We share how we celebrated May the Fourth before diving into some of the stories about Star Wars coming out of Empire magazine.
Just when it seemed like all the movie and Disney+ news related to Star Wars had settled, Empire released an issue celebrating the franchise and stirred everything up again. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss some of Kathleen Kennedy’s comments regarding projects that most believe have been shuttered. Before we get into that, we discuss what we did to celebrate Star Wars Day (May the Fourth be with you!) and then look at the ongoing box office for Return of the Jedi, Carrie Fisher’s star on the Walk of Fame, and The Simpson’s Star Wars short on Disney+.
In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:
- How we spent Star Wars Day (May the Fourth),
- Kathleen Kennedy’s comments to Empire about Rian Johnson’s trilogy, the Lando series, Rogue Squadron,
- The state of Taika Waititi’s Star Wars movie,
- Kathleen Kennedy’s description of the New Jedi Order movie,
- Chris Ford’s comments about the tone of Skeleton Crew,
- A few details about season two of Andor,
- The updated box office for Return of the Jedi,
- The Star Wars Simpsons Short “Rogue Not Quite One,” and
- The ceremony in which Carrie Fisher got her star on the Walk of Fame.
