We cover a little Star Wars casting news before diving into the deleted scenes from The Phantom Menace.
There has not been a lot of Star Wars news recently. So, we decided to combine a few news stories with a discussion of the deleted scenes from The Phantom Menace. There was a surprise casting for a notorious Hutt for the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu movie. The creators of Skeleton Crew know what they want to do with a second season if given a chance. Diego Luna will be making his way to Star Wars Celebration Japan to round out the news. For the portion of the show dealing with the deleted scenes from The Phantom Menace, we discuss ten deleted scenes, whether we liked them, and we think they should have been left in the movie.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- A casting announcement for a surprise Hutt in The Phantom Menace,
- A tease for a potential second season of Skeleton Crew,
- Diego Luna appearing at Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025,
- The deleted scenes from The Phantom Menace, and
- Which, if any, of the deleted scenes we would have like to have seen in The Phantom Menace.
