Skywalking Through Neverland: A Star Wars / Disney Fan Podcast
Star Wars, Disney, Marvel fans, this is the podcast for you! Husband and wife team Richard and Sarah (plus LOTS of interviews with amazing guests) cover Star Wars, Disney and pop culture fandom - the stuff that surrounds us, penetrates us and binds us all together as instantaneous friends! So grab a glass of blue milk and take the second star to the right straight on to this podcast. Become a Skywalker!
This whole show is devoted to your questions! Richard and Sarah have been podcasting for almost 8 years, and in that time we’ve gained new listeners and shared many, many stories. So now it’s time to turn the show over to you and your questions. Thanks to the Skywalkers in our Facebook Group, we had many questions to choose from. Perhaps you haven’t heard how we met. Or how we work and live together so well (or not!). This is your chance to find out more about us. Here are some of the questions we answer:
- Alan Sanborn: How did you two meet and did you both share a common interest in Star Wars and in all things Disney before you met?
- Rex Gordon: Do you think Galaxy’s Edge should’ve been based on the more recognizable Mos Eisley?
- Cary Gordon: Do you guys have any fandoms you love that the other one is not a fan of.
- Bryn MacKinnon: What are the best, worst and surprising parts of working and sharing fandoms with your spouse?
- John Zancanaro: What do you do for work besides your podcasting?
- Chickaphant: If you could live in any of the universes that you’ve a fan of, which one would it be and what occupation would you have?
- Three Fandoms Giveaway on YouTube: check this post to enter.
- Digital Giveaway of Pixar's SOUL: @skywalkingpod instagram

Never Land on Alderaan!
Welcome back to Westview and WandaVision! This first Disney+ Original Marvel series is a mystery/romance that kept fans guessing for nine weeks on the fate of Wanda Maximoff and Vision. So now it’s time to debrief and decompress with our friends Tricia Barr and BJ Priester, both founders of FangirlBlog and Hyperspace Theories, to analyze the storytelling and world-building of this marvelous show. We also discuss how risky WandaVision was for Marvel, film score and music analysis and our overall thoughts. Where will these characters will go from here? And where are Billy and Tommy!
Raya and the Last Dragon premiered on Disney+’s Premiere Access and in theatres on March 5th. Richard and Sarah share a spoiler-free review and help you decide whether or not to purchase Walt Disney Studios’ latest animated feature film. Raya features the voices of Kelly Marie Tran (Rose Tico from The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker) who turned in a fantastic and emotional job as Raya. Akwafina voices Sisu the Dragon.
Story Synopsis: Long ago, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony. However, when sinister monsters known as the Druun threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity. Now, 500 years later, those same monsters have returned, and it's up to Raya to track down the last dragon and stop the Druun for good.

Never Land on Alderaan!
It’s a Podcast Party with Corey Dee Williams and Stephen Costantino as they reminisce about their time playing Jabba’s henchmen in Return of the Jedi! Corey played Klaatu and also doubled for his dad Billy Dee as Lando Calrissian. Stephen played a Gamorrean Guard - both had a blast during the filming of the Sail Barge Battle back in 1982. So many great stories, they even share tales that the other didn’t know!
Corey and Stephen are musicians, and they are working on a project called 3-Dee Nucleus, collaborating with about 30 musicians. It’s a tremendous project! Check it out, as well as Cloud City Funk, a completely awesome music video rife with Star Wars actors and cosplayers.

Never Land on Alderaan!
You had such a great response to last week's episode on The Muppet Show, that we decided to extend the Muppet celebration. Yeeeeaaaaaaaaayyy!! Richard dug deep and found clips of the Muppets and Jim Henson as guests on other shows like The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Joan Rivers Show, Arsenio Hall and lots more. We have to warn you, some topics and language are more risque than we’ve had on the show before. These are late night talk shows!
After one week, we've binged about 12 episodes of the 1st season of The Muppet Show. Since this is the first time Sarah has seen the show, she has some revised thoughts and opinions from last week. Moving forward, we will check in every week or so as we continue our Muppet Show rewatch.
So many Skywalkers chimed in with fun responses to last week's episode, so we share a TON of your comments in Skywalker Shout-Outs.
Check out the links in our show notes to watch all the Talk Show clips you heard on this episode: http://skywalkingthroughneverland.com/319-great-muppet-appearances/

Skywalking through The Muppet Show! February 19th marks the first time all five seasons of The Muppet Show (1976-1981) will be available in your homes - streaming on Disney+. With that in mind, Mark Oguschewitz - the biggest Muppet fan we know - joins Richard and Sarah for a 2+ hour celebration of Muppets. First, Richard gives us a mini-Muppet Primer - history of how the Muppets evolved and became the Muppet Show. Then we share our favorite Muppet Show moments, favorite and least favorite Muppet, and ask intriguing questions. If you could bring a star of today back to The Muppet Show who would it be? Who do we wish appeared on the show before it stopped airing? Please share your thoughts with us, too.

Never Land on Alderaan!
Artist and illustrator Greg Hildebrandt, of Brothers Hildebrandt fame, sits down with us to discuss the famous Star Wars poster, his artistic inspirations and so much more. There is no other image that brings you back to the classic days of Star Wars than the legendary poster of Luke holding his Lightsaber above his head, Princess Leia with her blaster at the ready, and the LOOMING ominous helmet of Darth Vader floating in the background.
This poster was illustrated by brothers, Tim and Greg Hildebrandt, back in 1977, but you may also recognize their artwork from the best-selling Lord of the Rings calendar, The Harry Potter magic card decks, Star Trek and Marvel Comics, the Shadows of the Empire trading card set, his recent series of Pin-Up Beauties, and several pieces for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Not only a storyteller in paintings, Mr. Hildebrandt tells amazing stories and shares his artistic inspirations with us. See all of his artwork at SpiderwebArt.com.
Now to hear the totally ridiculous but true story of Greg, Michael Jackson and Marlon Brando’s squirt gun fight and the events that lead up to it, you must be a member of the Skywalking Force. And yes Michael’s pet/buddy, Bubbles works his way into the story!

Star Wars: The High Republic is here! Mike Celestino (Laughing Place / Who’s The Bossk Podcast) and Drew Kaplan (Star Wars Maven) join Sarah and Richard on a spoiler-free discussion of the first three High Republic novels. They also share highs, lows and personal highlights of 2020. GOODBYE 2020 and welcome 2021! Keep reading below to learn more about The High Republic.
Star Wars: The High Republic
The High Republic is a collection of interconnected stories for adults, teens and kids from a variety of publishers including Disney/Lucasfilm Press, Del Rey, IDW Publishing, and Marvel. The initial books and comics come from fan-favorite authors such as Claudia Gray, Justina Ireland, Daniel José Older, Cavan Scott, and Charles Soul.
These stories are set 200 years before the Skywalker Saga, when the Jedi Order and Galactic Republic are at their peak. Think of the line Ben Kenobi tells Luke in Star Wars, “For over a thousand generations the Jedi Knights have been the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy…” THIS time period is what Ben was referring to as told to us by Michael Siglain, Director of Creative Franchise at Disney–Lucasfilm Press. The High Republic is established in the Core worlds, but places like the Outer Rim are considered the frontier.

Never Land on Alderaan!
Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #27 “Return of the Hunter!” is perhaps the BEST issue so far in this comic series!! Bounty hunter Valance appears, bringing with him all the melodramatic feels of his half human, half cyborg self. We were blown away by the resonating themes and action as Valance confronts Luke, goding him on with insulting name in the galaxy, "droid lover!" Luke and Threepio have some great buddy moments together too, and the three characters are pitted against each other in a final confrontation with a surprising end. Richard and Sarah discuss the comic and find FTOOM! Fast Facts (classic comic things that appear now in Star Wars books, comics and films) - including Valance appearing in a NEW and currently ongoing Marvel comics series Star Wars Bounty Hunters.
Watch the Unedited Episode and See the Comic Book Pages
Show Notes:
Title: "RETURN OF THE HUNTER"
Release Date: June 26, 1979
Writer: Archie Goodwin
Artwork: Carmine Infantino, Bob Wiacek, Petra Goldberg
Cover Art: Carmine Infantino
Editor: Jim Shooter, Archie Goodwin
Synopsis: This time Luke is hunted by the bounty hunter, Valance (That we originally met in issue 16). Forced to live as a cyborg due to injuries sustained from an aerial torpedo, Valance's mission is to find Luke Skywalker. Not only is Luke a droid-owner, but he also apparently treats them as equals, which Valance finds repulsive.
Meanwhile, Luke has taken C-3PO with him and is mapping out the perimeter of the Galactic Empire's most recent blockade. He deftly maneuvers his ship out of the way of an oncoming Imperial cruiser and hides out on the planet of Junction and also looks for a trading post so that he can find parts needed to make repairs to R2-D2.
Luke and C-3PO arrive at a salvage yard where they are confronted by Valance and a battle is underway! Will this confrontation end in an emotional struggle? Stay tuned and find out!

We celebrate Dave Prowse, the man behind the Darth Vader mask; and share our thoughts and your comments on The Mandalorian S2 - Chapter 13 “The Jedi”. SPOILERS AHEAD.
On 11/29 the world received the sad news that David Prowse had passed away at the age of 85. Not only was he the onscreen Darth Vader in the Original Trilogy, he has had an incredible career beginning in 1962. We share a summary of his career including film highlights.
Then it’s time to talk AHSOKA and the amazingness that is The Mandalorian S2 episode “The Jedi” directed by Dave Filoni.
Synopsis: Mando follows Bo Katan’s tip to find a Jedi by heading to the planet Corvis. There he finds Ahsoka Tano!! Ahsoka and Mando team up to free the city from an Imperial remnant Magistrate - Morgan Elsbeth, and we learn Baby Yoda’s name and a bit of his backstory.
We get into our thoughts on Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka, Baby Yoda’s name, Easter Eggs in this episode, the name-drop of THRAWN and all of our Skywalker’s comments. And if you haven’t yet, please read this entire Vanity Fair article featuring interviews with Dave Filoni and Rosario Dawson, which also addresses the allegations surrounding Dawson and her family. An eye-opening read.

This episode is a smorgasbord of comments and thoughts from you and us about The Mandalorian S2E1: The Marshal. Din (F105 Music) joins us as we give our thoughts, go over Easter Eggs and debate if Dank Farrick is the new “I have Spoken!” We recorded this episode live, so we have several Skywalkers weighing in with their thoughts, as well as great comments from our Facebook Group discussion.

We bring HalloweenTime to You!
It’s HalloweenTime! We can’t go to the Disney Parks to celebrate, so we’ll bring the season to you. This week we’ll share the truly chilling Haunted mazes found at Hong Kong Disneyland. They took the horror mazes found at Knotts Scary Farm and Universal Horror Nights and Disneyfied them. It makes us deeply jealous that we don’t have these in the US.
We also talk about our favorite scary Disney attractions, and reminisce about a certain terrifying dragon in her lair underneath a castle…

Never Land on Alderaan!
In the summer of ‘81, Disneyland featured a band that mashed up KISS and Star Wars that sang about “Jailbait”! It was called HALYX, formed by Disney Record execs to play at the Space Stage in Tomorrowland and hopefully capture a bone fide record deal. On this episode, we speak with Matthew Serrano, the director of the documentary, Live From the Space Stage: A Halyx Story. You can watch the documentary on YouTube.
This fascinating piece of Disney history lives on in the DeFunctland YouTube Channel. Matthew also directed the mini documentary, Remain Seated Please about two guys and their passion for boldly going where no guest had gone before - backstage of the EPCOT attraction Horizons.

Never Land on Alderaan!
Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #26 “DOOM Mission!” is the finale of a 2-part storyline involving Luke and Leia exploring shady business surrounding the planet Yavin and discovering a hidden Imperial base run by Baron Tagge. You're in for a treat with this rousing issue featuring death-defying action, Leia gaining strength through a good cry and Luke using the Force as a guide. Richard and Sarah discuss the comic and find FTOOM! Fast Facts (classic comic things that appear now in Star Wars books, comics and films.)
Title: "DOOM MISSION"
Release Date: May 22, 1979
Writer: Archie Goodwin
Artwork: Carmine Infantino, Bob Wiacek, Petra Goldberg
Cover Art: Carmine Infantino / Bob Wiacek
Consulting Editor: Jim Shooter
Synopsis: Luke and Leia are being attacked by two TIE fighters. Just as the situation appears hopeless, X-wings arrive and destroy the two enemy fighters.
Once Luke and Leia get back to the base, they inform General Dodonna about the TIE fighters cleverly entering the gaseous atmosphere of Yavin. Since Yavin's atmosphere is too thick for conventional signalling, they deduce that the House of Tagge and the Empire have developed some new signalling technology and set up a launch station within the gas giant. Luke goes on a mission to retrieve one of the signalling units from a downed TIE fighter, and R2-D2 is critically damaged in the process.
With no other choice, Luke sets out in a captured TIE fighter, fitted with the new signalling unit, through the atmosphere of Yavin to the House of Tagge Launch Station within the dangerous Yavin atmosphere. Now, Will Luke survive this Doom Mission? Stay tuned to find out...

