Tatooine Sons

Over the 3 years we've been recording this podcasts, we've talked about Sheev Palpatine A LOT. There's a good reason for that: he's the villain of the ENTIRE Skywalker Saga! But beyond that, he's fascinating as he moves from "humble senator from Naboo" to "reluctant" Chancellor of the Republic, and then finally to the Emperor of the Galactic Empire. But did #StarWars actually HURT the character by bringing him back in #TheRiseOfSkywalker?We’ve flown Tie Fighters and X Wings and A Wings and a bunch of other Star Wars ships. Will Sam and Nathan have to ask for a PS5 for Christmans? And could we FINALLY be getting a Rebels sequel announcement this week? That’s all next on Hot Takes. Star Wars: Squadrons is OUT!

Count Dooku was a menacing Sith Lord and central figure in the Clone Wars. Once a Jedi -- trained by Yoda -- he became disillusioned with the Jedi Order and thirsted for greater power. But was it really the corruption of the Jedi Order, itself, that led to the creation of Darth Tyrranus?PLUS...A discussion of the new CG Short for #StarWarsSquadrons - "Hunter!" https://www.polygon.com/2020/9/14/21436129/star-wars-squadrons-story-trailer-imperial-perspective A look at the first gameplay video for #StarWars: Tales from the #GalaxysEdgehttps://www.cbr.com/oculus-star-wars-tales-from-the-galaxys-edge-first-teaser-trailer/ A deeper discussion of #TheMandalorian Season 2 Trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvv76mpoQ8w

Dryden Vos isn’t usually on most Star Wars fan’s lists of greatest villains. However, Solo: A Star Wars Story hinges on this character and Han and Beckett’s insane plot to pay off their debt to him. But the Dryden Vos we got on screen was originally going to be a very different character played by a very different actor. And what’s even cooler, is that the real Dryden Vos wasn’t the real bad guy, anyway. New info, but no trailer, for The Mandalorian. Poe Dameron is a slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler. And Daisy Ridley is saying we’ve got a chance at seeing her in Star Wars again. That’s all next on Hot Takes. Still no trailer, but we HAVE gotten some OFFICIAL Info on Season 2 of The MandalorianSources:https://ew.com/tv/mandalorian-season-2-first-look/ Poe Dameron’s History with Zori Bliss and the Spice Runners is RevealedSources:https://screenrant.com/rise-skywalker-poe-dameron-spice-runner-backstory-fix/ Daisy Ridley isn’t COMPLETELY Shutting the Door on Star Wars Sources:https://www.cinemablend.com/

It’s kind of hard to believe that a character who has been around for nearly 3 decades and is widely known and recognized by nearly all Star Wars fans, has never appeared in live action. But that’s the brilliance of Timothy Zahn’s character building when it comes to Thrawn. And dare we say, that he’s not only a great villain, he could be a better villain than Vader or Palpatine?https://www.polygon.com/star-wars/2020/9/3/21408128/star-wars-books-thrawn-ascendency-chaos-rising-timothy-zahn-interview-thrawn-trilogyHOT TAKES: Now, characters in The Sims can visit Galaxy’s Edge.

Regardless of how they may feel about the Sequel Trilogy, most Star Wars fans agree that Kylo Ren was the best character in the 3 films. He’s at the same time, overly confident and terribly fragile. Kylo Ren is a great example of the truth that the villain is the hero of his own story.But first, there’s exciting news about the Kenobi and Cassian series, along with more rumors about not one, but TWO Star Wars Rebels follow up series! It's TIME for Tatooine Sons!HOT TAKES: Kathleen Kennedy is “limiting” Kenobi. The Cassian Andor series could begin filming soon. And those Rebels rumors just won’t go away...

Grand Moff Tarkin is only briefly seen in the Star Wars films. But animation, books, and comics reveal a complicated, layered character who is at the same time both sophisticated, and horrific.

Director Orson Krennic was a surprising, but welcomed, addition to the stable of Star Wars villains. He’s brash. Overconfident. Witty. A bit annoying.

"I think he could have been one of the most powerful Sith ever." - Samuel the Hutt"Everything is about trying to get to Kenobi." - The Bow Tie Jedi Guy"Darth Maul was created all around reveng." - BB-N8If we say the words “The Phantom Menace,” your mind probably goes straight to the scene on Naboo when a set of blast doors part and a horned, red and black faced figure ignites a double-bladed red lightsaber. If you saw The Phantom Menace in 1999, you were probably a little disappointed that Darth Maul didn’t live on to fight another day.But a few years later we learned that he did. And that it was his total surrender to hatred and vengeance that sustained him.
