In this week’s edition of Star Wars news on Podcast Stardust, we discuss Mark Hamill’s pitch for Luke’s backstory for The Last Jedi, Star Wars LEGO, more Skeleton Crew, and farewell to an Imperial Admiral.
Mark Hamill has been making the rounds promoting Life of Chuck, and naturally, he is getting asked questions about Star Wars. In one such interview, Hamill shared a pitch he made for Luke Skywalker’s backstory for The Last Jedi. We are sharing our reactions to that pitch in this edition of Star Wars news on Podcast Stardust. Also in this week’s news, a new villain is revealed, along with other details, for Star Wars LEGO: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past. We are having fun looking ahead to the upcoming mini-series while reflecting on last year’s Star Wars LEGO: Rebuild the Galaxy. In addition, John Watts made some cryptic comments about the possibility of a second season of Skeleton Crew, and we say goodbye to Ken Colley, the actor behind Admiral Piett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- The dark backstory Mark Hamill pitched to Rian Johnson for Luke Skywalker’s backstory for The Last Jedi,
- A new villain and other details for Star Wars LEGO: Rebuild the Galaxy – Pieces of the Past,
- Comments from Jon Watts on a second season of Skeleton Crew, and
- The passing of Ken Colley, better known to Star Wars fans as Admiral Piett.