We go back to 1987 with Dan Madsen! Over Memorial Day weekend in 1987, Star Wars was celebrating its 10th Anniversary. To commemorate such a milestone, Starlog Magazine held a convention in Los Angeles called, “Starlog Salutes Star Wars–A 10th Anniversary Tribute to George Lucas and the Galaxy Far, Far Away Which He Created!” We prefer the title – Star Wars Celebration 0.
Only a few thousand fans attended, as opposed to the tens of thousands that attend these past Celebrations. I was there and, another big Star Wars fan was there, a fan who would rise in the ranks to become the founder and president of the new Star Wars fans club and publisher of the upcoming Lucasfilm Fan Club magazine, Dan Madsen! On this episode we will listen to a selection of the George Lucas Q&A Panel, and comment on his answers. What predictions and statements came to be? What was George's answer to a pointed question, "Why is there only 1 woman in Star Wars?" George's answers may blow your mind.

Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #25 “Siege At Yavin” is the first of a 2-part storyline involving Luke and Leia exploring some shady business surrounding the planet Yavin, near the Rebel base. Richard and Sarah discuss the comic and find FTOOM! Fast Facts - names and planets that show up later in Star Wars books, comics and films. It's fascinating the amount of material that's pulled from these original comics.

Writer: Archi Goodwin
Artwork:Carmine Infantino, Gene Day and Ben Sean
Cover Art: Carmine Infantino / Bob Wiacek
Synopsis: The Rebel base on Yavin is being attacked by a TIE Fighter squadron. And no one knows where they came from since there is no base or ships in the sector. Meanwhile, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker arrive at the trading world, Centares, to trade in their ship for a less traceable craft since The Empire saw them.
As they leave the planet they discover that a House of Tagge Mining Explorer is on its way to Yavin. Knowing the Tagge's ties with the Empire and fearing for the security of the Rebel base on Yavin 4, they decide to follow them and investigate further.
They discover that the Mining Explorer is transporting Imperial TIE fighters to Yavin and hiding the fighters in the thick gaseous atmosphere of the giant planet.
Luke and Leia realize that this can only mean danger for the Rebel base and rush to alert them, but are intercepted by an Imperial patrol...

Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #24 “Silent Drifting” is a stand-alone story featuring the early days of General Ben "Obi-Wan" Kenobi. This is the first time the SWEU delved into the Galactic Republic! But with a name like "Silent Drifting," is the story good? Chris Alexander (Star Wars Origami) joins us on our journey through this classic Marvel Star Wars comic from 1979.
Show Notes:
Title:"SILENT DRIFTING"
Release Date: MARCH 27, 1979
Writer:Mary Jo Duffy
Artwork:Carmine Infantino, Bob Wiacek and Petra Goldberg
Cover Art:Carmine Infantino / Bob Wiacek
Synopsis:After Han Solo skillfully pilots the Millennium Falcon to destroy two TIE fighters patrols, Princess Leia mentions that Jedi pilots developed that same maneuver. She recounts one particular event involving Obi-Wan Kenobi.
In a flashback we see Kenobi, traveling as a passenger on a pleasure cruiser, and is notified by Captain Quasar that Merson pirates have been spotted. The attacking ships are quickly destroyed in a maneuver set forth by Obi-Wan, but now he suspects the Mersons to have been lured by a signal from within the cruiser. The passengers quickly form a mob and start pointing fingers, but Kenobi is not as quick to judge without proof.
Now Obi-wan has to battle the mob inside and the attacking ships outside! Now, how will Jedi Knight Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi bring peace to the galaxy?

In honor of its 40th Anniversary, this episode is all about publicity on The Empire Strikes Back, with special guest Craig Miller (Lucasfilm Publicity 1970s-1980s). We talk about how the publicity campaign was a pioneer for its time, ushering in a new way of marketing movies that continues to this day. Some of these include a 1-800 number to speak with your favorite Star Wars character, articles in Bantha Tracks, and The Muppet Show appearance. Craig was largely responsible for all content of Bantha Tracks, the first Star Wars fan club magazine, and talks about the lead-up to TESB through its pages.
We dedicate this episode to the memory of Charlie Lippincott, who just passed away on May 19th. Mr. Lippincott worked as the Senior VP of Adverstising, Publicity, Promotion and Merchandising at Lucasfilm, and was a mastermind of promotion.

Never Land on Alderaan!
Sheltering in place has allowed many of us to come up with creative ways to spend our time. We talked with Skywalkers to see what creative projects they've been up to since mid-March. Jim Astin does funny toyography (like the Show Picture above). Joey Pittman and Joshua Jordan have been ramping up their podcasting. Joshua and Eric Onkenhouthave been blogging. Kai Charles came up with great ways to maintain sanity and reduce stress. Chris Kowalski is tweaking a Kenner Action Figure cosplay and Rachel Hayes is cross-stitching Disneyland since we all can't go!
Ahsoka leads Republic clones to confront Maul's forces on Mandalore. Maul senses the impending chaos and makes a calculated play to ensure his own survival.
We spend over 30 minutes breaking down this INSANE episode as we chat live with Skywalkers who joined us on YouTube Live during our recording. Impressions, Easter eggs and symbolism - it's all here.

Never Land on Alderaan!
Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #21 "Shadow of a Dark Lord" features...you guessed it...Darth Vader! This is his first appearance in Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics since Issue #6. "Shadow of a Dark Lord" is the 4th chapter in a 6-issue story arc featuring Luke, Leia, Han, the droids and Chewbacca on The Wheel - a floating casino in space. After being separated for several issues, our heroes are starting to reunite in preparation for the biggest threat yet - Darth Vader himself!!

Title: "SHADOW OF A DARK LORD"
Release Date: DECEMBER 19, 1978
Writer: Archie Goodwin
Artwork: Carmine Infantino and Gene Day
Cover Art: Carmine Infantino / Terry Austin
Synopsis: Now in this issue, that has lots of Disney-sequel foreshadowing, Princess Leia escapes from Simon Greyshade - the administrator of the casino in space known as - The Wheel. Leia has found Luke, who has now recovered from his trance-like state after facing his most dreaded fear - Darth Vader!
Meanwhile Greyshade has secretly sent his Security Force to recover the money that the Empire had stolen from The Wheel.
Across the galaxy on the planet Ultaar, Darth Vader finds the remains of a Rebel information retrieval team wiped out by the bounty hunter, Valance. Vader realizes that Valance is searching for the same thing: the boy who destroyed the Death Star. Now, The race is on to see who finds him first.

James Burns (Jedi News) joins us to discuss the various quotes from JJ Abrams, Daisy Ridley, Keri Russell, Anthony Daniels, Joonas Suotamo, Billy Dee Williams and Chris Terrio. NO SPOILERS as none of the press had seen the film at this point.
This episode is a great companion piece to this episode of Fangirls Going Rogue where Tricia Barr, Teresa Delgado and I discuss even more comments from the cast and crew.

Author Delilah S. Dawson joins us for a fun discussion about her new novel, Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge: Black Spire! We talk about how much she knew about Galaxy’s Edge while writing Black Spire, and her reactions when she met her creation, Vi Moradi, in the Parks. Want to hear about new and gruesome ways to torture in the Star Wars universe? You've come to the right place. Before this awesome discussion, we take a moment to curate some fun facts we learned about Galaxy’s Edge from Delilah's novel.
Skywalking Through Neverland is coming up on its 6th year anniversary! To celebrate, we’ve curated a list and some audio from our first 10 episodes, way back in 2013. Take a trip down memory lane…

Never Land on Alderaan!
Weird Al Yankovic joins us on this episode!!! We talk his Star Wars fandom, his latest tour - Strings Attached - and he answers questions we’ve had for decades. Ironically the only subject we didn’t cover was his tour with The Monkees! I guess we’ll have to have him on again. Big thanks to Shamim Dana, the STN Bounty Hunter, for making that happen and connecting us to the right people.
During Weird Al concerts, he brings up to 8 Stormtroopers and Darth Vader on stage for his encore. David Braun was one of those stormtroopers for several concerts, and shares his stories.
Disney+ is Moving In
More Disney+ news! What’s the first thing you’ll watch? We share our thoughts. Also, have you seen this brilliant Twitter thread in which all the official Twitter accounts "move in" to @disneyplus?

Never Land on Alderaan!
Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics #18 "The Empire Strikes!" is the beginning of a new story arc featuring our favorite heroes - Luke, Leia, Han, the droids and Chewbacca. Luke passes out, Han and Leia bicker, and C-3PO buffs up and becomes a superhero! We also see a new location that reminds us very much of LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures location - the Wheel! Only in Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics, The Wheel is a floating Casino in space, free of Imperial occupation.
Show Notes:
Title: "THE EMPIRE STRIKES!"
Release Date: September 26, 1978
Writer: Archie Goodwin
Artwork: Carmine Infantino and Gene Day
Lettering: Rick Parker
Cover Art: Carmine Infantino / Bob Wiacek
Synopsis: Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, 3Po and R2 are in the millenium falcon when Luke Skywalker suddenly passes out during a Jedi training exercise. They drop out of lightspeed to get him medical help, but run into Imperials, who chase the Falcon to a brand new location - The Wheel - a huge gambling center in space. The rebels scatter on The Wheel, the Empire is in pursuit, and that’s where this issue ends.

We share our experiences at SDCC 2019 and our thoughts on the big Hall H Marvel Studios Phase 4 Reveal Panel, the Her Universe Fashion Show, and some fun offsite experiences - you can have a blast at Comic-Con even without a badge!

Pop culture suffered a loss on July 24th when Rutger Hauer passed away at 75 years old. He was most notable as Roy Batty in 1982’s BLADE RUNNER with Harrison Ford. He was also in BATMAN BEGINS, Smallville, SIN CITY, THE HITCHER and NIGHTHAWKS with Billy Dee Williams!

Special guest Miki Herman joins us for an amazing discussion about working on the OT Star Wars films. She is one of very few females who worked in production for A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi... and the Star Wars Holiday Special! She also donned the C-3PO outfit for a short span of time, but long enough to find out she couldn’t, well, visit the refresher without a LOT of hassle!
Get to know Galaxy's Edge Cast Members! Did you know that each Cast Member in Batuu has their own backstory? To enhance the immersive feel, each local has created their own story as to why they are working at Black Spire Outpost, as well as how they feel about the Resistance and First Order occupation, and what they know about the legend of Luke Skywalker. We will hear some of these stories.
Galaxy's Edge Trip Report! Mike Sanders and his son Owen share their first visit to Galaxy’s Edge.

Dora Speck is visually impaired, but do you think that slows her down? Nope! Her blindness does not mean she’s disabled, she just does things in a different way. We talk about her Star Wars and Disney fandom, how she watches movies, what kinds of collectibles, how she navigates Disneyland and interacts with our fan community. It’s a fascinating and enlightening conversation.

Never Land on Alderaan!
ON THIS EPISODE: Composer Ryan Shore (Star Wars: Forces of Destiny, Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures, Julie’s Greenroom) shares his process working in the Star Wars universe, as well as composing with Julie Andrews! These stories are priceless.
This is the Culture POPCast where we have conversations, interviews and games revolving around pop culture from the vintage era to today. Today is the second in a series of episodes focusing on one-on-one interviews we were able to record at Wondercon 2019 with several creators working in the TV and film industry.
Ryan Shore was particularly happy to talk about Julie’s Greenroom, which is a Netflix Original series that is basically Julie Andrews with muppets! Ms. Julie teaches performing arts workshops to kid puppets of every shape and color, with the help of her assistant Gus at the Wellspring Center for the Performing Arts. The goal of the show is for all the “kid puppets” to put on their own musical performance by the end of the series. Ryan was able to work with Julie Andrews directly, and I asked him what he learned from this amazing woman.
Ryan has also been blessed to work in the Star Wars universe. He has a challenge composing bite-sized nuggets that go along with Lucasfilm’s YouTube series Star Wars: Forces of Destiny (2-3 minute episodes) and Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures (1 minute episodes). In the case of Galaxy of Adventures, the name is longer than an episode! Ryan talks about scoring for these shorter shows.

Join us for a tribute to Peter Mayhew, the man who gave life to Chewbacca with those big blue eyes. Though he passed away on April 30th 2019, Peter lives on in the memories and stories we all share on this episode. We also curated several messages from his Star Wars co-stars, and go over his body of work. Chewbacca was not his only film role!
https://twitter.com/TheWookieeRoars/status/1124077256240967681
Peter Mayhew was scheduled to appear at Fan Expo Dallas that weekend, May 3-5. Teresa Delgado was there and witnessed the touching tribute to him. Fan Expo Dallas turned his signing table into a memorial with books to sign and set it up for donations for the Peter Mayhew Foundation. His Q&A Panel turned into a Tribute panel.

