart the origins of Supreme Leader Snoke's dictatorship, giving fans an insight into the First Order's not-so humble beginnings..."This doesn't turn into a good guy universe because you blew up two Death Stars," Filoni explained. "You get that the Rebels won and they're trying to establish a Republic, but there's no way that could have set in for everybody all at once. "You have in a Western where you're out on the frontier and there might be Washington and they might have some marshals, but sometimes, good luck finding one." Situating The Mandalorian right between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, Favreau added: "What could happen in the 30 years between celebrating the defeat of the Empire and then the First Order? "You come in on Episode VII, [and the First Order are] not just starting out. They're pretty far along. So somehow, things weren't necessarily managed as well as they could have been if they ended up in hot water again like that." You guys excited about this?…

While everyone was losing their mind over lightsaber duals, a hundred Imperial Star Destroyers, and Dark Rey, an important clue in the D23 Sizzle Reel for The Rise of Skywalker might have slipped past most fans. We’re going to try to figure out that red ribbon Rey is holding, and why it’s showing up all around the new canon. Plus, we’ll talk about some Hot Takes and more. Now that we’ve had a few days to review the D23 Sizzle Reel for The Rise of Skywalker, there’s a sequence within it that might indicate something very important. And even more, it’s connected to an experience at Galaxy’s Edge, and two novels recently released. Get ready, Reylos. We’re about to dig into this. HOT TAKES! JJ Abrams is talking about Rian Johnson and The Last Jedi. Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni keep hiding more and more easter eggs in The Mandalorian. And could the cave sequence in The Last Jedi hint at Mortis? It’s time for Hot Takes! J.J. Abrams Says ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Didn’t Ruin His Plans for ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ https://www.slashfilm.com/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-ending-wasnt-ruined-by-the-last-jedi/ There has been a ton of speculation regarding how J.J. Abrams will deal with the story developments from Star Wars: The Last Jedi. And for everyone who thought that Abrams had to fix or undo what Rian Johnson did with his Star Wars sequel in order to make the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker ending work, think again. In a red carpet interview from The D23 Expo last weekend, J.J. Abrams said, despite what some fans think, The Last Jedi didn’t change anything about the trajectory of the story that the director envisioned when he started working on Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Abrams told The Associated Press (via ET Canada): “The story that we’re telling, the story that we started to conceive when we did ‘The Force Awakens,’ was allowed to continue. Episode VIII didn’t really derail anything that we were thinking about." The Mandalorian Is Bringing a Deep Cut Star Wars Creature Back to Live-Action https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-mandalorian-is-bringing-a-deep-cut-star-wars-creatu-1837713272 The more we hear about The Mandalorian, the more it feels like executive producers Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni made it their own personal Star Wars playground. Even seeing only a few brief minutes, we already know the show solves the mystery of Willow Hood’s ice cream maker, brings back IG bounty hunter droids in a big way, references the Star Wars Holiday Special, and god knows what else. The latest revelation is that the show will reintroduce another deep cut Star Wars alien. In an interview with MTV News, Favreau confirmed that The Mandalorian will have blurrgs. What are blurrgs? They’re two-legged, big-headed creatures that people ride or use for labor. Kind of like a super ugly horse of the Star Wars universe. Blurrgs first appeared in Ewoks: The Battle of Endor, which is not canon, but Filoni made them canon when he introduced them in The Clone Wars animated series. They’ve also appeared on Star Wars Rebels and in a few video games. The Last Jedi's 'Clone Wars' Easter Egg May Hint at Rey's Arc in 'Star Wars 9' https://www.inverse.com/article/58907-star-wars-9-spoilers-last-jedi-clone-wars-easter-egg-mortis While everyone has been understandably preoccupied with Rey’s vision in the The Last Jedi — what with the “Dark Rey” comparisons, visions of the future, and what it all means — another fan noticed an Easter egg that hasn’t been discussed enough: the hand gestures Rey makes in the vision look eerily similar to those seen on Mortis in the Clone Wars animated series. Redditor u/In_eyes_of_munin posted an image comparing the two and the similarities are really creepy. Rey showcases all three of the gestures and it seems to come naturally to her.

