Rebel Force Radio: Star Wars Podcast

Cur·mudg·eon [kərˈməj(ə)n] noun
 
 a bad-tempered person, especially an old one.
 
We celebrate two legendary curmudgeons who brought the characters of Han Solo and Qui Gon Jinn to life: Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson. Both have been on the interview circuit lately, both have been looking back at their Star Wars careers, and both are sometimes grateful and sometimes salty about their experiences in a galaxy far, far away. We listen to recent interview highlights from the two to get their perspectives as now-older gentlemen. We report on fresh news about the casting of Matt Smith in STAR WARS: STARFIGHTER, shooting later this year, and we look forward to the 50th anniversary of STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE with news of a theatrical release happening in 2027. But what version will it be? Plus, listener feedback gets us looking at what and who are responsible for the Sequel Trilogy going “off the rails” and more!

Star Wars Curmudgeons

Last weekend, George Lucas made his first ever SDCC appearance to promote the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, opening next year in L.A. We have all the highlights of not only what went down in the Lucas panel, but the latest collecting news coming from Hasbro Star Wars and more. As for the future of Star Wars films, we look closely at all of the info about which movies are in development and what order they may be released, following THE MANDALORIAN and GROGU and STAR WARS STARFIGHTER. Plus, we pay tribute to Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan by revealing their connections to STAR WARS and more!

George Lucas Conquers San Diego Comic Con

The actor wearing Din Djarin’s helmet is not always Pedro Pascal. In fact, most of the time it’s Brendan Wayne, grandson of the legendary John Wayne. Making his RFR debut, Brendan Wayne joins us In The Cantina to talk about his experiences on the set of THE MANDALORIAN, his life as an actor and the connection he feels with his famous grandfather’s legacy. He discusses a medical emergency that temporarily prevented him from playing the role, working with superstars like Sigorney Weaver and the late Carl Weathers, and he provides us with excitement as we look forward to next year's feature film, THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU. Plus, we empty out the STAR WARS IN POP CULTURE inbox, we recap a recent RFR hangout and more!

Brendan Wayne: The Man Behind The Mandalorian Mask

We present a spoiler-free review of the box office hit SUPERMAN through the lens of a Star Wars superfan, and we shine the spotlight on recent comments from Mark Hamill who discusses his struggles with the depiction of Luke Skywalker in THE LAST JEDI while attempting to provide some perspective on his relationship with director Rian Johnson. Plus, George Lucas and JAWS 50, the evolution of Mon Mothma from senator to rebel, the return of Star Wars in Pop Culture, Kid Blake rubs elbows with the stars, and more!

Luke Skywalker and The Man of Steel

We’re looking ahead to the future for STAR WARS and, of course, Ahsoka Tano plays a big role. Recently, RFR acquired top-secret concept art images from AHSOKA season two and we go through them all to provide detailed descriptions and observations while looking for clues about the upcoming series. On the animated side of STAR WARS, we speculate about a specific Dark Side character who may show up in MAUL: SHADOW LORD. Plus, Ashley Eckstein recently set the record straight about the origin of #AshokaLives and the role RFR played in it’s creation and more!

AHSOKA Season 2 Concept Art Breakdown

For three seasons, we followed along with The Clone Wars spinoff THE BAD BATCH and all of their adventures. Among the troopers was the young clone Omega, who quickly emerged as one of the most likeable Star Wars characters in a long while. Joining us “In The Cantina” for the very first time is Omega herself, Michelle Ang, who shares stories from behind-the-scenes at THE BAD BATCH along with how she relates to Omega and more. You will find Michelle as likeable as Omega, probably even more. In News Headlines, we react to rumors that Daisy Ridley’s “New Jedi Order” film featuring Rey is rumored to have suffered yet another setback and we speculate about the future of the entire STAR WARS film franchise, along with more casting rumors. ANDOR’s Diego Luna is filling in behind the desk at “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and we have highlights of his conversation with Adria Arjona (Bix!) Plus, Ewoks eating humans, ILM Light and Magic season 2 and more!