Never Land on Alderaan!
Welcome to the newest addition to the Skywalking Network - the Culture POPCast! This NEW podcast will go beyond the scope of the Disney umbrella of Star Wars, Marvel and Disney itself. We’ll have conversations, interviews and games revolving around pop culture from the vintage era to today. We won’t have a regular schedule for now, we’ll just put them up whenever we have content.
On this episode: Go behind the score with the Emmy-winning Dynamic Music Partners! Michael McCuistion, Kristopher Carter and Lolita Ritmanis have 25 years experience composing scores for animated DC and Marvel TV series. They are best known for ‘Batman Beyond’, 'Marvel’s Avengers Assemble,' 'Justice League,' and 'Teen Titans.’
At WonderCon 2019, I had the opportunity to speak with Michael and Kristopher about their process and some of their new projects. I recommend listening to the entire interview here, as it contains musical examples as we talk about them.

This is it. Our AVENGERS: ENDGAME deep dive discussion with Steve Houston (Owner, Torpedo Comics / Advisor, Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide) Whereas Richard and I are very familiar with the MCU films, Steve knows every Marvel comic inside and out, and lends a great perspective to this talk. A proper discussion of this film requires revealing major plot points and spoilers, so you’ve been warned! DO NOT listen if you haven’t seen the movie!
Also on this episode:
- ENDGAME Homework! Which MCU films should you see to get more out of ENDGAME?
- NEW “Skywalkers Rise” TeePublic design. We were so inspired by the new title for Star Wars: Episode IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER and the implications of this title and trailer.
- Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Merchandise Videos - Have you seen all the cool merchandise you'll be able to buy in Galaxy's Edge at the Disney Parks?? Lightsabers, Holocrons, Build-Your-Own-Droids, Build-Your-Own-Lightsabers. All of these videos showcase the fantastic merchandise.

Never Land on Alderaan!
Since the Podcast Stage began at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2015, we’ve been a part of the fun. This year marks our third appearance on the Podcast Stage, so we call it our Interactive Fandom Adventure III! We invited Skywalkers to come up and discuss the Episode IX Trailer and name “The Rise of Skywalker” which had just released that morning. Din, lead singer of the band F-105, rocked the roof off the place with a new song, “Song For Celebration”. He was accompanied by Chris Macht. And we had our Blast Shields game and giveaways! Everyone who attended also received our SWCC button.
We can’t thank all of the Skywalker volunteers enough for their assistance with another great Interactive Fandom Adventure stage show. Brian Sims, Teresa Delgado Lutha, Matt Clifton, Daniel Berry, Joey Pittman, David Braun, Aaron Curto, Jess Walz, John Zancanaro, Gary Oransky, Tati Perez, Daniel Carlton, and Bryce Eller as the voice of Darth Vader.
Star Wars Celebration Chicago wouldn’t be complete without a Roundtable of Skywalkers! During the last day of the convention, several of us met up for our now-legendary Roundtable recaps. We talked about our favorite moments, dissected the trailers and title to Episode IX and more.
Skywalkers:
- Chris Alexander (author of Star Wars Origami)
- Matt Clifton - (Fandom Podcast Network) @FloridaFulcrum
- Gabriel Colbaugh (Saber Guild)
- Nitzan Harrell
- Daniel Berry (The ForceCast)
- Din (F-105 Lead Singer)
- Jason and Gabe of Blast Points
- Raynald Gobeil - @RayGob
- James Burns (Jedi News)
- Richard Woloski
- Sarah Woloski
The Rise of Skywalker - who knew a “the” and its placement could be so important? Who is excited for The Mandalorian? How about that Clone Wars Season 7 Trailer?? And finally - all our personal favorite moments that make this convention so special. These stories are a priceless account of our collective adventure through fandom.

Our conversation with actor/stunt double, Bobby Porter, is one for the pop culturists. Bobby shares stories of working on Revenge of the Jedi, Newsies and Battle for the Planet of the Apes! Bobby also worked as a stunt double for Eliot (E.T.), John Connor (Terminator 2), Young Bruce Wayne (Dark Knight Returns), Young Freddy Krueger (Nightmare on Elm Street 5) and so many more. Don’t miss the heart-warming story he tells about working with Robin Williams on Jumanji.
With so much Star Wars Resistance news, it’s time to catch up with the series! The Mid-Season Trailer got us really excited about the show again, and starwars.com just announced there will be a Season 2 in Fall of 2019.

On this episode we discuss “Secrets and Holograms” and “Station Theta Black.” The mid-season begins on the Disney Channel on Sunday 1/13, and so we’ll finish out this show talking about the new trailer.

"Signal from Sector Six"
Directed by Sergio Paez
Written by Brandon Auman
Guest Star: Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron
Kaz is unexpectedly sent to meet with Poe to check on his undercover progress when a distress signal sends them to a damaged starship. As representatives of the Resistance they board the abandoned ship to aid any survivors, only to find unfriendly lifeforms aboard - Kowakian Monkey Lizards! Poe and Kaz also find an unconscious Mirialan female and deliver her to safety on The Colossus, narrowly avoid being eaten by the biggest Kowakian Ape Lizard you’ve ever seen! All is not what it seems, however, as Synara, the alien they rescued, contacts her pirate partner, Kragan Gor who sets a new plan in motion...

Never Land on Alderaan!
All Wings Report In for this STAR WARS RESISTANCE FLYBY of "The Children From Tehar"! This week, we discuss S1 E06 as the story delves more into the Star Wars universe. We've introduced all of our main characters; Kaz, Tam, Yeager and Neeku; and their relationship to each other. Now it's time to connect Star Wars Resistance to the overall Star Wars Saga. This episode is the beginning of that connection. We get mentions of Kylo Ren! Captain Phasma makes another appearance. And a mysterious symbol from Tehar keeps popping up. We also meet the children from Tehar - Kel and Eila.
Richard calls out Creature Appearances. I talk about musical moments, including one having to do with this mysterious symbol. We also share our first thoughts, questions raised by the episode and our favorite moments.
"The Children From Tehar"
Directed by Saul Ruiz
Written by Paul Giacoppo
In need of credits to fix a broken compensator part, Kaz turns bounty hunter and intends to find two missing children to claim the necessary credits. Meanwhile, Captain Doza speaks to Captain Phasma and learns that the bounty for the children was set by The First Order. Phasma claims that they are only trying find the kids of a high-ranking family in the First Order, and sends the gold stormtrooper, Commander Pyre, to The Colossus to collect them.

All Wings Report In for this DOUBLE FEATURE of STAR WARS RESISTANCE FLYBY! This week, we discuss S1 E04 - “Fuel for the Fire” and S1 E05 "The High Tower". Now we are moving past introducing characters, and seeing some backstory. Hype Fazon has a bigger role! Voiced by Donald Faison, Richard and I couldn't help but delight in seeing his character come alive onscreen after meeting Donald at the Star Wars Resistance Roundtable. Richard calls out classic creature appearances and classic sound FX. I talk about musical moments. We also share our first thoughts, questions raised by each episode and our favorite moments.
"Fuel for the Fire"
Directed by Bosco Eng
Written by Eugene Son
Kaz meets a new group of friends lead by Jace Rucklin (voiced by Elijah Wood). Jace isn’t the true friend he makes himself out to be, however. He has an ulterior motive which includes stealing Yeager's hyperfuel.
"The High Tower"
Directed by Steward Lee
Written by Stephany Folsom
Kaz’s mission as a spy kicks in as he discovers that The First Order has come to the Colossus. Major Vonreg attempts to persuade Capt. Doza to utilize their help in eradicating pirates, ultimately putting the Colossus in the hands of the First Order, the plan that was set forth in the Triple Dark episode.

Welcome to the SPOOK-tastic Part 2 of our Halloween Extravaganza! Throughout the episode, our friends drop by to Trick or Treat: Creature performer Dee Tails, Jason and Gabe (Blast Points Podcast), Tom Spina (Regal Robot) and Jeff Baham (Mousetalgia). We also have quite a few international shout-outs from Martin Keeler (Fantha Tracks).
Dee Tails was in town this past month, and we took him on his very first Halloween experience! It was our first time to try out the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride here in Griffith Park as well. We document the experience and I think we all learned a little something about Dee’s scare threshold that night. Check out the story and pictures from the event.
Then we huddle around the Endor bonfire and read from the new book, “Are You Scared Darth Vader?” by Adam Rex. Who knew Richard could sound so Vader-like??

All Wings Report In to STAR WARS RESISTANCE FLYBY! This week, we discuss S1 E2ish - “The Triple Dark”. Richard calls out classic creature appearances and The Phantom Menace Easter eggs.

We also share our first thoughts, questions raised by the episode and favorite moments. Plus, Star Wars Resistance Hasbro figures were revealed at NYCC! Scroll down for pictures.
"The Triple Dark" Synopsis
Kaz and BB-8 uncover information on an imminent pirate attack and must find a way to stop it. This unfolds when the nemoidian, Halleon, brings his ship to Team Fireball for repairs.

IN the end, we find out that Halleon is conspiring with pirates to overtake the collosus for The First Order.

Suddenly, they are attacked by Sand People. While the others try to hold off the attack, Luke and Biggs rush off to warn nearby residents of of the danger in their area. Biggs is wounded and Luke has to take him in his skyhopper through the dangerous and impossible caverns of Diablo Cut to get him to safety. Having succeeded where other have failed, Luke knows he is meant for greatness!
Classic Marvel Star Wars Comic characters are starting to show up in various forms of Star Wars media! From Forces of Destiny to a new comic book “Star Wars Adventures Annual 2018” and even Solo: A Star Wars Story. If you know classic characters, you’ll see them pop up everywhere.

Jim Swearingen, concept designer at Kenner, is making his podcast debut! Jim worked on Star Wars toys at Kenner as the lead concept designer from 1976-1979. His career in toys took him on a journey through not only Star Wars, but Strawberry Shortcake and Play-Doh. He might even reveal the secret ingredient that makes Play-Doh work! Richard’s mother owes Jim a great debt of gratitude, since his Star Wars toys kept him quiet for hours on end when Richard was a kid.

The first full trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story just dropped, and we discuss why this might be the BEST STAR WARS FILM EVER! (one word - Malla!) Because we’re soundtrack fans over here, we compare the music of the trailer to other familiar soundtracks and themes.
Jocasta Drew (Drew Kaplan of StarWarsMaven.info) is back to go over fun and interesting nuggets from The Last Jedi Visual Dictionary and The Last Jedi Incredible Cross Sections Books from DK. Instead of fun facts, we’re calling them “Canto Fun Bytes”. Want to read more about these books? Check out The Last Jedi Incredible Cross-Sections review.

We bring you up close and personal to Mark Hamill and his Hollywood Walk of Fame Star Ceremony, which took place on March 8, 2018. We were able to get a great spot at the front of the barricades, and some face-time with Kelly Marie Tran, Billie Lourd, Kathleen Kennedy, Rian Johnson and the Hamill clan. Whoever said getting up super-early was a waste of time is totally wrong!
Din, lead singer of the band F-105, is to release their self-titled debut album and their 2nd single “Desert Planet”. Their songs are heavily inspired by Star Wars themes and destined to become earworms! We talk with Din about his Star Wars fandom, his inspiration and Mortis.
Then Mark Newbold from FanthaTracks tells us about his trip to the ice planet of Hoth, or as he calls it - Finse, Norway. Every year there is a gathering at the Finse hotel that includes visits to the actual Hoth shooting locations, as well as guests who worked on The Empire Strikes Back. Bucket List item!!!!!
Star Wars Rebels has come to a close. For the finale, we invite Sal Perales (Kanan in the #RogueRebels family of cosplayers) to discuss the series finale and the special screening held at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank. The evening concluded with an hour-long Q & A with Dave Filoni, Vanessa Marshall, Tiya Sircar, Steve Blum and Taylor Gray. We will discuss plot, characters and certain Q & A questions, so SPOILERS AHEAD!
During the final end credits of Star Wars Rebels the voice of Chopper was finally revealed. For 3 long years Eliza Peralta kept the truth under wraps per Dave Filoni who whispered the answer to her at SWCA. She is here (along with her father, Ric Peralta) to tell us what exactly Dave said which made her the SECRET KEEPER!
With all the excitement of Star Wars Rebels, we didn’t forget the special Teaser Trailer that dropped this week: MARY POPPINS RETURNS! A glimpse of Emily Blunt as Mary, Lin Manuel-Miranda’s new character, a famous kite...what did we think?? Is the magic still there for this sequel to the beloved Mary Poppins? We discuss.

Are you ready to travel back in time to the set of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and INDIANA JONES AND THE RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK? You’ve come to the right place - Mark Marshall began his film career on these hallowed sets and worked closely with George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Christopher Columbus. He also worked on HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER’S STONE with Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.
Mark is also promoting the Civil War documentary he directed, REMEMBER THE SULTANA, released digitally on March 1, 2018 on Amazon and iTunes. Everyone remembers the Titanic, no one remembers the Sultana, but it’s an important story. Like COCO, these heroes live on in our memory.

#BlowItOutYerRetros! Quite possibly our favorite line from our favorite green bunny, Jaxxon, in this Classic Marvel Star Wars comic!

