The Rambling Star Wars Fan

Yup, I said it. There are some things that I love about the Star Warts Holiday Special that was shown on tv in 1978. If you have a few minutes to spare, I think you should listen to this episode. You may find that there are a couple things that you love about it too.

In this episode I will talk about some of the Star Wars gifts that we were given in 2024 (Ahoska, The Mandalorian, Star Wars Visions and much much more) plus some of the things to look forward to in 2024. I even mention the documentary about the making of the Star Wars holiday Special. Yes, I am serious about that.

This is a list of other shows that I mention during this episode:

The Inflatable Falcon: The Inflatable Falcon Live Shows!Hinton Star Wars Family

The Pod Awakens: Anchor.fm/podawakens

Bantha Milk Podcast: banthamilkpodcast

In the years between Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace, two wonderful movies were shown on television: The Ewok Adventure and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. Come along on the adventure of this episode where Ken interviews Jordan Wiegand from The Pod Awakens and they discuss those underappreciated shows from the 1980s.

As an added bonus, you should listen to Dororothee's song, Les Petits Ewoks, that was played during the end credits of The Ewok Adventure when the movie was played in French theaters. You can find the song here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euVpCyu245U ) on YouTube.

We know that Star Wars has inspired people to get jobs in the film industry, to build personal costumes and props and create podcasts. Well Star Wars cookbooks encourage people to make delicious offerings connected to that galaxy far, far away.

This episode mentions some examples of where food has shown up in Star Wars and at least 10 reasons why Star Wars cookbooks are so very cool.

Bon episode!

This episode will one part interview and another part roundtable discussion with Nedd and Rubin about Star Wars, building armor, and The Mandalorian on Disney+.

There have been times in my life when I have heard people say that you shouldn't talk about politics and religion and you definitely shouldn't talk about them in Star Wars.  Well, by this time you should know that I am a bit of a rebel and today I am going to bring a friend into the fun with us.  In this episode, we will talk with my friend Clem about various political theories and how they show up in the Disney+ Star Wars show Andor.  We think you will find it interesting to hear how the ideas of people like Ilan Diamant, Thomas Hobbes, Immanuel Kant, and John Locke connect to George Lucas's galaxy far, far away. 

According to legend, Jedi Talk was the first Star Wars podcast and it debutted on February 7, 1999.  Daniel, the creator of Star Wars, Now This is Podcasting has helped to organize over 100 different Star Wars podcasts to release episodes of their show today.  Yup, The Rambling Star Wars fan is joining in on the fun by discussing 40+ favorite things about Return of the Jedi.  #StarWarsPodcastDay2023  #SWPD2023

Some people say that Star Wars was better before the company was purchased by The Walt Disney Company in 2012. In my mind, the two companies have been connected long before then and I am going to share some examples of that in this episode.

This is Ken's first solo podcast episode.  It will give you a brief look into a few of the ways he loves Star Wars and why he can talk about it and talk about it and talk about it...