Michelle Ang: Omega from THE BAD BATCH

STAR WARS: STARFIGHTER will go in front of cameras later this year and we have fresh casting info, rumors and speculation about this upcoming film starring Ryan Gosling. Mark Hamill is on a media tour to promote his new film “The Life Of Chuck” but that doesn’t stop interviewers from asking him about his Star Wars history. Mark addresses rumors that he’s done playing Luke Skywalker and provides insight into that famous wardrobe malfunction from earlier this year when his pants fell down in front of an audience of his peers at the BAFTA awards. We also have fresh interview highlights from Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy, Bail Organa actor Benjamin Bratt, and Sam Witwer, who talks about the upcoming series, MAUL: SHADOW LORD. And for something completely different, we present you with a connection between John Lennon and STAR WARS that you may never have known before.

STAR WARS: STARFIGHTER News and Rumors

You heard our coverage of The Forest Moon Festival 2025 last week, so this week, we're telling you all of the stories. Celebrating the original Endor shooting locations from RETURN OF THE JEDI in the redwoods region, this annual event is not to be missed. Fanboys director Kyle Newman was there as well and he’s back on RFR to share his experience. We recap all of the tales from behind-the-scenes and listen to the full Fanboys Q&A from the event. Plus, listener feedback, “Star Wars in Pop Culture” and more, delivered to you this week with an extra dose of "Endor Pride"!

Fanboys in the Forest with Kyle Newman

RFR made the journey out to the beautiful redwood forests of California for The Forest Moon Festival celebrating the Endor shooting locations from RETURN OF THE JEDI. From Del Norte County to Humboldt County, we were part of a “caravan of courage” traveling up and down the Pacific Northwest to podcast at various event locations. Joining us were original ROTJ Ewok Kevin Thompson and our pal, FANBOYS director Kyle Newman. We talk to fans, cosplayers, artists, musicians, and locals who share their pride for living in a region that served as the Forest Moon home of the Ewoks. Hear from those who remember when Jedi was being filmed and contributed, along with those who celebrate the legacy. We even find out which “Jedi” cast member got pulled over for speeding! "Magical" was a word that couldn’t be overused throughout the weekend. This week, you can hear what we did. Next week, we’ll tell you the stories. Yub Nub!

Live at The Forest Moon Festival 2025

Now that ANDOR has wrapped up, we aren’t quite ready yet to let it go. We scoured the web to collect the best interview highlights featuring Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy, who provides valuable insights into the finished series and gives us a lot to talk about. FORTNITE recently revealed an all-new A.I. powered Darth Vader character that players can interact with via voice text, so naturally because it’s the internet, people started to manipulate the “Sith-Bot” to say outrageous and unthinkable things. Of course, we had to try ourselves so you can hear what Darth has to say about Rebel Force Radio. It ain’t pretty. Big Announcement! We reveal info about when ticket sales will begin for this September’s RFR at RANCHO OBI-WAN event. Plus, Jimmy Mac reveals his list of Top 5 all-time Star Wars creatives, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK turns 45 and more!

Life After Andor

We continue our deep dive into the “Star Wars” chapter of Bob Iger’s book, featuring behind-the-scenes revelations about the Disney acquisition of Lucasfilm and George Lucas’s desire to remain involved in the creation of the Sequel Trilogy. Was Lucas betrayed and who betrayed him? We once again spotlight excerpts from the books and piece together a timeline of events. As Triple Force Friday launches the merchandising push for THE RISE OF SKYWALKER, we consider many of the challenges STAR WARS collectors face during a time of change for the hobby. Star Wars In Pop Culture returns with a trip to STAR TOURS for THE GOLDBERGS, and Jon Favreau’s THE CHEF SHOW pays a visit to Dave Filoni at Skywalker Ranch. Plus, Swank has a run-in with Ohio law enforcement. Here what happened and how Star Wars saved the day!