Show Notes:
Title: "THE HUNTER"
Release Date: June 27, 1978
Writer: Archie Goodwin
Artwork: Walt Simonson, Bob Wiacek
Coloring: Bob Sharen
Cover Art: Walt Simonson
Synopsis: This issue begins a brand new arc as Valance, the Hunter, destroys the medical station on Telos-4. When he and his crew of mercenaries hear a patient talking about Han Solo, the boy, and the droids, Valance jumps to conclusions thinking this must be Luke Skywalker! Since there is a big reward for the capture of Luke and Han, Valance follows old favorites Jaxxon and Amaiza to Aduba-3. How hard will it be to take down a couple of second rate bounty hunters and a few farmers in order to apprehend his prey? Valance is in for a big surprise!

We did it, Skywalkers! 200 Episodes! Time to investigate the music of The Last Jedi. Moments we loved, moments of silence, and Kylo Ren’s new motifs. John Williams has created another masterpiece in his Symphony of Star Wars. And since the maestro and The Last Jedi soundtrack was nominated for an Oscar, we go over the Star Wars and Disney nods and snubs in the 2017 Academy Award nominations announced this past week.
We also have storytime around the campfire, where we will read to you, “Chewie and the Porgs”. What was Chewie doing in TLJ while Rey was training? How did he and the Porgs bond after he tried to eat one of them? Well, grab a cup of green or blue milk and join us.
It’s a Skywalker Celebration! Many of you recorded and wrote messages for the milestone 200th episode - so listen for them throughout the show!

This episode contains exclusive audio from Rian Johnson, plus a fantastic interview with Creature Performer Paul Warren (sometimes known as skinny Steve Rogers, the Quidditch playing Harry Potter and Varmik from Star Wars: The Force Awakens) But these days you can see him in Star Wars: The Last Jedi holding none-other than - Space Gary! He has so many stories from the sets of these films, so listen in to hear about behind-the-scenes movie magic.
Our exclusive audio of Rian Johnson comes from a screening of American Graffiti at LACMA (LA County Museum of Art) where they invite a director to choose a film that has influenced them. For this Director’s Series LACMA hosted a screening of the film, followed by a 45 minute discussion with Rian Johnson. He talked about the influence of George Lucas, films like American Graffiti and what led Rian to make the decisions he made while writing and directing The Last Jedi. It’s fascinating.
John Williams will be scoring Episode IX, plus the theme to Solo: A Star Wars Story!! Time to chat about the maestro and what this means for the Star Wars Universe.

Never Land on Alderaan!
Want to hear rare Star Wars Original Trilogy behind-the-scenes stories from people who were there at Lucasfilm? Over the past weekend we attended LOSCON 44 (LA’s longest-running sci-fi convention) and were able to record Craig Miller’s ‘Making Star Wars’ panel. Craig was the Lucasfilm Head of Fan Relations & Publicity, and he brought together Star Wars veterans Miki Herman (Assistant to George Lucas / Executive Producer), Chris Casady (Miniature effects unit), Doug Barnett (Miniature effects unit) and Mark Marshall (Production) to share their amazing stories. To see pictures and video from the entire LOSCON weekend, head over to Fantha Tracks.
That’s it for this week as we prepare for the crazy STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI media blitz coming fast and furious starting December 2nd. We will be attending several Press Events and bringing our trusty audio and video recorders with us, so we can share everything with you. Stay tuned, Skywalkers!

Never Land on Alderaan!
What better way to watch the first three episodes of Season 4’s Star Wars Rebels than at Lucasfilm??

Never Land on Alderaan!
Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics is back from our Summer Hiatus! In this episode Richard, Sarah and Star Wars artist, Randy Martinez cover issue #15 - Star Duel! - where there are no pants in space.
Title: "STAR DUEL"
Release Date: May 23, 1978
Writer: Archie Goodwin
Artwork: Carmine Infantino, Terry Austin
Coloring: Janice Cohen
Cover Art: Carmine Infantino, Terry Austin
Synopsis: Crimson Jack's battlecruiser is fully operational and waiting for Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon to exact his revenge. Now Han has to make a deal that will exchange Jack’s navigational charts which were secretly downloaded by Chewbacca, with parts on Jack’s cruiser that will enable a safe getaway for his crew which includes Luke, Leia, Chewie and the droids. How will this hand-off go down between two space pirates?
With so much Star Wars content coming out these days, did you ever think that maybe some designs and locations were inspired by these comics? Over the last 14 episodes Sarah and Randy laughed at Richard every time he brought this up. But now we are seeing evidence in LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures. And doesn't that new dreadnaught Star Destroyer from The Last Jedi look awfully familiar?
Before we move onto the story of Star Duel we had to talk about a recent Marvel Star Wars Comic panel at Terrificon. Comic artist, Howard Chaykin, brought up the impact of the Star Wars comics in the comic industry. Howard said that prior to STAR WARS, there were artists and creators, but after STAR WARS, it was all about BRANDING.
Who agrees with that statement from Howard Chaykin? Listen to our view points and tell us what you think. You can view the full panel below (moderated by author Ryder Wyndham; panelists: comic writer Roy Thomas, Charles Lippincott and Howard Chaykin.) Big thanks to The Dorkening for posting this on Youtube.

Our podcast is 4 years old! To celebrate, we bring you aboard the Disney Wonder to discuss our Halloween on the High Seas podcast cruise with a dozen Skywalkers! During the cruise, we sat down to discuss the high points with Randy Crane (Stories of the Magic), Chickaphant and Chickaphant’s parents, Michelle and Michael, Lance and Debbie Dobersek, Dave Skale, Peter & Norma Heitman and a special guest that may or may not have had some behind-the-scenes info to dish.
We asked YOU to share your thoughts and memories of Skywalking Through Neverland over the past 4 years, so your voices and well-wishes are sprinkled throughout the episode. The overall consensus? Family. We wouldn’t trade it for anything. Thank you.

We’re stepping back in time to talk PETE’S DRAGON (1977) with Anthony Fox (MousePire Podcast). Along the way we compare and contrast with 2016’s PETE’S DRAGON and marvel at what made it past the censors in the 1970’s. Several listeners wrote in with their comments and memories of the film.
Fun Fact: Jim Dale (who plays Dr. Terminus) reads all the Harry Potter U.S. versions of the audio books and he is incredible. Lends new credibility to the Dr. Terminus of PETE’S DRAGON.
If you’ve never seen it or haven’t watched in awhile, here’s a plot refresher:
Pete is a nine-year-old orphan who escaped from his brutal adoptive parents, and now wanders the New England coast with his only friend - a cartoon dragon named Elliott. They find a new home in Passamaquoddy, Maine, and live with Nora, a lighthouse keeper, and her father, Lampie. All is not well in this little fishing town when the shady Dr. Terminus shows up and wants to cut Elliott up and sell for medicinal purposes. And non-stop hilarity ensues!
STEP IN TIME: Remembering Disney's Matinee Movies is a spin-off show where we look back at the Disney live-action films of yesteryear. If you are already subscribed to Skywalking Through Neverland - do nothing! This show will appear in your feed. Have fun reminicing with us.

Mark Hamill gets an honorary street, Michael Kramer (The LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures composer) stops by to chat and we say a fond farewell to Imagineer Marty Sklar.
Skywalker and photographer Brian Sims brings us exclusive audio and his first-hand account of Mark Hamill receiving his honorary street name in San Diego on “Mark Hamill Day” - July 30, 2017. Brian was able to ask Mark Hamill a question face-to-face!
We are so excited to celebrate the release of Season 2 of LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures with a very special interview - Emmy-nominated composer Michael Kramer! Does Grabala have a leitmotif? What Easter eggs from John Williams’ original Star Wars scores will we hear in the TV show? Michael Kramer and Sarah try to sign major and minor chords - it’s just an entertaining interview.
Russ Flores (author Seen, Unseen Disneyland) is back! Though this time for a sad reason - he has come to commemorate the life of Imagineer Marty Sklar. Head of Imagineering, creator and contributor of all Disney theme parks around the world, this man is a legend. Luckily, Russ has met him several times and shares fond memories.

MINI-SERIES CONTINUED - We discuss Genndy Tartakovsky’s STAR WARS: CLONE WARS micro-series as part of our lead-up to FORCES OF DESTINY. We are joined by our book reviewer, Jocasta Drew (Drew Kaplan of StarWarsMaven.info) and Skywalker Nitzan Harel for a great discussion on Part 2 of this ground-breaking animated series. (Part 1 can be found here) Padme’s snow bunny outfit, Asajj Ventress’ death(??) and Mace Windu’s ability to wield the Force.
Father’s Day garnered two exciting experiences we want to recap!
- A visit to Walt’s Barn resulted in an interview with legendary Imagineer Bob Gurr (Autopia, Haunted Mansion, Matterhorn, the Monorail). Walt’s Barn is a historical building that’s free to visit on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month in Griffith Park. You can ride the train, rub elbows with Disney legends including our Fairy Podmother Margaret Kerry, and see where Walt Disney himself used to shave, live and work.
- We finally experienced Trials on Tatooine in IMAX VR at the IMAX VR Centre in Los Angeles. Yes! We got to hold virtual lightsabers and it was awesome!

Never Land on Alderaan!
CARS 3 rolled out on June 16th, 2017, so we called on the BIGGEST Cars fan we know - Teresa Delgado (Disney Vault Talk / Fangirls Going Rogue)!! She also happens to be a latina from Texas, eerily similar to Cristela Alonzo (voice of Cruz Ramirez). So we have thoughts and feelings about the messages of this film.
The Cars 3 coverage continues as we bring you amazing insight from the Cars 3 Press Conference Richard and Sarah attended in Anaheim last week. Teresa also joins us for this enlightening segment, in which Cristela Alonzo becomes a star and Kerry Washington sums up the film in a candid sentence. Who cries during a Press Conference? Teresa does!
Things We Want To Share:
Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle - Universal Studios Hollywood. Richard and Sarah attended a preview of this projection light show, and describe the experience. We also talk with the Senior Director of Entertainment Production, Stephen Siercks on the making of this experience. How much involvement did John Williams have? Find out!

Meanwhile The Dragon Lords have rescued Han and taken him to a secret underground cave. The leader of the Dragon Lords tells Han that Quarg's jammer is driving the sea serpents mad and slowly killing them. Han agrees to help if they agree to help him in return by salvaging the Millennium Falcon.
Governor Quarg has found Princess Leia hiding within the Millennium Falcon and sets to use her demise as an example to her friends. Luke reunites with Han and fills him in on his plan that will do away with Quarg and the sonic-jammer, and, will help save the sea dragons...

It’s a Superhero Extravaganza! From WONDER WOMAN (2017) to Summer of Heroes at DCA, we’re hooked on a feeling. The new ride, Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission: Breakout! just opened at Disney’s California Adventure, along with a whole slew of Avenger activities, food and shows. Naturally we had to check it out and report back. Anthony Fox (MousePire Podcast), Bekah Goodman (Bekah's Buttons) and Josh Taylor (Network 1901) joined in our discussion of all the new experiences. Here's a playlist of all the great things you can check out at Summer of Heroes, including a meet and greet with Groot!

We’ve waited over 20 years and now it’s finally here - a live-action Wonder Woman stand-alone film! Here is our controversial, in-depth, spoiler-filled Wonder Woman review.

One thing we can agree on: Gal Gadot (and her costume) is amazing. Also on this episode:

Celebrate 40 years of your fandom with Skywalking Through Neverland on the Podcast Stage! At this interactive stage show we had a slideshow presentation with pictures depicting different moments in Star Wars fandom, from 1977 to 2017. We asked for those present if they had any stories, and several came up to share.
Randy Martinez (Star Wars Artist) joined us for a mini-segment of Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics. He lent his artistic expertise to Comic Book Cover #14, as well as an ad that didn’t look quite right.
In Things We Want To Share, Dave Parfitt (Adventures By Daddy) joined us to showcase Give Kids The World, a charity you can still donate to right now, right here.
We finished off the show with a tribute to Carrie Fisher - all the kids came up on stage and sang “Celebrate the Love” - the Life Day song Princes Leia sings in the Star Wars Holiday Special.
All in all, this was a special event, we had over a hundred people join us for the Live Show. We had the 7:30pm Saturday time slot - the last show of the night, so we took a bit longer than one hour! I recommend you watch the show on YouTube above! Enjoy.

