Sarlacc Digest: A Star Wars Podcast

The Star Wars galaxy is full of unanswered questions, creative risks, and decisions that could have changed everything. But what if one major decision behind the sequel trilogy had gone in a completely different direction?

Tonight on Sarlacc Digest, we're breaking down the latest Star Wars news, rumors, and theories before diving into a fascinating Hollywood what-if that could have changed the course of the franchise!

Was the sequel trilogy's biggest problem its directors, the overall story, or the creative decisions made behind the scenes? Could a different filmmaker have given us a completely different Star Wars experience? And how much does the future of the franchise depend on learning from the past?

We'll debate the possibilities, examine the choices that shaped the galaxy we got, and ask the questions Star Wars fans are still arguing about.

Plus, we'll discuss the latest news and rumors from across the Star Wars universe!

💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION: What is the biggest Star Wars what-if you wish we could see answered?

Tonight on Sarlacc Digest, we're taking a first look at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art through Flavey Davey's photos!

Then we're jumping back into the rumors surrounding Simon Kinberg's new Star Wars trilogy and the latest report that Jon Watts may direct.

But here's the bigger question:

DOES STAR WARS NEED EPISODE X?

Can a brand-new Star Wars trilogy generate the same excitement without the Skywalker Saga, or has the word “Episode” become essential to making Star Wars a theatrical event?

We're talking Rey, the sequel era, standalone Star Wars, and whether fans actually want the galaxy to move beyond the Skywalkers.

Join the conversation and let us know what YOU think!

Star Wars News, Rumors & Theories

How long have you really been a Star Wars fan? Most of us would probably answer, “All my life.” But when did Star Wars become more than just movies, toys, and characters we enjoyed?

Tonight on Sarlacc Digest, we're taking a look at the moment Star Wars went from something we loved to something that became a genuine part of our lives.

We'll also dive into the latest Star Wars news and rumors, including Disney+ and the growing questions around advertising on subscription tiers, plus the latest reports surrounding Simon Kinberg's rumored Star Wars trilogy, and whether we're actually looking at the long-rumored Episodes X–XII.

As always, we'll separate what's confirmed from what's rumored, and where the evidence ends, the theories begin.

So grab a drink, join the conversation, and tell us:

WHEN DID STAR WARS BECOME LIFE FOR YOU?

Tonight on Sarlacc Digest, we're letting the wheel decide what we talk about! 🎡

No big agenda. No need to force the latest Star Wars news. Just a bunch of Star Wars fans hanging out, spinning a virtual wheel, and talking about whatever topic comes up!

From deep dives and hot takes to favorite characters, movies, moments, collectibles, weird Star Wars questions, and everything in between, every spin brings a new conversation. And of course, THE PIT gets to play along with us!

We'll also kick things off with a quick look at Zero Company, the game Moocher has recently started playing, and is already completely hooked on! Don't worry, we're not turning Sarlacc Digest into a gaming show... but this one deserves a little love.

So while we patiently wait for the next Star Wars shows, movies, announcements and eventually Celebration, let's just do what we do best:

Talk about Star Wars.

Grab a drink, jump into the chat, and let's see where the wheel takes us!

How many times have you seen a Star Wars post claiming a new movie or series is “OFFICIALLY IN DEVELOPMENT”… only to find out it was never officially announced at all?

From supposed Obi-Wan movies to Jabba the Hutt projects and everything in between, social media is filled with fake Star Wars “news” that looks official, gets thousands of comments and shares, and convinces fans that these projects are actually happening.

Then, when they inevitably don't appear, the blame gets placed on Disney and Lucasfilm for “canceling” something they never announced in the first place.

Tonight on Sarlacc Digest, we're taking a closer look at the growing problem of fake Star Wars news, clickbait, AI-generated content, fan concepts presented as official announcements, and the outrage cycle they create.

We're not talking about legitimate rumors or fan wish lists. There's nothing wrong with speculation or imagining what could happen in the Star Wars universe.

The problem is when “I wish this existed” becomes “THIS IS OFFICIALLY HAPPENING.”

We'll also cover the latest Star Wars news, rumors, announcements and developments from around the galaxy.

So before you get excited… or angry… about the next “BIG” Star Wars announcement you see on social media:

STOP.

CHECK.

IS IT ACTUALLY REAL?

That's what we're here for.

D23 is officially in the books, and Star Wars came away with exactly what we were hoping for, a clearer picture of what's coming in 2027.

We got the first footage from Star Wars: Starfighter, the official trailer for Ahsoka Season 2, and confirmation that Maul – Shadow Lord is coming in 2027. While none of this necessarily comes as a huge surprise, D23 finally gives us a much clearer look at the Star Wars slate leading into 2027.

And here's where things get really interesting…

There are currently no major new Star Wars announcements beyond 2027.

Honestly? That might be a good thing.

With Star Wars Celebration coming next year, the door is wide open for Lucasfilm to start revealing what's next, new movies, new series, and whatever else is waiting beyond the current roadmap.

So tonight we're looking at everything that came out of D23, breaking down the Starfighter footage, talking about that INSANE Ahsoka Season 2 trailer, looking ahead to 2027, and asking the most important question of all:

What the hell are we going to talk about for the next five months?! 😂

Join us LIVE for the Sarlacc Digest D23 Aftermath!

A newly announced Star Wars novel, Twin Crossroads, follows Luke Skywalker as he trains Leia after Return of the Jedi. It raises a fascinating question...

What are the greatest Star Wars stories we've never seen?

Tonight on Sarlacc Digest LIVE, we're using Twin Crossroads as the starting point for a much bigger discussion. If Lucasfilm continues exploring the gaps between the films through novels, comics, animation, and Disney+, where should they go next?

Should we finally learn what Ahsoka was doing during the Original Trilogy? What about Sabine, Rex, Cal Kestis, or Luke's early years as a Jedi? Which era of Star Wars has the most untapped storytelling potential?

We'll also kick off the show with the latest Star Wars news, publishing updates, rumors, and D23 expectations before diving into one of our biggest community discussions yet.

Tonight's Topics:

• Latest Star Wars News & Rumors

• D23 Expectations

• Twin Crossroads and Luke Training Leia

• The Greatest Untold Stories in Star Wars

• Your Dream Star Wars Novel, Comic, or Disney+ Series

• Beyond the Pit

💬 Join the conversation!

What's the biggest untold story in Star Wars?

If Lucasfilm gave YOU one greenlight for a novel, comic, animated series, Disney+ show, or movie...what story would you tell?

May the Force be with you!