Welcome Star Wars fans to Episode 84 of Tatooine Sons! It’s been a slow Star Wars week, so we’ve decided to take a deep dive into Star Wars trading cards of the past 4 decades… Or, we could talk about The Rise of Skywalker sizzle reel, The Mandalorian trailer, the Kenobi announcement, and more than we can probably fit into an hour. It's TIME for Tatooine Sons! On Saturday, guests attending the The Walt Disney Studios panel at D23 Expo 2019 were treated to a montage of classic Star Wars film moments, followed by new scenes from The Rise of Skywalker. Information quickly made its way to the general public, including the fact that the closing scene is of Rey wearing a Sith robe and wielding a double bladed red lightsaber. But when the footage was officially released to the public on Monday, non one was prepared for what they actually saw. HOT TAKES: While the BIG news out of D23 Expo is the sizzle reel for The Rise of Skywalker, there were several other MAJOR revelations during the Disney+ panel one week ago, including a new official segmentation of Star Wars history, cast and character announcements for The Mandalorian, and Ewan MacGregor FINALLY gives Star Wars fans a straight answer. Star Wars Canon Is Being Divided Up Into 3 Distinct Periods https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-clone-wars-returns-february-2020-and-all-the-other-1837525286 The Age of Republic, encompassing The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, The Clone Wars, and Revenge of the Sith The Age of Rebellion, encompassing Star Wars Rebels, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi The Age of Resistance, encompassing Star Wars Resistance, The Mandalorian, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker The Mandalorian Trailer Looks Stunning! Favorite Shot in the trailer BB-N8 Samuel the Hutt Jedi Guy Character Breakdowns https://ew.com/tv/2019/08/25/the-mandalorian-character-details/ The Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) Job: Bounty Hunter. Detail: Likes to work alone and is rather attached to his stuff (and, yes, he has another, real name…). Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) Job: A regional warlord of sorts. Detail: The Moffs were Sector Governors of the First Galactic Empire. But now that the Empire has collapsed, the governors are on their own, and some still have armies at their behest — and this one is rather ambitious. Cara Dune (Gina Carano) Job: Former Shock Trooper turned mercenary. Detail: Fought in the Galactic Civil War under the banner of the Rebellion. Greef Carga (Carl Weathers) Job: Leader of the bounty hunters guild. Detail: Asks The Mandalorian to take on an assignment that nobody else wants. IG-11 (voiced by Taika Waititi) Job: Bounty hunting droid Detail: Often gets mistaken for the famous IG-88 in the show (just as fans watching the trailer have mistaken him for IG-88 in real life). It’s FINALLY Official: Kenobi is Back! https://ew.com/tv/2019/08/23/disney-obi-wan-kenobi-star-wars-series/ Announcement reaction We talked in detail about this on the last episode, but what do you think about the revelation that the scripts have already been written, and that filming is set to begin in 2020? Kathleen Kennedy “Internally, we’ve wanted this for so long, but we know how much the fans want it too,” she said. “And we know we have to get it right.” McGregor “wanted to come back, and he’s so excited to play the character of Obi-Wan again,” Kennedy shared. “He really does embody who Obi-Wan is. And to think that Alec Guinness was really his mentor and now he’s stepping into those shoes for this series, it’s really exciting.” Check out our website: https://www.tatooinesons.com/ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/tatooine-sons Check out our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/tatooinesons Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TatooineSons Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TatooineSons Check out our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tatooinesons…

YES! We're FINALLY Getting a Kenobi Series! 1:08:59

6 years ago1:08:59

1:08:59

We know, we know… everyone’s heard the Kenobi rumors before. But this week, more specifics came out and were verified by several reputable sources. We’ll break down the rumors, talk about what Obi Wan has been doing on Tatooine, and what this series might be all about. For years, Star Wars fans have been clamoring for the return of Obi Wan Kenobi in his own film. A little over a year ago, the consensus was that we are the verge of an announcement, when Ewan MacGregor made an appearance at the red carpet premiere of Solo: A Star Wars Story. But the box office challenges of the film seemed to put a halt on future projects, Kenobi included. But recent reports have suggested the story may be poised to continue in serial form on Disney+. Now, a plethora of new sources are claiming that not only is the series a “go,” but that MacGregor may actually be directing several episodes. We’ve got the details, what has been happening with the Canon Kenobi, and 5 theories for the series. Jordan Maison of Cinelinx.com reported Thursday that “According to two separate sources, I’ve heard that Ewan McGregor has actually put pen to paper and inked a contract to return as the iconic Jedi Master. I heard word of this recently, but I was sitting on it until, out of the blue, a second source reached out to me (I hadn’t gone digging on this one) saying the exact same thing....Again, this shouldn’t come as a surprise considering how open McGregor has been in his desire to return to the Star Wars franchise. What’s interesting to me, however, is the timing. While development on the Obi-Wan project has been in the early stages since the beginning of this