Cornell (Author, Shoeshine Boy & Cigarette Girl) we dive into the "can't miss" moments from the Star Wars movies! These are the moments that if you had to use the bathroom and missed a key scene, it could drastically change your understanding of what was going on a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away! Then we take it one step further and show what could have been if that moment was taken out of the story all together! What's the moment from Episode II Attack of the Clones that highlights the Darth Vader in Anakin Skywalker? What's the moment in Episode V The Empire Strikes Back that could have a drastic difference in Return of the Jedi if it never happened? I think you get the idea! We cover moments from The Phantom Menace, The Last Jedi, Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope! We look at Star Wars storytelling structure, Twitter and Instagram @StarWarsMean2U Star Wars may have the largest and most diverse fanbase in all the galaxy—but every fan has their own certain point of view.

    Is Star Wars Folklore? It's Cantina Chatter!

    https://www.teepublic.com/user/what-does-star-wars-mean-to-you?utm_source=designer&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=S-U65Jr9ZKo This week in our Cantina Chatter we chat about if Star Wars has transcended its creator, George Lucas, to folklore status or, as we discussed as inspired by Taylor Swift, does it now belong to everybody? It all started when Dave “clutched his pearls” at the Mandalorian and Grogu Superbowl Commercial. Is that too Earth bound for Star Wars? Is that “beneath the franchise”? Hold on, don’t send us complaints yet! As we dig deeper, we look at how Star Wars shows up in pop-culture (Muppets, Sesame Street, Family Guy) in ad-integrations (Volkswagen, PSA’s) and in fan generated content (Disney+’s Star Wars Visions, fan films, STEM). Star Wars. We also chat about Denise AKA Mandalorian Momma and what we learned about talking about what Star Wars means to her! Also, Dave’s Darkside makes a return! This time he heads into the Darkside Cave to take on the importance of movie budgets to fandom and enjoying a movie!

    Is the Force in STAR WARS: ANDOR? - Catina Chatter

    The Force isn't in the show ANDOR explicitly, but is it implicitly? Does the Force have a hand in shaping not just Force-users, but non-Force Users as well? After our conversation with DB from Hyperspace Heroes, one of the things we came away with was his comment that ANDOR still felt very Star Wars, even though it didn't have the Force in it barely at all! Plus today is Revenge of the Fifth!
