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:

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?

It's time to do a tribute to yet another key STAR WARS TV show music composer: Kevin Kiner (Ahsoka and the many cartoon shows).

Outside of this, you get to hear an interview clip during this minisode and I guarantee you'll dig his persona instantly.

His movie work includes: Leprechaun, Freaked, Safe House (1998), Tremors 3 and Samaritan (2022) as well as various Roger Corman and Chuck Norris projects.

His TV credits include: Stargate SG-1, SyFy's The Invisible Man, Star Trek: Enterprise, CSI: Miami, Hell on Wheels, Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Narcos: Mexico, City on a Hill, Doom Patrol, Dark Winds & Peacemaker.

Aside from the James Bond videogames, I get to briefly touch on what makes his sound different from other composers of late!

WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF MAY THE 4TH (A.K.A. EVERYTHING STAR WARS RELATED):

We start off the mixture of film history, nostalgia and visionaries with a blunt yet heartfelt George Lucas chat while also overviewing the many projects of his groundbreaking ILM visual effects company.

We don't mix words nor hold back but it's an overall salute to one of the most independent filmmakers who's struggled yet managed to find relevancy each era. We get to talk about how music has changed in his epic movies compared to how today's comedy/epic music is utilized.

Plus, Cam also shares some inspiration that he implemented using Lucas' method at this tempermental film school while Tom shares a wild film studies college he attended as well!
