Podlings Podcast

The Phantom Menace is back! In celebration of the upcoming re-release, 25 year anniversary of TPM, we wanted to look at the OG poster design, and the new on by Matt Ferguson. Who has a really cool story by the way. Enjoy!

John Williams changed the game...but what inspired him?

One of the darkest operations out there... The Emporer's plan didn't stop with his death. Robot Palpatine and Bill Burr. Enjoy!

Some of the concept designs for the Rancor creature are pretty cool. We reckon you should give them a goog. Also, the behind the scenes sculpting of this beast are great. Anyway, enjoy!

We try not to get too hyped from trailers but what can we say...we're pumped. Let's talk about the trailer for Acolyte.

Wow, what a name for a gang.

Rest in piece, Shawn Trpcic.

We're finally back after our short hiatus. We missed you Podlings, and we hope you didn't miss us too much. But we're back, and we're hitting you with some fun facts about one of favourite boys... Palpatine. Enjoy!

PB took his gosh darn time finishing this one...but he finally did and we answer some theories that we had way back when. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor... Let's go.

With the news of Ahsoka Season 2 being announced today, we've decided to talk about Ahsoka's character design.

Bec's been reading again and this time has fallen in love with the big bad gang of the High Republic - The Nihil.

The Jedi Vector might not what you think. Maybe you already know about it actually...But if you didn't...well. The Jedi Vector was PEAK High Republic Jedi Starship Fighters, and they're sick, and they could control them with the force.

Where did Chewie's name come from? When he says his name, why doesn't it sound like he's saying "Chewbacca"? We discuss this and also where the name came from outside of the Star Wars universe.

Meet Wet Bub. The intelligent, violent and quite scary, Gungan.

MAYBE Order 66 means, keep at least 66 Jedi alive? Probably not... But that's what it feels like. Ever since we heard the words “You are the last Jedi” from Yoda to Luke, I don’t think many imagined how many there would actually be. Specifically in this episode, we’re going over all the Jedi that have survived Order 66.

We often talk about the design of a character or planet. Maybe a sound how a sound effect came to be. But if we go deeper, designing is a creative art form and it’s often overlooked “HOW” one designs. In this short episode we find some quirky ways some of the designers came up with their ideas and creations during the production of Revenge of the Sith.

We’ve been doing this for two years. Wow. Thanks to every one of you for support and listening to us along the way. <3

We’ve done it before and we’re doing it again. 10 more fun facts part 2.

Finally! PB’s favourite topic (outside of Star Wars of course)… Zombies! Halloween is here and we’re excited to have our little book club episode about Death Troopers by Joe Schreiber.

The theories behind Baylon Skoll and what is calling him are very mysterious and intriguing. It’s also arguably the most interesting story arc and character to come out of Ahsoka, maybe even Star Wars in the last few years. What is calling him and what could it mean for the Star Wars Mando-verse that Filoni is cooking up. Rest in piece Ray Stevenson.
