STAR WARSY STUFF [1:50]
::
We've been watching quite a bit of Clone Wars recently. We've powered through the second half of season 4, which means we watched the first Maul arc. We discuss whether or not it’s plausible that Obi Wan would so willingly team
up with Ventress. (I find it suspect.)

Anna reads an exceptionally funny Star Wars Mad Libs that Liam did (which gives this episode it's title)

Anna has started reading Lost Stars!

In episode 12 of Children of the Force, we discuss the news that dropped over the last week or so, including all the goodies in Entertainment Weekly and everything that came out of the Disney convention, D23.
Follow along with our show guide for this episode at http://childrenoftheforce.com Over there, you'll find photos and links and way more than you see in these little show notes.
Colin Trevorrow is directing Episode
VIII. What does this mean for dewbacks everywhere? Just kidding. We don’t ask
that question.
The kids freak out (in the best way) over the new Drew Struzan poster for The Force Awakens. But
not so much over the new photo from Rogue One.
Could someone else be in that TIE that Finn’s running away from?
If a ship has been replaced, piece
by piece, is it still the same ship you started with? Is there a way to do it
so gradually that no one notices?
Liam’s theory: The Knights of Ren are
good guys and Kylo Ren betrayed them.
Join us and together we will speculate wildly as Father and Son and Daughter
and Listener….
Connect with us, you will...

STAR WARSY STUFF [2:45]
The kids and I discuss Star Wars Prequel Appreciation Week. I get on my prequel soapbox.

And don't forget (like I've been doing all week) that this week is The Clone Wars Appreciation Week. #SWTCWAW
NEWS [10:15]
We talk about that Korean TV spot for The Force Awakens. Also, the Star
Wars saga is being released on Blu-ray again. Liam notices that two of the
Blu-ray covers are not like the others. One isn’t a main character. The other
isn’t a bad guy!
CANON NEWS [20:45]
Yellow! It's a lightsaber color!
JOKE [23:30]
Knock Knock. Who’s there? Tattoo. Tattoo who?
QUESTION & ANSWER COUNCIL [24:15]
If you could introduce any lightsaber color into canon, what color would it be?
What was your favorite day of Star Wars Prequels Appreciation Week?
What’s your favorite vehicle in the Star Wars prequels?
