Hey, Star Wars fans, this is episode 241.

It's a slightly different episode this week and one of two halves. First, we have an in-depth chat about the recent changes at Lucasfilm and the announcement of Darek Hoffman as the new VP of Development. It's a change that we feel is needed so we give you our thoughts on what this means for right now and for the future of Star Wars movies and TV.

Secondly, we're announcing a change to the format of Spark of Rebellion. You may have noticed of late, as we certainly have, that news and general buzz around Star Wars has waned over the last 6 months to a year. Aside from the usual build-up to Disney+ releases, it's an announcement which goes nowhere - rinse and repeat. So... after next week, we're moving to a seasonal format instead of weekly episodic.

Episode 242 will be our last weekly release and after that, we will return in May to talk about the (hopefully) interesting announcements from Star Wars Celebration and then for our first season to review Andor Season 2 plus some cool interviews which we're sure you'll love. Moving to this format allows us to maintain enthusiasm about Star Wars and plan some very cool content.

With all that being said, enjoy episode 241 and let us know your thoughts on this new change at Lucasfilm.

Welcome to episode 240. Our headline story is about The Acolyte, which, as we know, was supposed to be a fresh insight into the Sith but got unceremoniously axed. Now, Disney is trying to spin it as a success because it racked up some viewing minutes. Sure, let's ignore the fact that the show was generally panned. Classic Disney.

We also touch on the ongoing saga of upcoming Star Wars movies, where writers come and go faster than Jedi at a lightsaber duel, The High Republic wraps up, lots of new Star Wars merch... Plus, there's a shiny new Death Star LEGO set on the horizon priced for the truly devoted. So, grab your popcorn—oh wait, you can't afford it after that LEGO purchase—and settle in for some sarcastic insights and absurdity from around the galaxy.

Hello there! We're back after our end of 2024 hiatus, we hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year and that you're raring to go, with us, to dive into some great new Star Wars this year.

In this week's episode, it's all about Skeleton Crew, highlighting its unique approach to storytelling and character development. We discuss how the show successfully avoids the typical reliance on established Star Wars characters, instead focusing on a fresh narrative centred around a group of kids on a mysterious planet.

We reflect on the blend of familiar themes reminiscent of classic films like The Goonies and Stand By Me while praising the performances of the child actors, particularly Wim and Fearne, who experience significant character growth throughout the series.

Also, we wax on the creative choices made in design and storytelling, emphasizing how the series manages to feel distinctly Star Wars without adhering to the usual tropes.

With an overall rating of eight out of ten, we certainly thought it was a solid series. Enough to get a season 2 in the future? Who knows. For now, sit back, grab some blue milk and join us for our review of Skeleton Crew.

Welcome, SoR listener to episode 238 and our final episode of this year!

We're taking the remainder of the year off and will be back on January 15th for our full review of Skeleton Crew. The reason for the short hiatus? Basically, Star Wars news has been extremely slow for the last few months. Of the stories we are talking about recently, it's just the same stuff or it's fan nonsense. The last thing we want to do is come back every week and not sound like our enthusiastic selves about something we love. So you get a rest for a little while!

For this episode we've got Star Wars movie calendar updates, Black Friday toy and collectibles, new Darth Vader themed clothing from Columbia and some fun tidbits from the rumour mill. Enjoy!

Hello there, Star Wars fans and welcome to episode 237.

Our headline story this week feels like a twisted, nightmarish trip down memory lane that we've gone down many times before. Once again, Lucasfilm has a new trilogy of Star Wars films in the works with X-Men alum Simon Kinberg at the helm. With so many writers and directors coming on then leaving over the years you can forgive the cynical tone here.

Elsewhere in the galaxy, Skeleton Crew dropped it's latest trailer with a unique vibe, an update on every SW game in development and finally, Star Wars gets its first transgender Stormtrooper - Sister.

Hello there! Garry is flying solo this week to bring you up to speed on what's happening around the galaxy including...

The recent turmoil surrounding the upcoming Star Wars film, "New Jedi Order," which has lost its screenwriter, Stephen Knight, leading to further delays in production. Daisy Ridley's optimistic comments about the project now seem overshadowed by this setback, raising questions about the film's future.

