#063 - The Last Jedi Novelization Review
March 13, 2018 15:17 - 1 hour - 83.7 MBThis week, we’re discussing Jason Fry’s highly-anticipated novelization of The Last Jedi. And since we’ve already talked about The Last Jedi quite a bit, discussing themes and character arcs in previous episodes, we’re going to structure things a bit differently for this episode.

November 06, 2017 22:45 - 58 minutes - 80.9 MBIn The Force Awakens, Rey says she thought Luke Skywalker was a myth. Separated by only a few decades, the hero of the Rebellion and torchbearer of the Jedi Order has become less a rarified celebrity and more of a Paul Bunyan-esque tall tale character.

October 23, 2017 11:49 - 57 minutes - 79 MBThis week, we are bringing you another installment of Star Wars Film School. Since no film or franchise emerges out of a cultural vacuum, we think it’s worthwhile to take a look at some of the films and filmmakers who inspired and continue to breathe life into our beloved galaxy far, far away.

September 25, 2017 11:16 - 1 hour - 95.5 MBThis week, we are bringing you another installment of Star Wars Film School.

August 28, 2017 13:03 - 59 minutes - 81.7 MBWith Force Friday II set to kick off this weekend, we’re about to witness the launch of the Journey to The Last Jedi campaign. We’re getting two new novels this coming week, Delilah S. Dawson’s Phasma novel, and Claudia Gray’s Leia: Princess of Alderaan. We will, of course, be featuring discussions of both of those novels in the coming weeks, but we thought this was a good time to revisit one of Claudia Gray’s earlier novels, one that is also focused on Leia: Bloodline. Set 28 years ABY--jus...