year (according to StarWarsNewsNet), locking in a contract means they’re really moving forward on it.” Update: Incredibly happy to add to this report that Deadline, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter have all independently confirmed our story from this morning. Hopefully this means we’ll get some official announcement from Lucasfilm sooner rather than later. Kenobi writes a journal for Luke Skywalker while in his exile on Tatooine For those fans going by nothing but the films, one of the biggest changes made to the Star Wars canon is the introduction of the journals of old Ben Kenobi. Their first appearance came in the pages of Marvel's Star Wars #7 (2015), the canonical comic book that has already made massive changes to the Star Wars mythology. This particular issue from Jason Aaron and Simone Bianchi began with the above passage. It revealed that during his years in exile on Tatooine, Obi-Wan made sure to record his experiences and wisdom for Luke Skywalker to someday read. Which he is shown doing in the cockpit of his X-wing, explaining where a great deal of Luke's knowledge about the Jedi and the Force came from. It's an unexpected method for Kenobi to essentially 'teach' his student, and one that provided several key insights into his life. Kenobi didn’t begin his time on Tatooine as a hermit Obi-Wan's journals confirm that he began his time on Tatooine living like most locals: frequenting the markets as much as any inabitant of the harsh world. So it's possible that Obi-Wan--sorry, Old Ben made connections and friend at first... before he realized using his gifts risked more for the innocent than it gained, and he committed to a solitary existence. Kenobi Brings and End to the Story of Shmi Skywalker He'd gone to Shmi Skywalker's grave to apologize for losing her son. He had never met her, knew her only from Anakin's stories, but Qui-Gon had made her a promise and Obi-Wan hadn't been able to keep it. As he stood there, looking at the stone, he felt an even deeper shame. Qui-Gon had left her there a slave, and Obi-Wan had done everything in his power to prevent Anakin's return. Kenobi Communes with Qui Gon Jin’s Force Ghost Obi-Wan let go of Ben Kenobi's house... and broke through the wall between life and death... His senses were sharp. He could hear every sound at once, and also none of them. It took him a moment to focus on the voice he wanted most to hear... Obi-Wan had only a moment before he was wrenched back into the physical world, but it was long enough to renew his hope. "Obi-Wan," said Qui-Gon Jinn. He was sure the voice was stronger this time. "Let go." Kenobi Wages War Against the Tusken Raiders Survival on Tatooine means bartering for what you need, and for Obi-Wan, that means communicating with the infamous Jawas. They're as shrewd as it gets, but their size makes them vulnerable to Tusken Raider attacks. If fans want some action to go along with their drama, look no further than Star Wars #15, when Obi-Wan takes on a gang of the scavengers all by himself--and without his lightsaber. No wonder they flee in fear when he makes his original Star Wars introduction. Kenobi Saves Luke’s Life More than Once The movies may suggest that Obi-Wan has merely observed Luke Skywalker as he grew from an infant to a teenager, but the Star Wars comics reveal he had a far more hands-on approach. After all, Tatooine is a harsh place for anyone, let alone two innocent moisture farmers raising a troublesome little Force-sensitive. In the pages of Star Wars #7 Obi-Wan steps in to use his Jedi Mind Trick on a band of Jabba the Hutt's 'tax collectors.' While helpful, Owen Lars eventually lets Obi-Wan know that he's aware of his interference, direct and indirect, in the above exchange (from Jason Aaron and Mike Mayhew's Star Wars #15). How could an Obi-Wan series even resist showing these never-before-seen moments? "Ever since you showed up, mine is the only house for kilometers that's never been attacked by Sand People. That was never raided by Jabba's thugs." "Sounds to me like you've been rather blessed, Owen. The Force works in mysterious ways." Kenobi Becomes Tatooine’s Most Wanted The former Jedi Master may have kept his lightsaber concealed when taking on a gang of Tusken Raiders, but Obi-Wan does have to use it in combat at least once. As we mentioned above, Obi-Wan used his gifts to keep the Lars family free from Jabba's intimidation (among other small acts of defiance). Over time, the strange old man living out on the edges of the Dune Sea became a problem Jabba needed to solve... by hiring a bounty hunter to find him, and kill him. Obviously the bounty hunter got more than he bargained for in Star Wars #20, but the idea that even BEN Kenobi had criminals who wanted him dead only adds to his legacy as a fearsome soldier. The Great Drought The early excerpts from the journals of old Ben Kenobi find him just a few years into his exile, when his life as a Jedi remains fresh in his memory. It also presents the greatest test of his heart, spirit, and duty to protect Luke unseen... thanks to the coming of 'The Great Drought.' A time when moisture is running out on Tatooine, Jabba's grasp on the weakest tightens, and people are dying every day because of it. As a Jedi who spent most of his adult life (seen through the Star Wars films and The Clone Wars) helping those in need, being forced to turn a blind eye to suffering takes a toll. The question at the heart of the above passage--how Obi-Wan Kenobi forced himself to abandon the galaxy--might be the most compelling in his entire life's story. It's told beautifully in the comics, but adapting it to the live-action canon would forge an even stronger connection between Obi-Wan's struggle and Luke Skywalker's own exile in The Last Jedi.

