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.

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.

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

  • Meeting James Arnold Taylor, Tiya Sircar, and Dee Bradley Baker,
  • The Clone Wars panel,

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?

The Scoundrels on Twitter: Dennis Keithly can be followed @DJKver2, Darth Taxus is @DarthTaxus, and Jay Krebs is @JoyceKrebs.

SCubedPod thrives on listener feedback. Therefore, Dennis, Taxus, and Jay would love to read your email on the show. To reach them, email the show at SCubedPod@RetroZap.com. For instance, have an opinion on Star Wars comics, Rebels, or the novels? We want to hear it. Also, have a question about some Star Wars detail? Send it to us! It doesn't have to be Star Wars to make it on our show.

Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels T-Shirts can be purchased here.

Finally, Dennis, Taxus, and Jay would appreciate an iTunes review for the show. Thank you.
