Anyone who has listened to even a few episodes of Tatooine Sons knows that BB-N8, Sam and I are people of deep faith, and that this faith impacts our fandom in big ways.

Say what you will about the Disney era of Star Wars, one thing cannot be denied: it has been successful in bringing in a new generation of Star Wars fans. And that’s why today’s conversation is so interesting. I’m joined by Pete Fletzer of Around the Galaxy to talk about growing up with a Star Wars dad, and then becoming one himself...Pete Fletzer is a freelance writer who was best known for his work in the mid-90s for Lucasfilm and Topps’ Star Wars Galaxy and Star Wars Insider magazines. Discovered by Steve Sansweet, he wrote content about toys and collectibles, unique fan stories, and New York area Star Wars movie premiers. He was right in the thick of the Star Wars resurgence at the turn of the century, covering events like the Special Editions in 1997 and all three Prequel premieres. He authored almost 200 Star Wars questions for The Amazing Science Fiction & Horror Trivia Game. In the early 2000s, Pete stepped away from writing and disappeared from the public eye - other than issuing the occasional b

This Week on Tatooine Sons:We weren't thrilled with the latest MCU film, Eternals. We'll explain what we liked, what we didn't, and why. The Book of Boba Fett trailer was released last week. We've taken the very little we got from the trailer and decided to whip up a major theory involving Crimson Dawn. And we were joined by a VERY special guest for Podathon 2021: Disney Imagineer Scott Trowbridge. Scott discussed Galaxy's Edge, the Galactic Starcruiser, and the power of immersive entertainment.

Welcome to this INAUGURAL episode of our weekly interview series! I open every episode of Tatooine Sons with the statement, “We believe that pop culture is the mythology of our generation. There’s a story, written on our souls, and that these myths speak to that story.” Our guest today believes this so much, he’s convinced that the Force can fix the world.Our guest this week is Stephen Kent. Stephen is a communications and public relations professional who regularly appears on Fox News, Fox Business, CNN, C-SPAN, the Glenn Beck Show, BlazeTV, and SiriusXM POTUS Channel. Stephen hosts Right Now, a conservative & libertarian YouTube show on the Rightly network and he’s also the host of the popular Star Wars & politics podcast, Beltway Banthas. Stephen is one of the most interesting voices in the Star Wars fan community. And I was honored to spend a few minutes with him recently discussing his new book.Learn more about Stephen: https://www.stephendkent.com/BUY your copy of "How the Force Can Fix the Wo

This Week on Tatooine Sons:With the release of The Eternals just a few weeks away, we're asking the question lots of MCU fans are: Who are the Celestials? The answer has HUGE ramifications for the MCU (including the X-Men). And it may show us a bit about ourselves too. We walked out of the theater after watching the latest James Bond movie, "No Time To Die" with very different opinions. BB-N8 loved it. The rest of us didn't. He'll explain why we're "dead" wrong. Finally, we're continuing our look at Star Wars Visions with a conversation on "The Duel."

It's the cool thing to hate on the Star Wars Sequels. What started out as legit criticisms of The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, feels more and more like group think. We experienced this all weekend at Alabama Comic Con. Including a bizarre interaction with a server at Buffalo Wild Wings who basically approached us by saying, "I love Star Wars. I hate the Sequels." Join us as we have a some fun discussing the similarities to current Star Wars fandom's treatment of the Sequels, with the way fans handled The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith over the past 20 years. Maybe there's HOPE for the future....THIS is Tatooine Sons!Website: https://tatooinesons.com/Save 15% on EVERYTHING at https://www.cufflinks.com/ by using the code: TATOOINE15Rate and Review on Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/TatooineSonsFollow the Show: https://podfollow.com/tatooine-sons-a-pop-culture-podcast/view

This Week on Tatooine Sons:A couple of us were less than thrilled with the Season 1 finale, "What If...The Watcher Broke His Oath." We'll see if having a few minutes to discuss it helps us process that crazy Gomora appearance that made no sense. Next, we'll look at one of the more unappreciated shorts in Star Wars Visions, "Akakiri." This one goes down a philosophical path about destiny and free will. (And BB-N8 throws prequels Yoda under the bus again.)Finally, we've got all you need to know to get read for DC Fandome coming October 16th including all the movies, animation, games, comics and potential surprises.
