Recent Star Wars News

As is usual, once an episode is recorded after a slow news week, all kinds of Star Wars news breaks. That certainly was the case with Episode 50. Therefore, the Scoundrels have plenty to get to. Of particular interest is the announcement of a producer and writer for a new live action Star Wars series. Also, Jay tells the story of Kylo Ren the white tiger.

Skystalking

After the news, Taxus has another edition of Skystalking. In this segment, Darth Taxus has combed the internet and found where all the Star Wars celebrities are appearing next month. In addition, Dennis and Darth Taxus discuss their plans for Fan Expo Dallas. Tune in and find out who they hope to see at the convention in Dallas this year. 

Han Solo's Revenge

Once "Skystalking" is complete, the Scoundrels return to the Road to Solo. This week they are discussing the second novel in Brian Daley's trilogy: Han Solo's Revenge. Dennis, Taxus, and Jay dive into Han's quest for payment after a smuggling contract goes bad. Did you know Han Solo once worked with a giant, space otter? Who is the gunslinger Gallandro? Also, why exactly does Fiolla from the Corporate Sector Authority remind Dennis of Carrie Fisher? Download the show and find out. 

Silence Fools!

Finally, the show turns to some listener feedback and community news in "Silence Fools!" In this edition, the Scoundrels discuss their latest Twitter poll concerning potential sidekicks in the Star Wars galaxy and Taxus basks in the glory of his big win.

Welcome to episode 50 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: The Road to Solo - Chewie and Lando. On this episode, Dennis, Jay, and Taxus continue the Road to Solo with a discussion of Han's famous sidekick and one of his old friends. Before they get far into the show, they discuss a deleted scene from The Last Jedi and the recently released novelization. Welcome to episode 50: The Road to Solo - Chewie and Lando.

Recent Star Wars News

At the time of recording, it had been a slow news week where Star Wars was concerned. However, there are a few details worth mentioning. Remember those cool character posters for Solo: A Star Wars Story? Well, they might have infringed on another artist's work. Also, The Last Jedi came up empty at the Academy Awards. What, if anything, does this mean for Star Wars?

That's SO Wizard!

After the news, Jay is back with another edition of "That's SO Wizard!" In this edition, Jay shares the details on a rather impressive piece of furniture suitable for an Emperor and then shares some C-3PO inspired fashion advice. Some of the products Jay discusses can be found at the following locations:

Jay also shares the details of her own steampunk inspired Threepio cosplay and announces her latest "Wizard Award" recipient: Kristy Glasgow of The Kessel Runway.

Chewie and Lando

Once "That's SO Wizard!" is complete, the scoundrels welcome Scott Murray from Assembly of Geeks to the show to discuss Chewie and Lando. What is it about the giant walking carpet that is so endearing to fans? Who really is Lando? A smuggler, honest business man, or a Rebel general? All of them? The "Hyperthetical" discusses all facets of everyone's favorite Wookiee and smooth talking scoundrel.

The Golden Quiz Show

After the Chewie and Lando discussion, Jay quizzes Dennis, Darth Taxus, and Scott. In honor of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels 50th episode, or "Golden Episode," Jay put together a quiz about everyone's favorite protocol droid: C-3PO. Some of the questions are easy, and as for others, not so much. Tune in and see who wins.

Silence Fools!

Finally, the show turns to some listener feedback and community news in "Silence Fools!" In this edition, the Scoundrels read an email from a past recipient of Jay's Wizard Award. After email, they react to a Tweet about one of the droids from Han Solo at Stars' End and cover the results of the latest Twitter poll.
