Star Wars 7x7: The Daily Star Wars Podcast

Our second Andor deep dive! Cassian describes the people running the Empire as "so fat and satisfied." It turns out the people running the Preox-Morlana Corporate Authority are much the same.

"Kassa" (or "A Suitable Accident," if you prefer) is chapter 1 of Star Wars: #Andor! We're introduced to a scoundrel who's floating cash, hopping beds, and talking his way out of trouble.

It's the final Andor Monday before the series begins! Today, the first of two episodes in which we tackle the Rogue One novelization, with Cassian's internal musings and intelligence briefing notes from Mon Mothma up for discussion. Punch it! And tomorrow is the big day: the publication of our 3,000th episode!

A lot of casting rumors are bubbling up about Star Wars: The Acolyte these days! Today, we're summing up what's new with what's known, and adding some speculation into the mix as well. Punch it! Just two more days until 3,000! We'll keep working on the possibility of a Mark Hamill conversation, and thank you once more for your continued support with likes, retweets, and comments about this thread with all the proposed interview...

So, it's finally official - the Disney movie release calendar has been updated. Rogue Squadron is no longer on it, and no Star Wars title is taking the open December 2023 spot. So what can we *really* take this to mean, based what we know and what's happened in the past? Punch it! Amazing to think we're three episodes away from 3,000! We still haven't heard from Mark Hamill or any of his peeps, but we'll keep trying, and we hope you'll keep letting him know (politely, of course!) how much...

I'm diving into various Star Wars stories this week to share more about Mon Mothma's history! We finally made it to Beth Revis' "Rebel Rising," and there's a lot to discuss - though more about Saw Gerrera than Mon, or Bail or Cassian for that matter. Punch it! After this, just five episodes left until number 3,000! I haven't seen any reactions yet from Mark on these questions, I'm sorry to say, but hope springs eternal, and your likes, retweets, and supportive words can only help the cause....

In our next deep dive into Mon Mothma's backstory (prior to seeing her again in the Andor series), we're going to look at what we know of her activities 3BBY and 2BBY, as depicted in Leia: Princess of Alderaan and Star Wars Rebels. Punch it! Meanwhile, we're less than a week away from the 3,000th episode of the podcast! Here's the master tweet thread with all the proposed questions for a dream Mark Hamill interview that I'd love to bring to you - and thank you for continuing to like and...

It's Andor Monday! (Yes, it's been an Andor day on many days that end in "Y," but still.) This is our final look at the Rogue One Visual Guide, which will also serve as a jumping off point to consider Mon Mothma more deeply. Punch it! Also, I see folks are still liking and retweeting the tweets about the proposed interview questions for Mark Hamill, and I'm so grateful. Please keep it up as you feel comfortable doing it, and thank you so much for helping to hopefully make this possible!...

Days 1 and 2 of #D23Expo are in the books! Those are the days where we expected Star-Wars-specific news to be coming out for Lucasfilm, and that's what we'll be recapping on the show today. Punch it!

A whole host of clips and commercials for Andor have appeared in social media, but most of them feature footage we've already seen. We'll flag what's new on today's episode. Punch it! As promised in the show, here are links to the videos with significant new stuff: Luthen Rael with Mon Mothma (and Saw, which we didn't talk about on the show) https://twitter.com/starwars/status/1565750207559503872 The Good Morning America...
