Happy Labor Day

 Today is the Labor Day holiday here in the United States. So, with that in mind, here are a few thoughts I have about the state of labor in the Star Wars universe. Enjoy!

Younglings

I’ve had some thoughts about Star Wars and kids lately, and I should have sat down and written out what was in my head.  Instead, I give you this babbling mess that really could use another edit. But oh well. It’s late, I want to get this out, so here ya go!

Bad Star Wars Ideas

I haven’t had any good ideas about Star Wars this week, thus the lack of shows. BUT, that doesn’t mean I haven’t had any BAD ideas about Star Wars!  Here are five thoughts I have about our favorite franchise that aren’t so great. Enjoy!

The George Lucas Sequel Trilogy (part 2)

Today's episode is a follow up to the last episode of LT12P.  More of the discussion George Lucas had with James Cameron, where George spoke about what he would have done with a sequel trilogy, has been released.  And like in the last episode, I share my thoughts about it, line by line.  But, to be honest, all I can some up with is easily summed up as "whaaaaaaaaaat?".




Here is the article from IO9 I mentioned...

The George Lucas Sequel Trilogy

Some quotes from George Lucas about his planned Star Wars sequel films have hit the internet.  It's only 7 sentences, but there is a lot to think about there.  In today's episode, I go over what George "The Maker" Lucas had to say, line by line, and share with you my Hot Take!

Dave Filoni

Today’s episode starts as an excuse for my lack of shows this week, then turns into a mess of thoughts involving Dave Filoni. Enjoy!

But. But! BUT!!! Part Two

I know that in the last episode I said I wouldn't complain anymore, but...  I have another complaint!  I promise, I am not turning sour on you. In a way, this is just a continuation of my previous complaint!  None the less, I had to get this out!  - Thanks for putting up with me!

But. But! BUT!!!

As you know, I'm normally a pretty positive Star Wars fan.  Well today, that all changes! I have a gripe. I have a complaint. I have something that really ticks me off today!  So, instead of holding it in and letting it fester, I'm sharing it with you.  Have a listen, and tell me what you think. Thanks!

Happy Belated Saint Patrick's Day!

As promised, here it the episode I started on Saturday, but because I was so lazy (see yesterday's show for details on THAT!), I didn't get around to publishing it on time.  Better late than never though, right?

Anyway, this episode is a "what if" of sorts related to Obi-Wan Kenobi and his inability to tell Luke the truth in A New Hope.  And yes, I find a way to relate it to Saint Patrick's Day.  Enjoy!

Star Wars Has An Oscar Problem

Star Wars hasn't won an Academy Award in 37 years.  Why is that and what can be done about it?  I have some ideas!  Here's my "hot take" on Star Wars and it's Oscar Problem!

Weird Star Wars

This episode started out as my "Gut Reaction" on the latest episodes of Star Wars Rebels, but it turned into my treatise on what Pablo Hidalgo has called "weird Star Wars".  Have a listen and let me know what you think.  Thanks!

That's Not So Surprising

I was going to comment on the new episodes of Rebels today, but when thinking about them, another thought came to mind.  Still, if you haven't watched the newest episodes of Rebels, you may want to stay away from this episode for now.  You've been warned!

Black Panther

Spoiler Alert! Do not listen to today's episode until after you've seen Black Panther!  Why? Because I link the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to the past and the future of Star Wars films!  Really!

Gut Reaction: SOLO Trailer... Kinda

Here are my initial thoughts on the new trailers for SOLO. 

Sorta, kinda. 

I start on this topic, but actually spend most of the episode discussing another topic that's been on my mind quite a bit recently...  Is Star Wars still special?  Have a listen to hear what I mean, and then let me know what you think!

My Star Was Addiction

Hi, my name is Tim, and I’m an addict.  Today, I take a serious look at my Star Wars addiction.  They said admitting you have a problem is the first step towards recovery, so maybe, hopefully, this episode will be the beginning of my journey.  And no, I’m not joking around here, please have a listen to today’s episode and you’ll learn more about my problem.

2018: The Star Wars Year Ahead

So, what can we expect from our favorite franchise in the year ahead?  Well, here are five predictions I have for 2018.  Be warned, these are made with tongue firmly planted in cheek, so if any of these actually come true, I’ll eat a Porg!  Enjoy!

Gobble Gobble Gobble

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  In what I hope will become an annual tradition lasting many years into the future, todays episode is a list of some of the things in the world of Star Wars I am happy for.  I did this last year (which you can listen to HERE), and am doing it again, this time with a new items of thankfulness! (That makes sense, right?)  Enjoy!

The Next 10 Years Of Star Wars Story Telling

Last week, Kathleen Kennedy mentioned on The Star Wars Show that the Lucasfilm Story Group is currently working on laying the groundwork for the next ten years of Star Wars stories.  And while it is fun to speculate what those stories may be, I'm interested in the new and interesting ways Lucasfilm will tell them.

Beyond the normal way of telling tales, such as novels, comics, television show and games, what other story telling tools could we see in the next decade?  Here are 5 possible ideas I came up with!  Enjoy!

The First Star Wars Retconn?

After forty awesome years, I can still find new things in the old classics that are the Original Trilogy. This is amazing!

Anyway, after reading an online discussion about retconns, it dawned on me that the very first Star Wars retconn was right in front of our eyes, and we didn't even see it!  What am I going on about?  Have a listen and find out!

Is It Me, Or Is It The Movie?

So, I had a "Star Wars problem" today, for lack of a better phrase.  I really can't explain it without spoiling the point of today's episode, so please, just take 5 minutes to have a listen!  Thank you.
