FBSW: The Inflatable Falcon

Demetrius, Anthony and Ken got together again to talk about some of the deeper / more philosophical inspirations for Star Wars. In this episode, they talked about how Joseph Campbell and religion influenced George Lucas and how those influences made their way across the Star Wars universe.  Whenever there's a conversation about religion, you can't always tell which way things will go. You wil...

Demetrius, Anthony and Ken join with two special guests, Dax Coste and Harry Jackson, about their lifelong connections to the incredible worlds of Star Wars that George Lucas created over 43 years ago.

The trio from Thank the Makers sat down to talk about our new name.  We also discussed the upcoming season of podcasts in which we will showcase, celebrate and thank the Makers who have brought Star Wars to life; directors, writers, actors, production designers, artists, musicians, writers and even toy and product designers! Buckle up, it's time to make the jump to hyperspace as we explore Th...

There was a lot of stuff to talk about related to Revenge of the Sith.  We talk about the blindness of the Jedi, a potentially misinterpreted prophecy and the kitchen sink.  

This is the third episode in which we talk about an entire Star Wars movie.  The animated Clone Wars movie came out in 2008 and it was not everybody's favorite film.  With that said, we talk about some of the great things that came from this movie including Dave Filoni's entrance into the Star Wars galaxy.

This is our second episode to use an entire Star Wars as the jumping off point for one conversation.  We talk about the lessons we learned from this movie and we also talked about whether or not we think the Jedi are the 'good' guys or the 'bad' guys.

This is our first episode to explore an entire Star Wars movie during one conversation.  Buckle up because it is our longest episode so far.  Be warned, we plan on doing this for all 14 Star Wars movies.  

During this episode, we talk about a muy, muy interesting Star Wars character and his name is Jar Jar Binks.  We hope you have as much fun listening to it as we had when we recorded it.  Be prepared, there will be more conversations about Jar Jar in the future.

It is not easy to predict where a conversation about Star Wars will go.  In this episode we started talking about the topic of rebellion, dipped into creatures in space and bounced to the new Baby Yoda toy.

We are excited to announce that our cast has officially grown by one.  This show is now hosted by Anthony, Ken and Demetrius.  In this episode, the three of us talk about current national events and some of their parallels in the Star Wars universe.  We also give you the chance to hear about how the world almost got a green Chewbacca. 

Anthony, Ken and a special guest spend time talking about the history of one of the space ships from Star Wars.  Two new sections to the Thank the Makers podcast are also introduced.
