Tatooine Sons: A Star Wars Podcast

But the Star Wars Show revealed something this week that might have turned everything we expected about The Rise of Skywalker on its head. So… do you remember that “fake” (wink wink) poster for The Rise Of Skywalker that came out in early Spring? Just about everything in it has been confirmed by now. But I’m not...

Could the Chosen One Prophecy Be Wrong? The mythology of Star Wars was sent into hyperspace when Qui Gon Jinn first mentioned the prophecy of the “Chosen One” in The Phantom Menace.

This week, we take a closer look at this central element of the Skywalker saga. In the 20 y...

Is Han Solo Rey’s Father? A rumor thread on Reddit has accomplished something that no Star Wars property has ever done before: unite Star Wars fans! (That’s what happens when you successfully dishonor Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Rey in one fell swoop). Here’s the theory… Rey is Han Solo's daughter, but she is NOT Leia Organa's daughter (and therefore is NOT a Skywalker). Leia and Han apparently b...

Welcome Star Wars fans to Episode 57 of Tatooine Sons.