While speaking to Observer ahead of Knives Out‘s debut next month (when we’ll have additional coverage of the film and more from Johnson), he discussed the freedom both projects afford him as a storyteller. “I think that the fun and challenging part of it is to dive in, figure out what’s exciting and then figure out what it’s going to be,” he said. “We’re doing something that steps beyond the legacy characters. What does that look like? To me, the blue sky element of it is what was most striking about it. I know the way that I’m coming at it and what’s fun about it for everyone in Lucasfilm is figuring out, ‘what’s the next step?’ It really makes you think and figure out what the essence of Star Wars is for me and what that will look like moving forward.

The Emperor's Contingency Fully Revealed? 57:08

6 years ago57:08

57:08

Since the reset of Star Wars canon in 2012, the storytellers at Lucasfilm have been inserting an idea of “The Emperor’s Contigency” within books, games, animation, and more. But a recent set of leaks suggests that this idea is bigger than we could even dream. In this week's episode, we’ll tread carefully through the rumors and speculation. Since the release of The Force Awakens, Star Wars canon has been peppered with references to Emperor Palpatine’s “Contingency” plans for what would happen should he ever be defeated by his enemies. With the return of Darth Sidious in The Rise of Skywalker, is this contingency going to be fully revealed? A recent set leaks seems to suggest it’s bigger than anything we could imagine. According to Inverse.com: The Emperor’s evil plan in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is still coming into view, and the latest toy leaks may reveal even more horrifying details. Could this be our first look at the epic space battle coming in Episode IX? A report last week from MakingStarWars.net explained how the new Sith Troopers were actually Palpatine’s secret army, which had been hiding in wait on the edge of the galaxy in a Star Destroyer ship equipped with Death Star-level weaponry. According to MakingStarWars.net: The Sith Stormtroopers have been hidden away in the unknown regions. It is apparently hellish in those areas. The universe is “not entirely stable.” The area is dangerous and full of peril. Since Emperor Palpatine’s death the fleet has been dodging gravity wells and surviving in the wilderness of space in the unknown regions waiting to be found and to finish their mission. The red Sith Stormtroopers which belong to Palpatine are hidden away inside a massive fleet, probably as a final act so upon his resurrection he could dominate the universe once more. However, the Death Star II wasn’t Palpatine’s last project. These Star Destroyers are equipped with “planet destroying weapons like the one on the Death Star itself.” According to SWNN: In the Thrawn novel by Timothy Zahn, the Emperor worked with the Chiss Grand Admiral to explore the Unknown Regions of the galaxy in effort to prepare for the future of his Empire. The contingency plan hinged around Palpatine’s view that an Empire that could not protect its Emperor was not worthy to continue. At the Battle of Jakku, the Emperor’s plan proceeded in an attempt to destroy the planet, taking the Empire and its enemies down simultaneously. The remnants of his Empire would eventually be reborn as the First Order. But this is nothing new to fans who have been paying attention. What is new from this rumor, however, is the idea that the Emperor’s plans far exceed what we have seen on screen. Not only is Snoke just a puppet for the true leader of the Order, but the entirety of the First Order that we’ve seen thus far is a mere front, drawing the Resistance’s attention as the true threat, a “Sith Fleet” led by Palpatine himself, prepares for its assault from the Unknown Regions. How the Emperor survived the Death Star II reactor remains a mystery, but if true, this rumor points to a huge confrontation and some truly epic moments in the movie. One of the recently revealed ships from the Star Wars: Armada game from Fantasy Flight Games also catches our eye as a ship that comes close to matching this description (see below). The Onager-class Star Destroyer is an Imperial ship that also took inspiration from the Death Star superlaser, though at this point in the timeline, Imperial engineers probably couldn’t quite give it the same amount of firepower as the moon-sized battle station. Perhaps the Onager class was a precursor to the planet destroying ships mentioned in the rumor for TROS. According to Wookieepedia: The Onager-class Star Destroyer, also known as the Siege Breaker, was an alleged type of capital ship that utilized a kyber crystal superweapon in the capacity of a portable cannon. It was believed to be developed by the Galactic Empire and used kyber crystals powerful enough that could shatter mountains and anything but the strongest energy shields. If the Resistance is going up against firepower of this magnitude in TROS, they’re going to need some substantial firepower of their own. Thankfully, according to the expanded novelization of The Last Jedi by Jason Fry, the Resistance might have just the thing after all, providing there are any of them left….“As the Resistance U-55 orbital loadlifters were being destroyed by the Supremacy after they evacuated from the Raddus, General Leia Organa tried to imagine a miracle where Inferno Squad returned from their mission to find the Resistance’s allies in the Outer Rim Territories with a task force of Starhawks” (The Last Jedi Expanded Edition).

The Empire's greatest super-weapon, the Death Star was actually in the works long before Palpatine even officially founded the Empire. The initial plans were recovered from the Separatists in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and the tie-in novel Catalyst revealed that this was a deliberate gambit on Palpatine's part. He was able to argue that the Separatists were presumably working on a Death Star themselves, creating a phantom "arms race" in which the Republic began to secretly construct the first Death Star over the skies of Geonosis. Other canon material including new revelations from Thrawn: Treason reveal that the secrecy behind Project: Stardust along with some less-than-supportive Imperial leadership, a certain scientist’s sabotage, and a number of greedy and treasonous officers contributed to a two decade building process. Star Wars Fans Think This Line From A New Hope Is Proof Kylo Ren Will Turn Good SOURCE: Esquire.com The "Actually, Kylo Ren Is Good" theory has been bouncing around since The Force Awakens was released in 2015, but it's really getting some renewed traction this summer. Last week, a pretty interesting Reddit post discussed how it could be likely that Kylo Ren was acting as a double agent to infiltrate the First Order and kill the Emperor when he killed his father, Han Solo. It could simply be wishful thinking for anyone still shipping Kylo and Rey. But, considering these new Star Wars movies are mostly remixes of the original ingredients, it's not wrong to expect Episode IX to retread the old Skywalker redemption narrative with Kylo Ren. As one Reddit fan writes: I watched TFA last night and an exchange between Han and Leia reminded me of something. Han says something close to “it's too late for him, he has too much of his grandfather in him.” This is close to the conversation between Owen and Beru when they say “you can’t keep him here forever, he has too much of his father in him.” Owen responds with “I know, that’s what I’m afraid of.”...So obviously Luke never fully gave into the dark side and managed to redeem his father. Even after his struggle in the Last Jedi, it is clear that the Skywalker bloodline course corrects back to the light no matter how strong the pull of the dark is. Since the whole saga is about balance and finding peace in conflict, I think it’s fitting that this would apply to Ben as well. We’ve heard over and over about how IX will end all three trilogies, so why wouldn’t this theme be carried forward as well?