Welcome Star Wars book-readers! This is the episode for you. Today we are talking Thrawn by Timothy Zahn. Del Rey released this highly-coveted book on April 11th, and we hungrily listened to the audiobook. Let’s talk plot, structure and Easter eggs in this fun discussion. (59:15)
Jocasta Drew (Drew Kaplan of StarWarsMaven.info) helps us review the new Disney Lucasfilm Press middle grade novel, Guardians of the Whills by Greg Rucka. Learn more about Chirrut Imwe and Baze Malbus as we dive in. Is it really just for kids? We think not! Read Drew's review here. (20:24)

Never Land on Alderaan!
Star Wars Celebration Orlando may be over, but we’re still celebrating! Immediately after the convention, several Skywalkers met up to talk about their favorite moments, dissect the trailers and more.
Skywalkers:
- Tricia Barr - @fangirlcantina
- Matt Clifton - @FloridaFulcrum
- Ryan Stampfli - @thearrowbreaker
- Luann and David Manderville - @LuManderville & @dwmanderville
- Melissa Villy - @JediLibrarian42
- John Liang - @juanjohnjedi
- Patty Hammond - @PattyBones2
- BJ Priester - @RedPenofLex
- Sandra Choute - @geekchic9
We dissected STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI trailer, the STAR WARS REBELS Season 4 trailer, the tear-jerking Star Wars 40th Anniversary panel and our various Podcast Stage panels. Who had 2 chance encounters with Dave Filoni? Who got to talk with Timothy Zahn for a full 15 minutes? How many Skywalkers graced the pre-show stage at Star Wars Celebration? These stories are a priceless account of our collective adventure through fandom.
Enjoy and be sure to tweet your #skywalkerselfie!

On Saturday, April 15th of Star Wars Celebration Orlando, we were not only treated to an amazing Star Wars Rebels Season 4 panel, but also a Press Conference featuring Executive Producer Dave Filoni and his STAR WARS REBELS "family." This episode contains the entire audio from that press conference.
Talent Participating:
Dave Filoni - Executive Producer
Vanessa Marshall - voice of Hera
Steve Blum - voice of Zeb
Tiya Sircar - voice of Sabine
Taylor Gray - voice of Ezra Bridger
Fortunately we were all able to ask some fun questions and make Dave Filoni dance a jig. At around 12 minutes in Sarah asks her question about the white wolf we see in the STAR WARS REBELS Season 4 Trailer. The answer garners applause from the room. Click the player to listen!
Here are some highlights from the preceding STAR WARS REBELS panel at SWCO.

In this episode we look at 1978’s Star Wars #13: ’DAY OF THE DRAGON LORDS!’. Is this a “filler episode”? Why is Chewbacca about to kill Luke Skywalker?? Randy Martinez gives us an update on his Star Wars Celebration Orlando official Art Show exclusive art. Richard, Sarah and Star Wars artist Randy Martinez dive into this classic Marvel Star Wars comic.
Title: "DAY OF THE DRAGON LORDS!"
Release Date: April 11, 1978
Writer: Archie Goodwin
Consulting Editor: Jim Shooter
Penciller: Carmine Infantino, Terry Austin
Cover Art: John Byrne
Synopsis: Luke Skywalker has been forced to join Governor Quarg's group in their battle against the Dragon Lords. Meanwhile aboard Crimson Jack's space cruiser, Han Solo is trying to talk his way out of trouble when Jack realizes that they have been duped into coming to Drexel. But Quarg's jamming equipment on the planet's surface causes a disruption on the space cruiser, which is enough of a diversion to allow Solo, Chewbacca, and Princess Leia Organa to escape in the Millennium Falcon to the surface below. The Falcon splashes onto the water covered surface of Drexel, right in the middle of an epic battle between Quarg's men and the Dragon Lords with Luke Skywalker caught right in the middle.
Join us as we review the story and get an artistic analysis from Randy Martinez. Learn more about Comic Book Legend and artist John Byrne. We then go over our favorite panel, favorite line and most un-Star Wars moment from this issue. We asked for your opinions on the cover art and you came through with some great feedback.
Have fun with us and may the classic comics be with you...

Matt Busch and Lin Zy have both been chosen to be official Star Wars Celebration Art Show Artists! While it's always fun talking with another married couple, it's especially exciting to talk to them both about their SWCO Art Show pieces, both of which spoke to Richard and Sarah in different ways. Lin Zy has a beautiful Japanese-inspired Ahsoka piece.
Matt Busch did a celebration of collectibles that looks like he went into Richard's bedroom as a kid growing up, and put it all on a massive painting.
Sarah and Richard delve into the music of Star Wars Rebels where we will look and listen to cues from Legacy of Mandalore and Secret Cargo. This leads to some pretty heavy debate over tragic vs. heroic, Sabine's connection to the Force, and much more.

On March 25th, Star Wars Rebels season 3 aired its finale “Zero Hour”. We invited Spencer Brinkerhoff III (StudiosB3) to join in our discussion of the episode, plus season 3 highlights and what we hope to see in season 4. This comprehensive look includes the climactic battle between old rivals, the return of many familiar faces, the center of the Force in Bendu... and Thrawn. If you want to see a video of our conversation, head to Spencer's YouTube!
It’s been 3 months since the passing of Carrie Fisher and it still doesn’t seem real. Last Saturday, March 25, the family hosted a Public Memorial in honor of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles. LaVonne Dominguez, friend of the show and member of LiningUp.net, was able to go and pay tribute to our beloved icons. She tells us all about the event.

Lucasfilm screened "Twin Suns" and the Season 3 Finale of STAR WARS REBELS for a select few, including Skywalkers Donald Wicks (Rebel Legion) and Joey Pittman (Disney Universe Podcast). They join in a discussion of Twin Suns;, share their Lucasfilm experience and also share audio from the Q&A between Sam Witwer (Maul) and Dave Filoni (Overseer of Star Wars Everything). We will be sharing more of that Q&A next week, as some of it includes discussion on the Season Finale.
Also joining us is Tyler Westhause (Star Wars Podcast Alliance) to talk “Twin Suns” and his favorite Star Wars character: MAUL. I don’t know if fans have ever been more split on a Star Wars Rebels episode. Richard and Sarah certainly were. We read several comments from Skywalkers, too. This is a full-on debate!

Disney’s live-action BEAUTY AND THE BEAST arrives in theaters on March 17th, and we have a treat for you - interviews with the entire cast, director and composer direct from the March 5th Los Angeles Press Junket! Emma Watson is delightful as she eloquently speaks on the character of Belle. Luke Evans (Gaston) and Josh Gad (LeFou) absolutely steal the show with their wit and song. Then Director Bill Condon and Composer Alan Menken teach us about storytelling and song-writing as they describe how they adapted this 300-year old story for live-action.
There are four new songs in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST - we go through each to prime you for the movie. Le Fou as played by Josh Gad is the first overtly gay character in a Disney film, tune in to hear our thoughts on that. Emma Watson absolutely brings us to tears. Tune in to hear it all, including our thoughts on this film. If you'd rather read some of this, head over to my post on Adventures By Daddy.
On March 8th, we met Michael Giacchino!!!! Ben Acker and Ben Blacker put on a Book Launch “Join The Resistance” Variety Show at the Largo Theater in Los Angeles to celebrate the launch of the new middle grade Star Wars book: “Star Wars: Join The Resistance”. Skywalkers Brian Sims and James Floyd joined us and we had an amazing time. The Variety Show had various acts headlined by various celebrities, including Weird Al Yankovic, Doug Benson (Doug Loves Movies), Matt Gourley (Superego; I Was There Too), Ahmed Best (Jar Jar Binks), Busy Philipps (Freaks & Geeks), Rogue One composer Michael Giacchino. Michael Giacchino may also have given Sarah a birthday message, thanks to Richard Woloski being a fantastic husband!!

Tangled Before Ever After, the new Disney Channel Movie, premieres March 10th - on Sarah’s birthday! We prepare you for the movie and Tangled: The Series by bringing you to a Q&A with the series’ Supervising Director Chris Sonnenburg and Supervising Producer Ben Balistreri. We attended this screening and Q & A on Monday, March 6th and have some GREAT stories to share as well as Behind the Scenes insight into Tangled The Series. Make sure to @followpascal on Instagram! Look closely, you just might see us ;)
Dale Wentland (Network 1901) has a new podcast series, Discovering Star Wars. We find it fascinating that a 33-year-old has NOT seen Star Wars. Dale showed it to him in chronological order starting with Episode 1, and then recorded each podcast episode after each film. It’s fascinating to hear how perspectives change by removing nostalgia.

Never Land on Alderaan!
Imagine trekking to Tatooine - visiting those same sand dunes used for Jabba’s Sail Barge and Sarlacc Battle in Return Of The Jedi. Then hunkering down under the stars that evening to watch Return Of The Jedi surrounded by those same dunes. Would you say you’re in Star Wars heaven? Well, we thought so!
Last week we headed to the Imperial Sand Dunes in Buttercup Valley, CA for their now-annual “Discover the Desert Star Wars Event.” We recap the day with Jawa James (Starwars.com / ClubJade) and Margaret Mays. There’s also a great interview with the three organizers of the event: Kris Haugh (501st, Rebel Legion, Mando Mercs), Carla Teeters (Imperial Valley Film Commission / United Desert Gateway), Michelle Puckett (Bureau of Land Management). They tell us about what it takes to put this on and give us a sneak peek to what they have planned next year.
Jocasta Drew Kaplan (Star Wars Maven) and Sarah take on Catalyst to tell how the book enhances and rounds out characters and situations in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Never Land on Alderaan!
Mark Newbold (JediNews UK / Radio 1138 / starwars.com) and Jennifer Landa (YouTube / ForceCenter Podcast) join Richard and Sarah this week to give their expert opinions on how to get involved in the Star Wars Fan Community. We’ve been asked several times about this, so we asked on these great guests since they have such a rich, varied history between them.
It’s Harry Potter wands vs. Star Wars lightsabers!! Teresa Delgado (Fangirls Going Rogue / Star Wars Bookworms / Disney Vault Talk) helps us delve into the similarities and differences of wand-lore vs. lightsaber kyber crystals, the origin story of the Darksaber vs. the Elder Wand, and so much more. If, for some reason, you are not familiar with the Harry Potter-verse you may want to com back to this one since there will be spoilers.
Also on this episode:

Never Land on Alderaan!
"At last! Beyond The Movie! Beyond the Galaxy!” reads the cover of each issue of the Marvel Star Wars comics from 1977 and beyond. Richard, Sarah and Star Wars artist Randy Martinez dive into these classic Marvel Star Wars comics from the 1970’s and 1980’s.
In this episode we look at Star Wars #12: ’DOOMWORLD!’ Well, this comic MUST be good because the title is in all caps! There’s also a ROGUE ONE reference, and you will have to help us settle a big debate on just which Star Destroyer appears in this comic.
Title: "DOOMWORLD!"
Release Date: March 14, 1978
Writer: Archie Goodwin
Consulting Editor: Jim Shooter
Penciller: Carmine Infantino, Terry Austin
Synopsis: Luke Skywalker, C-3PO and R2-D2 are still stranded on the water world Drexel. However they are caught in the middle of a battle between the sea-dragons, one ridden by a Dragon Lord; and hydra craft piloted by Governor Quarg's scavengers. The combatants are battling for the prize of Luke's wrecked ship, as anything mechanical is a rare commodity on this ocean-covered planet. Luke and the droids are captured and brought back to their base where Luke tries to convince Quarg that the droids would be more useful to them intact instead of being stripped down for parts. Meanwhile, Han Solo is leading Crimson Jack and his gang of pirates to the Drexel system under the pretense that there is treasure to be found.
Join us as we review the story and get an artistic analysis from Randy Martinez. Learn more about the Penciler vs. Inker vs. Colorist. We then go over our favorite panel, favorite line and most un-Star Wars moment from this issue.
We asked for your opinions on the cover art and you came through with some great feedback. Have fun with us and may the classic comics be with you...

Never Land on Alderaan!
How many times have you watched a Star Wars films and thought, “I wonder where that prop or costume piece ended up?” The answer is most likely Gus Lopez’s amazing STAR WARS Collection. Each day, he posts a “Daily Grail” on Facebook, showing off one piece of his collection at a time. We were fascinated to learn the stories behind the original Death Star, Emperor Palpatine’s yellow contact lenses, costume notes and size measurements for the Hutt-slayer Leia costume and SO MUCH MORE. Photos of his entire collection here.
The Star Wars Half Marathon at Disneyland (1/13-1/15/17) was good for getting together with Skywalkers, but bad for our muscles! We recap the weekend with Russell Flores (author of Seen, Unseen Disneyland book series). The Rebel Challenge may have kicked our butts, but we had an awesome Skywalker meet-up to celebrate the weekend and Richard’s birthday.

He was the media producer and casting director for this attraction when it was first designed for Disneyland back in the 1980’s.

Never Land on Alderaan!
Happy New Year Skywalkers! We welcome 2017 by taking a step back and revisiting our high points and low points of 2016 fandom with a few podcast friends. What surprised us in 2016? What was a personal highlight? What was the most controversial moment in fandom? First up, Bryan Young (Full Of Sith / Big Shiny Robot) joins us and we get into a discussion on Star Wars podcasters playing nice.
Then Mark Daniel (Star Wars Celebration and Disney Parks stage host) brings some laughs and life to the show, discussing highs and lows at the Disney Parks and his own extraordinary experiences hosting Star Wars Celebration Europe and Disney Parks Blog Live Videos.
Tricia Barr (Fangirls Going Rogue / FANGirl Blog) must now be called a regular! She has been a staple at every one of our year-end retrospectives and this one is no exception. She brings a great fangirl perspective into the mix.
Then Tyler Westhause (Star Wars Podcast Alliance) rounds out our quartet with a millenial’s perspective on Star Wars fandom. He even tries really hard to talk sports on our show! Of course, Richard and Sarah give their opinions, too. It’s been an interesting year with a bittersweet ending. Onward to 2017!

