Coffee With Kenobi: Star Wars Community & Conversation

On today’s show, Shawn Degenhart (The Hyperion Hub) and Jim Tallman join me to discuss the Disney+ documentary Music By John Williams. We share our memories of Williams’ music and what the documentary taught us. As a bonus, Jim and Shawn explain some of the intricacies of creating an original music composition and what makes Williams stand out. Pull up a chair, grab your favorite mug, and have some Coffee With Kenobi.

On today's show, I speak with John Redlingshafer (The Hyperion Hub) about his first time watching The Empire Strikes Back. John is a lifelong Disney aficionado but a Padawan of Star Wars lore with no expectations or foresight of what comes next in the saga. We discuss the film’s tonal change from the original, his impressions of Yoda, and whether he should watch Return of The Jedi next or try the infamous “machete” order. Pull up a chair, grab your favorite mug, and have some Coffee With Kenobi!