Could Finn Become a Jedi? 56:15

56:15

Nearly an hour into The Force Awakens, Supreme Leader Snoke tells Kylo Ren that there’s been an awakening, and then asks if he’s felt it. During the first viewing, it could easily be assumed that Snoke is talking about something happening within Finn. Of course, later in the movie it’s revealed that Rey is Force-Sensitive, and the story goes from there. But a very detailed fan theory suggests that Finn is ALSO strong in the Force. And a recent quote from John Boyega suggests that we could see something more about this in The Rise of Skywalker. Hot Takes: For more than 4 decades, fans have joked about a guy holding a boom mic on the set of Star Wars. Well, someone has found him. Disney announced what is – and what isn’t – coming to Disney+ on November 12th. And the power of social media has allowed us to see the first moments between two of our most beloved Star Wars actors. It’s time for Hot Takes! “Pink Shorts Boom Guy” Finally Speaks Out Over 40 Years Later Source: comicbook.com ( https://comicbook.com/starwars/2019/07/29/star-wars-behind-the-scenes-pink-shorts-guy-ken-nightingall/) Over the past few decades, fans have fallen in love with even the smallest details of the Star Wars franchise — including one fantastically-dressed crew member. A behind-the-scenes photo from Star Wars: A New Hope has had popularity online for years, which points out that one of the film’s boom mike operators was shirtless and wearing pink short-shorts while filming a scene. The identity of this man – who does not appear in the film’s credits – has remained a mystery for years… until now. ABC News recently tracked down the elusive “Pink Shorts Boom Guy”, a 90-year-old man named Ken Nightingall. Nightingall was one of nearly 100 British crewmembers who worked on A New Hope, and the conditions of the North Africa shoot were reportedly a lot to bear. “It was very, very hot,” Nightingall revealed. “…I was just doing my job.” While Nightingall’s wardrobe choice was certainly memorable, he reportedly was initially skeptical about what kind of impact the film would have. “Most of them working on the movie thought it was the biggest load of crap they’d ever worked on,” Nightingall’s son, Terence, shared. “They weren’t overly impressed.” Which Star Wars Movies & Series Will Be On Disney+ At Launch Source: CBR.com ( https://www.cbr.com/disney-plus-launch-star-wars-movies-series/) Upon launch, Disney+ will offer Star Wars Episodes I-VII (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens), and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Also available will be the entirety of the animated Star Wars Rebels and the first six seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. In addition, Disney+ will launch its own original series, Star Wars: The Mandalorian. Several Star Wars properties are unavailable at Disney+’s launch, and will remain on Netflix until the contracts expire over the course of the next year. Once they do expire, however, fans can expect Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Solo: A Star Wars Story. The eagerly awaited 12-episode seventh season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars will also arrive on Disney+ sometime in 2020.

The Final Location in The Rise of Skywalker 1:02:41

1:02:41

What is the final Location in The Rise of Skywalker? Last week, Kevin Smith was asked a throwaway question during an interview with IGN at San Diego Comic Con. What he said though, was anything but a throwaway. It’s got our heads spinning. And it’s all about the final scene of the Skywalker Saga. Is it Yavin IV? Endor? Dagobah? We discuss all for the final Location in The Rise of Skywalker we can think of and come up with an ending for the Skywalker Saga that we believe is worthy of being labeled, "Mind Melting!" Hot Takes: The Original Star Wars was screened last month. Could we finally be getting the chance to see it again in theaters? Since R2-D2 has been around for the entire Skywalker Saga, what are the chances that Crazy Uncle George’s original idea ends The Rise of Skywalker? And is Terbus about to be made canon? It’s time for Hot Takes! The Unaltered 'Star Wars: A New Hope' Could Be Headed Back to Theaters Source: Inverse.com ( https://www.inverse.com/article/57917-original-star-wars-a-new-hope-theatrical-release-unaltered Last month, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had a double-screening of A New Hope and Rogue One, and apparently, the cut of A New Hope was a 1981 70mm print of the film, pre-special edition. People who went to the screening said that “A New Hope” was on the crawl, but other than that, this was the original film...now that the 20th Century Fox merger is complete, and Disney and Fox are — at least where Lucasfilm is concerned — the same company, it seems like some of these distribution rights stuff could go away. In other words, the company that originally distributed and produced Star Wars — Fox — is connected to Lucasfilm again. And, if George Lucas is okay with the Academy showing an old 1981 print of A New Hope to film critic people in Hollywood, then, maybe, just maybe, a new re-release of A New Hope is coming. Should Star Wars 9 End With George Lucas’ Original R2-D2 Twist? Source: ScreenRant.com ( https://screenrant.com/star-wars-9-ending-r2d2-whills-george-lucas-twist/) Star Wars 9 ends the Skywalker Saga, and it should use George Lucas’ original twist ending for the Star Wars franchise to do so. Lucas had initially planned to finish the story with a big reveal featuring R2-D2, and even though he abandoned the idea there’s now a chance for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker to bring it back..."Originally, I was trying to have the story be told by somebody else; there was somebody watching this whole story and recording it, somebody probably wiser than the mortal players in the actual events. I eventually dropped this idea, and the concept behind the Whills turned into the Force. But the Whills became part of this massive amount of notes, quotes, background information that I used for the scripts; the stories were actually taken from the 'Journal of the Whills'.”...Later, Lucas expanded upon this, revealing that he believed the story of the Skywalker Saga was being relayed to a Keeper of the Whills by none other than R2-D2, taking place 100 years in the future. That makes some sense, since R2-D2 never had his memory wiped, so would recall everything, and it might also explain why R2-D2 is one of Star Wars' main heroes who frequently saves the day. The Journey to THE RISE OF THE SKYWALKER Begins with Star Wars Adventures #27 Source: IDWPublishing.com ( https://www.idwpublishing.com/the-journey-to-the-rise-of-the-skywalker-begins-with-star-wars-adventures-27/ ) IDW Publishing proudly announces that October’s Star Wars Adventures #27 will debut a three-part storyline telling an untold chapter set between The Last Jedi and the thrilling conclusion to the Skywalker saga, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker! Issue #27 will debut a three-part monthly storyline by writer John Barber and artist Derek Charm, featuring the mighty Wookiees. With the New Republic devastated, the First Order launches an attack on the planet Kashyyyk, and Chewbacca takes up arms to defend his people! “It’s a thrill and an honor to get to tell this story with the amazing Derek Charm,” says Barber. “Chewie’s one of my favorite characters ever, for as long as I can remember.