To Us, She’s Royalty.
Please join us as we celebrate the life of the princess, the author, and the woman who paved the way for little girls everywhere to become their own heroes: Carrie Fisher. Tricia Barr (Fangirls Going Rogue / FANGirl Blog) joins us in one of the hardest things we’ve ever had to record. However, in talking through her life and sharing memories and clips, we found solace. We hope you do too.
Then, we get into an amazing discussion behind-the-scenes of ROGUE ONE with David Collins (Star Wars Oxygen / Star Wars Celebration Host / Additional voices on The Force Awakens & Rogue One). Whether he is hosting red carpet events, voicing imperials, co-hosting Star Wars Oxygen or adding to his own family, he always makes time to stop by. We put out the word to our Facebook group asking if our Skywalkers had questions for David, and they had so many that we decided to turn it over to them! Enjoy a lively chat recorded before December 27th.

In our Countdown to ROGUE ONE, we discuss the current State of Star Wars Podcasting with special guests Bobby Roberts (former host on Full Of Sith) and Tyler Westhause (Star Wars Podcast Alliance FB Group Creator/Admin, formerly of RebelForce Radio). Both have great insights to recent shake-ups in the podcasting world. What do you want to hear in a Star Wars podcast? Why is there always drama with groups of people? How has podcasting influenced you in a positive way? So many thought-provoking questions. It's always good to take a step back and look at this outlaw medium of podcasting, the “wild west” of media still in its infancy.
Ric Peralta (LiningUp.net) is back to give us more breaking details on the ROGUE ONE line at TCL Chinese Theater IMAX in Hollywood. Star Wars fans are flying in from all over the globe to see this film at the birthplace of Star Wars. Join us, contribute to charity, and be a part of the family.

Never Land on Alderaan!
"At last! Beyond The Movie! Beyond the Galaxy!” reads the cover of each issue of the Marvel Star Wars comics from 1977 and beyond. Richard, Sarah and Star Wars artist Randy Martinez dive into these classic Marvel Star Wars comics from the 1970’s and 1980’s.
In this episode we look at Star Wars #11: ’Star Search’ or, “the search for Luke Skywalker.” Sound familiar? The Force Awakens already happened in 1978!! Listen as we check out the similarities. This issue also features our favorite things: Crimson Jack, Han and Leia getting it on, a Star Wars Holiday Special crossover and...Peter Pan?
Wow. Let’s take a listen.
Title: "Star Search"
Release Date: February 7, 1978
Writer: Archie Goodwin
Consulting Editor: Roy Thomas
Penciller: Carmine Infantino
Synopsis: This issue picks up as Han and Chewie blast away from Aduba-3. Everything is smooth sailing until they run into an old friend, the man that rocks a unitard like no other - Crimson Jack. Jack and his band of space pirates apprehend Han and Chewie, however they aren’t the only ones Jack has captured. He has managed to also kidnap Princess Leia as she was out looking for Luke Skywalker and holds her for ransom. How will our heroes get out of this one?
Meanwhile Luke and the droids have crashed in an ocean on a planet in the Drexel system. And if that wasn’t bad enough, now he has to battle a sea beast if he wants to make it to the next issue.
Join us as we review the story and get an artistic analysis from Randy Martinez. We then go over our favorite panel, favorite line and most un-Star Wars moment from this issue. We asked for your opinions on the cover art and you came through with some great feedback.

Never Land on Alderaan!
Don Post. Does that name bring back memories for some of you? Let’s go Skywalking through October with the man that put Halloween on the map - Don Post Jr! Don’s father, nick-named the Godfather of Halloween, started up Don Post Studios and together he and his son built up the company. They eventually acquired the license to make full head Star Wars masks and helmets back in 1977 and the rest is Halloween history. We could not BE more excited to share this interview with you, and Don Post, Jr. himself was just as excited. The memories he has to share bring tears to your eyes.
Inspiration: The Music of Star Wars Rebels is quickly becoming our most popular segment. This week we look at Kevin Kiner’s “Combining the Holocrons” track from Star Wars Rebels S3 E2: “The Holocrons of Fate”. Maul’s theme, a Holocron theme (?!) and the Devil’s tone!!
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is just around the corner which means it’s almost time to get in line. But where? And When? Luckily Ric Peralta from LiningUp.net is here to give us some information!

Never Land on Alderaan!
Film music. It binds us, surrounds us and draws us all together as fans. So when composers get switched up on a film as high-profile as ROGUE ONE, we must discuss. On this episode we delve into the film music of both Alexandre Desplat and Michael Giacchino to determine which would make the better composer for ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY. We couldn’t do it alone, so Anthony Fox of MousePire joins us to offer some extra insight.
With STAR WARS REBELS, Season 3 premiering on September 24th, it’s time to look back at Kevin Kiner’s score for the incredible Season 2 finale, “Twilight of the Apprentice.” The chills, the thrills, the final 2 minutes - I NEED this soundtrack now! We also take you to the Season 2 Finale Q&A and play the relevant clips from Dave Filoni and Kevin Kiner talking about the music. If you want to hear more of that Q&A, head to Episode 115.

The delightful Margaret Kerry, Tinker Bell Animation Model for PETER PAN (1959) graces this podcast with her presence once again. Richard and Sarah sat down in person with the bubbly storyteller and Fairy Podmother as she imparted 80 years of wisdom and pixie dust on us. Margaret Kerry has written a book: “Tinker Bell Talks! Tales of a Pixie Dusted Life” so listen in as she tells us all about it. It will be coming out very soon, so stay tuned for the link.
This past weekend was topped off by the Disneyland Half Marathon AND John Williams at the Hollywood Bowl. Sarah recaps the Disney run, including costumes, Skywalkers she met, and a chance encounter with Star Wars Land. Then we bring back clips from John Williams imparting his wisdom and music at The Hollywood Bowl to share with all of our Skywalkers. We met several Skywalkers at the Bowl as well, including the LiningUp.net crew. Thanks for saying HI!
We hope you enjoy this pixie-dusted, music-filled episode!

"At last! Beyond The Movie! Beyond the Galaxy!” reads the cover of each issue of the Marvel Star Wars comics from 1977 and beyond. Richard, Sarah and Star Wars artist Randy Martinez dive into these classic Marvel Star Wars comics from the 1970’s and 1980’s.
In this episode we look at Star Wars #10: ’Behemoth From The World Below!’ A Behemoth ravages the town, characters die rather gruesomely, Jaxxon has a moment, and we get to see something miraculous happen before it really happens in The Empire Strikes Back. What could it be??
But first, Randy Martinez remembers Kenny Baker (R2-D2) with a great story about that time he spent an evening over at Kenny Baker's house. It's true. All of it.
Now let’s dive in to this issue!
Title: "Behemoth From The World Below"
Release Date: January 10, 1978
Writer: Roy Thomas and Howard Chaykin
Script Writer: Don Glut
Illustrator: Howard Chaykin
Synopsis: The giant reptilian Behemoth has been summoned! Serji-X Arrogantus, the leader of the Cloud-Riders, knows that he and his men have no chance against the beast, and he also realizes that the behemoth is being controlled by the village’s old shaman. The situation gets out of control causing the monster to run amok.
Meanwhile, Leia Organa searches the Drexel system for Luke Skywalker who hasn't been heard from since his last transmission was interrupted.
Join us as we review the story and get an artistic analysis from Randy Martinez. We then go over our favorite panel, favorite line and most un-Star Wars moment from this issue. We asked for your opinions on the cover art and you came through with some great feedback.
Have fun with us and may the classic comics be with you...

STAR WARS CELEBRATION FLASHBACK - In honor of Star Wars Celebration Europe starting July 15th, we flashback to the very first Star Wars convention held 29 years ago. It was officially titled, “Starlog Salutes Star Wars–A 10th Anniversary Tribute to George Lucas and the Galaxy Far, Far Away Which He Created!” or as we are now calling it, Celebration 0! Thinking ahead, an 18-year old Richard traveled to Los Angeles to get the audio from this first-ever George Lucas panel for something called Skywalking Through Neverland (remember this was 1987). Here now for the first time is the whole Q&A panel with a special live introduction by R2-D2, C-3PO and Darth Vader who shows an unexpected sense of humor. Hear the first announcement for the prequel trilogy, plans to work again with the Disney theme parks and future plans of a 7-part Howard the Duck franchise* (*joke due to jet-lag). So much fun to hear almost 3 decades later and see what story elements made it into the prequels and the films after the original trilogy!
It’s still a few years away but we’re getting information and concept art for Star Wars Land every few months! In this episode we analyze the new artwork that was just posted on Disney Parks Blog that gave a birds-eye view of the 14-acre expansion. What is it that we are looking at? Of course you noticed the Millennium Falcon, but did you notice the Lamda-class shuttle? Or what could be a Blockade Runner? Is that beast of burden animatronic or will or will it roam this new unseen planet? There’s plenty of opportunity for lots of gift shops and themed restaurants in this marketplace setting. So many places to separate you from your hard-earned cash.
Also on this episode:
- Contest winner revealed and a chance to win Chuck Wendig’s new book, Star Wars: Life Debt, the follow-up to Aftermath!
- Skywalker Shout-outs and Skywalker of the Week
We want to give a big Thank you to our family of Skywalkers who help us out on each show whether it’s listening, posting comments and suggestions on our FB group or just spreading and sharing the positivity about our adventure through fandom!

We’ll be able to dine together, do a port adventure together in one of the ports, and even do some fun hangouts like a live podcast recording and meet-up, a “Faith and the Magic Kingdom” chat by Randy, and more–all optional and all family friendly, of course! Participate in as many or as few of the group activities as you want to. And the more people we have in our group, the more options we’ll have to do cool things!

"At last! Beyond The Movie! Beyond the Galaxy!” reads the cover of each issue of the Marvel Star Wars comics from 1977 and beyond. Richard, Sarah and Star Wars artist Randy Martinez dive into these classic Marvel Star Wars comics from the 1970’s and 1980’s.
Title: "Showdown On a Wasteland World"
Release Date: December 13, 1977
Writer: Roy Thomas and Howard Chaykin
Consulting Editor: Archie Goodwin
Illustrator: Howard Chaykin and Tom Palmer
Synopsis: Han Solo, Chewbacca and the Star-Hoppers arrive at Ramiz’s village of Onacra, only to find it under attack by flying High-hounds. They repel the beasts, saving the life of a young girl named Merri to the great relief of her father Oncho, the village spokesman. But their relief is short-lived as Serji-X and his gang attack; the Star-Hoppers valiantly defend the village from the attack, but not without cost.
Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker informs Leia Organa that he has found a new location for the Rebel Alliance base in the Drexel system, but the transmission suddenly ends, and a worried Leia sets out to find Luke.
Join us as we review the story, get an artistic analysis from Randy Martinez then see what is the most un-Star Wars moment from this issue. We asked for your opinions on the cover art and you came through with some great feedback.
Have fun with us and may the classic comics be with you...

Today we talk with THE MUPPET MOVIE and The Monkees TV series director - Mr. James Frawley!

Treguna Mekoides Trecorum Satis Dee!
That can only mean one thing… it’s time for BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS! The spell has been cast and Teresa Delgado of Fangirls Going Rogue and Disney Vault Talk joins us to talk about this much-loved 1971 film. Sherman Brother’s music, animation meeting live-action and some glorious 1970’s revolutionary effects make this film an instant classic. Sarah and Teresa grew up with Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and Richard is now the newbie, just watching it for the very first time.
If you’ve never seen it or haven’t watched in awhile, here’s a plot refresher:
During the Battle of Britain in 1940, Miss Eglantine Price (played by future Mrs. Potts - Angela Lansbury), a cunning witch-in-training, wants to help the war efforts and use her supernatural powers to defeat the pending Nazi invasion.
Miss Price sets out to accomplish this task with the aid of three orphaned children who have been evacuated from the London Blitz. However they need the last spell from magician/steet performer/Witch school sheister Emelius Brown (played by David Tomlinson who is best known as Mr. Banks from Mary Poppins). Together, the crew uses an enchanted flying bed to find the missing spell and foil encroaching German troops.
STEP IN TIME: Remembering Disney's Matinee Movies is a spin-off show where we look back at the Disney live-action films of yesteryear. If you are already subscribed to Skywalking Through Neverland - do nothing! This show will appear in your feed. Have fun reminicing with us.

