STAR WARSY STUFF [1:45]

I finally finished Rebel Rising. It's a nice companion to Inferno Squad. 

WHAT’S THAT SOUND? [2:35]

How did they make the Ewok language and Ewok war cries? Ben Burtt was a busy guy.

We also get into a discussion of whether or not it’s responsible to use languages from our world when constructing languages for characters like the Ewoks. What do you think?

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Episode IX is getting a re-write by Jack Thorne. Yay!

Kieron Gillen is going to be writing the Star Wars comic now, instead of Jason Aaron. His first story arc will take place on Jedha.

It's a new segment! With a new song!

Finally, is Rex the old guy on Endor? We explore arguments for and against it, both from a pro-representation standpoint.