Is Thrawn a GOOD GUY? 1:04:19

The Sherlock Holmes of Star Wars is BACK with the release of Thrawn: Treason next week. We’ll dig into the excerpts that have been released, and discuss our thoughts on this enigmatic character. Plus, we’ll catch up on some Hot Takes and reviews and maybe see if we can talk mom into baking us a pie. Grand Admiral Thrawn is back! This time, he’s forced to solve a problem that Director Krennic is having with Project Stardust. But his old protege, Eli Vanto, brings news of a crisis facing the Chiss Ascendancy. Will Thrawn betray the Empire in response? Join us for our preview of Thrawn: Treason! From StarWars.com: Grand Admiral Thrawn faces the ultimate test of his loyalty to the Empire in this epic Star Wars novel from bestselling author Timothy Zahn. “If I were to serve the Empire, you would command my allegiance.” Such was the promise Grand Admiral Thrawn made to Emperor #Palpatine at their first meeting. Since then, Thrawn has been one of the Empire’s most effective instruments, pursuing its enemies to the very edges of the known galaxy. But as keen a weapon as Thrawn has become, the Emperor dreams of something far more destructive. Now, as Thrawn’s TIE Defender program is halted in favor of Director Krennic’s secret Death Star project, he realizes that the balance of power in the Empire is measured by more than just military acumen or tactical efficiency. Even the greatest intellect can hardly compete with the power to annihilate entire planets. As Thrawn works to secure his place in the Imperial hierarchy, his former protégé Eli Vanto returns with a dire warning about Thrawn’s homeworld. Thrawn’s mastery of strategy must guide him through an impossible choice: duty to the Chiss Ascendancy, or fealty to the Empire he has sworn to serve. Even if the right choice means committing treason. https://www.starwars.com/news/get-a-first-look-at-timothy-zahns-thrawn-treason-exclusive https://www.starwars.com/news/thrawn-treason-exclusive-excerpt https://io9.gizmodo.com/a-familiar-star-wars-face-returns-in-this-exclusive-thr-1836377684 Purchase YOUR copy of #Thrawn: Treason through TatooineSons.com, and help support family friendly #StarWars content! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1984820982/ref =as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1984820982&linkCode=as2&tag=tatooinesons-20&linkId=5d5e28657aba34bde40143d759774a2b…

Did Somebody Say "SITH TROOPERS"? We’ve been told that Snoke and Kylo Ren aren’t Sith. But the Star Wars Show revealed something this week that might have turned everything we expected about The Rise of Skywalker on its head. So… do you remember that “fake” (wink wink) poster for The Rise Of Skywalker that came out in early Spring? Just about everything in it has been confirmed by now. But I’m not sure any of us were really prepared for the juicy little nugget revealed this week on The Star Wars Show about the red Stormtroopers lined up along the bottom of it.

It’s a modern and more menacing look befitting its namesake. “It has some really unique aesthetics to it,” says Madlyn Burkert, Lucasfilm archivist, who is co-producing the exhibit. “And it has some subtle ties to previous stormtrooper designs, which I think fans will enjoy discovering.” There will be a selection of new “Early Release Edition” Sith trooper products debuting at SDCC, https://www.starwars.com/news/sith-trooper-star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-sdcc-2019 Wait… SITH TROOPERS?

