Episode 397 - The Birth of Star Wars - May 1976 to May 1977
In May of 1976, things looked pretty bleak for George Lucas' big space fantasy movie. It was over schedule, over budget, nothing worked and the studio was getting nervous. Somehow in 12 months, everything changed and the movie opened to sell out crowds and became the phenomenon that continues today. This week we are talking about all the miracles that helped make Star Wars become Star Wars.
So get your A New Hope punchcards out, listen today and celebrate the love!

Episode 394 - PODRACE MONTH - The Many Versions Of The Podrace
As we come into the final lap of PODRACE MONTH here at Blast Points, we're taking the time to examine something that has confused us for decades, the many versions of the podrace. In 1999, the podrace dazzled fans when The Phantom Menace arrived in theaters but there were some who said it was too long. So when the DVD arrived in 2001, what did George Lucas do? He made it even longer. And there were deleted scenes on the disc that were even longer still! And then it changed for the blu ray and then it changed again for the 3D release, Listen as we go over as many changes as we can and wonder how we'll survive this year's big rerelease! So yell some nonsense for Jabba, celebrate the love and listen today!

Customer Reviews
Thanks, Blast Points
Tuning in to Blast Points is like spending time with old friends, chatting about all things Star Wars. While I consume a lot of fan-generated Star Wars content, Jason and Gabe stand out with their captivating deep dives and humor tailored perfectly for fans like me. Each new episode has become the highlight of my week, offering a delightful mix of nostalgia and fresh insights. Thanks Threepio, I mean Blast Points!
It’s a Wagyu steak, cheesy Gordita crunch mouthful of Star Wars goodness.
Just a couple middle aged guys talking about the most wonderful thing in the world for hours. Even the most hardcore fan will find something new. Whether you want a deep dive into the audio differences of a SINGLE scene across every known release or a head to head list of the best babies in Star Wars…these guys got you covered.
This is THE Star Wars Podcast you’ve been looking for
Holy Banthas! I’m late to this podcast but this is THE Star Wars podcast I’ve been looking for. Our hosts are witty, knowledgeable, and I truly appreciate the focus on the more arcane and obscure elements of Star Wars. Beautiful editing, I’m loving the well-selected relevant clips mixed in seamlessly with our hosts (oftentimes only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise). Thank you so much guys, I can’t wait to continue listening as well as explore the backlog. MTFBWY
