We all love J.W. Rinzler’s Making of Star Wars book but did you know that in 2013 there was an enhanced digital edition that had 17 rare audio tracks? Don’t worry as this week we’re discussing all of them! From McQuarrie to Alec Guinness ADR sessions, these have it all! Links ⬇️

TUESDAY! We’re back as we explore the “secret” audio tracks from 2013 digital edition of JW Rinzler’s Making of Star Wars! These tracks were hidden in the archives for decades & reveal the making of SW in a way you’ve maybe never heard before. Look for it everywhere Tuesday!

We love some serious drama in Star Wars and we also love a good old fashioned burping puppet in Star Wars.
Tune in for one of our most unhinged episodes ever talking about that Mandalorian and Grogu teaser.

As always, Jason and Gabe bring the goods about the excellent Mando and Grogu trailer, and when people are “too cool” for Mando. And I’m so glad they addressed the ugliness of the Disney stuff, and what happens when real world crap mixes with our fandoms.

the @blastpoints.bsky.social guys said it perfectly: “I might be a little full because I had my fancy French cuisine that won some Emmys. But sometimes you just want a big greasy burger and a banana milkshake. And I just saw a trailer for one today.”

i can't wait for my star war calories

Oh yeah, the Michael Wolff who wrote this piece was my favorite Starlog writer - he wrote a ton of fun thinkpieces about how/why time travel or invisibility work the way they do in different franchises, and tried to make sense of those differences to create universal theories of fussy fan nerdiness.
