Like every May the 4th week, we love to tackle other material featuring a STAR WARS saga actor and it finally time to reflect on the ONCE WERE WARRIORS films starring Jango Fett portrayer Temuera Morrison!

Where do these films rank in the crime drama/gangster genre?

Why does the second film surprisingly become a redemption story?

And why not as popular as some of the other international hit films (despite the various quotes)?

INTRO CLIP GUESTS:

Jay Man, Barely Critical duo Luke & Trevor, Dylan J Schlender (Reels of Justice) & John Reid (30Something Podcast)

CLIPS FROM:

Once Were Warriors (1994)

I get to tackle both the novel and comic book version of the first official STAR WARS sequel: SPLINTER OF THE MIND'S EYE.

Does this has pretty solid continuity despite being conjured up before EMPIRE STRIKES BACK?

What details are different in the comic book version?

All that plus a clip from an interview featuring author Alan Dean Foster!

MUSIC USED: 

"Imperial City" and "Beggar's Canyon Chase" by Joel McNeely (Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire OST)

You read that right: we're doing nothing but sharing humor related to STAR WARS.

Everything from bloopers, side chats to other amusing observations commence in this 55 minute endeavor.

Why is Billy Dee Williams the definitive voice of cool?

Does James Earl Jone's voice still strike fears into viewer's minds even when it's just a CNN ad?

And why are photos of Obi-Wan still mistaken as being portraits of Jesus Christ?

Oreo and I continue the May the 4th insanity by digging into all the different Dark Horse TALES comics anthologies:

What stories you never knew you wanted to know actually made an impact?

Which hysterical crossover occured late in the publishing run?

And did the various talents made solid use of all the creative space they were allowed?

Near the end of the chat, we also briefly reflect on the most "amusing" fans vs. creators battles!

SONG USED: 

"The Battle of Gall" and "Xizor's Theme" by Joel McNeely (From the Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire OST)

Some of us were still doing a side chat and we decided to focus on the Action Star/Scream Queen Badass herself: Katee Sackhoff!

What is her best voice-over role that we can all still quote?

Why is she the Linda Hamilton of her generation?

And why does she give 1000% in every role?

AUDIO CLIP INTRO: 

"KATEE SACKHOFF on Playing the Voice & Live Action of Bo-Katan in STAR WARS" (Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum Podcast)

Oreo & I summarize our favorite STAR WARS Trilogy: The Infinities Trilogy by Dark Horse Comics!

in this trilogy, they do an epic "What If?" take on all three original movies but was there a mild plot hole?

Why are Yoda, Han, R2 & even Lando FAR more involved in these alternate scenarios?

And why are they a solid blend of wit, edginess and epic quality?

MUSIC USED:

"Night Skies" and "Into the Sewers" by Joel McNeely (from the Shadows of the Empire OST)

The whole gang gets in their spaceship's podcasting room to look back at the NPR Radio Dramas of the original STAR WARS trilogy:

TALKING POINTS:

*How many of the deleted scenes depicted here became part of the OT's special edition?

*We also discuss some other SW custom merchandise and news back in the '80s/90s on the saga

*We chat about the foley design, NPR-BBC Radio airing this and the neat cast additions

*Why do actors Brock Peters, John Lithgow & Ed Begley Jr. deserve more praise for their work on this?
