With the incredible news of more The Clone Wars episodes coming after San Diego Comic Con, we got the bug to return, once more, to this landmark TV Show, and to share it with all of you. We are going to be starting a look back at The Clone Wars over the course of 2018-2019 until the direct-to-consumer service with Disney launches.

In this episode of Home One Radio, we’re very excited to present to you part one of our two-part conversation about Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn: Alliances, which features a dual timeline, with Anakin/Vader and Thrawn teaming in both the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War eras. This episode will focus on the latter timeline looking at the arc sending Vader and Thrawn into the Unknown Regions. Also, before getting started, we talk about all the exciting news pouring in including Star Wars: Resistance news and the official Episode IX casting announcement. Plus, Josh gets distracted researching during the show and Blaine keeps up The Office references.

It is a new episode, forsooth! Verily we dive into Ian Doescher's latest ode to William Shakespeare with Part the Eighth, Jedi the Last! We discuss how our expectations for this book were decimated by Doescher's incredible literary tributes to the Bard and how Shakespeare does not stray far from a galaxy, far, far away as one thinks. Aye, we also soliloquy in great detail about all the news from San Diego Comic Con and try to keep our excitement under wraps. Once more into hyperspace, my friends, it's a brand-new episode of H1R!

While we are a little late to the party, we’re here to talk about John Spira’s 2015 documentary, Elstree 1976, which tells the story of several actors who played minor characters in Star Wars: A New Hope, including Jeremy Bulloch, David Prowse, and Paul Blake. The movie plays out very differently from a normal Star Wars documentary, yet we still loved it and what it brings to both appreciation for a galaxy far, far away and the actors who portrayed the characters. Plus, we get excited about Thrawn: Alliances and announce the winner of the Star Wars Worlds Cup!

This week we’re doing something a little different. Instead of interviewing a creator in the Star Wars Universe, we’re going to be discussing one. Marc Thompson is one of the most recognizable voices in Star Wars as the narrator of countless Star Wars Legends and canon books. The wonderful people at Penguin Random House were nice enough to provide us some audio clips from Marc Thompson’s work, and we wanted to take some time to talk about the material itself, Marc Thompson as a narrator, and what he brings that makes the books he narrates special. Plus, Star Wars Worlds Cup updates and we talk about Keri Russell begins cast in Episode IX.

This week we’re ready to dive back into the world of Solo: A Star Wars Story--this time by catching up with Battlefront II’s newest updates, which brings us several characters, ships, and locations from the film. We also give a Star Wars Worlds Cup update, get excited about The Clone Wars 10th Anniversary panel at San Diego Comic-Con, and reflect briefly on what could be in the works for this panel and Star Wars this fall.

This week we’re ready to dive back into the world of Solo: A Star Wars Story, by taking a look at the Official Guide, written by Pablo Hidalgo. With a looser format than how we discuss most books, we spend a little bit talking some of our favorite bits from the Official Guide. We also spend some time discussing recent standalone film events before diving in. Also, also, Josh spent way too much time this week putting together the Star Wars Worlds Cup and introduces a bit of the format. So, make sure to listen to the episode and go vote each and every day through July 14th and crown a champion of the Star Wars Worlds Cup!

We love talking about middle-grade and young adult novels, so of course we’re jumping on the opportunity to discuss Tom Angleberger’s new book, The Mighty Chewbacca in the Forest of Fear, in which Chewie, a bounty hunter/librarian named Mayv, and K-2S0 are tasked forced to travel to Ushruu--a mysterious planet covered in a fear-inducing mist, and populated with fearsome Correllian hounds and a gigantic monster--in order to track down an ancient, sinister text for none other than the Emperor himself. Plus, we discuss Star Wars news out of E3 and *SPOILERS* a rumor about a major character playing a part in Episode IX.

This week, we’re extending our stay in the world of Solo: A Star Wars Story, with a discussion of Rae Carson’s Most Wanted. Carson made her Star Wars debut with her R5-D4 story in the 40 Points of View anthology, and she also wrote a short story in the Canto Bight anthology. We discuss an extended stay on Corellia, how Han and Qi'ra develop their friendship before the events of Solo, and also the growing tide of droid emancipation that can only end with HK-47 being the secret emperor of the Unknown Regions. Plus, we briefly discuss our excitement about attending our first Star Wars Celebration!

In episode #75, we talked at length about the major and minor characters of Solo, and this week we’re going to take a look at some of the fabulous new worlds we got to visit in the film. We take a leisurely stroll discussing some of the artistic influences of the worlds and what struck us about each one featured in the movie. Plus, we dive a little deeper into how the design and journey to these planets tells an even deeper story of the movie's filmic inspirations.
