  Yes, Paul does  sound creepy when he whispers.  Fortunately, the stars of the upcoming film sound great, and we talk a bit about accents and dialects.  We also talk about the eight seconds of new footage released earlier this month, about the upcoming availability of  Star Wars  on Netflix, and we give our "in a nutshell" reviews of Star Wars: Aftermath .

You may not know Clare Grant ( @ClareGrant ) by name, but you almost certainly know her work.  Remember Latts Razzi, the bounty hunter with the awesome weaponized boa from The Clone Wars ?  Or the voice of Princess Leia in the Star Wars: Smuggler's Gambit  audio drama?  Or the blonde in the "All About That Base" parody music video?  I could go on, but you should just listen to the episode instead....

WE'RE BAAAAAAACK, well, sort of. We love having a new episode of Star Wars Rebels to talk about it but we're not so thrilled that it came right in the middle of convention season! Sorry for the delay in getting this episode out to you all, but it's a good one. Join Spencer as he hosts a roundtable discussion with the gang from RadioFreeTatooine.com.  Guests:   Radio Free Tatooine (@RFtatooine)  ♦ ...

  What can we learn from the Rogue One cast photo?  Megan, Paul, and John take a close look at the characters and actors revealed at D23, as well as thoughts on Rogue One  in general.  Is the new cast up to the task?  Will the anthology films confuse the mainstream audience expecting the next episode in the main saga?  Will Colin Trevorrow be able to pull off such a drastically different Star Wars...
