Good Morning Alderaan

The amazing Ben Acker donated his short story to us relating to a certain scene in Empire Strikes Back which I'm sure you'll hope gets incorporated into canon someday!  Have an awesome May 4th Everyone!  Pat, Andy & Ryan

We had the incredible opportunity to speak with Boba Fett himself of A New Hope Special Edition, Mark Anthony Austin and how a childhood dream was realized! Mark also discusses some of the huge movies he's been a part of along with some of the most surprising aspects he's discovered from being in Star Wars. Have an awesome May the 4th and keep an eye out for a special treat tomorrow!  Check out Ma...

We're officially old enough to do a "best of's" episode!

HR is onto us now, but we make it work with some fancy censorship. The guys have some fun on a Sunday morning recording (hence why this episode is a few hours late, apologies!) and get down and dirty exploring the articles below, and really get into theory town about the Bad Batch and future Star Wars series, weaving quite the tapestry! Baby of Vader not allowed to watch daddy at work - https://ww...

We had yet another incredible guest join us this week. Marc Thompson explains some of the behind-the-scenes of narrating Star Wars audiobooks, and some of the secrecy protocols are crazy!!!

What a pro.   Other tidbits for the week inc...

ADULT LANGUAGE WARNING - This was a PASSIONATE episode folks. Not only were we celebrating St. Patrick's Day together, but we decided to talk about all the things we don't like about Star Wars! It was a recipe for disaster right from the start and we must inform you that there is a TON more swearing than we usually like to air, and for that, we apologize and/or hope you enjoy the goofiness anyways...

Good Morning Alderaan would like to welcome their newest anchor to the team, Ryan! Ryan brings with him some amazing perspectives and is perhaps king of the called shots. Adding him just made sense as Pat and Andy continue their quest to be the Blink-182 of Star Wars podcasts. BTW if you know Tom Delonge, please ask him if he'll stop by our podcast. Talking points for this week: - Is George Lucas...

This week we have our first non-theatrical chat about that wacky new Baby Yoda Show that everyone's talking about!

A day late, but not a buck short because this episode is pure gold! We got to sit down with Hollywood writing legend Bruce Vilanch to discuss his writing of the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. We find out the origins of Boba Fett, why there weren't any subtitles, and just what was going on in the writing room of that infamous TV special. Bruce also shares how he came to Hollywood in the first plac...

Pat & Andy get bizzay discussing the news such as Lucasfilms Games being announced, addressing rumours circulating the web regarding Grand Admiral Thrawn, and getting down and DIRTY regarding a new theory circulating that the sequel trilogy is in an ALTERNATE reality (watch Star Wars Rebels Season 4, ep. 13 for context).  The prequel era and the guys' feelings on it are discussed, followed by...

We're now starting off with news and updates from the past week or so in the world of Star Wars, followed by a "review" segment.  This week the fellas talk about developing a "spoiler safe word" to protect our beloved listeners, chat about the new Expanded Universe content in the release of "The High Republic," wishing Tom Ka...

Thanks for checking out Episode 1, and boy was it a doozy!  This episode is us introducing ourselves and our thoughts on the ghosts of Star Wars past, present, and future!  What will the recently announced Star Wars shows hold?
