Hey, Star Wars fans, this is episode 241.

It's a slightly different episode this week and one of two halves. First, we have an in-depth chat about the recent changes at Lucasfilm and the announcement of Darek Hoffman as the new VP of Development. It's a change that we feel is needed so we give you our thoughts on what this means for right now and for the future of Star Wars movies and TV.

Secondly, we're announcing a change to the format of Spark of Rebellion. You may have noticed of late, as we certainly have, that news and general buzz around Star Wars has waned over the last 6 months to a year. Aside from the usual build-up to Disney+ releases, it's an announcement which goes nowhere - rinse and repeat. So... after next week, we're moving to a seasonal format instead of weekly episodic.

Episode 242 will be our last weekly release and after that, we will return in May to talk about the (hopefully) interesting announcements from Star Wars Celebration and then for our first season to review Andor Season 2 plus some cool interviews which we're sure you'll love. Moving to this format allows us to maintain enthusiasm about Star Wars and plan some very cool content.

With all that being said, enjoy episode 241 and let us know your thoughts on this new change at Lucasfilm.