In true Disney fashion, Disney Channel PR and Lucasfilm put on a genuine Red Carpet bash at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, CA for the finale of Star Wars: Rebels, Season 2. In this episode, Richard and Sarah take you to the Red Carpet, inside the Main Theater with Q&A on "Twilight of the Apprentice" from cast and crew, and further to one-on-one interviews with Dave Filoni, Ashley Eckstein, Vanessa Marshall and Kevin Kiner.
*SPOILER ALERT* If you have NOT seen this finale - turn back now! Not only was the Q&A held after we all saw “Twilight of the Apprentice” together, but we also give our thoughts on spoiler-heavy moments. The Q&A was moderated by Amy Ratcliffe, and we heard from writer and creator Dave Filoni, creator Simon Kinberg, Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka Tano) and Taylor Gray (Ezra Bridger). Since we bring our recorder everywhere, we had a short roundtable with fans right after the screening.
FURTHER EXPLORATION: Check out Adventures By Daddy for a complete rundown of the Red Carpet, including pictures and our Periscope. Then head over to FanGIRL Blog to watch the complete Q&A in its entirety and read some of my thoughts on “Twilight of the Apprentice”.
COMING UP: In the coming weeks we will cover the music of “Twilight of the Republic”, so email us your thoughts on any aspect of the episode to share@skywalkingthroughneverland.com.

In this episode we are diving into Classic Marvel Star Wars Comic #8: "Eight For Aduba” or Magnificent 7 in space. You may recognize this comic as the introduction to several iconic characters, including Jaxxon and Serji-X.
We have our usual top trio to discuss the issue. Star Wars artist Randy Martinez lends his artistic and nostalgic wisdom to the discussion. Richard also remembers reading these comics as a kid, but Sarah is younger than the comics themselves, and is the voice of the newbie. All three create a fun dynamic as we discuss word such as “FORP!” “SCHINK!” and “Begone, Defilers of the Sacred Way!"
Title: "Eight For Aduba"
Release Date: November 8, 1977

Han and Chewbacca hire six misfit spacers to help them with the task, including a rogue Jedi, a bikini clad gunslinger, and a green bunny with a mean disposition.

What do Tangled and Trials of the Temple have in common? Turns out Kylo Ren and Rapunzel are best friends!
That’s not true. All of it.
But it IS true that the Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Magic has a NEW Tangled: The Musical show! Chickaphant’s parents tell us all about it. New music composed by Alan Menken! Ruffians! Thugs! And a light-up Pascal with Snuggly Duckling mug? Sign me up!
March 10th was Sarah’s birthday! She made it an excuse to do a Disney day and FINALLY complete a Disneyland Easter Egg Hunt 3 years in the making. Richard and Sarah were able to ride the NEW Luigi’s Rollicking Roadsters and we also saw a NEW chilling addition to Jedi Training: Trials Of The Temple. Now where does this fit in the new Star Wars Canon? At dinner we got into a heavy debate with friends and Skywalkers Anthony Fox, Rebecca Goodman, Georgia Peach & Jeff Peterson. If you want to weigh in, please tweet at us @SkywalkingPod!
Also on this episode:
- Things We Want To Share - Sarah’s Zootopia Disney Infinity Figure Review. Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps have hopped right into our hearts.

STEP IN TIME: Remembering Disney’s Matinee Movies is back and this time we are celebrating the 40th anniversary of the 1975 classic film - Walt Disney’s THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG! J
oining us on this journey to the old west are special guests Steve Glosson and Teresa Delgado of Disney Vault Talk. They bring their brand of fun and fond memories to the conversation while Richard reminisces about his first childhood crush, Celia (Stacy Manning), and Sarah watches the film for the first time in her life.
For anyone else who has not seen this film yet or hasn’t seen it in a while, here is a refresher on THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG. Bill Bixby (The Incredible Hulk) plays Russell Donovan, a slick gambler duped into taking care of a trio of mischievous orphans named Bobby, Cloves and Celia. Meanwhile, outlaw wanna-be’s Tim Conway (The Carol Burnett Show) and Don Knotts (Andy Griffith Show, The Incredible Mr. Limpet) are out to rob anyone they think has anything worth stealing. Set in the Old West during The California Gold Rush, it’s a fun ride.
The children miraculously strike it rich, but that’s when bad guys come out of the woodwork to steal the gold. It’s up to The Apple Dumpling Gang to keep it, and their home with Russell Donovan, safe and sound. Hilarity ensues, and so does our conversation. Exactly how does a show roll from The Apple Dumpling Gang into the 80’s sex-romp comedy, Porkey’s?
STEP IN TIME: Remembering Disney's Matinee Movies is a monthly spin-off show where we look back at the Disney live-action films of yesteryear. If you are already subscribed to Skywalking Through Neverland - do nothing! This show will appear in your feed.

With the imminent release of Disney’s ZOOTOPIA on March 4th, it's the perfect time to bring you Behind-The-Scenes stories from the Press Day Sarah attended at Walt Disney Animation Studios. We had press roundtables with the Directors, Writers, Production Designers and Character Designers/Animators of ZOOTOPIA. She’ll go into some amazing stories, fun facts and we’ll hear audio from the filmmakers themselves.
Sarah was able to see ZOOTOPIA at a special #DisneyInfinityNEXT early screening, so she will give her Spoiler-Free review. She also got to meet Allison Petreck of Disney Infinity Toy Box TV. And then let’s get into NEW Disney Infinity characters, Marvel Battlegrounds Playset and more!
Richard takes on the farce that was the Oscars. No awards for The Force Awakens?? What is this world coming to? Host Chris Rock had to tap-dance around #OscarsSoWhite and he really did a quick step. As always we have enlightening clips from The Oscars as well as media surrounding the event.
We also have shout outs, and the Skywalker of the Week!

Have you gone back to watch the 6 films of the Star Wars Saga after seeing The Force Awakens? What did you think? What did you feel? With all the new movies, comics, novels and TV shows that fill in gaps or show a different POV, it can change the way we look at the films. Richard and Sarah explore those changes with special guests Bryan Young (Full of Sith, Starwars.com) and Chris Salton (Brews and Blasters, The Collector's Hutt). You’ll never watch Han and Leia’s love scene the same way again! (30:37)
Next up, Impressions: The Music of Star Wars Rebels, where we analyze Kevin Kiner's score. On this episode we analyze "Legends of the Lasat" with our special guest, Tricia Barr (Fangirls Going Rogue, FANgirl Blog). This was the episode where our Ghost crew encountered an anomaly on the edge of known space, and had to use Zeb’s leadership to get through. The music was so unusual and engaging, with those bare strings, we HAD to talk about it. (1:37:15)

That’s right, before we take you with us to Disneyland, we spoke with Bryce and Carly Yelverton about their amazing experience on Skellig Michael, which is where Luke Skywalker appears at the end of STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS. The island is far off the coast of Ireland, and the journey there is half the fun. (9:00)

"At last! Beyond The Movie! Beyond the Galaxy!" as it says on the cover of each issue of the Marvel Star Wars comics from 1978. We are taking our Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics segment and spinning it off into its own show!
If you are a new listener to the Skywalking Through Neverland growing podcast Empire, what we do is take you through each issue of the vintage series from the 70s and 80s! Star Wars Artist Randy Martinez will be joining us for every episode, lending his artistic and nostalgic wisdom to the discussion. Richard also remembers reading these comics as a kid, but Sarah is younger than the comics themselves, and is the voice of the newbie. All three create a fun dynamic as we discuss word such as “FORP!” “GRONK!” and “Begone, Defilers of the Sacred Way!"
In this episode we are diving into Star Wars #7: New Planets, New Perils!
Date: October 11, 1977
Writer / Editor: Roy Thomas
Illustrator: Howard Chaykin
Synopsis: In this issue, After bidding farewell to their Rebel friends, Han Solo and Chewbacca set out to return to Tatooine to pay off their debt to Jabba the Hutt. En route there, they are hijacked by space pirates and someone who can really rock a unitard, Crimson Jack and his gang of thugs. The pirates take the reward money given to Han and Chewbacca by the Rebel Alliance for rescuing Princess Leia Organa. Forced to lay low because they can't pay Jabba, the two seek refuge on the planet Aduba-3.

We have the complete pleasure of bringing you a wonderful conversation with STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS actors and power couple Gloria and Vincent Garcia. They were on set for a full month as they shot the exciting opening scene of the film. Gloria Garcia was lucky enough to play the first female you see, looking fiercely protective of her village as Poe runs behind her to his X-Wing. Their energy matched our own and it’s a conversation not to be missed. (20:17)
Go Behind-The-Scenes with Ford Riley, the executive producer on the NEW Disney Junior series based on The Lion King - THE LION GUARD. He joins us to talk about the conception of the show, the story and how it was based on his children. We’ve seen a few preview episodes and WOW! The animation, story and characters are all great. Sarah is especially in love with the cheetah, Fuli, and it’s a fun conversation. THE LION GUARD premieres on The Disney Channel on January 15th - make sure to check it out. (1:22:08)

We take all of our Skywalkers with us to the STAR WARS: The FORCE AWAKENS World Premiere, Red Carpet & After-Party in Hollywood, CA!! It was an absolute once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we share EVERYTHING with you. We talked with J.J. Abrams right after seeing this next chapter in the Star Wars saga!!! We also bring you clips from the line, like the moment we found out we would actually see THE FORCE AWAKENS at the world premiere on 12/14! (19:00) (SPOILER-FREE)
During our 13-hour wait, we talked to fans with amazing personal stories such as the cosplayers who co-starred in the Omaze video where Mark Hamill dressed as a First Order Stormtrooper and walked Hollywood Blvd. looking for charity donors!
Thanks to LiningUp.net, we were also able to see THE FORCE AWAKENS on 12/17 at the world-famous TCL Chinese Theater IMAX Lazer 3D (yes, it’s a mouthful!). Afterwards we were treated to another after-party thrown by the theater. We engaged in so many hard-hitting discussions that we knew this would make the best round-table recap with several Skywalkers. (1:08:20) (WARNING: This section contains SPOILERS)
You may have seen clips on the national news of the very first wedding held that day in the TCL Chinese Theater IMAX forecourt with all the feet and hand-prints of celebrities (including R2-D2, C-3PO, Darth Vader, George Lucas and Harrison Ford). We speak with the Groom, Andrew Porters, and the Officiant, Obi-Shawn Crosby and get their take on the event.
We’ve packed SO MUCH into this episode! If you’d like to see pictures and a great Blog Post I’ve written of the World Premiere, head to AdventuresByDaddy.com. Please consider donating to the Starlight Children’s Foundation. Text JEDI or SITH to 80000 now to donate $5.

Hey Hey Skywalkers! To tide you over until our THE FORCE AWAKENS PREMIERE coverage, here is another CLASSIC MARVEL STAR WARS COMICS segment with Star Wars Artist Randy Martinez!
This was supposed to be included in Episode 103, but it would have been over 3 hours! So while you wait for THE FORCE AWAKENS with overwhelming anticipation, listen as we dissect 1977 Marvel Star Wars Comics Issue #6: "The Final Chapter?"
For future reference would you like to see this as another spin-off show or do you like it within the Skywalking Through Neverland episodes? Tell us @SkywalkingPod or share@skywalkingthroughneverland.com.
This episode is brought to you from The Force Awakens Line in Hollywood, in conjunction with LiningUp.net. It is basically a 12-day Star Wars party with the goal of raising money for the Starlight Children’s Foundation. Text JEDI or SITH to 80000 now to donate $5.
Since we recorded this in the TCL Chinese Theater’s forecourt, you may hear some fun Star Wars fans popping in…oh, and sirens. Always sirens...
But back to The Force Awakens Press Event. What a mind-blowing experience! On December 6th, Walt Disney Studios put on a “Global Press Event” promoting The Force Awakens. Just about every big name associated with the film was in attendance, and we bring you with us as our personal guests. Not only do we play our favorite clips from the Press Conference, but we also interviewed the Maker of Light Side and Dark Side ice cream! Eric Gellar helps us recap some of the more fun aspects of the entire afternoon, and BB-8 says hello.
We also have an exciting announcement regarding a future home of Skywalking Through Neverland, so tune in! And remember, NeverLand On Alderaan!

FULL UNCUT AUDIO from STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Global Press Conference which took place in Los Angeles on December 6th, 2015. Every big name involved in the movie, except Mark Hamill (huh...), was in attendance. Listen in for some GREAT interviews with our first 45-minute panel consisting of J.J. Abrams, Carrie Fisher, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Lupita Nyongo and Lawrence Kasdan.
The second panel started 10 minutes later and consisted of (fangirlflail!) Harrison Ford, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Gwendoline Christie and Kathleen Kennedy. Mindy Kaling was a great moderator and asked, thankfully, different questions than we've been hearing all week.
We were seated in the front row, got GREAT pics and audio, and could hardly contain our excitement. Tricia Barr was sitting right next to Sarah and Richard, so you may be able to hear all of our reactions and fangirlflails from time to time.
BIG THANKS to Adventures By Daddy and Jedi News UK for allowing us to be their eyes and ears at this amazing event!

Season Of The Force opens at Disneyland!! We were there on opening day, November 16th, 2015, with lots of friends and Skywalkers, so of course we had an impromptu roundtable discussion with Teresa Delgado (Fangirls Going Rogue), Dave Skale (Ghost Host), Anthony Fox (MousePire podcast), Georgia Peach and more!