Could the Chosen One Prophecy Be Wrong? 1:11:08

6 years ago1:11:08

1:11:08

Could the Chosen One Prophecy Be Wrong? The mythology of Star Wars was sent into hyperspace when Qui Gon Jinn first mentioned the prophecy of the “Chosen One” in The Phantom Menace. This prophecy has recently been fully revealed in the novel Master and Apprentice. But is there more to it than meets the eye? This week, we take a closer look at this central element of the Skywalker saga. In the 20 years since the release of Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, Star Wars fans have wondered and speculated about the infamous “Chosen One” prophecy. This prophecy has continued to appear in canon, and recently has been fully revealed in Claudia Gray’s Master and Apprentice. What is the “Chosen One Prophecy,” and could it be wrong; could it be just a part of a grand plan for the manipulation of the Jedi, constructed by the Sith themselves? (Check out last week's episode HERE!) What is “The Chosen One Prophecy?” Only through sacrifice of many Jedi will the Order cleanse the sin done to the nameless. The danger of the past is not past, but sleeps in an egg. When the egg cracks, it will threaten the galaxy entire. When the Force itself sickens, past and future must split and combine. A Chosen One shall come, born of no father, and through him will ultimate balance in the Force be restored. (from Master and Apprentice by Claudia Gray) Theory: Could the Chosen One Prophecy Be Wrong? (Source: Screenrant.com - https://screenrant.com/star-wars-9-palpatine-chosen-one-theory/) Putting all these pieces together, then, the Chosen One prophecy could well lie at the heart of Palpatine's master plan. He didn't just want to create, and rule, an Empire; he wanted to rule it forever. He knew he'd have to use Darth Plageuis' power to manipulate the Midichlorians and create the perfect host. But the complicating factor is that Palpatine wouldn't necessarily know where in the galaxy this powerful being had been born. Thus Palpatine gave the prophecy of the Chosen One to the Jedi, or perhaps even fabricated it altogether. He knew that, as the Jedi Order grew, the Jedi would organize themselves so that any Force-sensitives would be brought to the Temple. The Jedi would serve his goal, bringing his creation to Coruscant for training, and when they encountered this Force-born child they'd naturally make him a priority. If this theory is true, then Palpatine's millennia-long plan moved to its endgame nine years before Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, when he manipulated the Midichlorians and created the Chosen One. Presumably at this point in time he'd already positioned himself so that, should the child be brought to the Temple, he'd be able to subtly exert an influence; tie-in books have recently confirmed that, as a Senator, Palpatine had excellent connections with the Jedi. But here is where Darth Sidious' plan almost went wrong, because Anakin Skywalker was born on Tatooine, a Rim world outside the Republic. The Jedi never discovered him as an infant at all. Fortunately for Palpatine, the dark side of the Force was ascendant, and as a result events began to conspire against the Jedi. Qui-Gon Jinn - one of the few Jedi to have really studied the prophecies - stumbled upon the 9-year-old Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine, and brought him to the Temple. Palpatine must have been delighted; because Anakin hadn't been trained as a Jedi from an early age, he was that much easier to manipulate. Darth Sidious' plans were back on track for the next few years, until the moment when Anakin's body was so badly injured on Mustafar, and he ceased to be a viable host. That was when things all fell apart, and ever since then he's been trying to recover. Hot Takes! The English translation of the Japanese title of The Rise of Skywalker has fans wondering if there’s a future to the Skywalkers. Meanwhile, another star of the film talks of being emotionally overwhelmed by the story. And Lucasfilm has taken JJ Abram’s protege and put her in full control of a galaxy far, far away. It’s time for Hot Takes! Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker Gets a Different Title in Japan (Source: ComicBook Review - https://www.cbr.com/star-wars-rise-of-skywalker-different-title-japan/ ) According to the fan Twitter account Star Wars Stuff, the film's Japanese theatrical title is Star Wars: Dawn of Skywalker, suggesting a new beginning of sorts for the Skywalker family in the eagerly anticipated film. Keri Russell says Abrams' new Star Wars script made her cry (Source: ABCNews.com - https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/russell-abrams-star-wars-script-made-cry-63838551 ) Keri Russell says that when J.J. Abrams sent her his version of the script for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, it overwhelmed her. "When I read his script that he wrote I cried," she told The Associated Press in a recent interview. "I mean who knows what it will turn out to be and I hope it remains true to what he originally wanted." With similar statements having been made by Billie Lourd, Oscar Isaac, and Richard E. Grant, is this signs of good things to come, or just more pre-release hyperbole? The Rise of Skywalker Co-Producer, Michelle Rejwan Hired As Lucasfilm's Senior Vice President of Live Action Development and Production (Source: Variety Magazine - https://variety.com/2019/film/news/lucasfilm-star-wars-rise-of-the-skywalker-producer-michelle-rejwan-1203245459/ ) Kathleen Kennedy said that Rejwan would be responsible for “shaping the future in all areas of story development, from theatrical film development to live action content for Disney Plus. Kennedy also said that... “Working with Michelle over the last seven years as a producer on both The Force Awakens and now The Rise of Skywalker, I have seen first-hand her skills collaborating with writers and directors, and I’ve been incredibly impressed with her creative skills and her ability to manage the complexity surrounding these massive projects. I know the importance of building a team that you trust and have fun working with – it is paramount to our success." -Rejwan’s resume is definitely impressive including work on Star Trek: Into Darkness and Super 8. Now that this decision has been announced, what do you think this means for future productions in a galaxy far, far away?

Is Han Solo Rey’s Father? (And Other Rey Theories) 1:22:37

6 years ago1:22:37

1:22:37

Is Han Solo Rey’s Father? A rumor thread on Reddit has accomplished something that no Star Wars property has ever done before: unite Star Wars fans! (That’s what happens when you successfully dishonor Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Rey in one fell swoop). Here’s the theory… Rey is Han Solo's daughter, but she is NOT Leia Organa's daughter (and therefore is NOT a Skywalker). Leia and Han apparently became estranged when Leia began training with Luke. She didn’t complete her training and returned to Han. But Ben somehow knew of the affair (although not necessarily about Rey), and began acting out. After becoming completely uncontrollable, he was sent to his crazy religious zealot Uncle Luke, to help straighten him out. The rumor goes on to say that Lando Calrissian tells Finn and Poe something and they're floored - and Jason (MSW) believes this scene to be related. Makes some sense as Lando is Han’s best friend. This is supposedly how Finn and Poe find out who Rey is. He also specifies that they can’t tell Rey; that she needs to find out on her own.Jason connects this to how he has been told a flashback would reveal something completely “unexpected” about a “previous character.” We pull on these rumor-strings to see if this has any merit, along with a few of the other prominent Rey theories - including a fresh twist on the Rey Skywalker theory that includes an important development from Thrawn: Alliances.

Vanity Fair has released its traditional Star Wars preview issue for The Rise Of Skywalker. The images are amazing! It gave us some new info on Zorri Bliss (played by Keri Russell) and Allegiant General Pryde (played by Richard E. Grant). We saw the Knights of Ren on the new planet Pasaana (and watched as Vanity Fair had to correct a false report that Kylo Ren is seen fighting them in The Rise of Skywalker trailer.And then there's that picture of Luke Skywalker and R2-D2. What is that whole thing about? We’ break the whole thing down and give some speculation based on what we’ve seen, including why what we’ve seen may only be true - from a certain point of view.

Is Rian Johnson's Trilogy Dead? (NO!) 1:08:05

Is Rian Johnson's Star Wars trilogy dead? Last week, Disney announced its future slate of movies including three "untitled" Star Wars films being released December 2022, 2024 and 2026. Along with this announcement, came the returning questions about Rian Johnson's previously announced trilogy.YouTubers and bloggers immediately began declaring that these announced films could only be the highly anticipated series being written and produced by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the producers of the mega-hit TV series Game of Thrones. But could all of this really mean that Rian Johnson's trilogy is dead? Or is this nothing more than wishful thinking from haters of The Last Jedi? We separate fact from fiction and throw in a little informed speculation to determine what we believe is and isn't going on.

