Star Wars: Rise of Filoni

Star Wars: Rise of Filoni. Now that Lucasfilm has Dave Filoni as a new leader, John & Matt chat about the opportunities for a new Star Wars era of storytelling and audience engagement. They also debate if Disney has smartly set him up for success by installing him at a critical point when so many fan-favorite character projects are about to launch.

Star Wars History

Star Wars History. Obi-Wan Kenobi famously counseled Luke that “many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.” Our own points of view are also shaped by our understanding of history and how it’s taught to us. With that in mind, Matt and John explore how the varying versions of history taught on a thousand thousand worlds would have shaped galactic conflict, relationships and bureaucratic management through the history of a galaxy far, far away….

Writing in Star Wars

But what was it like to write it, and further…how do you read ancient texts from a thousand thousand worlds in a galaxy full of tech that talks back and uses universal characters? John & Matt try to figure out handwriting, inherited knowledge, and reading in a Galaxy Far, Far Away. You’ve found the best Star Wars podcast with one-of-a-kind discussions in the spirit of fun!

An Alternate Episode VIII

An Alternate Episode VIII. Ten years ago, in movie theaters down the street…. Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens relaunched the franchise with insane box office returns, a galaxy load of goodwill, and the promise of questions answered in the NEXT episode. But many were bewildered by the path they wandered down in Episode VIII. Jedi Masters Matt and John, joined by their fellow Jedi Master Yancy, have meditated deeply to open the doorway of the past and explore what THE LAST JEDI could have been if they had been in the writers room. Removing racing stripes is the first change. New ships are everywhere. Regardless of how much you loved Episode VIII, or even if you didn’t, this issue of AGGRESSIVE NEGOTIATIONS promises you a lot of fun as three lifelong fans dedicate themselves to opening the mystery boxes JJ Abrams left behind to share what they thought could be inside….

This Podcast uploads weekly. It discusses various Star Wars topics across books, movies, and TV shows. It’s a half hour to an hour in length. So you can listen to it in the car. On the way to or from work. Which is what I do. Matt and John are excellent hosts. They are very knowledgeable about everything Star Wars. I recommend this podcast to any Star Wars fan.
Tons to mull over

This is where the guys are great & enjoy the longer timed podcast. I’ve been listening for awhile now and in the beginning the guys led into their face in relation to the Star Wars topic and while that may not be very popular sure do wish they would lien into their face more often. Keep up the great work fellaz! Michael Pittsburgh, PA
