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

There’s nothing we want to talk about this week that isn’t Darth Maul. Twin Suns saw the iconic baddie’s return to Star Wars Rebels and there’s just too much to unpack for us to tackle anything else. Plus, we love the guy!

The wackiest episode of Star Wars Rebels yet has us taking a good hard look at song in the GFFA. It’s always a gamble making a musical episode and while this isn’t per se a musical episode, it’s the first time a main character has sung. Does it work? We also talk about Marvel’s upcoming Darth Vader Comic series and some fun rumors about Han Solo’s homeward and the legendary Frank Oz.

And here are those tweets we were talking about.

Omar comin’, yo!

We got the word that Michael K. Williams is joining the new Han Solo film and we couldn’t be more stoked! And speaking of the new Han Solo film, John CANNOT say Alden Ehrenreich’s name and it’s pretty fantastic to hear. We talk about that, the renewal of Rebels, and How Mon Mothma Got Her Groove Back in Radio Free Tatooine 103.

Bare knuckle boxing assassin droids? HARD. CORE. The latest episode of Star Wars Rebels frames Grand Admiral Thrawn as a bit of a fitness buff. We talk about that as well as our favorite new R2-D2 dub video, and look at the (lack of) bonus content on the Rogue One blu-ray release and the odds of the almighty Original Theatrical Releases coming out in the near future. What can we say, it had been a couple months!

Not only did we get back into Star Wars Rebels this week, we also got a slew of news!  We got plenty of toy news out of Toy Fair, some news on the publishing front, and bits and pieces pertaining to The Last Jedi.  Plus, check out Josh Gad’s brilliant Daisy Ridley videos!

After breaking from format last week to record our Turkish Star Wars commentary track, we’re back and we’ve got two weeks worth of news to discuss!  We got word of a new comic series featuring a team-up of Luke Skywalker and Dr. Aphra, Some fun new casting for the Han Solo film, and much ado about nothing in regards to Rey and Kylo’s relationship.  We tackle all this and more in Radio Free Tatooine 100!

It’s finally here.  Our Big Fat Turkish Star Wars Commentary Track.  The year is 1982.  Someone in Turkey has a string of terrible ideas.  The result: Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam, colloquially referred to as Turkish Star Wars.  It’s one of the worst things ever put to film, but that makes it one of the best!

Here’s how to watch this episode:  Head to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahawhXzUV8Q and press play.  Then, after the commercial is done, drag the bar back to the start of the video (0:00).  We give a brief intro and then we’ll count you into the movie.  If you press play when we press play, you’ve got yourself a (makeshift) commentary track!

Short episode this week as we prepare for Our Big Fat Turkish Star Wars show.  We did get a bit of news though, so we chat a little about the Han Solo film and a couple new upcoming books.  Also in this episode we welcome our new segment: The Table, a Star Wars tabletop gaming rundown by The Jodo Cast’s Joe Lutovsky.

With the recent announcement of the Episode VIII title, we have to finally admit that it won’t be called Space Warriors: Luke Jedi.  We talk about the title and what it could mean, as well as Timothy Zahn’s upcoming Thrawn novel, but really delve more into Sabine’s character-driven Rebels episode from this week.

As is often the case, the juicy rumor we reported last week was confirmed by the time most of you listened to the episode.  But we’re not sore, we’re just glad Woody Harrelson’s joining the galaxy far, far away!  We talk this week about the strange situation Lucasfilm finds itself in with regards to the future of Princess Leia and what their options really are, posit why Unkar Plutt’s dismemberment scene was cut from The Force Awakens, and review an all-new episode of Star Wars Rebels in the latest Radio Free Tatooine!
