Intercepted Imperial Transmissions

On today's episode Scott "Ackbar" channels his inner Fett.  Karen helps us with some fun Mandolarian facts and gives a shout out to a fellow Star Wars fan and ”Nerd Guru” Donna Dickens. Once again the loss of the EU ruins the day.  The Librarian comes up with an idea for the Mouse to do something right.  We look at Boba Fett, Space Cowboy??

 What is the mandalorians weapon?

On today's episode, we have a heated debate over the merits of the new Disney Star Wars cartoon, Resistance.

The Sith Librarian quotes City Slickers, and we try to understand who Disney is trying to make their target audience.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale about a show that causes our normal amount of friendly banter. The Librarian's opinion is that the show sinks before it ever has a chance to swim, Ackbar and the Adjudicator think the Librarian has been sniffing glue.

So pull up a pool noodle and let us entertain you.

On today's episode, the adjudicator, Ackbar and I continue our discussion of Star Wars and the Wizard of Oz.  The stakes are high, will Vader turn out to be as wishy-washy as The Phantom Menace made him?  Should he know that Leia is his daughter?  Did he intentionally kill the last of his family on Tatooine?

Stay tuned and find out!

On today's episode, the Librarian, Adjudicator, and Ackbar delve into the "Hero's Journey" in the Wizard of Oz, and compare it to Star Wars.

We circle the drain of climate change. The pranks of "mischief night", and The Day After Wichita...Kansas, that is.

Pull up a pumpkin, or a munchkin and sit a spell, we've got our first two-parter!

Listen on! Listen on! This is the truth of it. Morals lead to debating, and debating gets to gaming, and that was damn near the death of us all.

Look at us now, busted up and everyone talking about hard rain! But we've learned! By the dust of 'em all, Intercepted Imperial Transmission’s learned.

Now, when men get to debating, it happens here, and it finishes here! Two men enter, one man leaves. And now, I've got two men — two men with a gut full of fear. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, gaming time's here!

He's the ball-crasher! Death on foot! You know him, you love him! He's...SITH LIBRARIAN!

The challenger, direct from out of the wasteland! He's bad, he's beautiful, he's crazy! It's...it's the IMPERIAL ADJUDICATOR

Morality's simple. Hear the question. Use your book learning and grey matter any way you can. You know we won't break the rules. There aren't any.

All our lives hang by a thread. Now we got a man waiting for a moral dilemma. But ain't it the truth? You take your chances with the law. Justice is only a roll of the dice. A flip of the coin. A turn... of the Wheel.

Rodians do it, Corellians do it Even educated Kowakian monkey-lizard do it Let's do it, let's fall in love On Alderaan, the best upper sets do it Tusken Raiders and Hutts do it Let's do it, let's fall in love!   In today's episode, the Librarian, Adjudicator, and Ackbar discuss the mating habits of the Corellian Solo, and how other different planetary citizens manage to fall in love, and in the case of our ornery Corellian, fall in love with an Alderaan Princess and beget a Ben Kylo.   Come, pull up a chair as we discuss, Love Star Wars Style!

: the exploitation of blacks by producers of black-oriented film

In today's episode, the Adjudicator, Scott Ackbar, and the Librarian catch a flick. The Librarian talks sports? Star Trek clashes with Star Wars!

ERRATA: In this episode, we misidentify Susan Oliver as the "Green Dancer in Star Trek", this was an error, she played "Vima" in the pilot episode of Star Trek, "The Cage".

 

Won't you pull up a sandbag and stay awhile and listen?

Picture of a man looking at a picture. Movie great of another time, once-brilliant star in a firmament no longer a part of the sky, eclipsed by the movement of earth and time. Mark Hamill, whose world is a projection room, whose dreams are made out of celluloid. Mark Hamill, struck down by hit-and-run years and lying on the unhappy pavement, trying desperately to get the license number of fleeting fame. To the wishes that come true, to the strange, mystic strength of the human animal, who can take a wishful dream and give it a dimension of its own. To Mark Hamill, movie star of another era, who has changed the blank tomb of an empty projection screen into a private world. It can happen in the Intercepted Imperial Transmission Zone.

In today's episode, the Imperial Adjudicator, Admiral "Scott" Ackbar and I postulate a world where an actor, not Mark Hamill fills the role of iconic Luke Skywalker.  You won't want to miss it.

On today's episode, the Adjudicator reads a book, the Librarian expresses his frustration at modern video games, and Ackbar contemplates VR sports games.

We discuss the defunct Lucasarts Star Wars:1313 and the problems with marketplaces in video games that allow cash to substitute for grinding for hours.

We discuss what we'd like from any Disney released incarnation of 1313, and how we should get together and play and Twitch us playing an online RPG.

And we got another email from Bruno!

You don't want to miss it!
