The biggest story in Star Wars in 2024 was the story of The Acolyte. It was the highest profile content Lucasfilm released, but it was so much more than that. It reflected the state of Star Wars fandom, served as an example of streaming economics, and show us what we have to look forward to over the next decade of Star Wars storytelling. Punch it!

The post The Biggest Star Wars Story of 2024 | Star Wars 7×7 Season 2, Episode 2 appeared first on Star Wars 7x7.

It’s the seventh anniversary of the release of The Last Jedi, and with a little distance from the discourse, the evidence is clear – by box office dollars, ticket sales, DVD sales, critics ratings, and audience surveys, TLJ is one of the most successful Star Wars movies of all time. And that’s even when you consider the kind of storytelling corner Rian Johnson was backed into by J.J. Abrams and The Force Awakens.

We’ll talk about those measures, the movie itself, and the moment it got caught up in that has tainted honest discussion of the movie. We’ll also touch on the current United HealthCare situation, the Iraq War, the Howard Stern autobiography, Battlestar Galactica, and more. Punch it!

Let’s call it season two, episode zero, shall we? over the last four months (time flew by!), I’ve developed an appreciation for the Sequel Trilogy that I didn’t quite have before – not that I didn’t like them, just that they didn’t seem to hit the same way they do today… Punch it!

Yes, we’re still on hiatus, but we couldn’t wait until November to share this conversation with you. We’re psyched to welcome Doug Burton to the podcast to talk about the Heroine’s Labyrinth – an alternative to the Hero’s Journey. We’ll apply it to Leia’s story in A New Hope, and about how this story structure applies to other original trilogy and prequel trilogy movies. Punch it!
