Tatooine Sons: A Star Wars Podcast

If you’ve listened to this show before, you’ve heard the moment that BB-N8 asked Rian Johnson a question that changed Star Wars Canon forever. But that one moment is only a fraction of the story. This week, BB-N8 and Samuel the Hutt join me to look at all of the amazing twists and turns in what we call “The Legend of Terbus the Porg.” You already know the basics of the story: we get invited to IMA...

Some of the most amazing epic stories in all of history are found in the Bible. And over the years, many have tried to adapt these stories into comic book form. But too often, these comics end up disappointing. Today, I’m joined by two of the creative minds behind a new series that seeks to change all of that. Chronicles of Faith is a collaboration between Mercy Ways Studios and Brainy Pixel that...

This Week on Tatooine Sons! Samuel the Hutt is our resident Boba Fett fan... BB-N8 is the only fan podcaster to name an official Star Wars creature...

When he was a kid, his family bought a school bus and drove to Alaska where they lived for two years. He spent several years researching primates. He adventured all around the world writing travel guides and covering stories for CNN, CNBC and National Geographic. After all that, he started writing books about Star Wars and Marvel. Oh, and his grandfather was a famous biblical archeologist. My gues...

This Week on Tatooine Sons: The storyline in The Book of Boba Fett has basically caught up to where we were we The Mandalorian reintroduced Boba Fett to fans last year. Where does the story go now? The Moon Knight trailer was NOT what we expected. We talk about what was different and what we can expect going forward. Superman and Lois made a classic CW mistake in Episode 2 of Season 2. But still,...

When it comes to fan websites, they really don’t get much better than Fantha Tracks. The site is one we’ve been using to find great Star Wars news for years. And I am so excited to be joined this week by the genius behind the site - I call him “Mr. Fantha Tracks” - Mark Newbold.

Last week, I talked with Brian Godawa about superheroes and the hero’s journey. This week, we’re going down the rabbit hole even further to talk about the monomyth, the supernatural worldview, and whether these ideas should make us more skeptical about the Bible. Brian Godawa is an award-winning Hollywood screenwriter known for films like To End All Wars starring Kiefer Sutherland and the film ada...

This Week on Tatooine Sons! Chapter 2 of The Book of Boba Fett has lots of superfans very excited. But could the deep dives into Star War Canon end up hurting the show in the eyes of casual Star Wars fans? Plus: Cobra Kai Season 4 was absolutely pointless... and still fun to watch. But what does this mean for Season 5? And this week brings the premiere of Season 2 of Superman and Lois! The CW isn'...

Why is our culture so obsessed with superheroes? These films are always the biggest box office hits. Our streaming services can’t seem to release new series fast enough. Is it just our love for action movies? Or could there be something deeper going on connected to the story written on our souls. Screenwriter and author, Brian Godawa joins me in this episode to look at this question and more. Bria...

It’s been said that there are only seven stories in the world, and every movie, TV show, video game and book we love follows one of those plot points. I’m not sure I believe that at all. But I do think that there is a right way to tell a story, and a wrong way. Today, I’m joined by author and award winning screenwriter Geoffrey Calhoun to discuss what makes a great story. Geoffrey is the best-sell...

This Week on Tatooine Sons: The Book of Boba Fett premieres TOMORROW! 🤯Could more than 40 years of hype (and the headcanon that comes along with it) be too much for this series to live up to? We LOVED Matrix Resurrections. But that doesn't mean it wasn't one of the weirdest movies we've ever seen. The finale of Hawkeye was a mixed bag for a lot of people. We'll talk about what we liked, some thin...

I just got an email from AMC Theaters. If you’re a part of the AMC Stubs A-List and you saw Spider-Man: No Way Home on opening weekend, you probably got one too. It’s about a special NFT assigned exclusively to you. It has monetary value. And if you’re like me, you’re probably clueless about this and everything surrounding what is being called Web 3.0. Fortunately, Dion Wilson is back for the seco...

Last week I was searching around the internet looking for a Star Wars topic for our main show - the one that comes out on Tuesdays - when I came across an article about a show reopening in New York City this month called A Musical About Star Wars.

If you listened to our show a couple of weeks ago, you already know that we weren’t the biggest fans of Eternals. We laid out our reasons for that in our review episode. Most of the time, we’d just move on and not talk about it again, because that’s what well adjusted people do. But today, I’m breaking that rule as we look at WHY Eternals doesn’t work. And I’m doing that with my friend, Lucas Pinc...
