Welcome to episode 69 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: The Force Begins. On this episode, Dennis, Jay, and Darth Taxus look back to their initial impressions of the Force after the release of A New Hope.  Before they get to the news, the Scoundrels discuss the potential for the Russos to direct a movie and Dennis reports on the John Williams Christmas concert at the Dallas Symphony.

Star Wars in the News

It was a busy week for Star Wars news. The Scoundrels discussing casting and production news for the live action Star Wars television series. Also, they discuss additional guest announcements for Star Wars Celebration Chicago. In addition, the news includes discussion of a new Darth Vader comic and a new Thrawn novel. Finally, the news concludes with a discussion of Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures.

The Force Begins

An episode of Galaxy of Adventures features Luke receiving Anakin's lightsaber. However, the animation of that scene is far different than the scene presented in A New Hope. This got the Scoundrels thinking, "what were our early impressions of the Force 40 years ago?" In this week's "Hyperthetical," they look back on the presentation and introduction of the Force to movie audiences from A New Hope.

Silence Fools!

As with every episode, episode 69 ends with another edition of "Silence Fools!" For listeners new to Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels, "Silence Fools!" is the feedback and listener participation segment of this show. On this week's show, they Scoundrels answer a listener email and discuss whether Obi-Wan should have done more to counter Palpatine's influence of Anakin.

Thanks for tuning into episode 69 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: The Force Begins. We hope you enjoyed this our discussion of the the introduction of the Force.

elcome to episode 68.2 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: Secrets and Holograms. On this episode, Dennis, Jay, and Darth Taxus take a look at the discoveries Kaz makes while spying on Captain Doza. However, those discoveries are set against a backdrop of adventure with the captain's daughter: Torra Doza.

Secrets and Holograms

"Secrets and Holograms" begins with Torra Doza lamenting her boredom in her bedroom. After confronting her father about his dealings with the First Order, she decides to sneak out. Very quickly, she bumps (literally) into Kaz and BB-8. Although Kaz tags along for her trip to the market, he is really interested in spying on Torra's father.

On this episode, the Scoundrels discuss Kaz's continuing evolution as a spy. Plus, when presented with a straightforward question about whether he is a spy, Kaz answers with a poor excuse for a lie. Does he have a day of reckoning coming? In addition, the First Order is making a move on Colossus. What will the results be.

Thanks for tuning into episode 68.1 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: Secrets and Holograms. We hope you enjoyed this discussion of the latest episode of Resistance.
