I had an insanely fun recording with @starwarsmean2u.bsky.social and @kelly-knox.com yesterday. I fear the non-geeky vibe that I give off in normal circumstances may have slipped. For just a minute. Or so.

Had a blast talking Star Wars with @starwarsmean2u.bsky.social. Some interviews just feel like a chat between friends. Looking forward to sharing this one.

Boba Fett? Boba Fett? Where? Here! Inspired by our chat w/ mega collectors Lisa Stevens & Vic Wertz, we hunt for Boba Fett's first app in The Faithful Wookiee from the Star Wars Holiday Special! Does it hold up? What does it add to the mythos? Why is Luke so trusting? New ep wherever you podcast!

This week, we're excited to geek out with the owners of The Imperial Archives, one of the largest Star Wars collections in the world - Lisa Stevens & Vic Wertz! We chat Kenner prototypes, developing @thesagamuseum.bsky.social & more Star Wars than you can swing a laser sword at! Podcast up now!

This week @darthinternous.bsky.social (Random House Worlds Sr. Editor) chats his Star Wars journey, the origins of the From A Certain Point of View anthologies, Mask of Fear, Revenge of the Sith and how he went from fan to creative custodian for Star Wars books! Up now, wherever you podcast!

The hardest part of having a story about peace in Star Wars is the problem of narrative! In our latest podcast ep, @chriskempshall.bsky.social shares what one of those stories could look like and he's right, it would be a tough sell!

It's the first Beaumont Kin Day! A year ago today 'Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire' was published in the UK (and on the 7th in the US) and readers got the chance to discover just how important Beaumont was to the book he had 'written'. It was a secret we'd carefully guarded.

As an aside I’m very tempted to try and declare the anniversary (using 4th July as it was the UK release which came first) of the release of ‘The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire’ as being ‘Beaumont Kin Day’. Reckon we can turn it into a weird Star Wars holiday?

How are you going to Star Wars this week?

Branding and Fascism have a long history together - but why? @chriskempshall.bsky.social chatted Star Wars, fascism and history with us and reveals just how important branding is to a fascist state! New ep up now wherever you podcast!

Author @chriskempshall.bsky.social (The History & Politics of Star Wars) joins us to talk Star Wars, fascism & the real world! He's great at taking historical subjects & viewing them through a Star Wars lens, which, let's face it, is just a more digestible way of understanding the world today!

Oh nothing, just a light topic today - @chriskempshall.bsky.social chats about his book "The History and Politics of Star Wars", fascism in Star Wars & our world, Leia's revolution, what fascists leaders have in common & why they like branding so much! Trust me, it's more fun than you'd think!

Today, Joey from Outpost 77 joins us to share what Star Wars means to him! We chat starships, family ties to the original trilogy & his outer rim styled cosplay retreat Outpost 77! New episode up now wherever you pod!

If a mushroom it resembles It's where the senate assembles If the dome goes to the ground It's the executive building you've found

Star Wars Celebration celebrated the stars of Star Wars as well! @vanessamarshall.bsky.social shared with us one of her favorite moments where Manny Jacinto got his moment & it's a pretty special! Whether you went or watched from home, what was your favorite moment or announcement from SWCJ2025?

Keep distressing.

We’re back! It’s the Episode Between Episodes featuring: our favorite moments with Juan Montes, how we Star Wars’d this week, and special guests Cassandra & Tracy from The Forest Moon Festival! A celebration of the Redwood Region’s first moon of Endor! Tune in everywhere you pod!

How did you experience Star Wars for the first time? In the theaters? At home? Juan Montes first saw the original trilogy on VHS tapes his dad bought at Fry’s Electronics. An all new ep, up now wherever you podcast!

I think Tony Gilroy was able to do what he did not because he's a fan of Star Wars, but because he's a fan of history. He's a fan of the human tales, a fan of conveying challenging and intriguing concepts to an audience. Then he understands & respects how to tell it in the language of Star Wars!

Which Star Wars character would be the absolute worse to have as a coworker? For Emmy nominated producer, Juan Montes, no question at all – C-3P0 would be a DISASTER in a live TV control room! Listen now & find out who would be the best at it! New ep up now!

I feel like in the next year and half we'll see this scene in a Star Wars show, novel or comic book: NEW ALLIANCE PILOT: Nah, my mom was a farmhand named Bix. And I'll be there for it!

Where's the strangest place you've taken Star Wars? Our guest this week, Juan Montes, took an AT-ST to an Alaskan Dry Cabin to experience that Hoth Attack feeling! Bonus points if you have pics! New Episode up now wherever you podcast!

If you liked Andor, check out this book that highlights the rise of fascism in the real world as reflected in the Star Wars saga! You see how Tony Gilroy pulled from history for this galactic tale! @chriskempshall.bsky.social joins us in a few weeks to talk about it, so let's hear your questions!

We all knew that Cassian's end was going to be tragic, that last shot still brought Hope to Andor's end! #StarWars

Emmy Nominated Producer, Juan Montes shares what Star Wars means to him! From his dad getting him the original trilogy on VHS at Fry’s in San Francisco, to creating Hoth scenes in rural Alaska, to loving the ART of Star Wars (Hint - It’s Cinema!) Join us anywhere you pod!

Every collector has their favorite item! But what’s that ONE Star Wars item you regret not buying when you had a chance? For me it was the TVC Rebels Ghost ship from @hasbropulse.bsky.social !...I mean, just look at it! With the Ghost Crew too! (SMH in regret)

New this week! @marknewbold.bsky.social (from @fanthatracks.com) shares what Star Wars means to him! Turning his fandom into a career in fan-journalism he interviewed Irwin Kershner for @starwarsinsider.bsky.social . From A New Hope to Andor, Mark loves it all & his energy itself is a force!

Andor Season 2 premieres tomorrow! Can't wait to see what comes of the puppeteer of the rebellion, Luthen! He's like the other side of the Palpatine coin when it comes to manipulation! Who's the character you're really excited to see what's next for them?

We're one day away from Andor Season 2! A perfect time to reflect on the life lessons that season 1 has taught us!! #StarWars
