Show notes - Ep. 59, 4/13/18

Episode #59: The SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY full trailer blasted out of Mos Eisley last week and we provide our analysis and commentary along with a Hutt-load of the usual nonsense you’ve come to expect from TWHP. Special guest Brad Chowen from The Super, Fantastic, Terrific Podcast joins us to review the Solo trailer and provide his expectations for the next installment in the Star Wars franchise (actually I think he just wanted to meet the Porg). We’ll get you caught up on Episode IX news, debate the Meryl Streep as Leia rumor, and travel back in time to hear Mark Hamill sing on German television. Der unglückliche Schwarm liebt Deutschland!

The Solo full trailer debuted Sunday April 8^th

Show Notes - Ep. 58, 3/30/18

Episode #58: The UNSTOPPABLE FORCE that is Star Wars continues to flow through us and this week is no exception with the reveal that Phil Lord and Chris Miller will get Executive Producer credit for SOLO, original trilogy canon has been enhanced by FORCES OF DESTINY, and Mark Hamill pulls back the curtain once again to reveal new details from the set of A NEW HOPE. Meanwhile Dave reviews Claudia Gray’s “Leia: Princess of Alderaan” while Greg reveals Niko’s addiction to the highly addictive “Brown Christmas.” Kids, just say no.

Show Notes - Ep. 57, 3/16/18

Episode #57: It's THREE'S COMPANY as Scott, Greg, and Steve remove the training wheels and scream downhill towards traffic with no brakes and a lot of Star Wars news to cover including the announcement of a Jon Favreau-produced live action show, THE LAST JEDI digital and Blue Ray release, and John Williams' (twin) sunsetting his SW career. We blast away at Lucasfilm's "homage" to an unknown artist, wonder how fans would react if JJ's treatment for Episode VIII is ever released, and review the best Twitter has to offer in response to President Trump's Space Force idea.

We shout back out to RALPH GARMIN and KEVIN SMITH from Hollywood Babble On, force you to make your STAR WARS CHOICES, and wrap it up with a rather…ummm…memorable TWEET OF THE WEEK.
