Welcome to episode 80 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: Vanity Fair on The Rise of Skywalker. On this episode, The Scoundrels are breaking down everything we learned from Lev Grossman's article and Annie Leibovitz's pictures in Vanity Fair about The Rise of Skwyalker. Plus, there is some news about upcoming Star Wars projects as well.

Star Wars News

Before the Vanity Fair discussion, the Scoundrels have two primary news stories to cover this week:

  • After the release dates for the next three Star Wars movies were announced last week, Star Wars fans now know who is in charge of those films, and
  • The Mandalorian and the Cassian Andor series aren't the only live action Star Wars shows coming to Disney+.

Dennis, Jay, and Darth Taxus have several opinions on what Bob Iger's announcements about upcoming movies and live action television shows on Disney+ mean.

Annie Leibovitz's The Rise of Skywalker photos in Vanity Fair

The talk of the Star Wars world for the past week has been all about Annie Leibovitz's photographs and Lev Grossman's article about The Rise of Skywalker in Vanity Fair. Now, the Scoundrels dive in and discuss:

  • The Knights of Ren,
  • The involvement of Jordan in filming the movie,
  • Keri Russell's character: Zorri Bliss,
  • The introduction of Richard E. Grant's character,
  • Billy Dee Williams returns to Star Wars,
  • Kylo Ren and Rey's Force connection,
  • Jannah and Finn riding on orbaks,
  • How Carrie Fisher was integrated into The Rise of Skywalker,
  • Luke Skywalker's role in The Rise of Skywalker, and
  • So much more.

Silence Fools

All the coverage of Annie Leibovitz's photographs from Vanity Fair, leaves little time at the end of the episode. Normally, and episode of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels ends with listener feedback. However, Scoundrel Nation was a little quiet in the past week. Therefore, Dennis and Jay ask Taxus about his impressions of The Mandalorian panel from Star Wars Celebration Chicago. Darth Taxus delivers big time.

The Scoundrels hope you enjoy episode 80: "Vanity Fair on The Rise of Skywalker" We hope you will consider subscribing to Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to episode 79 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: The Mandalorian Recap. On this episode, Jay and Dennis make up for the absence of Darth Taxus with their tribute to Peter Mayhew, a discussion of recent Star Wars news, and the conclusion of their Star Wars Celebration Recap. This is a big episode with a lot to discuss!

Remembering Peter Mayhew

The Star Wars community received the unfortunate news that Peter Mayhew, the man behind Chewbacca, passed away on April 30. Dennis and Jay take a moment to share their own memories of Mr. Mayhew. They also share tributes from other prominent actors from Star Wars. So long, Peter. May the Force be with you!

Star Wars News

Two items dominated Star Wars news this week, and Dennis and Jay are prepared to discuss them both:

  • The announcement of The Journey to The Rise of Skywalker publishing initiative, and
  • The announcement of the release dates of the next three Star Wars movies after The Rise of Skywalker.

We have a lot of thoughts, so join us for the discussion.

The Mandalorian and Other Star Wars Celebration Chicago Events

Star Wars Celebration Chicago may have concluded a month ago, but the Scoundrels can't stop talking about it. For this episode's "Hyperthetical," Dennis and Jay cover:

  • The Rebels Remembered Panel,
  • Jay meeting Hayden Christensen,
  • Meeting James Arnold Taylor, Tiya Sircar, and Dee Bradley Baker,
  • The Clone Wars panel,
  • The Phantom Menace panel,
  • The Mandalorian panel and The Mandalorian footage, and more.

There is still plenty to discuss from Star Wars Celebration Chicago, and we finish up the discussion on episode 79.

Silence Fools

Naturally, episode 79 wraps up with "Silence Fools!" Dennis and Jay discuss the results of the Scoundrel Twitter poll that asked what was the best Chewbacca moment from the original trilogy.

The Scoundrels hope you enjoy episode 79: "The Mandalorian Recap" We hope you will consider subscribing to Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to episode 78.1 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: May the Fourth be with You! On this episode, the Scoundrels are celebrating Star Wars Day with some Star Wars Trivial Pursuit. *NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to the news about Peter Mayhew's passing. We'll be discussing Mr. Mayhew in more detail on an upcoming episode.

Star Wars Trivial Pursuit

May 4th, Star Wars Days as it is known, is a day for the fans to celebrate the greatest franchise in cinema history. Therefore, Dennis, Jay, and Darth Taxus couldn't pass the day up without some sort of recognition. So, the Scoundrels get together for a little Star Wars Trivial Pursuit. Dennis is the game master and quizzes Taxus and Jay over three rounds of questions. Play along at home! Can you get all the answers?

Notes:

  • This game features the 1997 Special Edition of Star Wars Trivial Pursuit.
  • How many times will Taxus get a numbers question? Does the Dark Lord of Tax have an advantage there?
  • How many of the answers to the questions would be different if the Scoundrels were playing a current edition of the game?

The Scoundrels hope you enjoy episode 78.1: "May the Fourth be with You!" We hope you will consider subscribing to Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels wherever you get your podcasts.
