Andor is just around the corner! We participated in three roundtable interviews with Diego Luna (Cassian Andor & Executive Producer), Genevieve O’Reilly (Mon Mothma), and Kyle Soller (Syril Karn) & Denise Gough (Dedra Meero) where we got to ask them about their roles in the upcoming series. What makes Cassian so compelling? If the Rebellion is built on hope, what is the Empire built on? How does Mon Mothma’s incredible fashion inform Genevieve’s performance? All this and more on this incredible episode of Skytalkers. Thank you SO much to Disney and Lucasfilm for this opportunity!
We want to thank our fellow roundtable participants — and honor to be a part of this with you!: Talking Bay 94, Star Wars Explained, Triad of the Force, Jedi News UK, Skywalking Through Neverland, Star Wars Holocron, Father Son Galaxy, Pink Milk, Fangirls Going Rogue, and Coffee with Kenobi.

With Andor right around the corner, Caitlin and Charlotte revisit 2016’s ROGUE ONE and talk about it through the lens of 3 different themes: Hate, Trust, and Redemption. In part one, we talk about hate, self-loathing, and righteous hatred. In part two, we talk about how trust has a domino-effect throughout the film and ultimately serves as the glue. Finally, in part three, we talk about how ROGUE ONE is a redemption story. All this and more on Skytalkers.

In part 3 of our series covering the anthology “Our Blessed Rebel Queen”, we look at Andrew Kemp-Wilcox’s essay, “Harvesting the Celebrity Interface: Carrie Fisher, Virtual Performance, and Software Stars”. The essay covers the topics of digital performance, online persona, the concept of the “software celebrity”, and consumerism. We continue analyzing our relationship to Princess Leia and Carrie Fisher: How we have been consumers of her image and persona and how we have projected ourselves onto her. We talk through these topics and our own ever-changing relationship with constructed images and celebrity.

We’re LIVE at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim! Here’s our discussion of the first two episodes of our most anticipated show of the year, Obi-Wan Kenobi. We loved sharing this experience with you all! Please note: there’s a Q&A portion at the end that gets a bit wonky with the audio; I raised the levels so the questions are discernible but it’s a little strange, audio-wise.
