Happy May 4th! We're celebrating some Star Wars stories from friends across the internet. This May we start our celebration by asking what is that ONE thing that sparks your love of the franchise? Everyone has that moment and for many, Star Wars has changed our lives in one way or another. We explore what that spark is for our guests.

Join me as I welcome Chris, Nick and Tim talk about what made them fans. We all share a commonality, let's listen and see if we can make a connection.

We have a great discussion with Rob of the Jedi Temple Archives Podcast. Star Wars animation, how does that medium stack up to the overall lore of the franchise? With so many shows in the animated realm, what place does it have in Star Wars storytelling? Which shows are fan favorites and what are some favorite story arcs?

Join the discussion as we also feature some listener voicemail from friends. Let's see what what they say about Star Wars animation. How are these stories told, where do you rank the animated characters and do you even watch them all? The animated shows offers up a rich tapestry of storytelling that some might miss references to when watching live action Star Wars. Let's dive in and see why.

Big thanks to folks who left a voicemail. If you enjoy this podcast, please consider reviewing and telling a friend or two about the Scarif Scuttlebutt Podcast.

Another #QuickCuts episode and we've got some doozy topics! Join me as I discuss some hot takes with Tina, the @TheMemeQueen27 herself in a segment we called Touching Grass. How does bias play into our likes and dislikes of stuff, and do we all need to go out and touch grass once in a while? What say you?

Then I'm joined by @acpovcrew talking about stuff that doesn't belong in Star Wars like zippers and screws and foreign accents and more. A tongue n cheek look at some instances that pulls us out of the fantasy experience, like those damn bricks and screws. Listen in and see what you think.

Final topic I'm joined by another one of our Red5Network founding members, Charles from @SWations and dungeon master Tom @War_Behr talk about the theater of the mind that is Dungeons & Dragons! What is it? Who's playing and why is it so nerdy?

Enjoy this QuickCuts episode and make sure to share this episode and if you're feeling adventurous, give us a review in your favorite podcast app.

Straight from #ScarifLive this past weekdn Chicago enjoyed some awesome cosplay and sci fi / fantasy fun at McCormick Place. We had tons of fun sharing experiences with friends like Nicole, Greg, Todd, Trent and all the fans we spoke to.

We sat down on Saturday to talk about our experiences at Reed Pop's annual nerd event in the Windy City. And since this was also Star Wars Celebration Weekend, we discussed our takes on all the announcements and projects coming down the pipeline.

Join us as we all share the fun at C2E2,Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo.

I know we're a little behind but we never did a Solo: A Star Wars Story episode and we wanted to fix it. Whether you feel it's a story we didn't ask for or it suffered from Star Wars fatigue or lack of marketing, does Solo deserve the notoriety it got? What did you think of the movie? Did you watch it in theaters?

Well, we are discussing all of it, what worked, what didn't and our take on the second most controversial Star Wars film and the only one that lost money!

Join Ro and guests Scott @Ryfun and Mike @TooMedToo on this edition, talking Solo. Give us your thoughts on Solo.

Join Ro and Melanie on a journey to the 25th Century. After having done a discussion with the gang of the Science Fiction Remnant Podcast, I felt I needed to do our own deep dive. Who better to explore the awesome science fiction television of the 70s and 80s than Patreon supporter Melanie Marquita. Yes, awesome sci-fi TV. I said it!

Melanie can attest to the fact that it was a great time to be a kid. We had lots to watch from the Six Million Dollar Man, Space 1999, Battlestar Galactica, UFO, The Incredible Hulk, the Bionic Woman and we can go on forever.

Take a listen to our stroll through memory lane as we talk about our favorite memories of Buck ROgers in the 25th Century. Bidi, bidi, bidi dammit!

Join me for part two of a bonus series called My Wife Hates Sci Fi, a failed attempt to start a podcast show with the Mrs. We only made it to two episodes because...well, my wife hates sci fi and I couldn't bare to put her through more. But these two shows really were a lot of fun to hear her takes on two very geeky movies.

Not only does she hate sci-fi, but techno electronic music as well, (although she worked with Daft Punk back in the day) this is a double whammy I'm sure will make you chuckle. Let me know how you like it by posting your thoughts on Twitter.

Have fun with this one, and that's the scuttlebutt!

Check out this special BONUS filler episode of the Scarif Scuttlebutt Podcast. Yeah, I said it. A few years ago I started a show with Mrs Ro. She hates sci-fi so I made her watch some. We started with Guardians of the Galaxy because she loves music. I thought this could ease her in.

Boy was I wrong. Check out this discussion that will make you laugh every five minutes guaranteed. And by the way, this podcast is dead after two episodes. Next week I'll release part two. It didn't work because, well...My Wife Hates Sci Fi!

Hope you enjoy!

We discuss our favorite sci fi movie tropes. Sky's the limit but sometimes we keep going back to some classic plot points that involve some familiar tropes.

What are some of your favorites? Join Ro and guest Anthony from the Sci Fi Wise Guys on a deep, (and sometimes not so deep) discussion about some tropes.

Thank you for listening. Make sure to subscribe and leave us a five star review on your favorite podcast app.