Hot Takes: Star Wars: Tie Fighter Comics series shifts the perspective in a very interesting way. Up until now, fans have almost exclusively seen Star Wars from the perspective of the Rebellion and the Jedi. But Tie Fighter aims to make heroes of the Empire. Source: https://screenrant.com/star-wars-tie-fighter-comic-rebels/ Pedro Pascal, who played Oberyn Martell on the fourth season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, believes that the fantasy mega series owes its popularity to Star Wars. “I see enormous parallels between the world of Star Wars and the world of Game of Thrones,” Pascal said. “Game of Thrones might not exist if not for Star Wars, in the way that this world-building genre [took] science fiction to a new level in the way that Game of Thrones takes fantasy to a new level. And the way that it represents such concrete realities that we live in, although the irony being that it’s science fiction and fantasy.” Games of Thrones is becoming more and more connected to Star Wars. Gwendoline Christie (who played Captain Phasma in the Sequel Trilogy) and Emilia Clarke (who played Qira in Solo: A Star Wars Story) are stars of the series. And of course the shows producers are currently “crafting” a series of Star Wars films. Source: https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-mandalorians-pedro-pascal-shares-the-common-thread-1834640225 Chris Avellone, best known for his work on the wildly popular Knights of the Old Republic video game, has been announced to be a writer for the highly anticipated Jedi: Fallen Order being released this November. And while this will make many Star Wars fans happy, his recent comments regarding The Last Jedi are sure to ruffle some feathers. In an interview with VideoGameChronicle.com, Avellone said: “I thought that portrayal of Luke Skywalker was very weak. I thought they gave him a scapegoat role that wasn’t merited and didn’t fit with his character, in my opinion. I like the fact that they were playing around with it, but at the same time I didn’t like the execution and I thought it could have been handled a lot better or differently.” Avellone went on to say that he felt that many of the characters and plot decision were subpar. “I also thought it was a case of comedy goes too far, side characters and massive detour plots were rapidly introduced… I liked what they were trying to do, I just didn’t like how it was executed.” Source: https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/jedi-fallen-order-writer-didnt-like-last-jedis-execution/ Check out our website: https://www.tatooinesons.com/ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/tatooine-sons Check out our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/tatooinesons Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TatooineSons Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TatooineSons Check out our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tatooinesons…

Star Wars Episode IX Cast Announcement! (Episode 35) 1:05:09

1:05:09

This week (and the next several if we're being honest) have been anything but normal! But we're finally able to share our thoughts on the official announcement of the cast for Star Wars: Episode IX! Of course, we're excited about the Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, and the rest of the regulars coming back. But there's a few new actors being brought in. Who do we think they'll be? And we're thrilled that Mark Hammil will be back! (Wait? Didn't he already confirm that when he like our tweet last week?) But nothing prepared us for the announcement that JJ Abrams would be bringing General Leia back with previously unused footage recorded for The Force Awakens. We'll share why we're both excited, and a little nervous about this. tatooinesons.com Twitter: @TatooineSons Facebook: facebook.com/tatooinesons YouTube: YouTube.com/tatooinesons Proud member of the Star Wars Commonwealth Podcast Network: starwarscommonwealth.com…

As of June 1, 2018, the domestic box office take for the film is only $128 million. Just a few weeks ago, the projections had it doing $170 million in the first weekend. Is Star Wars in trouble? Solo is a deep dive into Star Wars lore. There are dozens of Easter Eggs in the film. Of course, Darth Maul's appearance and L3 becoming the "brains" of the Falcon are some big ones. Other than those, here are our favorites! The opening of Solo is an emotionally charged scene where Han is separated from his true love, Qi'ra, on Correllia. Han goes on to join the Empire and learn to fly. Qi'ra becomes a high up in Crimson Dawn. What if these two swapped places? Why is Solo underperforming at the box office? 1. Bad time of the year 2. Too soon after TLJ 3. Boycott Solo 4. Other (comment) https://twitter.com/TatooineSons/status/1000031908808478721…

In an interview on Happy, Sad, Confused, Simon Pegg said, "I know what J.J. kind of intended or at least was being chucked around. I think that’s kind of been undone slightly by the last one. There was some talk of a relevant lineage for her." In a recent interview, Rian Johnson share thoughts on his new trilogy: "...part of the excitement of it is really trying to hone in on 'what is Star Wars?' What was Star Wars for me the very first time I saw it when I was a little kid? Once you get past the things that are the iconography of Star Wars - once you say, okay, if it doesn't have the Falcon; if it doesn't have someone with Skywalker as their last name; if we don't go to Tatooine, what is it? What is it at its essence? It's a really exciting question, and I think it's something that has to be answered at some point. So let's figure it out."

Welcome to Tatooine Sons: A Star Wars Podcast! Samuel the Hutt an BB-N8 are on Spring Break hanging out at the beach! So, we decided this would be an AWESOME opportunity to look back at a few of our most interesting conversations from previous episodes! First, we share our thoughts on the crazy change of direction that we experienced with The Last Jedi. One of the most common criticisms of Episode VIII is that it seemed to diverge so much from everything we thought we knew after Episode VII: The Force Awakens. We discuss how this happened in the same way between the original Star Wars: A New Hope, and Episode V: The Empire Srikes Back.( http://bit.ly/starwarsleftturn) What do you think? Tweet to us @tatooinsons using #LastJediGreat with your thoughts! Next, have you heard that Rian Johnson, the writer and director of The Last Jedi, let a 12 year old boy name the porg on the Millennium Falcon? It's an amazing story about one Star Wars fan helping to make another's dream come true. BB-N8 overcame his fear to take a chance on a dream, and it was rewarded! Listen to this amazing story from Episode 10!
