Star Wars 7x7: A Daily Bite-Sized Dose of Star Wars Joy

Thanks to some very polite notes from Sarah Hess, Andrew Keen, and Johnny Orme (as of press time), I'm sorry to say that there were errors in yesterday's episode of the show regarding the availability of The Mandalorian and Clone Wars season 7 on the Disney+ service. Today, a Department of Corrections episode, where I set the record straight, and hey - is it 10 episodes of The Mandalorian, or eight??? Punch it!

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS: In the video, I incorrectly state that the full season of The Mandalorian will be available on day 1 (only the first episode will be, as of what's known today), and Clone Wars Season 7 is a year 1 release, not a day 1 release (we don't have a specific date yet). My deep apologies for the errors.

Just 109 days left until the launch of Disney+! What will be available on day 1? Let's run down the list, as well as what will be coming later in year one, further out in year two, and what probably will *never* be on there. Plus, a check-in on The Mandalorian post-production. Punch it!

Since we're looking into what's going on with other Star Wars projects these days, let's check in on the Benioff and Weiss Star Wars movies, shall we? After all, there's only 1,240 days left until the scheduled debut of their first one, on December 16th, 2022. Punch it!

Here's the thing: It's really hard to find *actual* news about Rian Johnson's Star Wars trilogy, amidst all the opinions about him and The Last Jedi. I'm not here to re-litigate any of that today - I'm here to update you on the facts about the trilogy (yes, it's still happening), to talk about how it may be affected by the Benioff & Weiss 2022 announcement, and speculate whether both could be affected by the progress on a certain other franchise now owned by Disney. Punch it!

The set visit Kevin Smith made to Pinewood for The Rise of Skywalker resulted in a very different experience, as compared to his previous Star Wars set visits. Hear what he had to say in an interview with IGN, and then let's break down what it could tell us about the movie - no spoilers, of course. Punch it!

Ahh, the mysterious Project Luminous. Nothing new was announced about it at San Diego Comic-Con, so let's take a look back at all the public pronouncements to date, and see what there is to learn about this massive Star Wars project set to debut next year. Punch it!

Arguably the biggest Star Wars news to come out of San Diego Comic-Con this year came from the Lucasfilm Publishing Panel. Even though they teased Project Luminous multiple times but said nothing about it other than the name itself, there was a lot of new information shared for other projects... Punch it!

As we discussed last week, Friday at SDCC was slated to have five major Star Wars panels. On today's show, we're talking about the reveals - or lack thereof - from four of those five panels, plus one other one that slipped under the radar. Punch it!

Thanks to everyone tweeting their faces off at SDCC to share all the Star Wars news from Day 1 that's fit to tweet, with special kudos to Johnamarie Macias (@BlueJaigEyes on Twitter) and Annalise Ophelian (@Dr_Ophelian on Twitter), whose photos and videos I'm referencing in today's episode about the Star-Wars-related reveals from the first day of San Diego Comic-Con 2019. Punch it!

Wanna get inside the mind of Luke Skywalker? Well, hearing his inner monologue would be something previous Star Wars movies have never done, but thankfully we have another source of information - the comics! Here are all the choice Luke moments from the The Last Jedi adaptation. Punch it!
