Earlier this month, the Star Wars Vintage Collection was added to the Star Wars library on Disney+. This new collection includes Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars microseries, the Ewoks cartoon series, the two Ewok films, and The Tale of the Faithful Wookiee, which is the animated segment of the infamous 1978 holiday special. Join with me as we discuss these additions to the library.

Now that we have finished cataloging the scores to the Skywalker Saga, I thought we would do something a little bit different. In 1996, Lucasfilm created a multimedia campaign aimed at filling in the gap between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. This was called Shadows of the Empire. In this story, our heroes attempt to save Han Solo before he is delivered to Jabba the Hutt, while the evil Prince Xizor seeks to murder Luke Skywalker in order to discredit Darth Vader in the eyes of the Emperor. Scottish composer Joel McNeely creates this unique score which is based on the novelization of this story as opposed to a film. Join with me as we discuss the results.

Star Wars is a modern-day myth. Many parallels have been drawn by that galaxy far, far away and the legends and mythologies of cultures the world over. Today I would like to compare it to a story with which we are all familiar: the legends of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Join with me as we examine the connections, as well as discuss why the minimalist storytelling of A New Hope launched the Star Wars saga.

One of the most, if not the most, anticipated Star Wars project on the horizon is the Obi-Wan Kenobi mini series. Lucasfilm has officially announced the cast of this project. Some of the names were expected, whereas others are quite surprising. Join with me as we discuss.

Politics have been engrained in Star Wars since the very beginning. In fact, some of George Lucas' earlier drafts focused on a lot of political jargon. As the story evolved into what we now know as the original trilogy, the overt political discussions became more muted. But nonetheless, it is still there. As has been pointed out by many a fan, the politics of the prequel trilogy were a big deal. Join with me and my friend Rajko as we discuss the politics of that galaxy far, far away...

As we continue our discussion of the scores to the Star Wars films, we come at last to the Sequel Trilogy. Maestro John Williams returns to that galaxy far, far away with another wonderful addition to the glossary. Join me as we analyze this new entry in the saga.
