    Two Guys Walk Into a Cantina: Brendan Wayne & Matthew Willig Join Twin Suns

    What happens when the grandson of John Wayne and a Super Bowl champion walk into a cantina? Apparently, one hell of a Star Wars podcast. This week on Twin Suns, John welcomes two extraordinary guests: Brendan Wayne, the man who helps bring Din Djarin to life in The Mandalorian, and Matthew Willig, former NFL player, Super Bowl champion, and the imposing Hogsbreth in The Mandalorian and Grogu. But this isn't your typical Star Wars interview. It turns out Brendan was a fan of Matt's long before they ever shared a film set. What began with USC football eventually became an unlikely Hollywood friendship, complete with handwritten thank-you notes, convention shenanigans, and a certain shirtless photograph that Brendan proudly displays at his autograph table. We also dive into their unforgettable confrontation in The Mandalorian and Grogu, Brendan's remarkable dedication to the character of Din Djarin, and a spirited discussion about James Bond, Richard Kiel's Jaws, and why Hogsbreth deserves another shot at the Mandalorian. Along the way, there are stories about Kurt Russell, Quentin Tarantino, Jon Favreau, the legendary Red Lion Tavern, and enough testosterone to power a Star Destroyer. What begins as a conversation about Star Wars becomes something much more interesting: two friends celebrating their careers, their shared experiences, and the unexpected connections that make this galaxy so special. Come for the Mandalorian. Stay for the bromance. This episode is PG-13. Send us Fan Mail @twin_suns_of_starwars

    Bryant V: An Inside Man, from Star Wars Fan to Star Wars Crew

    What happens when a lifelong Star Wars fan gets the opportunity to help bring the galaxy far, far away to life? In this special episode of Twin Suns of Star Wars, John flies solo for a conversation with his good friend Bryant V., whose film career has taken him from television to the crews behind The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka, and The Mandalorian & Grogu. Bryant shares his behind-the-scenes experiences, the extraordinary craftsmanship behind Star Wars productions, and what it's like to work alongside the very people who helped shape your childhood. The conversation also explores Bryant's remarkable Master Replicas collection, his passion for collecting autographs, and unforgettable encounters with Hayden Christensen, Jon Favreau, Harrison Ford, and others. But beyond the collectibles and Hollywood stories, this episode is about something even more meaningful: friendship, generosity, and the wonderful connections that can come from a shared love of Star Wars. Two friends, plenty of stories, and a reminder that sometimes the greatest thing about Star Wars is the people it brings together. Send us Fan Mail @twin_suns_of_starwars

    Special Guest David Acord: The Sound of a Galaxy

    What does it take to give a galaxy its sound? And how do you give the most beloved little green guy in the universe his voice? This week, John and Nelly welcome David Acord, the extraordinary sound designer and supervising sound editor at Skywalker Sound, whose work has helped shape Star Wars for more than two decades. But this isn't your typical Star Wars interview. We start long before Skywalker Sound, exploring David's childhood love of horror films, his unlikely introduction to Hollywood on 12 Monkeys, and the remarkable journey that eventually brought him into the Star Wars galaxy. From there, we explore the art of sound design, the power of silence, how he preserves the unmistakable sound of Star Wars, his collaboration with Tony Gilroy on Andor, and, of course, the fascinating story of how Grogu found his voice. David also shares his experiences working on The Mandalorian and Grogu, his appreciation for Star Wars fans, and the creative challenges of bringing imaginary worlds to life. It's a conversation about movies, creativity, storytelling, and the sounds that make us believe in a galaxy far, far away. Come for Grogu. Stay for David Acord.

    The Last Jedi Roundtable: A Love Letter

    For nearly nine years, The Last Jedi has been debated, dissected, defended, and criticized. This episode isn't about any of that... We are joined by fellow Last Jedi devotees Sunny and Ross for something much simpler: a love letter to a film that has only grown more meaningful with time. Together, they revisit the first time they experienced the film and celebrate the moments, characters, and inspiration that have stayed with them ever since, from Rey's search for belonging and Leia's quiet strength to Luke Skywalker's deeply human journey through failure, forgiveness, and hope. There are laughs, favorite scenes, unforgettable images, John Williams' extraordinary score, Yoda's wisdom, Crait, Canto Bight, and plenty of appreciation for the artistry Rian Johnson and his team brought to a galaxy far, far away. And then, at the end, everyone gets one final question: If Rian Johnson were listening, what would you want to thank him for? Just five Star Wars fans talking about a movie they deeply love. We saw what you made. We felt it. And we loved it. This is our love letter to The Last Jedi. Send us Fan Mail @twin_suns_of_starwars

And then thanked her for by coming around the autograph table for an unforgettable hug. And somehow, San Jose takes things even further.
