by Podcast Stardust

In this Halloween edition of Star Wars news, we reminisce about Star Wars Halloween costumes, celebrate the sixth anniversary of the podcast, and discuss how the Stranger might have become the first Knight of Ren.

Happy Halloween! We’re opening the final news episode of October with a discussion of our Halloween plans and how, if at all, we are incorporating Star Wars into the plans. We also look back on past Halloweens and what part Star Wars played in those celebrations. From there, we celebrate the sixth anniversary of Podcast Stardust and reflect a little on how it started and what has happened since. After that, there is some news to discuss including IMAX plans for the re-release of A New Hope,the revelation that the Stranger from The Acolyte was intended to become the first Knight of Ren, and an excerpt of Master of Evil by Adam Christopher that includes a lot of discussion of bleeding kyber crystals.

In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:

  • Our Halloween plans,
  • Star Wars costumes and decorations from Halloweens past,
  • The sixth anniversary of Podcast Stardust and a little history of the show,
  • A New Hope coming to theaters in IMAX in 2027,
  • How the Stranger might have become the first Knight of Ren, and
  • An excerpt from Adam Christopher’s Master of Evil.
