Talking Bird

After another break, Jon & Robert return to find Ron Howard taking over the Han Solo movie and Jon wonders if Opie has got the goods. Robert loves "Apollo 13" too much to have perspective. Will a proper trailer or "behind the scenes" sizzle reel drop at D23? Can Lucasfilm loosen the creative reigns with directors or should they even try? "Screaming Citadel" and Star Wars #33 & Darth Vader #2 get reviewed.

Thanks for sticking with us.

Holy Smokes! "Han Solo" directors Phil Lord and Chris get fired over "Creative Differences" and the Bird Boys return to break down all the speculation and speculate even more. Star Wars Drama, just in time for Summer! Is Star Wars reluctant to take risks or did Kathy Kennedy save a sinking ship?

Jon & Robert analyze Annie Leibovitz's recent "The Last Jedi" photo shoot for Vanity Fair. They ruminate on the disclosure that Lucasfilm is making everything up as the go. Robert really wishes Rian Johnson would stay off Twitter and Jon has some pitches for standalone Star Wars films. Stick around till the end for another unfounded TLJ theory from Robert.

Early in the 21st Century, the Bird Boys advanced amateur broadcasting in the NEXUS phase - a show virtually identical to 1000 other programs --known as a PODCAST.

Special microphones were purchased to record a weekly conversation about Star Wars.

This was not just a podcast.

It was called Talking Bird: The Special Edtion.

Oh, and we reviewed the book "Thrawn" as well.

Thanks for listening.

Jon & Robert talk about the weather and find themselves somewhat indifferent to "May the Fourth". Robert tries to find meaning in the movie 'Monster Trucks'. Jon waxes nostalgic for the Lando-centric minor league baseball jersey that got away. The Bird Boys get caught up on Marvel's Star Wars comics (mostly) and discuss "The Last Jedi" costumes.

After a brief hiatus, The Bird Boys finally get around to giving their thoughts on Star Wars Celebration 40th anniversary panel, "The Last Jedi" teaser trailer and poster. Is Robert going to buy "Battlefront II"? I think you should just listen and stop expecting me to recap all this yammering. -R

Han Solo's real name? Bob Iger says Disney will make Star Wars movies for the next 300 years. Robert talks about his recent purchase of the Ralph McQuarrie book. Rebel's Season 3 finale and hopes for season 4 and much more. This show description is actually a chain letter. If you don't share this podcast with five friends in the next seven days, Robert will come to your house in a Jar Jar Binks T-shirt and throw lunchmeat at your window. Mesa not joking.

PRODUCER'S NOTE: This week's episode contains some excessive potty mouth in the early part and is not for sensitive ears.

Does the Lucasfilm Story Group know anything about Jazz? Is Star Wars playing it too safe with it's filming locales? Does Jon hear John O'Hurley everywhere? Did the Bird Boys enjoy the return of Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars Rebels's "Twin Sons"? Is Marvel's "Doctor Aphra" #5 still fitting the bill?

Jon reviews "Aftermath: Empire's End". Robert tells a story about Robyn Hitchcock and the Ides of March that has no point. Gareth Edwards talks "Rogue One" last-minute additions (He doesn't appear, we actually talk about them). Frank Oz is mum on Yoda. Jon and Robert have very different experiences with Star Wars: Rebels "Double Agent Droid" and that's okay. A listener has a question and we do our best to answer it.