Let’s get together and Step In Time with The Parent Trap and our special Co-Host, Margaret Kerry! The animator’s reference model for Tinker Bell flew in to sprinkle some pixie dust on our conversation. She has met and worked with a few members of the cast, so Margaret Kerry’s insight is especially intriguing!
It’s 1961, and Hayley Mills is the newest Disney darling. She’s perfect for the role of teenage twins, Sharon and Susie, who are reunited at summer camp after never knowing the other one even existed. After discovering their family connection, they seek out a way to get their divorced parents (played by Maureen O’Hara and Brian Keith) back together. Non-stop hilarity ensues!
STEP IN TIME: Remembering Disney's Matinee Movies is a NEW monthly spin-off show where we look back at the Disney live-action films of yesteryear. If you are already subscribed to Skywalking Through Neverland - do nothing! This show will appear in your feed.

It’s here! Disney Infinity 3.0 officially launched, and the CUTEST Star Wars figures are hitting retailer shelves. Sarah, especially, has been obsessing for months, and now she can FINALLY talk about it on the show. So listen, maybe learn some things, and see how Star Wars has been integrated into one of the most entertaining games in the industry right now. Ahsoka riding a taun-taun while carrying a baby bantha? You’ve come to the right place.(14:16)

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls - our D23 Expo 2015 Recap!! SUPERSIZE, Part 1. You’ve been waiting patiently…and it’s here! Just like Star Wars Celebration, we gathered together a group of Skywalkers on Sunday, right after the close of the Expo for an immediate debriefing of the weekend. Randy Crane from Stories Of The Magic podcast, Josh Kelley and Lauren Correia happily joined in. Kevin Liell of Norse Legion had some amazing stories to share about his GREEN ROOM experience hobnobbing with George Lucas, Johnny Depp and Dick Van Dyke!
We also have another popular Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics segment with Star Wars Artist Randy Martinez, and perhaps Comedian and Star Wars Artist Denise Vasquez will share her opinion on the (interesting? disturbing?) Star Wars Pin-Up Special by Howard Chaykin seen at the back of 1977’s Issue #3. Check it out: 
We still have sooooo many more interviews to share with you from D23 Expo, so stay tuned for our D23 Recap, Part 2. We interviewed Disney Imagineers, Kevin Kiner, Ashley Eckstein, and Randy Thornton (Disney Music Historian!).

Roads. Where we’re going, we don’t need roads...
We need lightsabers!!
In Episode 88 (which totally has me thinking Back To The Future, if you can’t tell from listening to the first 20 seconds) we talk with Matt Cox - the first and only adult to participate in the Jedi Training Academy at Disneyland. He may be visually impaired, but that didn’t stop Matt from infiltrating the Jedi Training Academy at the 2015 Friends Of The Magic Meet-Up! (Matt hosts the podcast, Brunch With The Brits) Matt also proposed to his girlfriend Maria at Disneyland, and both stories have us reaching for our tissues. (15:44)
We also have another Classic Marvel Star Wars Comic segment with Star Wars artist Randy Martinez , this time we look at issue #2 of the film adaptation from April 1978. No hoojibs yet, but we LOVE discussing the comics from 3 points of view: the nostalgic, the artistic and the newbie. (53:03)

beep! beep! It’s Herbie, THE LOVE BUG!
Let’s step back in time to 1968 and reminisce about the little car that could. Richard and Sarah of Skywalking Through Neverland are joined again by our special guest host - voice of Grand Moff Tarkin, Sleepy in Disney’s 7D, and Lord Henry Mystic himself - Stephen Stanton! (The Grand Moff might even make a cameo in this episode…)

A lawyer, Amy Schumer and an @icecoldpenguin walk into a bar…
Sounds like the setup to a hilarious punchline, right? Well, find out what happens when you listen this week! We roll up our sleeves and get into the great Amy Schumer / GQ / Star Wars debate. For such a topic with so many points of view, we couldn't do it alone! Our friend Teresa Delgado of Fangirls Going Rogue joined us to tell us her story of her tweet seen ‘round the world and STN consultant Dave Skale helps us see both sides of the issue. (19:22)
But with so many legal questions swirling around the fandomverse , we took the conversation one step further and called copyright attorney, Andrew Skale from Mintz Levin to help us figure out what defense GQ and Amy Schumer would have if Disney unleashed their legion of lawyers! (1:05:31)
How does ANT-MAN stack up to the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? We review the film spoiler-free with Kevin RaiderNerd, owner of Spartan Phoenix Movie Blog where you can find reviews on a wide variety of films. (1:24:34)

Star Wars dominates San Diego Comic-Con 2015! From Behind-The-Scenes footage to Harrison Ford positively GUSHING about THE FORCE AWAKENS to a Star Wars Concert for the fans, JJ and KK could do no wrong. Skywalkers Kai Charles and Margaret Mays attended and had LOTS to report, including what it was like to actually be IN that panel. We touch on the HerUniverse Fashion Show, the Disney Infinity 3.0 Pop-Up Shop and what it was like to see grown men fighting to get a toy that will be readily available in a little over a month. (14:13)

Saturday, April 18th of Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2015 was Star Wars Rebels day! Star Wars Celebration hosted a public panel on the Celebration Stage titled “New Allies and New Villians" featuring the trailer to Star Wars Rebels Season 2. We were blown away with the addition of Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex to the cast. Shortly after this morning panel, the media gathered for an hour-long Press Conference where we all were able to ask questions of the producers, directors and cast of Star Wars Rebels. Participants include: Dave Filoni (Executive Producer, Supervising Director), Simon Kinberg (Executive Producer), Freddie Prinze, Jr. (Kanan), Vanessa Marshall (Hera), Tiya Sircar (Sabine), Steve Blum (Zeb) and Taylor Gray (Ezra).
We have the press conference for you in it’s entirety. It’s fun to note that there were only 2 mics and everyone was fighting for them. Of course, Richard grabbed the mic - listen for his question around 48 minutes. And our own Fangils Going Rogue friend Tricia Barr got the final question at around 59 minutes.
Be sure to check out Episode 74 of Skywalking Through Neverland for SWRebels Red Carpet interviews, fan reactions and our reactions; and a special bonus episode of Fangirls Going Rogue coming out this Friday, April 24th, for more Red Carpet interviews and Teresa’s interview with Freddie Prinze Jr.

We also talk about meeting several of the Ape TV/movie actors and authors of the Planet Of The Apes: Evolution Of The Legend. Find out from Ron Harper himself if it's really pronounced Urko or Orko.

Happy Holidays Ape Fans!
Welcome to the holiday episode of Talking Apes TV! We are the podcast that takes an in-depth look at each episode of the Planet Of The Apes TV series from 1974 to find out why it still stands up after 40 years. This was also the year that kids were asking Santa for the newest toys and games like Twister, Connect 4, and, GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip.
Join Richard and Mark as they say their goodbye to TV's Dr. Zaius, Booth Colman, in our opinion the best of the Zaius'.
In this episode, "The Surgeon", which aired 10/25/1974, Alan is shot by a gorilla patrol. Galen and Pete take him to a medical center where we meet Dr. Kyra (Played by Jacqueline Scott who portrayed Zantes in the "Good Seeds"), someone special from Galen's past.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all our Skywalkers!
This week Richard and Sarah sit by the fire to record their Christmas Eve episode. Skywalkers join in as we look back at the memories and traditions of Christmas past. Some sing in choirs, some watch The Monkees holiday episode and some tick their mom off to the point where she throws the Christmas tree out the front door!
We talk with Super-Skywalker Donald Wicks in Point 5 Past Lightspeed. We see where Donald lands on the Fanboy-O-Meter when we survey him about his fanboy way of life.
Dave Skale finishes his Holiday Ghost Host series as he takes us on the last leg of the Haunted Mansion Holiday ride at Disneyland.
C-3PO reads more last-minute letters to Santa Claus. We hope Santa has enough time to grant these last wishes! Whatever you celebrate (and yes we do consider Life Day and Festivus real holidays), we here at Skywalking Through Neverland wish you happiness and goodwill.
And for good measure, just stay away from Alderaan!

Steve Sansweet, everyone's favorite Star Wars Collector, is back! While Skywalking through the Holidays he tells us all about his new Rancho Recruiter program for Rancho Obi-Wan. This harkens back to a campaign that the Official Star Wars Fan Club ran back in 1980. Remember that?
We also talk with the fantastic C-3PO cosplayer Simon Wilkie who does so much work for the Make-A-Wish UK Foundation as everyone's favorite protocol droid. Today Simon is releasing his short film 'R2's Wish' which he'll tell us all about. His life has been a whirlwind this past year and WOW!

Hey Hey Ape fans! In this episode of Talking Apes TV, we look at "Tomorrow's Tide". Remember this one? When Pete and Alan are captured in a fishing village that employs human slave labor, they must prove their worth as fishermen or be sacrificed to the gods of the sea - the sharks.
Every other week we are finding random connections between Star Wars and Planet Of The Apes. In our new segment, The Star Wars Connection, we tell you what we found this week. Thanks to Rob Dehlinger for writing a great segment theme. (Any guesses as to what the music was influenced by?)
We also reveal a new winner of the Planet Of The Apes TV Series DVD Box Set. Is it you?
Unfortunately we don't see General Urko in this episode so we don't know if his helmet is on or off his head.

To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Caravan Of Courage: An Ewok Adventure, we have a special guest, Mace Towani himself - Eric Walker! We talk with Eric about the behind the scenes stories of Ewok Adventure; the sequel, Ewoks: The Battle For Endor; his new book that journals the making of Ewok Adventure, and, we talk a lot about his transition into music. Eric is a composer and song writer, who has a new CD coming out in December called 'Universal Delight', he also has an independent record label which is always looking for tomorrow's talent.
Learn about Eric Walker the actor, musician, composer and stick-thief (listen and find out) in this fun-filled episode of Skywalking Through Neverland!
The Ewok films were released as a double DVD set in 2004 but apparently some one goofed and forgot to include the mandatory extras, commentary tracks or bloopers (you just know there is footage of Ewoks stumbling and rolling down hills). Eric and Warwick "Wicket" Davis filmed an entire documentary while working on Caravan Of Courage, so we invite you to view this special preview of footage they took. Then stay tuned for a Campaign to bring this Documentary and extras to a Blu-ray release of The Ewok Adventure movies. Here is an exclusive peak at these extras, edited by Eric Walker himself:
http://youtu.be/KMLlKmrhfLM
Next week we will be Skywalking to Wisconsin and will not be able to bring you an episode, but we will be back the following week with a whole slate of Holiday-themed episodes in December.
Happy Thanksgiving, and, enjoy the 88-second trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens!

While trying to get themselves out of a centuries-old subway station, Urko sees a poster for the San Francisco zoo.

Hey Hey Ape fans! Thanks for listening to our first episode of Talking Apes TV last week. We are very happy to report that we are now part of the Shotglass Digital network. Talking Apes TV is the podcast that explores the Planet Of The Apes TV series and why they still stand up after 40 years.
This week we look at the second episode of the Apes TV series titled 'The Gladiators', which aired back on Friday September 20, 1974. Just to be forewarned, this is not a review show, but we do break down these Apes episodes so there may be some spoilers. But then again you've had 40 years and a few weeks now to see these. However if there is a big twist we will try hard to work around that so you can experience it yourself and get that WOW factor.
Look for a great conversation on this episode as well as a future BeastMaster.
STAR WARS REBELS has arrived! Sarah attended the L.A. Screening and Red Carpet, where Star Wars celebrities roamed free. Dave Filoni! Kevin Kiner! Steve Blum! Joel Aron! She managed to wrangle a few interviews. Then Richard and I review STAR WARS REBELS: SPARK OF REBELLION. Be sure to view our companion Blog post too on AdventuresByDaddy.com!
We weren't able to attend the Rancho Obi-Wan's fundraiser gala but Skywalker Donald Wicks went in our place. He gives his fun recap, as well as a few sound bytes he recorded on site.
Next, we interview our podcast composer, Rob Dehlinger! See behind the musical notes…
Tracey and Scott Morris from Disney Indiana Podcast are back to talk about the Roger Rabbit short films and the rather risqué things they got away with in the early 90’s.
Have you ever been to a Back To The Future Quote-Along? At the Alamo Drafthouse? Well, we had a swell time with Bald Solo in Austin, TX watching the classic film.
As always, much, much more. Never Land On Alderaan!!

Welcome to the first episode of our new spin-off miniseries "Talking Apes TV" - where we take a look at the unsung Planet Of The Apes TV series from 1974. The 40th anniversary of the TV show demands that we do this! But I am not alone. Hosting alongside with me is not my beautiful wife JediTink Sarah, but the Skywalking Through Neverland creative consultant, Mark Oguschewitz.
In our intro episode we give you a refresher of the films and the reasons why the Planet Of The Apes series is so important and has held up over the decades! One word - subtext. What are the Apes movies really about? Each film represents a sign of the time, and the issues the world was dealing with during the years 1968-1973.
And what episode is complete without including the disco mega-hit - Apes Shuffle!
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit has arrived! Walt's first character is now at Disney California Adventure. Don't know who Oswald is or want to learn more? Tracey and Scott from the Disney, Indiana Podcast go into the fascinating history in our Disney Classic Short Report.
