Radio Free Tatooine: A Star Wars podcast that's better than some, worse than others...

This week, we talk about the tragedy that has hit Rancho Obi-Wan in the form of $200,000 worth of missing Star Wars memorabilia. It truly is a rotten thing to hear about. If you have any tips at all as to the whereabouts of any of this stuff, email [email protected] and of course check ranchoobiwan.org for updates as they develop.

A much happier story see us bobbing our heads along to YouTuber OverEnglishMan‘s new music video featuring none other than Luke Skywalker. Follow the link for the full video!

SWNN uncovered some tasty leaked photos from the upcoming Han Solo film which can be seen here. [PICTURES OF VACANT BUILDINGS AND SETS SPOILERS]

And of course Sean and John compose some very elegant sonnets. (They’re so cultured!) Make yours here with Ian Doescher’s neat new site!

As always, thanks for listening and MTFBWY!!!

As part of a gift ebook to RFT’s pal Heath Williams, Sean wrote a short story about Constable Zuvio, which was pretty awful. He reads it this episode anyway. Plus, we look at some recent TMZ set photos from the upcoming Han solo film, some exciting upcoming Star Wars comic book announcements, and serve up the weekly tabletop news.

For all of the short stories referenced in this episode, go here. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you.

We look at the latest news including the Social Security Administration’s bizarre findings regarding popular Star Wars names, speculate on what hackers have stolen from Disney, and cover the upcoming Looking for Leia documentary. Plus: in Tabletop, Jim brings us some newly announced Rebels characters and other surprises!

Here’s a link to the video with Iain McCaig that we talk about. The good stuff happens around the 30-minute mark.

THERE (may) BE SPOILERS HERE!

That’s all we got this week, folks. Toys & Rumors. There may be mild spoilers for The Last Jedi in here, but they’re pretty tame. We look at the Fan Figure Vote winner as well as the leaked list of Black Series figures headed to a Gamestop near you on Force Friday. Plus, our new (again) Tabletop segment featuring Jim Cartwright. An Amy makes up for never having a Light Side/Dark Side recommendation by having the longest recommendation ever.

It’s almost May the 4th and we’re celebrating by giving you, our listeners, a chance to win an Amazon gift card to buy yourself some swanky new Star Wars stuff! In addition, we’ve picked our 40 favorite moments from the last 40 years. With 9 theatrical releases and over 8 seasons of animated TV series, we’re almost sure we missed your favorite moment!

We take a look this week at some recent comments from Kathleen Kennedy regarding the future of Star Wars Stories. Word of warning: they got translated to Spanish and back to English and they’re really hard to read. No one gave Sean that word of warning and it’s probably the best part of the episode! Also in this episode: The Star Wars Half Marathon – The Dark Side, Mr. Robot meets Mr. Kenobi, and we go Light Side and Dark Side in a (sort of) new segment!

After a weekend of panels and much celebrationing, Sean delivers a special post-con episode from Dallas Forth Worth airport with the assistance of his wife Angela, a very (admittedly) casual Star Wars fan. We talk about the panels, the trailers, and the good times we had at our second Star Wars Celebration together from both perspectives!

Good Morning America promises an “unmissable” announcement tomorrow. We discuss what this could be as well as the recent rumor that Carrie Fisher may be in Episode IX when all’s said and done. Plus, Amy’s SWCO travel guide is (actually) unmissable! Then we’re off to SWCO!

With Celebration Orlando 2017 being only two weeks away, the gang gets serious about planning their activities. Except John, who’s planning on staying in a cubicle while Sean and Amy have a ball. We go over what panels are must-see and pick a few of our favorite oddball choices. Plus IT’S ROGUE ONE DAY!!! How are you celebrating?

The only news worth spending time on this week is the speech Bob Iger gave in Santa Monica regarding the future of Star Wars, Carrie Fisher, and Han Solo getting his name. We cover all that as well as Star Wars Rebels’ season finale double-episode, Zero Hour.