On a more positive note, James Mangold's "Dawn of the Jedi" appears to be on track, with indications that filming could begin next year, exploring the origins of the Jedi in a captivating new storyline.

Additionally, intriguing hints from the upcoming "Skeleton Crew" series suggest connections to deeper Star Wars lore, particularly regarding the Sith's forerunners.

Hell there, Star Wars fans! Welcome to episode 234.

We kick off with the future of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, sparked by Ewan McGregor's recent remarks about potential storylines for a second season. The hosts reflect on the original series' reception, noting that while many fans appreciated McGregor’s return, others felt the series fell short of expectations. This dichotomy sets the stage for an exploration of how future content can better resonate with the audience while remaining faithful to the established lore. We also touch on the intricacies of storytelling, emphasising that any new series should not simply rehash past narratives but should instead build upon them, enriching the characters' journeys and deepening the emotional stakes.

Other news throughout the galaxy:

• We pay tribute to the late Robert Watts, acknowledging his contributions to the original trilogy and the importance of recognising his behind-the-scenes talent that shaped the Star Wars legacy.
• An upcoming documentary on John Williams has us excited, discussing how his musical genius has elevated the storytelling of Star Wars and other iconic films.
• A couple of amazing props are going up for auction next week in London including a screen-matched Sandtrooper helmet from the icon "Move along" scene as well as Yoda's cane. Oof, if only we had a recent lottery win!
• Fans have got their knickers in a twist as actor Will Poulter would throw his hat in for the live casting of Cal Kestis. Yep, fandom, lol.

Lastly, we tackle the tantalising idea of adapting the Clone Wars into a live-action format, a prospect that excites some fans while raising concerns for others. Could an adaptation live up to the beloved animated series while focusing on the darker, more brutal aspects of war that defined the Clone Wars? There's the potential for exploring character relationships, particularly the dynamics between Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Padmé, as well as the emotional fallout from the choices they make.

Hello there, Star Wars fans and welcome to episode 233.

The latest episode delves into the tumultuous history of Star Wars announcements since Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm, highlighting how the frequent changes in release schedules have affected fans' expectations and enthusiasm. With a series of delayed releases and project cancellations, fans are left questioning the direction of the franchise and the reasoning behind these decisions, including production challenges and creative differences. The discussion also compares how other franchises, like Marvel, successfully manage their release timelines, contrasting it with Star Wars' current struggles.

As speculation arises about what fans can expect moving forward, the episode engages with listener reactions, capturing the mixed sentiments surrounding the shifting landscape of Star Wars media. Ultimately, this conversation aims to explore the future release strategies for Star Wars while addressing the impact of these developments on the devoted fanbase.

Through a lively and candid discussion, this episode tackles the complex realities of Star Wars' release strategies post-2012 acquisition by Disney. Garry and Mark provide a thorough retrospective on the numerous projects that have been announced, altered, or canceled, painting a picture of a franchise in turmoil. The conversation leads into a critical examination of how these shifts have impacted the trust and enthusiasm of the fan base, noting that many fans now approach announcements with trepidation, fearing further cancellations or lackluster products.

We highlight the need for a more coherent strategy moving forward. They speculate on the potential for revitalising the franchise through fresh storytelling and clearer communication with fans. Additionally, we address the reactions from the Star Wars community, acknowledging a spectrum of feelings from apathy to fervent criticism. The episode emphasises the importance of understanding fan sentiment and adapting to it, suggesting that moving forward, Lucasfilm should prioritise consistency in its messaging and commitment to delivering quality content.

This thoughtful discourse not only reflects on the past but also serves as a hopeful guide for the future of the Star Wars saga, encouraging fans to remain engaged and optimistic despite the rollercoaster ride of announcements and releases.

Welcome to episode 230, Star Wars fans! There's very little news kicking about the galaxy this week so we thought it would be a good idea to give you our initial thoughts on the recently released Star Wars Outlaws game from Ubisoft and Massive Ebtertainment. As Mark hasn't picked this up yet, Garry is flying solo with his review after about 10 hours of play time. He'll give you his full review in a few weeks after completing it all.

So, grab your cute loveable sidekick, your blaster and brew as we dive into arguably the most important Star Wars game of recent years.
