If you are a fan of Star Wars have no doubt heard that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will welcome guests to the Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu starting at Disneyland Park in California on May 31 and at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida on Aug. 29, 2019. 

But, what if your plans this have you going to Walt Disney World this spring or summer, Before August 29th?  Will there still be Star Wars?

Absolutely… and while Star Wars Weekends have been gone for a few years, you can get a daily dose of Star Wars at Launch Bay, the younglings can take part Jedi training academy near Star Tours: The Adventure Continues.  The march of the First Order takes place multiple times a day and the night is topped off with Star Wars a Galatic Spectacular Fireworks.  Throughout the day you can also catch a Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away at center stage.  It's a 15-minute show that covers the cinematic star wars universe, with some special guests appearances.   and, the entire show is this episode of Womp Rat Radio.  

Star Wars changed everything. A movie that we would attend multiple times just to learn the dialog, to better understand exactly what was happening. Remember this was before VHS, before digital copies, before we could study every line of every character.   Sometimes the dialog lost a little in translation, but that added to the fun.

This time on Womp Rat Radio, we break down our favorite scenes from Star Wars. That’s Star Wars: A New Hope for those that didn’t see it in a theater in the 70s. Honestly, we could have just called the entire movie our favorite scene, but it’s more fun to make up a list of favorites, then compare. What’s on your list?   Comment below and let us know if we missed any.

“Bounty Hunters?  We don’t need their scum!”

Star Wars is known for its bounty hunters, individuals for hire to capture or kill a designated target. The target would have a price on their heads that would be collected by the bounty hunter upon successful capture or proof of death.  Bounty hunters had no political allegiance only to the highest bidder.  They would sometimes team together as part of a larger mission or to handle more dangerous targets.

From Greedo, who only made a small appearance in a New Hope, bounty hunters have always been an integral part of Star Wars story telling.  The vast number of bounty hunters that continues to grow provides an amazing opportunity to develop backstories and connections in the Star Wars universe.  This time on Womp Rat Radio, we look at the early bounty hunters and cover some of our favorites.

No matter how your Star Wars passion started, the expanded universe, legends, rebels, clone wars or the new cannon created by Disney’s acquisition of Lucas Films in 2012.  The stories in the Star Wars universe provide a vast array of characters and locations that reach beyond movies to novels, comics, short stories and even theme park attractions!   Womp Rat Radio is our little corner of the Star Wars universe, where we explore the interconnections of the properties and characters and enjoying the ride that Lucas Films has provided for the last 40 years.   Thanks for watching and listening, and May the Force be with You always!
