Season two of Andor just recently concluded. In that series, Star Wars fans got an opportunity to see how Senators Mon Mothma and, to a lesser degree, Bail Organa worked within the framework of the Empire to oppose the Emperor’s programs and his growing grip on the galaxy. Alexander Freed’s recent novel, Reign of Empire: Mask of Fear, is a compelling complement to Andor. Set in the days after the fall of the Republic and the birth of the Empire, Mask of Fear follows Mon Mothma as she attempts to reclaim power on behalf of the Senate through legislation. Bail Organa has other goals, he wants to topple Palpatine by revealing the truth about the fate of the Jedi. These seemingly complementary goals aren’t so complementary, and these two Senators will have to find a way to work together in the new political landscape. Meanwhile, Saw Gerrera is beginning to organize his own faction of freedom fighters, and he has found a forgotten Separatist operative to help him in his cause. We are starting our conversation of Reign of Empire: Mask of Fear in this episode of Podcast Stardust.

RFR made the journey out to the beautiful redwood forests of California for The Forest Moon Festival celebrating the Endor shooting locations from RETURN OF THE JEDI. From Del Norte County to Humboldt County, we were part of a “caravan of courage” traveling up and down the Northwest Pacific to podcast at various event locations. Joining us were original ROTJ Ewok Kevin Thompson and our pal, FANBOYS director Kyle Newman. We talk to fans, cosplayers, artists, musicians, and locals who share their pride for living in a region that served as the Forest Moon home of the Ewoks. Hear from those who remember when Jedi was being filmed and contributed, along with those who celebrate the legacy. We even find out which “Jedi” cast member got pulled over for speeding! “Magical” was a word that couldn’t be overused throughout the weekend. This week, you can hear what we did. Next week, we’ll tell you the stories. Yub Nub!

Thank you:

In promoting season two of Andor, Diego Luna said that it would change the way fans saw Rogue One. Now that the season and series have concluded, and with a little time having passed, we are putting that notion to the test in this episode of Podcast Stardust. We have re-watched Rogue One, and we are prepared to share how season two of Andor impacted the experience. We have some broad and specific things to mention during the discussion. In the end, we’ll decide whether Andor really changed the way we see Rogue One or not.
