Teatime on Tatooine

Weesa Back! After a two month hiatus we’re at it again - joined today by French horn player and film music freak (in the best way), Avery Jett. We get deep down sarlacc pits with all sorts of what ifs and alternate timelines from Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. What if Padme survived childbirth? What if Yoda went with Anakin to confront Palpatine? What if Dooku had outed Palpatine as the Sith in the beginning of the movie? Sit back, relax, and have a cup of tea while we ponder other outcomes in our favorite galaxy far, far away.Edited by: Anna Trumbo & Sam KiefferAdditional editing by: Nick Griffith

What is a Bokken Jedi? I invited Jesús Gonzalez (podcaster and Star Wars nerd) back to the studio to try and figure out exactly what that means, outside of the general definition we are given from Baylan Skoll: that Bokken Jedi are trained outside of the traditional temple setting. Is Bokken a derogatory term? Is Luke a Bokken Jedi? Are there other types of Jedi that can be considered Bokken? This episode is brought to you by Speeder & Sneaker Co: "Blend In to Stand Out."

What is it about family in Star Wars? About its parent/child dynamics that makes it so unique? My guest Nick Griffith (husband and friend of the podcast) and I look down the barrel of twin turbolasers primed with generations of familial trauma, loss, and healing. How come there are so many abandoned and orphaned children in the galaxy? What is it about the death of a parent that radicalizes a child? Does the Skywalker Saga end with Rey? Just in time for the Christmas season - let’s zoom in on dysfunctional families. But don’t worry! The future of families in Star Wars is bright, thanks to the introduction of Skeleton Crew.

It's time to face the Fandom Menace (muahahaha). Who better to join me on my quest than Obi-Wan Memeobi - Star Wars influencer, Master of Memes, and fellow podcaster? We explore the history of Star Wars fandom from 1977-today - covering early newsletters and zines all the way through the rise of social media and YouTube. How has media consumption changed over the past 4+ decades? What exactly is gatekeeping? What makes someone a "real" Star Wars fan? Pour your tea and get comfy.  Written by: Anna TrumboEdited by: Anna Trumbo & Sam Kieffer

Few people in Star Wars get as much of a musical journey as Anakin Skywalker! Ashton Sharrett (musician, Star Wars creator, and co-host of the podcast S.O.M.P.) joins me to deep dive into that journey from his theme in Phantom Menace all the way through the death of Vader (and beyond). We talk musical parallels, Shmi's theme, and the overall genius that is John Williams. It's like poetry; it rhymes. Or maybe, it's the Force. Pour your tea and get comfy.

"Rebellions are built on hope." So says Cassian Andor, anyway. Join me and my guest (and host of the podcast Best Year Ever), Jesús Gonzalez, as we talk about Diego Luna, representation in Star Wars, and why it matters. Was Diego Luna a child actor (turns out, yes)? Did Carrie Fisher do her British accent in Episode IV on purpose? Is Episode VIII the best Star Wars movie (no, but Jesús thinks so!)? We go down many a rabbit hole and many a tangent but it always comes back to Star Wars. Pour your tea and get comfy.

Join me as I discuss with my brother, Tommy Raiguel, exactly why podracing is the best part of Phantom Menace. Did Watto want Anakin to race? Whatever happened to Ben Quadrinaros? Is art masterbatory if other people enjoy it? I also debut a never-before-heard deleted scene from Episode I - the Boonta Eve prelims. You don't want to miss this one. Pour your tea and strap in for a wild ride through Mos Espa.

It's time for something different! My guest on this episode is... me. I've become mildly obsessed with the High Republic and wanted to share. Listen in to learn about the High Republic initiative and the first full novel: The Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule. Are the Jedi of that time really more powerful? Can hyperspace be broken? Who exactly are the Nihil? All this and more can be found in today's episode. Fill up your mug and settle in for a ride into The Light of the Jedi and the High Republic. This episode is brought to you by Starlight Beacon: Coming online in one standard month.Written by: Anna TrumboEdited by: Anna Trumbo & Sam Kieffer

It's another music episode - this time, discussing in-galaxy music and sound in all things Star Wars. I'm joined by composer and guitar player Stephen ("Stevo" if you're OG) Mann - who actually wrote experiential music for the Star Wars universe. From Cantina Band to Chicken in the Pot, we talk about it all. Who invented clarinets in space? Why does everyone sing in Huttese? What does music from Mustafar sound like? What makes music "squishy?" Pour yourself a cup of tea, get comfy, and strap in for a deep dive into diegetic music. This episode is sponsored by Sandsong Fest 44 ABY: where sand in your boots is part of the experience. Complete List of Diegetic Music: Diegetic Star Wars Music (1977-2024) by jere7my - Google Sheets

My interview with new Star Wars fan Krishna Shetty concludes in today's episode where we cover the sequel trilogy, Solo, and Rogue One. Is 'sassy' the main attribute passed from Anakin to Luke to Ben Solo? Why do we ship Rey and Ben so much? Join me with the artist behind all of our show artwork as she wraps up her first journey to a galaxy far, far away. Pour yourself a drink and listen along!
