Radio Free Tatooine Network Feed

Han and Leia dominate the news this week as Leia joins the cast of Star Wars Rebels and young Han Solo is inching closer and closer to being cast.  We also talk a bit about John Boyega and how Finn fits into the greater picture of the new Star Wars trilogy.  Plus, we are thrilled to announce The Bantha Awards!

The Bantha Award Show is a ceremony that Radio Free Tatooine is hosting January 26th to make up for The Force Awakens not being eligible for any Golden Globes.  Do you think Daisy Ridley deserves an award for her performance as Rey?  What about Darth Vader’s costume design?  We’re taking all the best performances from all the best media over the years and throwing some well-deserved awards out to some people who we feel are the best around.  Voting will be conducted by our committee, a panel of experts (fellow podcasters, bloggers, & Star Wars enthusiasts) and by you!  Email [email protected] with your picks and be a part of the greatest all-Star Wars awards show since, well… We think it’s the only one!
