Updates, mini-sodes & rest of the year schedule

I'd vote Anakin or C3PO/R2D2 (as the two really come as a pair). The robots of Star Wars fascinated me in their arks as they were two of the three characters that appeared in all 6 of the movies, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say extended universe is out because, my god, there is no tracking all of the incarnations of star wars characters through the extended universe.

Anakin works for me.

Please tell me Robespierre is on that list of fictionalized versions of historical figures.

Don Bright

I want to know about Marcia Lucas. She was hugely influential on the first films and she was a brilliant film editor, then she apparently disappeared off the face of the earth. . . and nobody talks about it.

I'm voting for Leia

I'm all about the Clone Wars animated series (both Dave Filoni and Gendy Tartarkovsky). I'd actually be really interested to see General Grievous have a Loose Canon as his portrayal is so drastically different from the 3 parts of the Star Wars canon he has shown up in. Edit: Saw your comment on about the crunch on viewing the entirety of Clone Wars, I'm totally happy to act as a reference because I know the series inside and out and kept tabs on its behind-the-scenes production.

I'd much prefer any episode you put out to be longer; I know it's immensely selfish, due to your other commitments and the sheer amount of time and effort that goes into making these, but I'm more than happy to take them when they happen :)

I think The Force would be a really good idea, because it seems to have been approached in many different ways, even (especially) in the main film series. I think it would be interesting to go through varying interpretations of it and then see how the new movie handles it.

There are lots of interesting ones to do. Han is such a curious case, because he is so central to the dynamic in the first three films (not Hero, Damsel, or Mentor) and he (or at least his character) is really missing from the original. The droids are curious between the versions - and the shift from view point (stolen from a better story-teller) to comic relief. I find the monsters interesting, because they speak to the fantasy origins of the story, so the unseen garbage chute creature, the space-ship eating asteroid worm, at least two in the third film, the terrible gladitorial arena scene in the second prequel.

Alfred van Zant

Boba Fett would be a good platform to talk about the whole process of expanded universing. He's such a minor (if memorable) character in the movies and such a huge deal in fandom. Plus there's his first appearance was in the holiday special, his anticlimactic death and the prequels doing their thing with him.

Kyle Williams

There are really only two women in the Star Wars movie universe that are major characters, and they are mother and daughter. Might be interesting to discuss Lea and Amidala, and or women in Star Wars in general.

I would like to see your take on the jedi. mainly because i think their way of life and how often it contradicts basic human emotions, feelings and needs is quite an interesting thing to look at!

Luninareph

The only reason I saw Episode One: Queen Amidala's wardrobe.

Rodrigo V. Perez

Obi Wan would be more interesting than 'Ani', in my opinion. But as you say maybe people would like something different than a character, like a particular race (ewoks ^_^), or a faction (I see others mentioned the jedi).

Lindsay Ellis

It won't be terribly in depth or else I couldn't get a full episode out in December, but I'll do what I can. I may have to hire an expert.

Bobo Kitty

I'm pretty much a sucker for any jedi stuff, and both ideas sound good to me. I think maybe I like character focused things better.

Stormbourne

"The Jedi" is a really interesting concept, but what can I say? I'm always a sucker for Han Solo.

Gil

The jedi is a great idea! Especially because the original trilogy and the prequels have some inconsistencies in how their viewed.

Joe G

If it's a Star Wars mini-sode, does that mean it's mainly sticking to the films and maybe the Clones Wars/Rebels, and not branching into the depths of the EU (old or current)?

Timothy Morrise

The sith, the empire, the rebels, the jedi as concepts would be enjoyable.
