This episode is an example of some of the randomness that occurs in my brain related to Star Wars. I watched a single scene from The Force Awakens and bunches and bunches of various nostalgic nuggets sprang forth.

I wonder if something similar to this happens with other fans. Drop me a comment or a message to let me know.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has been watching, listening to, and sharing my show.

The Force Awakens is is 10 years old this year and I am celebrating by ta;lomg about 10 great things from that movie.

It's not all rainbows and rathtars though. If you stick around, you will also be able to hear my responses to 2 of the common criticisms of the first movie of the Disney era.

You have probably noticed cameos and spotted in various Easter Eggs in Star Wars movies and shows. I am going to talk about at least 8 nostalgic nuggets from the latest live-action Star Wars show on Disney+.

If you don't know what nostalgic nuggets are then you should listen to this episode and find out. I bet you've experienced them before and did not have a name for them.

The bonus one can be viewed here in its full awesomeness:

February 7th is Star Wars Podcast Day. It got its start back in 1999 when Jedi Talk launched its first episode.

I am taking a few minutes to introduce new listeners to this show while also jumping into the world of YouTube videos. I guess this is where the fun begins...

EVERY year is filled with milestone Star Wars anniversaries and thankfully a whole bunch of new content. 2024 saw the 40th anniversary of the Caravan of Courage, the 5th anniversary of The Rise of Skywalker, and several more. We were also given several new things to watch including the final season of The Bad Batch, the first season of The Acolyte, and the first season of Skeleton Crew.

Hop aboard and see what else I have to say about 2024 and 2025.

Today is Life Day and I would like to celebrate it with you by thanking some of the Makers who have made Star Wars possible for all of us.

This episode was recorded as an episode of The Inflatable Falcon - one of the other Star Wars shows that I am blessed to be a part of. Mike Hinton and I got to spend time talking with Kerwin, one half of the dynamic duo known for the Father Son Galaxy Podcast. He and his son Keith talk about Marvel, Star Wars and all sorts of other pop culture topics

The newest live action Star Wars show on Disney+ is called The Acolyte and folks have LOTS of thoughts, opinions, theories, praise, vitriol, and questions about it. In this episode, I took a few steps into those wild waters by talking about some of my own thoughts and predictions about that show.

I also suggest that you go check out the Clashing Sabers podcast (https://clashingsabers.net/podcasts/). There is a strong team behind their content and they strive to use their podcasting powers for good by helping teachers and students across the country.

As promised, Todd and I got together to start talking about Mandalorian history and some of the costumes associated with it - the Early Crusaders, the Crusaders, and the Neo-Crusaders. Along the way also took time to talk about a few of the things that we have added to our collections and our recent Star Wars activities. Oh yeah, and we also celebrated the fact that Todd is now an official member of the Mando Mercs Star Wars costuming club.

It continues to amaze me how much Star Wars can inspire people to talk about Star Wars. In this episode I talk with Kristine, a fellow podcaster, about her fandom, her wish for future Star Wars content and her podcast called Mind the Force.
