    This episode spotlights the character of Leia Organa from both the original and sequel trilogies as well as all media set around and in between those eras.

The hosts explore the depiction of each of these enormous creatures and how they mix the appeal of the unknown with the dangerous and sublime, with a size that is barely comp...

    Episode 079 - Digital Likenesses, AI, and Recasting in Star Wars

    In this episode, Connor and Alex discuss the varied ways the Star Wars has handled the depiction of characters in visual media when the original actor who played them has aged out of the role - from recasting, in the case of Han Solo, to digital de-aging, to wholesale CGI replacement of an actor’s face with a recreation of another actor’s.In general, our hosts are more in favor of letting a new actor portray the same character rather than using technology to recreate another person’s likeness...

    Episode 077 - Fanediting in Star Wars

    In this episode, Connor takes the lead and explores the subject of fanediting in Star Wars - the process of taking the raw footage of media and rearranging, editing, altering, and adjusting scenes, audio, and more. We explore both the subject of George Lucas as the very first ‘faneditor’ and review the continual updates the original trilogy in particular have received via CGI since the 90s as well as those prominent fan projects that have iterated on those changes (often to roll them back or ...

    Episode 076 - Culture, History, and Context for the Skywalker Saga

    In this episode, the hosts take a step back from an in-universe perspective and analyze what was happening in the world during the release of each of the trilogies of movies that comprise the Skywalker Saga. They explore the influence of 70s cinema and the post-Vietnam era on the production of the original trilogy, which was released in the divided world of the Cold War period; the turn-of-the-millennium release of the prequel trilogy right around the birth of the Internet and the rise of glo...
